"Antonín Dvorák knew how to listen to nature. The material values of objects change into spiritual values of music." (Václav Talich)

The dreamy overture In Nature's Realm, lively Carnival and dramatically suspenseful Othello.

The enchantment of Dvorák's short pieces - two waltzes and two polonnaises.

Bonus - a 1940 recording of Dvorák's Waltzes with the Czech Philharmonic.
