Dvorak's Op 97 string quintet left me pretty cold, despite the 1968 efforts of the Budapest String Quartet. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that Haydn, Dvorak and Liszt are a lost cause in so far as I am concerned. Odd, and personal, that I can love Handel but be bored by Haydn, like Mendelssohn and love Schubert, yet yawn at Liszt, and love Janacek yet always fall asleep in Dvorak. Mais c'est comme ça. Dvorak ain't for me.

Well, maybe that was because you choose the Budapest. It's not a good
one for Dvorak. You should listen to de Smetana with Josef Suk on second viola. But, if you don't like Antonin, there's nothing to do. I was ready to offer you copies of complete Dvorak's chamber I've, but
better no.
