Unless I overlooked something, references to Dvorak are rare or absent. He wrote an abundance of excellent and very accessible chamber music. I have a London LP (CS 6357) of the Piano Quintet in A with Curzon and Willi Boskovsky that I have enjoyed for about 50 years. I find his quartets particularly fine, as well as a String Quintet in E-Flat.
The reference to Schubert's Octet with ASMF -- also a favorite -- brings to mind the jacket on my LP, an informal photo of Iona Brown with the other musicians. It is simply too tempting to refer to it as "Snow White and the Seven Fairies". Well played, though, for all that. A good group.
