Some Awesome Dvorak



Just amazing. The greatest performing musician of the 20th century, in peak form, playing the greatest piece ever written for his instrument, at my favorite concert festival (the PROMS at Royal Albert Hall in London) in 1974 right after he was forced to defect from the Soviet Union for defending dissidents. SLAVA!
