I've been contracted to perform a concert of 19th Century female composers. The musicologist who's idea this is recommended a four part program something like this:

Piano sonata
Piano and violin
Piano and cello
Piano trio

While our initial concert date was for June, with this lockdown, it appears we will likely postpone it.

Picked up a 2-CD set of Dvorak at a garage sale this morning.

Part of a Time-Life Music "Great Composers" series from 1990

Disc 1
Carnival Overture - London Symphony Orchestra, Istvan Kertesz 1966
Symphony No. 9 - Clevland Orchestra, Christoph von Dohnanyi 1986
Scherzo capriccioso, London Symphony Orchestra, Istvan Kertesz Op. 66 1963

Disc 2
Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 104 - Heinrich Schiff, Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, Sir Colin Davis 1981
Serenade for Strings in E, Op. 22 - English Chamber Orchestra, Raymond Leppard 1976

They were actually separate releases (Disc 1 is labeled 'A', 2 labeled 'B'), each with their own jewel case, but oddly enough, the first is on London, while the second is on Philips.

I'll listen later today.
