Influenced by Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony in its key, depth and concision, this is a profound work of genius.    Antonin Dvorak String Sextet in A, op. 48 Caroline Campbell, Scott Yoo, violins Samuel Formicola, Paul Severtson; violas Trevor Handy, Christina Soule, cellos    Brahms was a champion of the young Dvorak and here, Dvorak pays him tribute in this lush sextet that blends the rollicking folk idioms of Dvorak’s Slavonic dances with the Viennese lyricism brought to its pinnacle by Brahms.
