About "String Quintet No. 2 in G Major, Op. 77, B. 49 : Dvořák: String Quintet No. 2 in G Major, Op. 77, B. 49: V. Finale. Allegro assai" by Boston Symphony Chamber Players
Dvořák's finale bursts forth with rustic energy, the Boston Symphony Chamber Players chasing each other through bustling village squares.
