Dvorak was great the second part Ives (I think) was a bit hard to listen to.

Dvorák's bucolic Eighth Symphony is a delightful late-Romantic treasure. A portrait of country life, complete with rustic dances and birdsong, this is one of the Czech composer's most infectious and beloved works. Popular conductor Michael Tilson Thomas leads Ives' bold and colorful symphonic portraits of great American holidays.
