Half an hour of the finest classical music

Half an hour of back to back classical music, including Dvorak's playful string quartet F major, the bombast of Mozart's overture to Die Entf眉hrung aus dem Serail, and Nina Simone's virtuosic take on perhaps one of Richard Rodgers's most famous show tunes.
