No accounting for taste. I would put this (for me) perhaps Nr 20 after lots of stuff by JB Bach or Beethoven. But I do like the sound of the cello and this is a master. I recently acquired a set of all the piano trios of Beethoven--usually piano, cello, violin (in this set the cello was Jacqueline du Pre. She was taken away from music way too young,) From the liner notes I was surprised to learn that many of these trios were originally scored for Clarinet, not violin.
Dvorak has some (for me, again) soothing stuff that makes my life better under current conditions.
