Weekend of January 1, 2011
Happy New Year
On this weekend's show, we'll look ahead to some of the stories we'll be covering in 2011, including Franz Liszt's 200th birthday. We'll hear three different versions of Greensleeves, which was once a popular New Year's tune. And what New Year's celebration would be complete without a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony? Roger Norrington leads the Orchestra of St. Luke's and the Westminster Symphonic Choir, from a concert at Carnegie Hall.
