Coming Back from Injuries

Ukrainian pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk saw everything slip away in an instant, when a car crash led to a month-long coma. Gavrylyuk has fully recovered from that accident, and his playing is more powerful and poetic than ever. We'll hear him in concert in Miami. And another musician who has come back from a devastating injury: violinist Peter Oundjian lost full use of his left hand due to a repetitive stress disorder. So he took up conducting. In today's show, Oundjian leads the Toronto Symphony in excerpts from Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 4.
