Classical music in Asia
Years ago, there were few if any American orchestras that could measure up to those in Europe. Now, many of the finest bands in the world are from the states. The next orchestral frontier is in Asia, with several talented groups emerging. On today's show, the KBS Symphony Orchestra from Seoul, South Korea, plays Tchaikovsky's sixth symphony. Claus Peter Flor conducts.
