Conquering her Nerves
Elizabeth Rowe, principal flutist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, confesses that, "When I listen to any recording of Daphnis and Chloe, I get nervous before the flute solo. It doesn't matter who's playing." We'll hear Rowe getting nervous, and performing beautifully, along with the rest of her colleagues in the Boston Symphony. They'll perform excerpts from Ravel's ballet, "Daphnis and Chloe," including that big, nerve-wracking flute solo. Also, a look at several Grammy-nominated recordings and a new Piano Puzzler.
