Rattle, Brahms, and Applause
Conductor Simon Rattle joins Fred to introduce the Symphony No. 1 by Johannes Brahms. This begins a month-long look at the Brahms symphonies with Sir Simon, he'll be on PT every Tuesday through the month of January introducing his performances with the Berlin Philharmonic. And...it was the source of a summer-long debate on PT in 2008, and the subject never goes away -- is it okay to applaud between movements? We'll hear cellist Lynn Harrell in concert in Athens, Georgia, playing a Mendelssohn Sonata. The audience gave him an enthusiastic round of applause after the opening movement. Harrell weighs in on the subject, as does conductor Charles Dutoit, and we invite your comments, as well.
