From miniature to larger-than-life
We'll feature the wide emotional range of the piano in today's show, from two charming and reflective miniatures played by Stephen Hough and Jose Enrique Bagaria, to Beethoven's brooding and powerful third piano concerto. Alfred Brendel performs with Franz Welser-Most and the Cleveland Orchestra, in one of his last American appearances before he retired last year.
