PT and Hamelin in Boston
Franz Liszt wrote hundreds of original piano works and piano transcriptions. But his magnum opus for the piano is the B Minor Sonata. Marc-Andre Hamelin performs it, from a special PT event several weeks ago in Boston, hosted by Fred Child. Plus, we'll hear the late great poet Bill Holm reading his own poem, based on Franz Liszt's "Forgotten Romance."
