A Sense of Belonging
Today's show is all about home, the places that ground us and give us a sense of belonging. Bedrich Smetana wrote a set of pieces called "My Homeland." We'll hear the most famous, "The Moldau," a depiction of the Moldau River as it winds through the Bohemian countryside. And Latvian composer Peteris Vasks wrote this about his "Plainscapes:""The beauty of the Latvian landscape has given me moments of exceptional happiness. The plains are a dominant feature where one can see the horizon and look at the stars." Plus, we'll have the results of the 2010 Chopin International Piano Competition that just wrapped up in Warsaw.
