Equality and Brotherhood
Somehow it seems appropriate that an orchestra dedicated to equality and brotherhood should be playing the music of Beethoven in today's show. Those themes, so prominent in his Ninth Symphony, show up in much of Beethoven's work. We'll hear conductor Daniel Barenboim and the West Eastern Divan Orchestra, made up of Israeli and Arab musicians working side-by-side, performing Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in Lucerne, Switzerland.
