Itzhak Perlman plays Brahms
In the first half of the 20th century, thousands of children and young adults were stricken with polio. One of them was violinist Itzhak Perlman, who lost much of the use of his legs when he contracted polio at age 4. Perlman joined host Fred Child recently to talk about his experience with polio, and to discuss efforts at worldwide eradication of the disease. And we'll hear him in a performance of the Brahms Violin Concerto with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
