Happy Thanksgiving
On Thanksgiving Day, we'll feature music by great American composers Aaron Copland and Leonard Bernstein. Martin Frost, the virtuoso Swedish clarinetist, plays Copland's jazzy clarinet concerto. We'll hear Bernstein's overture to Candide, from a concert in Luxembourg. And Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony from the Tanglewood Music Festival, about 150 miles west of the site of the very first Thanksgiving feast in 1621.
