Chopin Inspires
2010 marked the 200th anniversary of Frederic Chopin's birth. We brought you great performances of his music from all over the world. In today's show, something a little different. Nothing by Chopin himself, but a full hour of music inspired by him. Plus, a terrific performance of Dvorak's Seventh Symphony by Marin Alsop and the Baltimore Symphony.
