Happy Valentine's Day
Today on PT, stories of love and romance, in honor of Valentine's Day. Stories of young love: the mythical Orpheus and Eurydice, newly-married and deeply in love. And we'll meet a pair of real-life young newlyweds, pianists Anna Polonsky and Orion Weiss. We'll hear from cellist Sharon Robinson and violinist Jaime Laredo, musical collaborators and spouses for nearly four decades. Plus, touching stories of love at the opera.
