Love and Music
Cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han started out as musical colleagues. They fell in love with each other's playing. And it didn't take long before they fell in love with each other. Finckel describes their musical chemistry this way, "For us, it was like that right from the start. And I think that was one of the things that just sent up a signal to us that we were meant to be together somehow, in more ways than one." The husband-and-wife team of David Finckel and Wu Han are in the PT studios today, sharing music and conversation with host Fred Child.
