Hilary Hahn in our Studios
Violinist Hilary Hahn joins host Fred Child to talk about her surprising new Bach project, which combines violin and voices. And Hilary Hahn teams up with pianist Orion Weiss in the studio to play a set of Romanian Dances by Bela Bartok, and Hungarian Dances by Johannes Brahms. Also: you may have heard 4 minutes of Stravinsky's Firebird during Olympic figure skating this week -- we'll hear a scintillating performance of the entire Firebird suite. Franz Welser-Most conducts the Cleveland Orchestra, during one of their winter residencies in Miami.
