And the Nominees Are...
The Grammy awards are this Sunday, and today we'll continue our look at some of the nominees. We'll hear violinist Elmar Oliveira playing part of the Bloch Violin Concerto, from a recording that's up for best instrumental soloist. And we'll hear works by composers Meredith Monk and Jennifer Higdon, also up for Grammies. Tune in next week, too, when we'll have news about the winners.
