Musical Getaways, Great Concertos

All this week, we're featuring terrific women violinists in concerto performances. Today's soloist is Dutch violinist Janine Jansen, playing the Dvorak concerto in Australia. And for those suffering from cabin fever, we've got a cure. Some musical vacations are on the way, from downhill skiing, to a vacation on the Italian Riviera, to a stop at a fashionable French cafe.
