Igor and Coco
Composer Igor Stravinsky and fashion designer Coco Chanel. They knew each other in Paris in the 1920s, they even worked together. Did they also have a torrid affair? A new movie says they did...we may never know for sure. We'll hear from a project they shared, the ballet "Apollo." He wrote music, she designed costumes. Highlights from Stravinsky's music on the way from a concert at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Neeme Jarvi conducting the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Hague.
