Great Symphonies
Today's show features two great symphonies - the Houston Symphony under Hans Graf, and the Cleveland Orchestra under Alan Gilbert. It also features two great symphonies - Tchaikovsky's second ("The Little Russian") and Dvorak's sixth. Plus, we'll hear an emotionally-charged performance by the young Ukrainian pianist, Alexander Gavrylyuk, playing music by Rachmaninoff.
