Live from Carnegie Hall
Three weeks ago, Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes gave a solo recital at Carnegie Hall in New York. PT's Fred Child was there, hosting the live APM special. In case you missed it, we'll be rebroadcasting highlights from Andsnes' spectacular performance on today's show, works by Haydn, Debussy, and Rachmaninoff.
