A mega-star's New York Debut

He's only beginning to be known in this country, but in his native Japan, 22-year-old violinist Ryu Goto is a mega-star. He appears on national advertisements for a Japanese rail company. He's been the subject of an annual TV documentary since the age of 8. In today's show, we'll hear excerpts from Ryu Goto's smashing debut concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City, where he played works by Max Bruch and Nathan Milstein.
