Live from Carnegie Hall
Two weeks ago, 250 musicians were assembled on stage at Carnegie Hall in New York. Not to mention an off-stage military band, horns on the 3rd balcony, and bells in the light boxes. The glorious sounds of Gustav Mahler's Resurrection Symphony filled up every nook and cranny in the hall. We'll have highlights in today's show, from that Carnegie Hall concert by Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic.
