Dvorak in los angeles

Antonin Dvorak was inspired by the sound of birds when he wrote his Eighth Symphony. But it's also a work of widely varying emotions, of ebullient joy and deep sorrow. From Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, David Robertson leads the L.A. Philharmonic in a stirring performance.
