Chopin Inspires, and Pittsburgh Wows
We've been celebrating Frederic Chopin's 200th birthday all month with great performances of his music. In the first hour, nothing by Chopin himself, but a full hour of music inspired by him. Plus, the Pittsburgh Symphony got rave reviews for their performances on a recent European tour. We'll hear them in Dvorak's 8th Symphony, from Bonn, Germany. Manfred Honeck conducts.
