The Emerson Quartet with David Finckel
Cellist David Finckel has been a member of the Emerson Quartet since 1979. Last month, he said he's leaving the quartet at the end of next season. Before he goes, we'll hear a great performance on today's show from the Emersons, with David Finckel, playing Dvorak's American Quartet, in concert at the Savannah Music Festival.
