Performances large and small
Today's show features performances that range from about as small as you can get (Jose Franch-Ballester on the solo clarinet) to enormous (the mighty Chicago Symphony Orchestra with the thundering finale from Mahler's first symphony). And yet, there are moments of both intimacy and power in each. Today's show explores the beauty of performances both large and small.
