Leila josefowicz plays bartok

Bartok's Second Violin Concerto - a monumental, yet relatively unknown work - was written for the Hungarian virtuoso Zoltan Szekely, in 1936. But it's been gaining favor as one of the newest mountains to climb for today's soloists, including Leila Josefowicz. This past weekend she played it with the Los Angeles Philharmonic with Gustavo Dudamel conducting. That performance from Walt Disney Concert Hall is featured on today's Performance Today.
