A virtuosic tandem plays brahms

You most often find flutist Emmanuel Pahud in front of an orchestra... or leading the flute section of the Berlin Philharmonic. Pianist Yefim Bronfman is usually performing a concerto with an orchestra or playing a solo recital in one of the world's great concert halls. Today, they team up to play an intimate and involving Brahms sonata at Boston's Jordan Hall.
