Beethoven 5 like you've never heard it before
Those opening four notes. They're so familiar that they're almost a cliche. How many times have we heard them and thought, oh, that again? We've heard it so many times before. In today's show, we'll hear Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 like never before, in a spectacular performance by the Dresden Staatskapelle. Plus, the do-it-yourself success story of American Pianist Simone Dinnerstein. She plays a Bach suite from a concert in Berlin.
