Happy birthday, Shakespeare
In honor of the (approximate) anniversary of the birth of the Bard, violinist Gil Shaham and pianist Rohan de Silva team up for music that Erich Wolfgang Korngold wrote for a production of "Much Ado About Nothing." And Claus Peter Flor leads the Dallas Symphony in music from Prokofiev's ballet, "Romeo and Juliet," in Dallas.
