Dvorak in Budapest
An hour of folk-flavored fare reaches a climax with a fiery performance of the Dvorak Cello Concerto. At a concert at Budapest's Palace of Arts, Pieter Wispelwey performs one of the great works for his instrument, in the company of conductor Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra. And Bruce Adolphe has the week off, so no Piano Puzzler today. Bruce will be back with a new Puzzler next week.
