A Musical Dream Team
In the end, a piano is nothing more than wood and strings and keys - not all that complex. But to truly bring it alive takes a collaboration of composer, soloist, orchestra, and conductor. In today's show, a musical dream team consisting of composer Frederic Chopin, pianist Emanuel Ax (pictured), the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, and conductor Gustavo Dudamel. They'll perform Chopin's second piano concerto in Gothenburg, Sweden.
