Gergiev conducts mozart's jupiter symphony
There's a new PBS documentary about conductor Valery Gergiev called "Maestro." We'll meet up with the maestro in Amsterdam, where he'll lead the Rotterdam Philharmonic in Mozart's final (and arguably greatest) symphony, the "Jupiter." We'll also go to a recital in London, where the all-star team of violinist Joshua Bell and cellist Steven Isserlis performs some duets by Reinhold Gliere.
