Two from Philly

The Philadelphia Orchestra has an exceptional sound no matter who's on the podium. We'll hear them play a couple of pieces at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center today. Neeme Jarvi conducts Paul Hindemith's "Symphonic Metamorphosis after Themes by Carl Maria von Weber." And cellist Dimitri Maslennikov joins Christoph Eschenbach and the orchestra for Tchaikovsky's "Variations on a Rococo Theme."
