something old, something new, something borrowed...

Igor Stravinsky borrowed all of the tunes from his ballet, "Pulcinella" from Italian music of the eighteenth century. But he put his own musical fingerprints on it. It's a delightful mix of old and new. We'll hear a performance of the Suite from Pulcinella from the New York Philharmonic.
