Setting, and breaking, trends
England's Queen Victoria was a trend-setter in everything from fashion to manners to holiday customs. So when her daughter walked down the aisle to Mendelssohn's Wedding March, suddenly everyone started doing the same. We'll hear that trend-setting music, from a concert in Montreal. Igor Stravinsky was all about bucking trends, not setting them. He even defied his own trends, often changing his musical styles. Valery Gergiev leads the London Symphony Orchestra in a performance of his Symphony in C. Plus, cellist Natalie Clein fills in for an ailing Truls Mork on Elgar's Cello Concerto.
