Neal, Buzz...and Strauss
On the 40th anniversary of the first earthlings on the moon, music that has come to be the soundtrack of space travel: "Also Sprach Zarathustra," by Richard Strauss. We have a concert performance by the Los Angeles Philharmonic...and the voices of Neal Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, from 40 years ago, and from today.
