Swooning along with Garrick Ohlsson
Pianist Garrick Ohlsson says that whenever he announces a Chopin nocturne as an encore, there's always a collective swoon in the audience, "aaahhhhh." Ohlsson will make us swoon with two by Chopin: a nocturne and a scherzo, from a concert at the Rockport Chamber Music Festival in Massachusetts. Plus, you may have heard a number of Haydn symphonies (he wrote 104 of them). Today, we'll hear how it all began, when the Neuss Chamber Orchestra performs Haydn's Symphony No. 1.
