Brahms at the Proms
Violinist Christian Tetzlaff hears every emotion in the Brahms Violin Concerto. He says it starts as a serene, beautiful piece, but then tumbles into incredible depths, with anger and moments of total forlornness. Tetzlaff played the Brahms concerto at the BBC Proms in London earlier this month. Plus, PT listeners weigh in on pianist Yuja Wang and the dust-up over her little orange dress. Details are in today's show.
