Garrick Ohlsson plays Chopin, Joshua Bell plays Mendelssohn
Today on PT, we're revisiting some of our favorite performances from earlier this year. 2010 marked Frederic Chopin's 200th birthday, back in March. Of all the celebrations across the globe in his honor, one of the most memorable was from Chopin's home town in Poland. American pianist Garrick Ohlsson gave a very special recital there on Chopin's birthday. He played on an 1848 Pleyel piano once owned by Chopin, in a manor house in Chopin's home town. Plus, we'll return to the Aspen Music Festival to hear stories of Aspen from Joshua Bell, Gil Shaham, Ingrid Fliter, and others. And we'll hear Bell's performance of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto from Aspen.
