The Vastness and Mystery of Bach
Describing the vastness and mystery of Bach, pianist Simone Dinnerstein says, "If you...lie down in the country at night and...look up at the stars, and you don't know what any of it means...you're just looking at this huge vista, I would say that his music is like that." Dinnerstein shares some of that vastness and mystery in today's show, playing Bach's French Suite No. 5 in Berlin. Plus, conductor Jaap van Zweden and the Dallas Symphony perform Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony in Dallas.
