Beethoven's Ninth from the Proms
When it comes to upholding traditions, the Brits do it better than just about anybody else. Their big summer music festival, the BBC Proms, is full of traditions. And there's none bigger than their annual performance of Beethoven's monumental Ninth Symphony. We'll hear the final two movements, including the famous Ode to Joy. Plus, PT Young Artist in Residence Charlie Albright is back in the studios for music and conversation with Fred Child.
