One last breath of summer
We'll spend most of our second hour with music inspired by summer. The Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet plays Samuel Barber's "Summer Music" in Cleveland. And violinist Joshua Bell plays "Spring" and "Summer" from Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" with the UBS Festival Chamber Orchestra at California's Festival del Sole.
