In the fifth podcast of the 08-09 season:
Violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg explains how her adventures with contemporary and popular styles inform her performance of seasoned concertos, like the Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1, which she performs this week with The Philadelphia Orchestra.
As the Orchestra gears up for its European tour, Jim Cotter learns from another great violinist, Leonidas Kavakos, about the experience of a soloist on tour - the music making, places, and people.
Philadelphia Orchestra Principal Librarian Robert Grossman also shares his stories from previous tours, and the secrets of one of a symphony orchestra's most important roles.
