Music That Matters, Haitink, and the Parkers
Part two of our series "Music That Matters" takes us to a patient recovering from a stroke, playing the "Reverie Harp" helps her regain motion in her arm and shoulder. Plus: from a special 80th birthday party for conductor Bernard Haitink in Amsterdam, we'll hear Haitink conduct the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in a performance of "La Mer," by Claude Debussy. And PT's Artists-in-Residence, the Parker Quartet, return to play the opening movement of Bartok's String Quartet No. 1, and to talk about Bartok's inspiration: he was madly in love with a violinist who didn't love him back.
