With my guest, violinist Dan Zhu, this morning on WPRB 103.3 FM. Yesterday, Dan performed the Beethoven Violin Concerto with the Bravura Philharmonic Orchestra at Princeton University’s Richardson Auditorium. Among his other achievements, he was the first violinist to perform in Antarctica! He returns to play for the penguins in December. Check out his recent recordings of music by Bright Sheng (on Naxos) and Boris Papandopulo (on cpo.de – classic production osnabrück).
