The Three Bs

Bold. Brash. Breathtaking. This series showcases the monumental works of quintessential composers of classical music: Beethoven, Bach, and Brahms. Daniel Barenboim leads the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra through two of Beethoven's beloved symphonies, Iván Fischer enlightens Bach's stirring St. Matthew Passion with the Orchestra of St. Luke's, and violinist Lisa Batiashvili joins the Staatskapelle Dresden for Brahms's Violin Concerto.
