Saint Paul Sunday

Dream Team: If chamber music had a "dream team," Bill's guests this week, OPUS ONE, would be it. Four players representing the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Tashi, the Beaux Arts Trio and the Orion and Guarneri String Quartets, OPUS ONE is the result of a mutual love of music-making between these extraordinary instrumentalists and friends.

Nikolaj Znaider is a young Danish violinist who more and more is earning his reputation as one of the world's greats. His longtime collaborator and musical soul-mate, Pinchas Steinberg, is at the helm of one of the world's great orchestras for this performance of their desert-island composer, Johannes Brahms. It doesn't get much better than this.
