Kurt Masur is the conductor of a pair of commercial recordings in this week’s broadcast. Yo-Yo Ma is the soloist in Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in a performance from 1995. We will then hear a 1999 recording of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with soloists Sylvia McNair, Florence Quivar, Stuart Neil, and René Pape joined by the New York Choral Artists and The American Boychoir.
