On The New York Philharmonic This Week we’ll hear a 1945 recording of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor, featuring conductor Bruno Walter and soloist Nathan Milstein who performed more than 70 concerts with the Orchestra between 1930 and 1987. After that, we have Beethoven’s Missa solemnis, conducted by Music Director Emeritus Kurt Masur. Alec Baldwin is your host on The New York Philharmonic This Week.
