French classical pianist Philippe Entremont stars in an old recording of Bartók’s 3rd piano concerto, with conductor Leonard Bernstein at the helm. Later, a lesser known work by African-American composer William Grant Still is paired alongside a giant in orchestral music repertoire: Tchaikovsky’s Symphony “Pathétique.”
