Composer Richard Strauss knew all about the French horn; his father Franz was among the great horn players of the day. And when Richard Strauss was 18 years old, he wrote a horn concerto for his father. On Tuesday's Performance Today, we'll hear Philip Myers perform this piece in concert with the New York Philharmonic.
