    Best of Soundcheck Live: Episode One

    This week, Soundcheck is highlighting some of the best live music we've heard in our studio in 2007. Kicking off today's show: classical pianists Gilbert Kalish and Wu Han. They perform excerpts from the four-hand piano version of Stravinsky's monumental "Rite of Spring." And later: performances from bluesmen Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Hubert Sumlin, indie rock band Beirut, Brooklyn Qawwali Party and more.
