then I realized it was YoYo Ma torturing his cello. Typical Ken Burns tinkling pianos as well. IMO the period music works for obvious reasons but the rest is quite forgettable.

The program itself re-hashes some familiar territory and is schmaltzy to say the least, there was some new footage which was interesting. I could watch 'The Civil War' several times over with nary a thought to boredom but this latest Burns effort just doesn't cut it IMO.
