mozart by a rising star

Pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard's career is on the upswing. He's been busy making a name for himself with some great concerts lately. His recording of Bach's "Art of the Fugue" is a hot seller. Today we'll hear him in a performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.
