Buchbinder Plays Mozart
Where does genius come from? Sometimes, it seems to be a combination of nature and nurture. Mozart was a child prodigy who grew up in an intensely musical family. The only thing astonishing about his talent was its magnitude. Then there are great musicians who seem to spring from out of nowhere. Pianist Rudolph Buchbinder was a child prodigy who was raised in a non-musical household, a place where the family piano was nothing more than a piece of furniture. In today's show, Buchbinder plays a Mozart concerto, from a concert in Madrid.
