Reunited with his first love
Ever since pianist Jonathan Biss was eight years old, he's been madly in love with Mozart's 22nd piano concerto. It was his favorite piece. He listened to it so often, his cassette tape of it broke. (Remember cassettes?) On today's show, Jonathan Biss performs Mozart's masterpiece with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra at New York's Carnegie Hall.
