bach and conversation with imogen cooper

Renowned English pianist Imogen Cooper is known for her brilliance with the music of Mozart and Schubert. Now, after four decades on the concert stage, she's performing Bach for the first time. She stopped by our St. Paul studios earlier this week to talk about this new adventure, and to play a Bach partita.
