Chamber Music on a Grand Scale
Times are tough, but that's not why Christian Zacharias can often be found wearing two hats, as pianist and conductor. It's not about tightening his belt. It's about loosening the lines of communication between soloist and orchestra. In today's show, Zacharias plays and conducts what he describes as "big-scale chamber music," Chopin's Second Piano Concerto, with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.
