Eschenbach and Lang Lang's Mozart Telepathy
Christoph Eschenbach is a 70 year-old conductor, originally from Germany. Lang Lang is a 27 year-old pianist, originally from China. For the last decade, Eschenbach and Lang Lang have shared a close musical friendship. Eschenbach says it's eerie, almost telepathic, how they sense each other's musical ideas. They just wrapped up an American tour with the Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchestra. From a concert two weeks ago in San Diego, we'll hear their elegant performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 17.
