A Mozart master shows off his artistry

Some young pianists may be fleet of fingers, but there's something special about a veteran player who can reach into the depths of a piece and come up with fresh insights from a familiar work. Maurizio Pollini does that when he performs Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24, conducting the Vienna Philharmonic from the keyboard at the Musikverein in Vienna.
