Busy Barenboim

Daniel Barenboim is a full-time pianist. And a full-time conductor. If you think that adds up to too much, Barenboim is quick to disagree. In fact, he wants to keep up the frenetic pace. He says, "I pray every day that I will not get comfortable in my old age." In today's show, Barenboim the pianist and Barenboim the conductor, from concerts in Vienna and Essen, Germany.
