A supergroup plays Mozart

Last week, Colorado's Aspen Festival hosted a concert that offered a rare opportunity to hear three masters of their instruments playing chamber music together. We'll go there to hear violinist Gil Shaham, pianist Yefim Bronfman and cellist Lynn Harrell play a Mozart Piano Trio. Find out why this was the festival's toughest ticket.
