The Cleveland Competition
German pianist Alexander Schimpf won the Cleveland International Piano Competition last Saturday night in Cleveland. The win catapults him into a new arena, with a grand prize of $50,000 and two years of concerts. But he wasn't thinking about that when PT host Fred Child spoke with him shortly after his big win. Schimpf said he was thinking of his family back home in Germany. They listened to his gold-medal performance of Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto over the internet on Saturday. You can hear it in today's show.
