Perahia plays the proms

Despite living in London, pianist Murray Perahia hadn't played at the BBC Proms for twenty years. Earlier this month that absence came to an end, and Perahia gave a long-awaited performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24 with the Chicago Symphony. The tickets were a hot commodity, but you can hear the performance today on PT.
