Darkness and Light
British pianist Imogen Cooper is known for the beauty and emotional depth of her playing. She's especially admired for her interpretations of Schubert, Beethoven, and Mozart. In today's show, she plays Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23, in concert in Newcastle, England. Bright and sunny outer movements shelter a wonderfully dark, tragic slow movement at its core. Cooper gives both darkness and light their due, in a performance with Thomas Zehetmair and the Northern Sinfonia.
