Finding Tradition and Cutting Edge in Mozart

A Tempo features a conversation with pianist Orli Shaham about what helps Mozart's music endure - and what made it cutting edge at the time he wrote it.

On Mozart's birthday this year, Jan. 26, A Tempo host Rachel Katz chatted with pianist Orli Shaham, who will release the final recordings in her Mozart piano sonata cycle, about what has made his music continue to be popular, and also how he pushed musical envelopes in his time. The conversation will also feature Shaham's perspective on mixing both traditional and new music into her repertoire, including commissioning new works and exploring previously overlooked composers such as Clara Schumann.

Rachel Katz is the host of A Tempo which airs Saturdays at 7 pm.
