Conversation: Pianist Simone Dinnerstein

Two years ago, "pianist Simone Dinnerstein":http://www.simonedinnerstein.com seized the attention of the classical music world with a debut concert at "Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall":http://www.carnegiehall.org and a self-produced recording of Bach's "Goldberg Variations" that became a bestseller and made many critics' top lists that year. Since then she's given numerous recitals around the world and released a recording, titled "The Berlin Concert," featuring works by Bach, Beethoven and contemporary composer Philip Lasser. Ms. Dinnerstein joined me by phone from her home in Brooklyn, N.Y.: Listen to Dinnerstein perform Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor, Op. 111, Maestoso: Allegro con brio e appassionato, From the "The Berlin Concert" recording: Also from the "The Berlin Concert" recording, Dinnerstein performs J.S.
