CDA: André Watts

Stephanie alerted me to the death of classical pianist André Watts, who died the other day at the age of 77. I know him as a figure in classical music but don't really know his playing. Here he is playing a Chopin etude on *Mister Rogers* and wow, he's amazing. He has everything you want in a Chopin pianist: the sweep, the drama, the drive, the expression, the effortlessness, and on top of all that, is seems like he's having fun. I love that Mr. Rogers has him play the whole thing without any break or interruption.
