Simone Dinnerstein
Pianist Simone Dinnerstein tells Kurt about breaking into the classical musical world, topping the classical charts, and what it takes to make an iconic piece of music her own. She plays a selection from Bach’s ?Goldberg Variations? in studio. Dinnerstein’s next album, out in January, is called Bach: A Strange Beauty.
