The Cliburn: "Encore! with James Conlon" - Episode 3

The third of a six-episode series.
Maestro James Conlon explores the relationship between the concert pianist's internal world and the composer's score - with the finalists of the Twelfth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition as his examples - and examines what makes one interpretation so different from another.
This fascinating series, which premiered on PBS in October 2005, also features chamber performances with the Grammy Award-winning Takács Quartet, and eminent pianist and competition juror Menahem Pressler.
"Encore! with James Conlon" was directed by Andy Sommer and co-produced by Bel Air Media, the Van Cliburn Foundation, and KERA.

hi. this is great stuff, but all i can see are the first 9-10 minutes of the encore! episodes. are the rest of them here somewhere?

thanks for posting these.

thanks, LVB1770, but all i see over there are the first nine or ten minutes of other episodes. i looked on the vancliburnfoundation site and saw a lot of videos of the amateur competition, etc., but nowhere did i see the other parts of the 'encore!' episodes.
