More on the Cliburn

NPR Music has posted audio links to performances by the pianists who shared the gold-medal prize at the 2009 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in Fort Worth: Haochen Zhang, 19, from China, and a young man from Japan, Nobuyuki Tsujii, 20, who was blind at birth.

To hear Zhang performing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20, and Tsujii performing the Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1, from the final round, with James Conlon and the Dallas Symphony -- and to hear 13 other semifinal- and final-round performances, click here.

And you can visit the Cliburn site for video of the performances.
