American pianist Richard Goode is thoughtful, precise, and introverted, with a smart and goofy sense of humor: all of which makes him perfect for music by Mozart. On Monday's Performance Today, Goode joins Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a performance Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20.
