In this special episode of Health Matters, we talk to Dr. Peter Liou, a transplant surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, whose passion outside of work is playing the piano. He shares how the lessons he's learned in music — and the discipline it takes to master a song — translates to the work he does in the operating room.Dr. Liou was recently part of the surgical team at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center that performed the first fully robotic liver transplant in New York. He shares what it was like to be part of the pioneering procedure and describes how surgery, like playing music, is an art. He also talks about how music taught him about both failure and resilience — and how his childhood piano teacher, Miss Olga, remains one of the most influential mentors in his life.___Dr. Peter Liou is also an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. He is board-certified in general surgery and received specialty training in abdominal transplant and hepatobiliary surgery.

Auch mit Orchester zu spielen ist für ihn Kammermusik: "mittendrin sitzen, mit großen Ohren, als Teil eines Ganzen" sagt Krystian Zimerman. Als er 1975 mit 18 Jahren den ersten Preis beim Chopin-Wettbewerb in Warschau gewann, war er der jüngste Sieger in der Geschichte des renommierten Wettbewerbs. Heute ist Musik für ihn die Kunst, Emotionen zur rechten Zeit zu organisieren. Der letzte Touch, der die Kunst ausmacht, kommt im Konzertsaal, verrät er. Eine Produktion von BR-Klassik aus der Reihe "Meine Musik".

She has been recognized with numerous awards, including Album of the Year in the NYC Jazz Record (2018, 2020, 2023) and Pianist and Vocalist of the Year (2019) by Hot House Magazine, among other prestigious accolades. A world-renowned ambassador of Jazz excellence, alto saxophonist, clarinetist and composer, Klas Lindquist, was born in Göteborg, Sweden. Klas is considered one of Sweden's most exciting Jazz musicians. He is the recipient of the “The Golden Sax” award, “The Alice Babs Award,” “The Stockholm Stads Kulturstipendium”, and the “Gavatin Foundation Prize for Jazz Music.” Recognized for his technical brilliance, imagination and style, Klas is in demand as a recording artist, and has appeared on over 40 albums as a featured soloist and five albums as a leader. These two seasoned artists with impressive resumes are very fond of the duo format, which is what led them to develop their latest release. And this is where we start our conversation.

This is an Encore Presentation of my March 2024 interview with Eliane Elias, the extraordinary and exquisite Brazilian jazz pianist, singer and composer. She is a multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy winner. She combines Brazilian music, jazz and classical into a remarkable repertoire. Her recordings run the gamut from The Doors to Antonio Carlos Jobim to Chick Corea to Classical to Man Of La Mancha to her original compositions. She has performed with a Who's Who of musicians including Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Randy Brecker.My featured song is my cover of Chick Corea's “Sea Journey” from my debut 1994 album Miles Behind.
