Ott also shares her passion for rediscovering overlooked composers, including John Field, whose nocturnes inspired her latest recording, and discusses bringing the music of Jóhann Jóhannsson to the piano. She talks about collaboration, creativity, and the ways both forgotten and contemporary composers continue to shape how we experience music (Air Date 7/20/26).
