Virtuoso

Friday, January 25, 2008

In the music world, being labeled a virtuoso is the highest compliment... or is it? WNYC's Sara Fishko considers the question, in this edition of the Fishko Files.

More To Do:
Marc-André Hamelin will be performing with renowned violinist Midori at Lincoln Center's Rose Hall next month. Click here for more information and tickets.

More To Hear:
Listen to Sara Fishko's Hour with Oscar Peterson, an in-depth interview with music.

You can purchase recordings of Marc-André Hamelin's "virtuosic" performance of Godowsky or the more "emotive" Haydn at amazon.com.
