Today on Soundcheck, composer John DuPrez talks about how he captures the rogue spirit of the British comedy troupe. Also: New York choral ensemble Cerddorion challenges the old notions of choruses by performing a wide range of today's leading composers.

Levine, as well their take on "oldies" by Rennaissance composers Josquin and Monteverdi.
