Anne Sophie Mutter
Today on the show: how buyouts and cutbacks in the newspaper business are affecting music criticism. We speak with a working critic who doesn’t like what he sees, and with an editor who feels the real future for music criticism lies on the Web. Also, violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter defines classical glamour with her love of strapless gowns and fast cars; she’ll explain how at the end of the day, Mozart is her main man. And in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, author Malachy McCourt shares the origins of the song "Danny Boy."
