How would your diary sound?
What happens when you take the diaries of a 17th-century amateur composer and professional dilettante and set his stories to music? Bass singer Curtis Streetman talks about his program inspired by the diarist Samuel Pepys. Also, the American Symphony Orchestra marks its 40th anniversary this season, so conductor Leon Botstein stops by to preview their upcoming celebration with the music of Anton Bruckner. Plus, a CD review from music writer David Hurwitz.
Samuel Pepys chronicled his life and the political and cultural events in England
from 1660-1669. Though the diaries are his lasting legacy, Pepys was also an
Admiral and a member of Parliament, leading a fascinating life in tumultous
England for decades after he put his journal down.
