Luciano Pavarotti (www.lucianopavarotti.com)Backstage Tell-All
Luciano Pavarotti's former manager, Herbert Breslin, and New York Times classical music critic Anne Midgette have written The King and I: The Unsensored Tale of Luciano Pavarotti’s Rise to Fame by His Manager, Friend, and Sometime Adversary, an a biography of the legendary tenor. As the title suggests, it’s a juicy read as related by a tough and streetwise manager. Today Breslin and Midgette join host John Schaefer to dish about just what was going on behind the scenes as Pavarotti was rising to fame and remaking the landscape of the opera business. And for something completely different, Will Ackerman, guitarist and father of the New Age movement, joins us to discuss his new album, Returning. He also looks back on a career that included founding Windham Hill Records.
