  • Mozart and Nazis

    Happy Birthday Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! To conclude our weeklong coverage, we go live to Salzburg with our correspondent Fred Plotkin. Then, British writer Erik Levi looks at what happened when Mozart was embraced by Nazi propagandists in 1941, and how his works were used to promote the Führer's cause. And Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings stop by to perform their music which captures the feel of '60s soul and funk.
