Love Sucks
Today on Soundcheck, in honor of Valentine's Day, we look at the wonders of falling in love and new Rhino CD called, "Love Sucks." Also: Are audiences ready for the Peter Gelb era at the Metropolitan Opera? That is the question buzzing in New York’s music circles after the incoming general director of the Met laid out his plans for the world's largest opera house at a press conference yesterday afternoon. We get two reactions today, from Anne Midgette, classical music critic of the New York Times; and Katherine Gill, vice-president of the Wagner Society of New York. Finally, a tour of the history of spanish Flamenco with Manuel Macias, a Spanish official responsible for Flamenco Tourism in Andalusia.
