Can the Internet help save the orchestra world? That is the question in the wake of several new recording initiatives. Among them: the New York Philharmonic just announced it will sell digital downloads of live performances, and the Sydney Symphony in Australia recently announced it will offer audio and video streaming through its web site. Joining us with some perspecti, the sve is Zarin Mehta, president and executive director of the New York Philharmonic, James Jolly, editor-in-chief of Gramophone, and Anastasia Tsioulcas, columnist for Billboard magazine. Also on the show: Teddy Thompson. Fresh from his appearance on the "Brokeback Mountain" soundtrack, Thompson, the son of Richard and Linda Thompson, will showcase his talent for combining smart lyrics with catchy melodies and spirited grooves.
