Mo’ than Mozart

What could be the connection between Mozart’s "Requiem" and Indian and Persian improvisations? Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival hopes to find out tomorrow night when it presents the string duo Ghazal alongside Mozart’s final masterpiece. That the festival has been known for much of its 38-year-history as a mainstay of Western classical music makes this concert all the more daring. Today, members of Ghazal joins guest host Chris Bannon with a live performance. Speaking of Mozart’s Requiem, Marion Lignana Rosenberg, a regular contributor to Newsday and Time Out New York, joins us to review a new CD of the work, conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt.
