Click on Classical: A sexy composer, a new book, and a choral reflection

Liszt

Every Monday morning at 9:15, I join John Birge on Classical MPR to talk about stories we're featuring on our websites. Here's what we'll be discussing today.

Who was the sexiest composer of all time? In a new essay, a Pitchfork writer advances a case for one of the great Romantics.

On YourClassical, I reviewed a new book for young adults that tells the gripping, poignant story of Shostakovich and a symphony written under siege.

In the wake of last week's tragic shooting at Delta State University, Tesfa Wondemagegnehu shared a reflection from a choral conductor who worked there for four years.
