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.
This year's Gramophone Awards have just been announced; Paavo Järvi won Artist of the Year, and German pianist Joseph Moog took Young Artist of the Year honors. Poignantly, the award for Recording of the Year went to a CD that was recorded just a few months before its conductor's death.
Prima Donna, the debut opera by indie-pop music star Rufus Wainwright, is coming to CD—on Deutsche Grammophon, no less. We'll see if the critics are kinder to the recorded version than they were to the live performances.
