Last Monday night October 17, 2011 on 98.7WFMT Radio Chicago and via free streaming anywhere in the world at wfmt.com, a report with music on Chicago Symphony Orchestra music director Riccardo Muti's acceptance of the 2011 Birgit Nilsson Prize in music in Stockholm on October 13. I reported the story, and Muti's press conference comments, in last Friday's Chicago Sun-Times and you can read that here. Musical performances from Stockholm of Verdi by soprano Sondra Radvanovsly, conductor Gianandrea Noseda, and Swedish choirs and orchestra, and classic recordings by Birgit Nilsson herself of Lerner and Loewe (1960), the last scene of Salome (1972), and the Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde (1962).
The program is posted at wfmt.com/criticalthinking for free podcast, download, streaming indefinitely.
See you on the radio! And the Interstream!
