Variations on Musical Forms
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Author and NPR critic Tim Riley joins us in conversation about the new album from
pianist Christopher O'Riley: True Love Waits. Christopher O'Riley, is host of
From the Top, a weekly radio series that has been
published as "public radio's answer to MTV." The album features the
music of Radiohead re-imagined for solo piano. Composing "travel-size"
operas had been a dream of University of Chicago Music Professor John Eaton for
years before he created the Pocket Opera Players. He'll be in to talk about an
upcoming performance of three of this one-of-a-kind company's current works. Tune
to Soundcheck this week, when Chris Bannon will be sitting in for host John Schaefer.
