Lost and Found Sounds
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
It's been dubbed "CSI Mozart" but after months of DNA sleuthing forensic scientists say they have failed to unravel the 200-year old mystery of a skull long believed to be Mozart's. The inconclusive results were announced yesterday on Austrian state television. We're joined by professor Walther Parson, the lead researcher from the Institute for Forensic Medicine in Innsbruck. Also on the show is Queen Esther, a southern born, now Harlem-based vocalist, songwriter and award winning actor who’s been busy creating a sound she calls Black Americana. And we hear from the author of the best-selling book, "The Devil's Horn: The Story of the Saxophone, from Noisy Novelty to King of Cool."
