Sometimes a piece of music can provide relief in a time of crisis -– a layoff, a divorce, a disastrous day on Wall Street. Today: The Record Doctor (a.k.a. music critic Norman Lebrecht) suggests classical recordings that can be used to cope with life’s big dilemmas. Also: Composer Michael Gordon and filmmaker Bill Morrison join us to share their multimedia piece "Lightning at Our Feet," inspired by the poetry of Emily Dickinson.
