Musto on Musto (and Bastianello too)

Evening Music | May 6, 2010

Composer/pianist John Musto joins Terrance McKnight in the studio to talk about his musical projects, and to present an exclusive live recording of his new opera "Bastianello." Dealing craftily with the "interplay of humor and melancholy" found in married life, "Bastianello" dazzled audiences and critics at its World premiere in Weill Hall last March when it was mounted by the New York Festival of Song.
