Mostly Mozart (Fringe) Festival - #2503: "Rock Me Amadeus," part 3

As part of our week-long Mostly Mozart fringe festival to augment Mostly Mozart on WQXR, listen to Part 3 of the multi-part series “Rock Me Amadeus.” There's music from vocalist Bobby McFerrin and jazz pianist Chick Corea’s collaboration “The Mozart Sessions.” Also, English minimalist composer Michael Nyman builds his film score “Drowning By Numbers” around a Mozart Sinfonia Concertante and American Larry Austin creates a computer-driven Sinfonia Concertante that he subtitles “A Mozartean Episode.” Plus the Hampton String Quartet asks “What If Mozart Wrote ‘Born to Be Wild’?”
