Ep. 14: Trump-Putin and Classical Music Today: Bernstein, Beethoven and Shostakovich

We unpack the Trump-Putin Summit and dissect the unwarranted bipartisan hysteria that ensued. We then shift to a discussion about classical music in America today with special guests Joshua Gersen and Albert Imperato. We discuss the life of Bernstein, in what would be his centennial, and the cultural and political influences on Beethoven and Shostakovich. We also tackle the popularity of classical music in the 21st century. The views expressed in our show are solely those of the hosts and should not be construed to represent the independent views of our guests.
