Review of WNYC's Fishko Files: An Hour with Ned Rorem

A thorough introduction to the important American composer and provocateur, with a generous range of musical excerpts from his work. The interview shows off Rorem's characteristic candor and eccentric opinions -- for example, failing to see what's so great about Beethoven.
