INTERVIEW BY: TERRY GROSS
We listen to Terry’s 2002 Interview with DAVID BOWIE. Fifty years ago he performed as Ziggy Stardust - his alter ego - for the last time. It was captured in the legendary concert film The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars. That film and the soundtrack have been restored and reissued.
Classical music critic LLOYD SCHWARTZ has a review of a new album devoted to Verdi’s opera choruses. The album is called Verdi Choruses and is conducted by Riccardo Chailly on the Decca label.
JUSTIN CHANG reviews the new film Bottoms. It’s about two longtime best friends who start a girls’ fight club as a ruse to hook up with cheerleaders. Bottoms is the latest movie directed by Emma Seligman after their feature debut, Shiva Baby, and it stars that film’s lead, Rachel Sennott, and Ayo Edebiri from The Bear.
