Tobias Picker interviewed for Capricorn Conversations

In the eighth episode of Capricorn Conversations, recorded November 11, 2021, Tobias Picker reflects on his affinity for Johannes Brahms, his childhood correspondence with Gian Carlo Menotti, and his body of work including "Old and Lost Rivers." He also talks about his operatic adaptation of Oliver Sacks’ "Awakenings" and its haunting resonance with the pandemic of our own time. This Capricorn Conversation is a companion to director H. Paul Moon’s concert film that includes Tobias Picker on piano.

"Capricorn Conversations" is an occasional podcast series, in the after-life of the documentary feature film "Samuel Barber: Absolute Beauty," featuring more composers from that 20th century American lineage, in conversation with director H. Paul Moon. You can find it on Apple Podcasts as well as Spotify.
