Pianist Lara Downes and Pulitzer-winning author Salamishah Tillet discuss Nina Simone and one of her best-known songs at her lovingly restored birthplace in Tryon, N.C. 
The French pianists celebrate more than a half century of recording together with a triple-disc set containing many brand new tracks. 
Harpo Marx — the "silent" Marx brother — can finally be heard speaking in a live album of recently recovered material, which was recorded just six months before he died in 1964. 
Renée Fleming and Béla Fleck's joint project, which took more than 20 years to finalize, sees them collaborate with other folk musicians and singers. 
Will Sharpe imagines Mozart's day-to-day in 'Amadeus.'

The composer created her own symphonic fable that weaves Andean cosmology with the natural world. 
Through the American centuries, 'Amazing Grace' endures. 
The song, penned before American Independence by a slave trader turned abolitionist, has remained a source of comfort, inspiration and redemption. 
Gabriela Lena Frank wins music Pulitzer for 'Picaflor: A future myth'.
