"The Twentieth Century Crossroads"

Today Suzy Klein is joined by the writer and journalist, Alex Ross. As music critic of the New Yorker, and author of the award-winning book about 20th century music, 'The Rest is Noise', Ross is in the UK to give the Royal Philharmonic Society lecture, and found time to join Suzy for a Sunday morning conversation about the extraordinary, eclectic century of music that we have just left behind.
