Osvaldo Golijov's Azul
When we first aired a performance of Osvaldo Golijov's "Azul," we were flooded with listener calls and emails. They used words like wonderful, exciting, genius, original, electrifying, mesmerizing, and transformational. "Azul" is back on today's show, in a performance featuring cellist Yo-Yo Ma and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.
