The Musicologist as Contrarian with Richard Taruskin
Manage episode 295590523 series 2751998
For our Season 2 finale, a wide-ranging conversation with the eminent musicologist Richard Taruskin. We talk about his trajectory, from playing early music and studying Russian opera to writing the Oxford History of Western Music and penning polemics in the New York Times; his deep-set belief that musicologists should be skeptics and contrarians; what he hopes for the future of music scholarship; and why he believes it's necessary to make people angry.
Richard Taruskin is professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley.
