New Classical Tracks Uncut: Pinchas Zukerman

New Classical Tracks Uncut: Pinchas Zukerman

Sometimes the best stories get left on the cutting room floor. This year, Julie Amacher picks those stories up and shares them with you. She'll count down her six favorite New Classical Tracks interviews of 2016 on "New Classical Tracks, Uncut."

For December 2, Julie shares her full conversation with violinist, violist and conductor Pinchas Zukerman, recorded earlier this year ahead of the release of Zukerman's Complete Recordings on Deutsche Grammophon and Philips. "I just try and reinvent myself," Zukerman says about his lengthy and fruitful career. "That's what I do, that's my life."

Listen to the full conversation above, or subscribe to the New Classical Tracks podcast for this and every episode.
