A Radio Interview About Othmar Schoeck

Deal Hudson of Ave Maria Radio's Church and Culture (tagline: "Church and Culture engages all aspects of our culture with the aim of discussing "cultural apologetics.") was kind enough to have me on his show to talk "Schoeck", dedicating an hour's worth of airtime to the Swiss composer - with a focus on his masterpiece, Notturno... and studded with plenty of excerpts from his music.
