Episode 123 features an interview with Christopher C. King, a Grammy-award winning producer and audio engineer, and a musicologist. But it’s his avid passion for collecting old 78 rpm records that has established his reputation. Profiles of King have appeared in the New York Times Magazine and Washington Post. King has also published his first book called ‘Lament From Epirus - An Odyssey into Europe's Oldest Surviving Folk Music’…
Exclusively for Worlds of Music, King has chosen a few of the 78’s that he has in his massive collection and talks about why they have a special significance for him.
