In this eighth episode, composer Tobias Picker reflects on his affinity for Johannes Brahms, his childhood correspondence with Gian Carlo Menotti, and his body of work including Old and Lost Rivers. He also talks about his operatic adaptation of Oliver Sacks' Awakenings and its haunting resonance with the pandemic of our own time. This Capricorn Conversation is a companion to director H. Paul Moon's concert film that includes the composer himself on piano, as seen at: https://vimeo.com/hpmoon/tobiaspicker
