Happy Birthday Raymond Leppard

We celebrate the prolific conductor's 82nd birthday, Tuesday, August 11 on WFMT with many of Leppard's recordings. Raymond Leppard also kindly obliged to an extended interview with WFMT's Noel Morris - and you can hear excerpts from that conversation all day Tuesday on 98.7. Still more on Leppard...including this bio highlighting many of his accomplishments:
