"I'm speaking with the Queen of Americana ... a singer who summons the truth of every song that she touches," BBC Radio 4 Front Row presenter Kate Molleson says of her guest Emmylou Harris. "She brought together the worlds of folk, rock and country music, and she took harmony singing to new heights." Harris spoke with Molleson about her life and career ahead of her European Farewell Tour, which begins in Glasgow and Dublin this weekend. You can hear the episode here. Harris also spoke with the Guardian's Fiona Sturges about her career in music and why she won't be winding it down anytime soon. "I don’t really know what winding down is,” Harris says. “I think when you’re an artist, you don’t ever really retire. As I tell my friends, I don’t know what I’m doing, but I sure am doing a lot of it.”

“One might say being an artist who represents mastery and excellence of a time honored genre and simultaneously having an adventurous spirit comes naturally to this week's guest," says Sheroes host Carmel Holt.

“If you've seen One Battle After Another, you will know that the score is so important to the film," Soundtracking host Edith Bowman says ahead of her conversation with the score's composer, Jonny Greenwood. "And it starts with score. You're in it because of that. There's so many textures and layers and wonderful motifs and themes throughout the entire score. I think it's definitely one of my favorite Jonny Greenwood scores. And it feels like it's almost everything that he's previously done with Paul Thomas Anderson has led to this particular score. It's so good … Incredible.” You can hear their conversation here.

"I have seen this woman perform live a number of times, and one of the great thrills of watching her has been beholding what she has discovered, what she has unearthed in music that other artists wrote," Wesley Morris says of Cécile McLorin Salvant, his guest on the New York Times' Cannonball. "Their songs become hers, and to a listener, they mean something deeper than the original and often sound completely new." The episode is focused on the art of the cover song—a phrase Salvant doesn't use—and opens with a list of Morris's all-time favorites, on which he includes Salvant's take on Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights," from her 2022 Nonesuch debut album, Ghost Song.

"No other group in jazz, past or present, sounds quite like Mary Halvorson’s Amaryllis," WRTI's The Late Set says of its guest and her band. "A sextet that places her guitar within a shifting matrix—alongside trumpet, trombone, vibraphone, bass, and drums—it’s a chamber ensemble with a dynamic core, forever in a state of flux." Halvorson spoke with Josh Jackson, The Late Set co-host with Nate Chinen, about the band—whose new album, About Ghosts, is on the show's short list for Album of the Year—ahead of a recent concert at Solar Myth in Philadelphia. You can hear it here.

Composer Thomas Adès—whose GRAMMY-winning Dante, performed by LA Phil and Gustavo Dudamel, was released on Nonesuch in 2023—is on BBC Radio 4's This Cultural Life to discuss his life and work with host John Wilson, who calls his guest "one of the most revered and prolific British classical musicians." They talk about the influence of Adès's art historian mother, an expert in surrealism, and grandmother, who introduced him to the work of T.S. Eliot; getting to the semi-finals of the BBC’s Young Musician of the Year; and going regularly to the English National Opera. You can hear their conversation here.

Tortoise's Dan Bitney and Douglas McCombs are on the latest episode of Kreative Kontrol to discuss the band's new album, Touch, out next week, which host Vish Khanna calls "one of the strongest ones they've released to date."

That same day, Touch, can be heard a week early at listening events at 150+ independent record stores around the world.

"Steve Reich was a very important part of my listening," Brian Eno tells the New York Times' Ezra Klein. "All of his work, I think, depends on making your brain perform and watch itself performing in a certain way. So I suddenly thought then, ‘Oh, the composer isn’t just Steve Reich. It’s Steve Reich and my brain that’s making this composition what it is.’ And that thought never left me, that you actually are engaging the technology of the listener’s brain to complete the piece. They’re not passive.” You can watch and hear their conversation here.
