Classical composer Eric Whitacre must be a publicist’s dream: talented, well-spoken, pop star good looks (check out that hair), married to another talented musician, soprano Hila Plitmann (what is the art world’s equivalent of power couple?), and absolutely dedicated to his craft. His interview with Bob was thoughtful and surprisingly playful for a man who has a Grammy and three chart topping albums under his belt, including his most recent, Water Night.

Enjoyed this interview a lot.
This is some of the most wonderful music I've ever had the real pleasure of experiencing, not just listening…but feeling it deep down within the essence of my being. Thank You so very much to everyone involved..it goes to show…when people work together for the good of all…what an amazing achievement!!! Praise be to GOD, ABBA Our FATHER!!!! I imagine that heavens music would be very similar to this beautiful creation.
