Watch: Ken Burns Talks LEONARDO on CBS Sunday Morning
"There's a kind of dynamism and movement to it that's just exquisite," Ken Burns says of Leonardo da Vinci's work, on CBS Sunday Morning. "He could feel, I think quite rightfully, that he had lived a fuller life than practically anybody I've ever come across in my study in any period." Burns was on the show with his co-directors, Sarah Burns and David McMahon, to talk about their new two-part documentary, LEONARDO da VINCI, which airs on PBS November 18 and 19 and for which Caroline Shaw wrote an original score.

Michael Wilson / 25 Years: A Nonesuch Collection
Michael Wilson / 25 Years: A Nonesuch Collection—100 box sets of 20 newly created prints from photographer Michael Wilson's Nonesuch archive—is out now, including the below image of composer/pianist Timo Andres, who also wrote a note for the box. Here Wilson reflects on making the photo:
Timo Andres (2009)
I'm glad to have met Timo. This picture is from the first time we worked together, and it makes me happy to look at it again. The light coming through the windows is beautiful, without a doubt, but it is the things that I wasn't paying attention to at the time that please me the most now: the lamp with the burnt-out bulb, the sheet music on the ground at Timo's feet, and the effortless way he has settled himself in front of the camera.
