David Easton
David Easton is regarded as one of the foremost interior designers whose classically inspired traditional rooms embrace what has been called a “sophisticated elegance.” He is much sought-after around the world, and has received a multitude of awards and honors. But it has always been music, he says, that captures his heart more than any other art form – “deeper than a painting, than architecture, even the next meal.”
In conversation with host Gilbert Kaplan, Easton reveals that he only responds to music that reaches “deep into the soul” and that provides a special kind of comfort – “Music is a dream; an escape from life.”
His musical selections include works by Brahms, Fauré, Janácek and the contemporary composer Arvo Pärt.

So, where's the response to David's and Lee's question (which is the same as mine)?
I have the same question as Lee from NJ. I'm particularly interested in the last piece played on the program. Thanks very much.
Is there at least a list of the pieces that were played during this program? I would dearly love to purchase a couple of them but was not able to get the names of the pieces or the composers because I was unable to listen to the whole program without interruption.
