This cultural historian regards Coco Chanel as a titan of fashion but notes, “Like Picasso or Wagner, she was really really brilliant and just an absolutely despicable human being.” Anti-Semite, union-buster, Nazi spy: when great artists are bad people.

I only caught the last segment of today’s show about high heel shoes and I thoroughly enjoyed it. At the end of the show there was a jazzy musical interlude of a classical piece by Mozart, I think. Could you possibly tell me who recorded that selection?
Thanks so much.
The musicians – playing live – were Eléonore Weill and Ali Dineen. I like them, too.
