The Pope was a music nerd. Since the Pope's death The Pope was a music nerd. Since the Pope's death on Monday, NPR reporter Tom Huizenga has been learning more about his life, and found that he indeed was more of a common man than one might expect. In 2013, he confirmed rumors that, in his student days in his hometown of Buenos Aires, he once held a gig as a nightclub bouncer. It came as no surprise, then, to find that Pope Francis also had a record collection, and spoke eloquently about his faves.

"Among musicians, I love Mozart, of course," the pontiff told Father Antonio Spadaro, editor of the Jesuit paper La Civiltá Cattolica, in 2013. "The 'Et incarnatus est' from his Mass in C minor is matchless; it lifts you to God!" Other choices were a bit more eclectic. Wagner was a favorite, but not just any Wagner recording — the pope specifically pointed to a performance of the composer's massive Ring cycle, conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler, captured live in 1950 at La Scala in Milan.
