The perfect classical soundtrack to start the weekend!

Tom Service with guests, stories and the perfect classical soundtrack for the weekend!

Including the first in a brand new series for Saturday Mornings: The Creators. Each week we'll meet a musical guest who is making something gamechanging in music or audio - from the smallest ringtone to the biggest concert hall.

Today, we start off with a splash - quite literally! - as Japanese composer Dai Fujikura talks about his new opera inspired by one of the most iconic images in all visual art - The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai. We all know the image of the Great Wave, but very few know anything about Hokusai. Dai helps tell both Hokusai's story and the story behind his groundbreaking genre-spanning operatic collaboration between Scottish Opera and Japanese instrumentalists.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say 'ask BBC Sounds to play Saturday Morning'.
