Tom Service with guests, stories and the perfect classical soundtrack for the weekend!
An all-star line-up of guests joins us this morning as conductor Vassily Petrenko talks about the power of the symphony and why we need to embrace human music, not AI. And superstar pianist Vikingur Olafsson pops in to champion the music of the Hungarian composer György Kurtág who turns 100 this month.
Continuing our focus on Creators and the stories behind their creations: multi award-winning composer Anna Meredith talks to Tom about her track Nautilus that started life with her stomping along a beach in Scotland but became a powerhouse tune that's been arranged and re-arranged countless times for electronics, orchestra, marching band and even featured in a David Beckham documentary.
To listen on most smart speakers just say, "Ask BBC Sounds to play Saturday Morning”.
