One of the few clarinettists to have established an international career as a soloist
Emma Johnson was once described as “Britain’s favourite clarinettist”, being one of the few clarinettists to have established an international career as a soloist. Since winning the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition in 1984, Emma has been one of the UK's biggest selling classical artists ever, selling over a quarter of a million discs worldwide, and being awarded an MBE in 1996 for services to music. Emma joins Jane to discuss her career and demonstrate some Klezmer music. Emma Johnson performs at the Cheltenham Music Festival on Monday 13 July.
