Classic Newsnight Podcast 10th August 2007

Welcome to the latest edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast. You might be surprised to learn that it contains an exclusive interview with Mike Oldfield – he of Tubular Bells fame. What’s he got to do with classical music? The answer is just a click away. Less surprising, but equally interesting, is a preview of the Edinburgh International Festival. Classic FM’s resident GP, Rob Hicks, takes a look at the latest thinking on the link between excessive sunbathing and skin cancer. And if you’ve ever lain awake at night, wondering how the sound of a Harley Davidson motorcycle could be imitated by an electric violin, wonder no more: we ride off into the sunset with Maxim Vengerov.
