Classic Newsnight Podcast 13-07-07

Welcome to another scintillating edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast. All right then, let’s cut the hyperbole and tell you what’s in it. The fifth Mostly Mozart Festival has just got underway at the Barbican in London, and Bob Jones has been investigating a project in which Mozart’s music is used as the starting point for improvisation. We have our regular weekly check-up with the Classic FM doctor, Rob Hicks; and we meet the Welsh soprano, Elin Manahan Thomas, whose debut CD has just hit the shops. And speaking of Wales, one of Chris Powling’s book choices this week involves a Welsh author he tells me writes like a dream. So stop dreaming and start clicking!
