Newsnight Podcast # 5

Here’s the latest edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast; lovingly crafted to provide you with an online experience you’ll want to download and treasure. Seriously though, we’ve got some gems for you to enjoy this time around. As well as regular contributors, like the Classic FM doctor, Rob Hicks, and our resident bookworm, Chris Powling, we hear from two of the world’s top violinists. Sarah Chang tells us why the Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1 is in her all time top three, while Tasmin Little talks about her passion for the music of Delius. We’ve also got the last of Bob Jones’s four reports on the Channel Five TV series, The Singing Estate. Has the conductor Ivor Setterfield succeeded in his task of turning forty novice singers from a tough housing estate into a fully-fledged choir, fit for a performance at the Royal Albert Hall? You be the judge!
