We’re already at Bach before 7. Partitas for solo violin. Gorgeous music. But what’s your favourite piece of Bach.

It’s almost time for breakfast on BBC radio 3. Who’s up before the sun like me. Music by Florence Price, Paul Dukas and Bach before 7 is a double violin concerto.

I couldn’t go another week just doing technique and studies. I had to play something that reminded me why I fell in love with the instrument, with an arrangement of some Samuel Coleridge-Taylor songs courtesy of Amy Harman #bhm

I’m SO excited to tell you that the first episode of the brand new Southbank podcast is out featuring myself and the brilliant Gillian Moore. This is all about exploring classical music through philosophical questions. This week ‘can classical music be funny?’
