Conductor Nathalie Stutzmann on going big with Bruckner

Tom Service with guests, stories and the perfect classical soundtrack for the weekend!

Tom meets conductor and singer Nathalie Stutzmann to talk about recording Bruckner's massive 4th Symphony. Remarkably, her new Bruckner recording is the first time a woman has recorded the piece with a major US orchestra. Described as "a genius who makes the music irresistible", Nathalie chats to Tom about straddling her many musical worlds, from Bruckner and Bach to Wagner's operas, why she believes in being a risky conductor and the music she fell in love with as a child.

Tom talks to the experimental musical duo KOGG: AKA composers Selena Kay and Cerys Hogg. Both formally trained - Selena has her roots in contemporary classical composition and Cerys in jazz improvisation - their new album Mechanista is built from everyday objects that they construct into electronic instruments: spanners, toy whistles, brass, elastic bands and broken piano keys. They talk about blending composition, DIY sound invention and playfulness in their music.
