Arranging the Air

"Arranging the air" - that's how Bernard Haitink described the role of the conductor to Martin Handley - about as ephemeral as it gets!
In this four-part series, Martin aims to demystify, explain, and enter a world of musical magic with the help of some of today's great protagonists: Jakub Hrusa, Dalia Stasevska, Mark Wigglesworth, Sofi Jeannin, Harry Christophers, Sian Edwards, Trevor Pinnock, and the 99-year old (and still working) Herbert Blomstedt. There'll also be archive material from the late, great Bernard Haitink.
