Coming from the basement of an architectural museum in Aachen, this week I chat with the principal flute of The Royal Antwerp Symphony, Aldo Baerten.
Aldo’s had a truly international career, and today he tells me all about how he chose his gold Powell, the acoustical differences of European concert halls and the importance of the European Union for music.
