Welcome to the latest edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast; your chance to catch up on anything you may have missed during the week.
We’ll be hearing from the Russian conductor, Valery Gergiev, who’s in the UK, celebrating works for the theatre by Shostakovich; the young American violinist, Hilary Hahn, tells us about her musical heroes; and Classic FM’s resident GP, Rob Hicks, tells us how to keep our cool when temperatures soar.
