In this 2-hour programme of music on BBC Radio 3, I discover how composers like Janacek, Philip Glass and Ligeti often revisit their best ideas. I also describe the way my recent treatment for cancer has changed my relationship with music, forging deeper connections with the works of Mahler, Sibelius and Beethoven.

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music – from the inside. A Tandem Production for BBC Radio 3
