Tom Service talks to pianist Leif Ove Andsnes about his Beethoven journey.

Tom Service talks to pianist Leif Ove Andsnes about his multi-season project to play all Beethoven's Piano Concertos, and investigates new approaches to performance anxiety.

Tom Service talks to Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes about his multi-season project to play all Beethoven's Piano Concertos with The Mahler Chamber Orchestra - and how the journey had an unlikely beginning, when Leif heard Beethoven's music piped into a lift in Brazil.

A new film 'A Late Quartet' by Israeli director Yaron Zilberman explores the personal drama behind a fictional string quartet. The film stars Christopher Walken and Philip Seymour Hoffman - but how accurate a portrait is it of life in a quartet? Tom is joined by some real life players who give their verdict.

Performance anxiety is widespread across the spectrum of the music-making world, and in some cases can be career-ending. Tom meets Charlotte Tomlinson, the author of a new book on approaches to performance anxiety, and visits the Royal College of Music in London to see how technology has been used to tackle the problem.

Plus - controversial choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan tells Tom about his new production of Stravinsky's Petrushka, which is set to appear in a double bill alongside The Rite of Spring - which is 100 years old this year.
