Race Relationships

Time in and out of Music 'I am greedy for musical experiences and that keeps me off the trail of career experiences. The two cannot go side by side - one kills the other. But time spent out of music is as important as time in music.' Simon Rattle is no ordinary conductor. He recently spent six months away learning German, and reading and travelling around Indonesia. Michael Berkeley talks to the conductor about his career in and around music, and the composers currently in his mind-
Beethoven, Gershwin and Stravinsky.
