Murray Perahia
Murray Perahia has recorded all 27 of Mozart's piano concertos with the English Chamber Orchestra, whose players he directed from the keyboard. He tells Joan Bakewell about his special affinity with this music and why he decided to conduct these pieces.

From the time that he stowed away on a ship to South America, the music of virtuoso pianist
Isaac Albeniz has always reflected his love for his native country. He met the great musical figures of his day -
Liszt, Debussy and Dukas - and was fascinated by popular culture.
