    Key Changes: Radio 3's Essential History of Classical Music

    1772. The remote court of Esterháza. Haydn expands the possibilities of the symphony.

Tom Service with guests, stories and the perfect classical soundtrack for the weekend! Today's episode features three musicians who all appear at this year's Proms season. Olivier Latry talks to Tom about Bach, the mighty organ of Notre Dame and how he feels to be returning to the Royal Albert Hall organ for his forthcoming Prom, which focuses on the art of transcription. Radio 3 presenter and saxophonist extraordinaire Jess Gillam reveals why she's so excited to be involved with "Choirs on the Concourse" in Gateshead, as part of the BBC Proms in the North East. And in his ongoing series, Tom meets another Creator, as Mark-Anthony Turnage explains the process of adapting an orchestral suite from his hit 2025 opera Festen - the suite will be premiered at this year's Proms on 28th July.
