For the final episode of the season a host of musical big wigs – from Stephen Hough to Steven Isserlis, Errollyn Wallen to Tom Service – phone in to give the boys recommendations for summer reading. Sam also waxes lyrical on the panharmonium, a precursor to the modern synthesiser for which Beethoven wrote his Wellingtons Sieg, whilst Tim speaks to New York-based author Annik LaFarge about her upcoming book, Chasing Chopin: A Musical Journey Across Three Centuries, Four Countries, and a Half-Dozen Revolutions.
