One of classical music's great friendships ended abruptly in 1915, when, with the world at war, Alexander Scriabin died at just 43.

Robert Spano has been at the helm of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for 19 years, and has indelibly left his mark on both the orchestra and the musical life of the city in that time. We asked him about what changes he's seen, the process of recording and the importance of working with living composers.

Since winning the coveted BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2002 at the age of 12, Jennifer Pike has been making music of virtuosity, curiosity and verve. Her recent release on Chandos 'The Polish Violin' sees her exploring her heritage, and that of the violin amongst Polish composers. We asked Jennifer about the experiences and discoveries which contributed to the album.
