Discussing romance in music, Suzy Klein is joined by choreographer Siobhan Davies and composer/artist Tom Phillips to talk about Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky.

The fifth in a six-part series of lively conversations examining how and why certain pieces of music make us feel the way they do. In each programme, presenter Suzy Klein and two guests explore a theme such as tragedy, hope or defiance. They champion favourite pieces that evoke the theme and discuss just what it is about the music that pulls these emotional strings. Tonight's theme is romance, with choreographer Siobhan Davies and composer/artist Tom Phillips talking to Suzy about Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky.
