Christian Blackshaw, Edward Watson

Presented by Sean Rafferty. With Christian Blackshaw performing Mozart in the studio, plus Royal Ballet principal Edward Watson discussing the company's Romeo and Juliet.

Presented by Sean Rafferty.

Pianist Christian Blackshaw's playing has been hailed for its "sheer musicality and humanity" - he talks to Sean and performs Mozart live in the studio ahead of a complete survey of Mozart Piano Sonatas set to run over the next two years at London's Wigmore Hall.

Prokofiev's ever-popular ballet Romeo and Juliet is set to open at the Royal Opera House featuring an all-star cast. Legendary choreographer Kenneth MacMillan's seminal production was first performed by the Royal Ballet 46 years ago, and Principal dancer Edward Watson joins Sean to talk about the production.
