Claire thinks about musical friendships as she explains how a tiny music box became part of a work by her late friend Oliver Knussen, and reveals how she was calmed by the music of Corelli in an opera house dressing room.
At 2pm Claire brings us her Must Listen piece with the perfectly balanced pairing of Gil Shaham and Pierre Boulez, who bring out the romanticism of Bartok.
