My favourite... rondos. Rob shares his favourite rondos, a musical form which is characterised by a recurring theme, with examples ranging from Beethoven's madcap Rage Over A Lost Penny and Saint-Sa毛ns's show-stopping Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso to the more reflective Rondo in A minor, K.511 by Mozart and evergreen examples by Schubert and Dvorak. The line-up features performances by Mitsuko Uchida, Paul Tortelier, Gidon Kremer, Valentina Lisitsa and Jascha Heifetz.

He recently won the CWA's Diamond Dagger for a writer of an outstanding body of crime fiction.

Rob's artist of the week is Vladimir Horowitz, a pianist who could make a piano sound like an orchestra. Rob delves into the archives of this internationally renowned pianist, sharing recordings including his performance of Chopin's Funeral March Sonata, Faur茅's crystalline and plangent Nocturne No.13, Liszt's foreboding portrayal of Oberman's Valley from his Ann茅es de P茅l猫rinage, and his virtuosic treatment of melodies from Bizet's Carmen.
