String fireworks from Attacca Quartet

Tom Service is joined by violinist and director Richard Tognetti, Attacca Quartet play live in the studio and we delve into the musical world of Charlie Chaplin.

Tom Service with guests, stories and the perfect classical soundtrack to start your weekend!

The Grammy Award winning string quartet, Attacca Quartet pop into the studio to play live and chat to Tom about their new album. One of the most versatile and charismatic string groups around today, they talk to Tom about pushing the boundaries: whether it's through collaborations with artists from Caroline Shaw to Billie Eilish, giving virtual appearances in video games or reinterpreting the classics for audiences.

The violinist and artistic director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Richard Tognetti is in town and he chats to Tom about leading the band for over 3 decades, how the southern hemisphere has its own time and space and why he'll always be a benevolent leader...

Charlie Chaplin is one of cinema's great icons - however he's also one of the most undervalued film composers of all time. Chaplin wrote dozens of published songs and composed nearly 900 minutes of film music. He met composers from Rachmaninov to Schoenberg, and when he finally won his first Oscar, for Limelight in 1973, it wasn't for acting or directing, it was for the music - all without any musical training. Conductor Ben Palmer and Chaplin's grandson Spencer Chaplin talk to Tom about the filmmaker's musical legacy and why we should be re-evaluating him as a composer.
