Writer, broadcaster and composer Stephen Johnson joins Lucy Walker for a conversation about music, mental health, and the remarkable emotional impact certain works can have.
Stephen’s recent books include How Shostakovich Changed my Mind, a very personal response to Shostakovich’s works, and The Eighth, a study of Mahler’s Eighth Symphony, and the world from which it emerged. Join in for a wide-ranging and fascinating discussion – plus, what our contributors have been listening to recently.
