Ian McMillan and guests explore the portrayal of classical music in fiction. Ian is joined by novelist Conrad Williams, who has written a book about the competitive, selfish world of the concert pianist where emotional and personal lives have to take second place to the demands of endless rehearsals and spectacular performances.
