Petroc Trelawny investigates the place of classical music in fiction and why it appeals to authors from Louis de Bernieres to Rose Tremain. Novelist Ian McEwan has written his first libretto for composer Michael Berkeley and both composer and librettist talk together about their collaboration, For You. Plus a look at the world of philanthropy, asking how much does the classical music world rely on the charitable donations of the super-rich.
