Exploring the theme of glory, composer Anna Meredith and conductor Nicholas Collon talk to Suzy Klein about the music of Handel, Sibelius and Messiaen.

The first in a six-part series of lively conversations examining how and why certain pieces of music make us feel the way they do. In each programme, presenter Suzy Klein and two guests explore a theme such as tragedy, glory or romance. They champion favourite pieces that evoke the theme and discuss just what it is about the music that pulls these emotional strings. Tonight's theme is glory, with composer Anna Meredith and Aurora Orchestra's principal conductor Nicholas Collon talking to Suzy about Handel, Sibelius and Messiaen.
