Liane Moriarty, Matthew Bourne, Igor Levit
Best-selling novelist Liane Moriarty on her new novel Apples Never Fall and pianist Igor Levit on his new album On DSCH featuring works by Shostakovich and Ronald Stevenson
Liane Moriarty is the best-selling author of nine novels including, Big Little Lies, and Nine Perfect Strangers, both of which have been adapted for television. Her latest novel, Apples Never Fall, is a mystery wrapped up in a domestic drama which focuses on an Australian family shaped by their passion for tennis.
Described as a pianist like no other, Igor Levit describes himself as a citizen and a European before a pianist. He has performed around the world, but when lockdown put a stop to that he took to live-streaming βHouse Concertsβ from his apartment in Berlin. His new album βOn DSCHβ features music by Shostakovich and Ronald Stevenson. He tells John Wilson why he chose music by those composers, and what he learnt from music in lockdown.
Matthew Bourne joins us to discuss his new ballet The Midnight Bell, based on the work of the writer Patrick Hamilton
