Conductor Paavo Jarvi joins Tom in the studio

Tom Service talks to the conductor Paavo J盲rvi and plays the perfect classical soundtrack for Saturday morning, from well-known classics to musical gems and a few surprises.

Paavo J盲rvi is one of today鈥檚 most sough after conductors, and has close partnerships with the finest orchestras around the world, and he talks to Tom about where he sees conducting today, what are the non-negotiables for a great conductor and why smiling through a tragic symphony is a bad idea for any aspiring student.

He's also a figurehead for Estonian classical music - he founded the P盲rnu Music Festival and the Estonian Festival Orchestra, and he talks candidly to Tom about why the cultural heart of Estonia is more precious than ever in an unstable world.

And after 11am, with only days until the Opening Ceremony we look forward to music of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Tom chats to composer Victor Le Masne, the musical director of the Games and composer of the four Ceremonies, about the responsibility of composing for the Olympics and how he's incorporating his beloved Paris into the music. Plus Dr Alexis Belis from The Met in New York takes us back to the very first Olympics, to explain how music played its part in the Games in Ancient Greece.
