Hannah French plays classical music to start your weekend.

Angela Hewitt joins Hannah to perform at the piano and to reflect on her career as she released her 50th album on the Hyperion label, plus other milestone moments this year.

Plus the continuation of ѿý Radio 3’s 25 for 25: Sounds of the Century – a series of brand new commissions celebrating and commemorating some of the biggest events of the 21st century so far.
