Music Matters

10 July 2005

After 40 years as one of Britain's most highly regarded string quartets, the Lindsays are coming to the end of their final season together. Among their achievements are recordings of complete cycles of the Beethoven and Bartók quartets, together with revitalising the musical life of their adopted city of Sheffield. Tom Service talks to the members of the quartet in their final major broadcast interview.

Solihull born conductor Jonathan Nott has also revolutionised music making in his adopted home town, Bamberg, in Germany. He's an unfamiliar figure in the UK, but he brings his Bamberg Symphony Orchestra to the Edinburgh Festival next month and talks to Tom about its eclectic programming and renewed vitality.
