57. Helen Charlston on her evolving relationship with Schumann’s Dichterliebe, exploring other sides of her artistic identity, and the precarious nature of singing careers

mardi 5 mai 2026 • Durée 39:27

In Episode 57, Ella chats to mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston about her new album 'A Poet's Love', a project in which she explores her artistic identity beyond the baroque repertoire she’s so often associated with. Describing herself as 'a German Romantic at heart', Helen reflects on her long and ever-evolving relationship with Schumann’s Dichterliebe, and her approach to a work of which so many recordings already exist. She also discusses the operatic side of her career and the characters she feels most drawn to, and the realities of navigating illness as a freelance singer.

A Poet's Love is released this Friday 8th May on BIS.

mercredi 29 avril 2026 • Durée 34:33

In Episode 56, Ella chats to pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason about her latest album 'Prokofiev': a project that not only represents her reaching a long-held goal, but is the product of taking time to figure out who she is as an artist, how she functions best and what she needs in order to facilitate that. Isata also reflects on the role her heritage has played in shaping her as a musician, representation in the industry, and how the stillness of the pandemic set her on the path to rediscovering her artistic voice.

55. Michael Beek on celebrating film music, meeting John Williams, and mistakes that live on in print

mercredi 1 avril 2026 • Durée 43:25

In Episode 55, Ella chats with Michael Beek: writer, journalist, and Director of the London Soundtrack Festival. Michael has worked in and around film and TV music for more than twenty years, interviewing some of the industry’s most important composers, writing album sleeve notes for major labels and programme notes for the likes of the BBC Proms and the Royal Albert Hall. He was previously BBC Music Magazine's Reviews Editor and Editor of musicfromthemovies.com. Ahead of his first London Soundtrack Festival - now in its second year - he talks about 'accidentally' building a career from his greatest passion, meeting and interviewing John Williams, the flourishing of film music concerts, and mistakes that still make him cringe many years later...

The London Soundtrack Festival is the capital’s very first festival dedicated to celebrating the music of film, TV and games. Running from 9-12 April, this year's festival takes place in the city's biggest cultural venues - the Barbican, Cadogan Hall, Central Hall Westminster - with a fantastic line-up of talent including David Arnold, Rachel Portman, John Lunn and Julian Nott.
