Twice a month, James Vernon presents a selection of classical music. On the second Thursday of each month, a selection of mostly instrumental works is presented, sometimes focusing on a particular composer, other times on a particular relevant theme. On the fourth Thursday of each month, a full work is selected from the world of opera. James has many musical passions, of which classical is only one. He aims to make the listening more interesting by researching the history of the work and presenting a concise introduction, enabling you to listen to the work in its historical context.
