The Full Works Concert - Monday 22 September, 8pm

Tonight's Concert is all about the friendships that had an impact on the development of music.

On the 20th anniversary of the premiere of the legendary American sitcom Friends, Jane Jones takes a look at important musical friendships. The pairings include Bruch and Brahms; Wagner and Liszt; Vaughan Williams and Holst (pictured); and Haydn and Mozart

We’ll hear how they influenced each other’s music – and find out why Liszt didn’t want his good friend Wagner to marry his daughter.
