Show Notes

'The sweets left at the bottom of the box'

In this bumper Christmas episode, JJ and Haz explore festive pieces that often get overlooked while reflecting on premature descants, Ukranian nationalism, an orchestral musician's essential kit and the perils of pizzicato. The stave to be braved this time is the ballet score to Tchaikovsky's 'The Nutcracker', but expect the unexpected!
