I'm very well, thank you.
Well, since we were last together, I've done various shows, more of these shows about great figures of the past, including Byron again and Bach.
And this year has been, to a great extent, getting ready for this particular show that's coming up.
It's a very, very big show.
It's at Opera Holland Park.
Opera Holland Park in London?
In London.
It's on the 13th to the 15th of August.
And it's a great big spectacle of the life of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, which is a really extraordinary life.
He's agreed to be on the show today.
Yes, he has, extraordinarily.
And it's rather unusual in that it's a play knitted together with a concert of his music.
So at these salient sort of emotional moments, the music comes swelling out and takes over, which is...
very, very moving and powerful.
This is what you like to do with these shows of yours.
Well, I think you can't have a real picture of a composer's life if you don't see how the music inheres in it somehow.
And that at the right moment, contextualising the music makes it mean more.
And you understand more the power of what is inside that music.
And I think if people want to approach classical music...
you have to show them how much is buried within it and how much can be sucked out of it because it is so dense and powerful.
