Carolyn Sampson<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is an English soprano who began her career in early music (Bach and before), working with some of the world’s best-known specialists in historically informed performance. These days, she is just as likely to be heard singing Mahler. She talks about her developing career in a conversation recorded at this year’s Australian Festival of Chamber Music.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also from the Festival, the fearless Australian-born, London-based pianist Joseph Havlat<\/strong><\/a>. He enjoys the challenge of new music and the more virtuosic the better. But he is also a composer, his music defying categorisation, veering between the deeply serious and hilariously funny – sometimes in the same piece. He talks to Andrew Ford about his playing and composing, and how they intersect.<\/p>\n
