It is my great pleasure to cross over the pond to the UK for today’s episode and feature the lovely Tasmin Little.
Tasmin has performed on every continent in some of the most prestigious venues of the world, including Carnegie Hall, Musikverein, Concertgebouw, Philharmonie Berlin, Vienna Konzerthaus, South Bank Centre, Barbican Centre and Royal Albert Hall, Lincoln Center and Suntory Hall.

What a wonderful and delicious presentation. Thank you, Tasmin. I’m a big Delius fan, and so double thanks for your beautiful recordings of
the sonatas and concerto. And I recommend your two-part video on YouTube called Delius The Lost Child, about his child in Florida whom he was separated from.
