Contemporary classical music is cool again. One of the finest pianists in the world, Nils Frahm, joins Mary Anne.

Frahm is a German musician and composer based in Berlin. During his childhood he was taught to play by Nahum Brodski, a student of the last scholar of Tchaikovsky. Today he realises heartbreaking, beautiful piano and synth pieces on the Erased Tapes labels.

Elsewhere, expect massive tunes from Mary Anne's record bag.
