Sean visits celebrated pianist Stephen Hough at his home and in his studio to hear him talk about his passions and a life spent in music.

Sean visits the pianist Stephen Hough at his home and in his studio to talk about his passions and life in music.

Stephen is one of the world's most celebrated pianists - and he's not just a pianist, he's also a successful composer, painter and writer. And it's in London that he makes his home.

He invites Sean into his studio where all these passions collide - a personal sanctuary for his work housing two pianos, works of art still in progress, a library, garden and even the world's most compact gym. They also take a walk round the corner together to Stephen's house to chat about his life on and off the concert stage.
