In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I believe it was Gustav Holst's Jupiter from Die Planeten, from the kinetic opening to the resigned, majestic adagio. Second to that would be Elgar's Nimrod (probably my favorite piece of music). John Barry's Born Free was my favorite TV theme. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why?

"What the ice takes, the ice keeps." — Ernest Shackleton What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
