Virtuosity - 2018 Proms Special - a podcast by BBC Radio 3

What does it mean to be good? If you're a virtuoso pianist, violinist, cellist, does that mean you can play faster than everybody else - or better? What does it mean to be a virtuoso? Are you in league with the devil, as 19th-century critics said about the violinist Paganini, or are you able to communicate more movingly, more emotionally, more humanly than other players?
In association with Prom 3 2018 - BBC Young Musician 40th Anniversary
