I grew up almost without music. Neither of my parents was musical. Mum listened to mostly news and current affairs on the radio. And for the gramophone, there were only eight LPs and a set of Learn Italian.

I discovered classical music when, at 17, I met an 18-year-old classical trumpet player and budding composer. Through him I heard Mozart, Vivaldi, Stravinsky and a host of other brilliant composers. I fell in love with classical music. Alan gave me my first orgasm and many thereafter. What an intoxicating mix!
