"YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD MAKE CLASSICAL MUSIC INFINITELY BETTER? MIKHAIL GORBACHEV." We know you've been thinking this for ages and quite frankly we agree with you. In this marvellous new episode of That Classical Podcast, we head back over to Mother Russia to discuss things like bus stop graves, weirdly tonk chicken legs and, naturally, Gorbachev's foray into classical music. Enjoy!
