As I’m a classical musician, music is part of my life. All my stories contain musicians or at least musical references and I thought, ‘Why not give my readers a listening list? so as – to quote one of my music school tutors - “experience two pleasures simultaneously.” He was talking about listening to Wagner while in the bath. Of course you can make that three pleasures if you read a romance at the same time!

To deepen your understanding of the characters, perhaps widen your musical horizons and for general listening pleasure seek out these works mentioned in The Right Chord:
