Episode 63 - Kerem Hasan

Sometimes you chat with someone and very quickly realise that it is going to be a very interesting conversation! Kerem Hasan is a conductor who is really going places and it is not hard to see why. We discussed our mental attitudes towards conducting, I found out that he was taught in a very unusual way whilst studying in Weimar, and I get to tell a story about a famous conductor conducting a motorbike!
