The Listening Service - A podcast by BBC Radio 3 - Domenica

How can music make us cry? Why does our favourite piece give us the shivers? And why, when we're feeling down, do we enjoy nothing more than a good wallow in sad music? Is it something in the music - or something in ourselves? From Schubert to Stravinsky and Mahler to Miley Cyrus - Tom Service is joined by music psychology expert Dr Victoria Williamson to investigate how music can tug on our heartstrings like nothing else. Rethink music, with The Listening Service.
