What’s one piece of classical music you would with a friend, and why? 🎶

Richard Armitage chose Mahler’s Adagietto from his Fifth Symphony as his One Piece Why with Dan Walker - a piece immortalised in Luchino Visconti’s 1971 film, ‘Death in Venice’.

This weekend, he’ll be sharing even more of his favourite music as he takes the reins on Classic FM at the Movies, sharing some of his favourite film music, including ‘Amélie’, ‘Gladiator’, ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and, of course… plenty of hobbits.

📻 Classic FM at the Movies with Richard Armitage | Friday 7 and Saturday 8 August, 6-8pm

One of the best nights I've had in the theatre, insane vocals, incredible choreography, electrifying storytelling ... I'm rinsed through, I've never experienced two standing ovations mid- performance. Jaw dropping. Sam Ryder ... I'm a disciple. 🙌
