BBC Music December 2023

Hello and welcome to another year with BBC Music Magazine!

This month's cover star is the captivating Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu, who tells Christopher Cook how she is marking 100 years since the death of her beloved Puccini in suitably songful style.

Elsewhere, writer, broadcaster and Vaughan WIlliams expert Andrew Green tells the remarkable tale of how a certain wealthy 1920s mover and shaker may have helped RVW's masterpiece The Lark Ascending to take flight.
