Description: "Music is my first language, more so than words... If I've had a beautiful experience, I'll tell it to the piano, and then I'll share it with other people." Composer Isobel Waller-Bridge talks about her early musical life learning the piano, discovering the music of Rachmaninov, Janáček and Poulenc, and her approach to composing. You can hear the premiere of her piece Temperatures, commissioned for our series Human / Nature: Music for a Precious Planet, at the Southbank Centre on Thursday 28 November.
