Former punk-rocker Charles Hazlewood is the BBC’s new “face of classical music,” and he takes a particularly populist approach to his shows: “There is a terrible conservatism, like a cancer, right in the heartlands of music-making, a tremendous resistance to change, an absolute horror of the idea that more people might connect with music. That infuriates me more than I can say. The very idea that people are too stupid to get their heads round what a fugue is is beyond me. I think it’s total bollocks and it drives me mad.”
