Conductor Sakari Oramo on music and making magic

Tom Service with guests, stories and the perfect classical soundtrack for the weekend!

Tom's guest is Finnish conductor Sakari Oramo, chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Fresh from conducting this year's Last Night of the Proms, Sakari chats about his journey to conducting, the music that truly excites him and how to bring the worlds of British and Finnish classical music together.

Plus - want to be a conductor like Sakari? A new video game, 'Maestro', gives players the chance to conduct an orchestra from their sofa. Tom tries it out and speaks to the designers' in-house conductor Gena Liévano about how you make the musical gameplay experience real.
