What is a typical week when you're one the country's busier solo baritones but also a composer and arranger? Follow Roderick Williams as he gives a recital here, interview there, listens to young singers, stands in front of choirs for that Fauré Requiem - but also tries to write a flute concerto. Glorious chats en route with Gareth Malone, Julia Doyle/Donk, Andrew Manze, Martyn Brabbins, Carolyn Sampson and Gregory Batsleer. Will it ever stop?
