One of Belgium’s most-visited cities, Bruges, also has a rich musical life (as well as being the setting for Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s opera Die tote Stadt!). For the latest Gramophone podcast, Editor in Chief James Jolly went to the city to talk to some of the movers and shakers of Bruges’s music scene and experience a handful of concerts in some striking settings.

As well as meeting Tomas Bisschop, Director of the MA Festival and the Early Music Programme Coordinator at Bruges’s Concertgebouw, Albert Edelman, James talked to the keyboard-player and conductor Jos van Immerseel and the city’s carillonneur, Frank Deleu.
