Richard E. Grant
Actor and director Richard E. Grant brings you an exciting new series on Classic FM, dedicated to great partnerships in Classical music.
Richard has performed and directed for the stage, but his big break came with the 1986 cult classic ‘Withnail and I’. Since then, Richard has appeared in 34 films and worked with some of America's greatest directors including Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese.
A Classic FM listener, Richard discovered a love for classical music at the tender age of eight, when he says;"My parents had a large classical music record collection and played a lot of Beethoven. The loud and dramatic sections were perfect for a revved up 8 year old to identify with. I was taken to see AIDA in Rome when I was 12 and have been an opera lover ever since."
Don’t miss the first episode of Great Partnerships on Classic FM, from 5pm on Sunday 11 October.
