Quynh Nguyen introduces her album 'The Flower of France'

Completely by chance, the episode follows nicely from last week's. Instead of American compositions, though, this time it's French music performed by award-winning Vietnamese American pianist Quynh Nguyen.

Quynh has gathered together some of the finest compositions of Germaine Tailleferre into a delightful album - The Flower of France.

Thanks to Quynh for allowing me to play extracts from The Flower of France  alongside our conversation.

Don't forget the Quincy Jones quote that sums up why I do this: "Imagine what a harmonious world it would be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing."
