'BBCTV's pin-up conductor and Radio 3's resident interpretative guru.' Daily Telegraph 
 
Charles maintains a central position in Radio 3's output, conducting and presenting Discovering Music (Sunday afternoons, 5pm), where he uses his unique hands-on approach to reveal the inner workings of great orchestral music, with the BBC orchestras and his own two bands Excellent Device! and Army of Generals.
 
'Charles Hazlewood's Discovering Music (is) terrific.'  The Observer
 
Charles continues to host The Charles Hazlewood Show from his Somerset farm. Winner of 3 Sony Awards, these sessions are  a great opportunity for him to share his extraordinarily diverse musical tastes: you'll find him jamming with The Guillemots, banging on about the virtues of Mozart wind serenades, deconstructing Radiohead or explaining fugue in the context of a Prodigy track.
 
'Our eponymous hero continues his quest to play classical and popular, from Messiaen to Killing Joke and Stravinsky to Steve Harley, connecting his reliably interesting and diverse selections almost spuriously as he goes.'   Time Out
 
'What Heston Blumenthal is to food, Charles Hazlewood is to music'.    The Guardian
