Composer Ben Salisbury has also worked with Sir David on multiple projects – including documentaries and live concerts.
“He’s very, very educated about music,” Salisbury, who studied at Bournemouth University, explained.
“For example, the title music I did for Life in the Undergrowth was was something he particularly liked.”
“He came up to me and said ‘I’m very impressed Ben that you were inspired obviously by Schoenberg’s early string quartets’ and I had to say ‘oh yes, David’.”
“But in the back of my mind I’m thinking ‘I don’t think i’ve ever heard Schoenberg’s early string quartets’.”
“Getting to hang out with Sir David a bit was always a real treat,” he added.
