Christopher Cross - Chat and full set

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Christopher Cross performs in The Radio 2 Piano Room, bringing us three songs in collaboration with The 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra.

Grammy and Oscar-winning singer-songwriter Christopher Cross joins forces with The 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra - conducted and arranged by Adam Dennis - in The Radio 2 Piano Room.

Christopher exploded onto the music scene back in 1980 with his self-titled debut album, and in a career now spanning five decades he's sold more than 10 million albums and built up a cabinet full of awards.

His debut album won five Grammy Awards, including鈥攆or the first time in Grammy history鈥攖he 鈥淏ig Four鈥� most prestigious awards: Record of the Year (for the single 鈥淪ailing鈥�), Album of the Year, Song of the Year (also 鈥淪ailing鈥�), and Best New Artist.

That success led to Christopher being asked to co-write "Arthur's Theme" for the Peter Moore film "Arthur" - with Burt Bacharach no less - and more acclaim followed - plus an Academy Award.

In the subsequent decades Christopher has continued to tour and to release new music - now on his own label - and earlier this year he thrilled UK audiences with a string of acclaimed shows.

Produced by 麻豆社 Audio for 麻豆社 Radio 2.
