43: Reimagining Trevor Horn: a lockdown tribute to “the man who invented the 80s”

This a totally rework of the Trevor Horn episode from 2019. As lockdown looms large over 2020, this is a tribute to his continued vibrancy and prolific workload: the worldwide concerts and ambitious albums produced through the previous year. And it’s updated to include the orchestral album with Rod Stewart and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra which followed “Reimagining the 80s”, an orchestral rework of the best songs by the stars of the decade and later. I was lucky enough to see Trevor in concert with my wife, Karine at the Royal Festival Hall in London during this period of intense work. But this very personal interview will always stand out for me because of his deep connection to both Judaism and our synagogue community of South Hampstead in London. I’m always proud when an interviewee tells me at the end that he or she’s never been asked a question about an aspect of their life. Jewish religious spirituality and community is a big part of Trevor’s being and I’m so delighted how the conversation went. Jonny produces these podcasts for free.
