Happy Wednesday. Off we go with another Brew. NYC correspondent Tracy Quan will be with you for all the news live from the Big Apple, at 12:10. At 12:40, RTL France's Philippe Dova joins us from Singapore for our weekly slice of Frenchness. Then at 1:25, 'classical' music day kicks in, with our friend Paul Archibald. Live from Bangkok, today Paul wants to introduce you to an amazing composer who is "unmistakably Russian, without the angst of Shostakovich or the ‘wrong notes’ of Prokofiev"... well, that's what he said! Stay with us to find out more.
