Welcome to Wednesday on The Brew. Our NYC correspondent Tracy Quan's having a 'night' off this week. So, at 12:40, RTL France's Philippe Dova is back with us live from Singapore, playing some classic French songs all about the summer heat. He has just returned from France, which is currently sweating through a historic heat dome that saw parts of the country hit 36°C yesterday - an unseasonal spring scorcher that even shattered records over in London. Finally, it's 'classical' music day at 1:25, as Paul Archibald joins us from Bangkok - where the temperature is a positively refreshing 35°C today - to dive into the wild world of the Russian composer Alexander Scriabin. If you think your life has high drama, wait until you hear his music. This is a man who didn't just write 'big'... he genuinely believed his compositions could trigger a literal cosmic apocalypse!
