Many of you, my friends, would be familiar with the BBC radio program Desert Island Discs, yes?
The premise being that you imagine yourself cast away on a desert island and choose eight audio recordings (including specific performances) you would like to take with you.
Here are mine:
Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life
Steve Miller Band: A Journey from Eden
Gershwin: Porgy and Bess - Cleo Laine and Ray Charles
We Get Requests - Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Ed Thigpen
Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 - Ferenc Fricsay conducting the BPO
Vaughan Williams: Tallis Fantasia - Sir John Barbirolli conducting The Sinfonia of London
Vivaldi: Gloria in D - Kings College Choir Cambridge
Schubert: Lieder on texts of Goethe - Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
What would be yours?
