He nearly became a professional singer rather than an actor, and his choices include Stanford's Nunc dimittis sung by the choir of Trinity College, Cambridge (in which he sings the bass solo); an aria from Bach's St Matthew Passion, Beethoven's Seventh Symphony and Strauss' Till Eulenspiegel.

Wagner's Siegfried Act I
Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
The third instalment of the Proms Ring Cycle. Christoph Eschenbach conducts a concert performance of the recent Châtelet production of Wagner's Siegfried.
It took Wagner 16 years to complete, but the result is one of his most brilliant and powerful scores in which the young Siegfried discovers his true identity, wins back the all-powerful Ring and falls in love with the Valkyrie Brünnhilde.
Presented by Christopher Cook.

Elisabeth Lutyens (1906-83)
Part One
'Elisabeth Lutyens is an outrageous 76-year-old...' began a London Evening Standard article about the composer's life in 1982. Hyperbole or fair comment? Donald Macleod hunts for the truth about this extraordinary figure in a week of programmes celebrating her centenary, beginning with a look at the complex relationship with her parents which so defined her early career.
