Private Passions

December 8th, 2007 by Russell Davies

Here’s another tasty slice from the hard drive cake; Stephen Fry sharing his musical favourites on Radio 3’s Private Passions. Predictably his selections are informed, eclectic and uplifting, almost entirely cheerful stuff, and all the more moving for that. And I suspect this is the first time that Herb Alpert and his Tijuana Brass have been heard on Radio 3. (MP3 here)

Presenter: Michael Berekely

    When I’m listening to Desert Island Discs, I get frustrated because we’re not allowed to hear the whole piece of music and now I learn that when I’m allowed to hear the whole piece of music as in Private Passions, I just want to get back to the interview!
