Janet Baker , who retired some ten years ago. He includes excerpts from her legendary recordings of Mahler underthe inspired baton of John Barbirolli and explores her time with Benjamin Britten at the Aldeburgh Festival, which she described as the lodestone of her career, although she found it "extremely irritating and at times a bit suffocating." Producer Clive Portbury
