Man of Action

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Roy Strong. Director of the National Portrait Gallery, presents a personal sequence of gramophone records.
His lifelong interest in 17th and 18th-century England is illustrated with music by Campian, Purcell, and Down-land's Lachrimae played by THURSTON DART and the PHILO-MUSICA. And another partly visual interest, that of theatre music, with opera by Verdi, ballet by Tchaikovsky and Klgar, and musical comedy by Ivor Novello.
