Dr George Steiner , author and Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Geneva University, says that though he is someone who lives with, and by. words he needs music perhaps most of all. Among the records he has chosen are SOLTI conducting Mahler, ROGATCHEWSKY singing Wagner, the AMADEUS QUARTET playing Schubert, part of Couperin's Leçons des Ténèbres and ' the incomparable EDITH PIAF.
