Private Passions

on BBC Radio 3

Michael Berkeley 's guest this week is Frances Partridge , who, at the age of 98, is the last living member of the Bloomsbury Group of writers, artists and intellectuals, characterised by Dorothy Parker as "couples who are really triangles and live in squares". Partridge herself was at the centre of a celebrated romantic melee involving Lytton Strachey , the ill-fated Dora Carrington and her future husband Ralph Partridge - a situation only resolved after the tragic deaths of Strachey and Carrington. Music has always been central to Frances Partridge 's life, and today she reveals some of her own particular favourites.
Executive producer Wendy Thompson Repeated tomorrow 6.30pm
