Michael Berkeley 's guest is Sir Roy Strong , a former director of the Victoria and Albert Museum and now a respected writer on various aspects of cultural history, including The Story of Britain. Purcell's homage to this country, Fairest Isle, is just one of Strong's passions, which also include music by Eigar, Tchaikovsky and Johann (son) and Richard Strauss , and two great romantic movements from
Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet and Puccini's La Boheme.
