Woman of Action

on BBC Radio 3

Elizabeth Jane Howard , novelist, makes a personal choice of records that trace her musical impressions from childhood. She includes two songs composed by her grandfather Arthur Somervell and recalls how Tchaikovsky's ' Pathérique ' once made her burst into tears. She finds that the most enduring music is by Mozart, Bach, and his son Carl Philipp Emanuel, and above all Searkatti - Like the best poetry he gives one the chance to understand and accept more about life.'
