Janet Baker
Dame Janet Baker first appeared on the concert platform in 1956 and quickly became established as one of the finest singers Britain has ever produced, enjoying success both in opera and on the recital stage. Today she talks to Joan Bakewell about her
Yorkshire childhood and the beginnings of her career, and the programme explores qualities of artistry and integrity that have been the hallmarks of her work. With music by Gluck, Purcell and Bach. Producer Lyndon Jones
