BBC Radio 3 - Private Passions, Helen Ghosh

National Trust director-general Helen Ghosh shows Michael Berkeley around the childhood home of Vaughan Williams, introducing his music, plus Britten, Mozart, Schubert and Ravel.

National Trust Director General Helen Ghosh takes Michael Berkeley on a tour of Leith Hill Place, now a National Trust property but once the childhood home of Ralph Vaughan Williams.

She chooses his Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, as well as music by Britten, Mozart and Schubert. And her choice of Ravel reveals the alternative career she almost had - as a ballet dancer.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
