BBC Radio 3 - The Listening Service, All the King's Music

Tom Service assesses the history of the post of master of the king's (or queen's) music.

Tom Service assesses the history of the masters of the king's (or queen's) music - a pantheon of 21 names, some brilliant, some average, some really rather forgettable. What have the incumbents done with their time in the post, and how has the role changed in recent years? And how do they compare with their equivalents in literature, the poets laureate?
With literary historian Oliver Tearle.
