Mike Banks , polar explorer, mountaineer and author, declares. ' I always feel I'm getting the most out of life when I'm successful in harmonising the physical and the intellectual. Life shouldn't be all Beethoven or all sweat, but one does set the other off most effectively.
His personal choice of records includes Walton's battle music for the film Henry V, a chorus from Puccini's La fanciulla del west. a movement from the Sinfonia Antartica by Vaughan Williams , and the chanting of mantras from the Nirvana Symphony by Toshiro Mayuzumi.
