In todav's selection of records Jeremy Siepmann looks at the occupational side of life with the help of a barber (from

The art of salesmanship is given new meaning by Orlando Gibbons: Mozart and Stravinsky visit highly contrasting entrepreneurs and the programme ends in a bucolic vein with a performance of Bach's Peasant Cantata.
