Joan Bakewell presents the sixth of eight guides for music lovers and record buyers. This week's contributors include tenor Robert
Tear and choreographer
Siobhan Davies , who compare notes on three recordings of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV565, without knowing who the performers are. Mark-Anthony Turnage talks about the first records that were significant for him, and Petroc Trelawney finds out what record buyers think of studio recordings on CD as opposed to those recorded live.

An eight-part series in which Sir
George Christie , present owner and chairman of Glyndebourne, traces the history of the festival in conversation with James Naughtie. 6: The Haitink/Hall Era
The seventies and the early eighties at Glyndebourne were dominated by Bernard Haitink and Peter Hall , whose series of productions - particularly of the Mozart/Da Ponte operas - made their mark on the house in the same way as those of Fritz Busch and Carl Ebert 40 years before. Sir George Christie looks back on a period when Glyndebourne was riding high artistically and which saw the arrival of two designers who were to leave their own strong stamp - John Bury and David Hockney. Featuring excerpts from Mozart's Don Giovanni , Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail and Cosi Fan Tutte and Monteverdi's 11 Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria, and with contributions from
Bernard Haitink and Sir Peter Hall.
