Michael Berkeley's guest today is the Italia Prize-winning radio producer Piers Plowright. While working for Radio 3 in the 1980s he commissioned incidental music from Michael Berkeley for productions of Chaucer and Langland, including what has become the signature tune to Private Passions. His feature-making took him all over the world and this is reflected in his choice of music, which includes part of a Spanish requiem, a Sardinian shepherds' love song, Count Basie, Solomon playing a Beethoven sonata, and the street cry of a Japanese rice-wine seller.
