Private Passions on Radio 3

Private Passions Radio 3Guests from all walks of life discuss their musical loves and hates, and talk about the influence music has had on their lives:

Owen Sheers is a writer who likes to get away from his desk, and he tells Michael about his delight at being Artist in Residence at the Welsh Rugby Union, and about his collaboration with composer Mark Bowden, which took him to Cern’s Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland.

He has chosen music from Haydn’s Creation, one of Bach’s Cello Suites (which features in his first novel), music by Keith Jarrett and a favourite Welsh folk song.
