Michael Berkeley talks to the journalist and broadcaster Jon Snow, who has recently published an autobiography, Shooting History, based on his experiences as a foreign correspondent.
He started off as a Winchester Cathedral chorister, and many of his choices reflect his early musical training, with sacred works by Bach, Rossini, Mozart, Beethoven and Herbert Howells, as well as music by Poulenc, Prokofiev and Schumann.
