Sunday 29 May 2005 12:00-13:00 (Radio 3)
Michael Berkeley's guest this week is the broadcaster Humphrey Burton, who is currently presenting Bernstein Week on Radio 3. Bernstein is just one of his many enthusiasms, and over the course of a distinguished career in radio and television he has made many flagship arts programmes, with a particular focus on music. His personal choices range from Mozart, Schubert and Verdi to Poulenc, Milhaud and Gershwin.
