Today Michael Berkeley talks to Dame Fiona Reynolds, Director of the National Trust. She is a keen string
player, and her choices reflect her love of music for string ensemble, from Bach's Third Brandenburg Concerto
and Elgar's majestic Introduction and Allegro to a quartet by Smetana and Mozart's charming Sinfonia concertante for violin and viola. There's also a Shostakovich piano concerto, part of Janacek's opera 'Katya Kabanova', and 'The Salutation' from Finzi's cantata 'Dies natalis'.
