Tori Amos
Sunday 12 November 2006 12:00-13:00 (Radio 3)
Michael Berkeley's guest is the American singer and songwriter Tori Amos, who has just released a new album.
A classically-trained pianist from a strict Methodist background, her own music explores many fascinating themes, including the role of women in religion. Her musical choices reveal the strong influence of keyboard music and range from Bach and Beethoven to Rachmaninov and Prokofiev.
