Vernon Bogdanor
Sunday 29 April 2007 12:00-13:00 (Radio 3)
Michael Berkeley's guest is Vernon Bogdanor, Professor of Government at Oxford University, and a noted commentator on constitutional and political issues.
A passionate music-lover, his choices reflect his love of the piano, with works by Bach, Shostakovich, Beethoven and Schubert, and also an interest in the part music has played in politics, illustrated by an extract from Wagner's Parsifal and Prokofiev's Sixth Symphony.
