Private Passions

Antony Beevor

Sunday 10 October 2004 12:00-13:00 (Radio 3)

Michael Berkeley's guest today is the historian Antony Beevor, author of best-selling books about the battle of Stalingrad and the fall of Berlin, and most recently, the story of Hitler's favourite actress, Olga Chekhova. His musical enthusiasms range from baroque music by Corelli, Vivaldi and Manfredini through Mozart and Brahms to a symphony by a little-known Soviet composer.

Duration:

1 hour
