Private Passions

Professor Robin Wilson

Sunday 9 September 2007 12:00-13:00 (Radio 3)

Michael Berkeley's guest is Robin Wilson, Professor of Mathematics at the Open University and Professor of Geometry at Gresham College, London.

A keen amateur musician, he is particularly interested in the relationship of maths and music, and his choices include some interesting musical puzzles, as well as a chorus from Sullivan's The Golden Legend, an excerpt from Britten's children's opera Noye's Fludde, and the opening Fugue for Tinhorns from Frank Loesser's Guys and Dolls.
