Prof Alwyn Lishman
Sunday 14 August 2005 12:00-13:00 (Radio 3)
Michael Berkeley's guest today is the neuropsychiatrist Professor Alwyn Lishman, a distinguished pioneer in the study of cerebral disorders and their effect on human behaviour.
He is particularly interested in how the brain responds to music, and his own musical passions encompass several different genres of keyboard music, from harpsichord music by Rameau and Scarlatti to a Schubert piano sonata and organ works by Bach and Boellmann.
