Michael Berkeley's guest is Fergal Keane, one of the BBC's most distinguished journalists. Over the course of his career he has filed reports from some of the world's most dangerous troublespots, including Rwanda and Bosnia during the genocidal years.
Some of his musical choices reflect his Irish background, while others reveal a love of piano music, oratorio and opera.
