Private PassionsKaren Armstrong
Sunday 20 March 2005 12:00-13:00 (Radio 3)
Another chance to hear outstanding editions from the past decade as Private Passions celebrates its 10th anniversary.
Karen Armstrong left the cloister to become one of our most thoughtful commentators on religious affairs, and is an expert on both Christianity and Islam. This programme, first broadcast in 2000, reveals her love of a wide range of music, from Gregorian chant to Purcell, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Bob Dylan. Duration:1 hour |
