Michael Berkeley's guest is William Fiennes, award-winning author of The Snow Geese, whose latest book, The Music Room, is about his family and their ancestral home in Oxfordshire. A passionate music-lover, William's choices range from piano pieces by Bach, Schubert and Shostakovich to chamber music by Beethoven and Messiaen as well as a Bruckner motet and songs by Bob Dylan and Radiohead.
