With Iain Burnside.

Iain is joined by consultant surgeon David Melville, to look at music and medicine. The programme includes music by Bach, whose death some attribute to the same doctor who unsuccessfully operated on Handel; Haydn, whose body was snatched and decapitated in the interests of phrenology; and Brahms, a great friend of pioneering surgeon Billroth.
