Sarah's guest this week is the award-winning actress Zo毛 Wanamaker. Zo毛 is best known for her roles in the 大象传媒 series My Family, which ran for eleven series, and as Madam Hooch in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Zo毛 was immersed in the world of acting from a young age: her mother was an actress and radio star and her father was Sam Wanamaker, who drove the reconstruction of Shakespeare's Globe on London's South Bank. Zo毛 was the first person to perform on the stage when it was opened by Queen Elizabeth II, and was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company in the '70s and '80s. As well as discussing her life's work, Zo毛 shares her passion for classical music, choosing a selection of her favourite works by composers including Verdi, Malcolm Arnold and Clara Schumann.
10.30am
Music on Location: King's College, Cambridge
In a new feature, Sarah explores music connected with a specific location, beginning with the impressive chapel of King's College, Cambridge, for which Herbert Howells wrote his 'Collegium Regale' Service.
11am
Sarah's Artist of the Week is the Cuban-born American pianist, Jorge Bolet. Born in Havana in 1914, he was praised in particular for his interpretations of Liszt, and his recorded legacy mainly focuses on the Romantic tradition. His career was unusual in that he did not achieve international recognition until he was in his sixties. Bolet championed pieces that were out of fashion at the time, such as the piano music of Franck and Godowsky's fiendishly difficult arrangements of Chopin's Etudes, both of which feature this week on Essential Classics, as well as his recordings of Debussy's Preludes, works by Liszt and Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto, where Bolet is joined by the London Symphony Orchestra and conductor Ivan Fischer.
