From Frank Sinatra to Round the Horne. Opera singer Maria Ewing shares her castaway choices.
Renowned for her acting ability as much as her voice -Maria portrayed Carmen as witty, clever and very very dangerous. Her Sheherazade was sexy. While as Salome she brought the audience to the edge of their seats as the last of the seven veils revealed her naked beneath.
In conversation with Sue Lawley, she talks about her life and work and chooses eight records to take to the mythical island.
First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in February 1999.
