As the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms begin, Clemency Burton-Hill returns for a special one-off edition, mixing a classical playlist for author, podcaster and presenter of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4's Open Book, Elizabeth Day, who first appeared on the podcast back in 2018. They discuss choral music, contralto voices and how it was the music of Max Richter that Clemmie turned to when she suffered a serious brain injury in 2020.

Francis Poulenc - Melancolie
Eleanor Daley - Upon Your Heart
