David Arnold and Anna Lapwood kick off a new playlist
Composer David Arnold and organist Anna Lapwood help choose the first five tracks of the new playlist.
Cerys Matthews and Jeffrey Boakye return to the studio to start a whole new playlist in the company of the film and TV composer David Arnold, who's written scores for five James Bond films, and the organist Anna Lapwood, Director of Music at Pembroke College, Cambridge.
This new playlist takes us back to Mexico in the 19th century and to a famously dystopian landscape populated by robots.
