David to feature on BBC Radio 3

This Sunday 22 August David will appear on BBC Radio 3′s Private Passions show. Here’s the blurb:

David Hyde Pierce is both an Anglophile and a great lover of music – he originally hoped to be a concert pianist. He tells Michael Berkeley that he has compiled a list of music in homage to England, beginning with the Overture to HMS Pinafore, a show which he directed as a student. His love of the English cathedral tradition is reflected in Parry’s anthem I Was Glad and his final choice, Louis Vierne’s Carillon de Westminster, for organ. There’s also Rosalyn Tureck playing Bach and David’s friend Stephen Hough playing a Mendelssohn piano concerto, as well as an extract from Berlioz’s Beatrice et Benedict, conducted by Sir Colin Davis, in which David himself acted.

Tune in from 12-1pm!
