How ironic :p

Re: Desert Island Discs
 

Used to quite like DIDs when Sue Lawley did it... the sound of lazy Sunday mornings before the Archers omnibus spurred me into action to turn the radio off and get on with something more useful. So I'm a sad enough git to have my list ready...

1. Mozart's Requiem - specifically, the Tuba Mirum sung by Robert Lloyd with the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields under Neville Mariner - moves me to tears nearly every time I hear it
2. Chopin - any compilation of Etudes, Nocturnes and Polonaises played by Maurizio Pollini
3. Ben Folds Five - Kate (from Whatever And Ever Amen)
4. Dave Brubeck Quartet - Unsquare Dance (from Time Out: Time Further Out)
5. Duke Ellington & Johnny Hodges - Basin St Blues (from Back to Back)
6. Ella Fitzgerald - One for my Baby... (from The Intimate Ella)
7. Handel - Dixit Dominus
8. Mahler - symphony number 5

Of those, I'd keep the Ben Folds Five - for sentimental reasons and in case OH (whose name you may be able to guess...) ever reads this post

For my book, I'd have Proust - if only because it's got lots of pages that I could use to write messages on if I ever found a stash of bottles...

Luxury item I think would have to be a piano with a decent supply of sheet music - I can't cope with more than one line of music at a time (singer/trumpeter) but could probably teach myself given enough time, though never to the brilliance of Pollini.

Judas Priest it's like herding a swarm of eels. If out of your huge eclectic collection you had to select 1 piece of music WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Re: Desert Island Discs
 

Meg Ryan.

And I'll exchange the music for a bottle of baby oil.
