To coincide with the annual Cheltenham Festival Races being held this week, Michael Berkeley's guest is Edward Gillespie, managing director of Cheltenham Racecourse. Apart from his passion for racing, he is closely involved with arts events in Gloucestershire and is a keen music lover. His choices range from choral music by Stanford and Carlo Rutti to a string quartet by the Gloucestershire-born composer Herbert Howells, Grieg's Holberg Suite, a tribute to Stephen Foster by Percy Grainger and Burt Bacharach's song She Likes Basketball from the Broadway musical Promises, Promises.
