Private Passions - 28/09/2008

Michael Berkeley's guest is former nurse and midwife Jennifer Worth, who has written two best-selling books - Call the Midwife and Shadow of the Workhouse - detailing her experiences working in London's Docklands in the 1950s. But her first love has always been music, and after finishing nursing, she has taught piano and singing for over a quarter of a century. Her musical selections range from singers such as Maria Callas, Janet Baker and Edith Piaf to Russian Orthodox choral music, the Paraguayan harp and a Hebridean folksong.
