Radio 3 Requests - Fiona Talkington

Fiona Talkington introduces a selection of Radio 3 listeners' requests, including Mozart's Overture to The Magic Flute and a Trio Sonata that was possibly written by Handel. There's Vaughan Williams' setting of Robert Louis Stevenson's Songs of Travel, sung by notable interpreter Thomas Allen, and contralto Kathleen Ferrier's classic recording of Mahler. The guest request is made by RSC actor Greg Hicks.
