John Humphrys, one of Britain’s best-known broadcasters, joins the Classic FM team to share his own stories and reflections of his favourite composers and their music, every Sunday, 4pm to 7pm.
With a successful career spanning six decades, John has presented on both radio and TV, and has anchored many of the country’s flagship news programmes, including the Today Programme.
There have been 25 James Bond films to date, and John celebrates his favourite thanks to a new album from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, which has recorded new arrangements of all of the world famous Bond themes.
Then, John slows down the pace a little as plays one of the pieces that Vaughan Williams composed based on folk songs he collected in the English countryside: the second Norfolk Rhapsody, in a recording by the London Symphony Orchestra under Richard Hickox.
