Sir David Attenborough is interviewed by Kirsty Young for Desert Island Discs.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01b8yy0
Kirsty Young's castaway for the 70th anniversary edition of Desert Island Discs is Sir David Attenborough.
He has seen more of the world than anyone else who has ever lived - he's visited the north and south poles and witnessed most of the life in-between - from the birds in the canopies of tropical rainforests to giant earthworms in Australia.
But despite his extraordinary travels, there is one part of the globe that's eluded him. As a young man and a keen rock-climber, he yearned to conquer the highest peak in the world. "I won't make it now - I won't make it to base camp now - but as a teenager, I thought that the only thing a red-blooded Englishman really should do was to climb Everest."
Producer: Leanne Buckle.

The Outsider
Sun 29 Jan 2012
18:30
BBC Radio 3
Texts and music about oustsiders, with readings by Lesley Manville and Tom Goodman-Hill.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b019pp84
Lesley Manville and Tom Goodman-Hill read poetry and prose on the theme of outsiders, from those who seek to escape society's constraints, to those who long to conform. With words by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Clare, Mary Shelley, Albert Camus, George Orwell, Maya Angelou and Jeanette Winterson, and music by Gesualdo, Strauss, Berg and Feldman.
Producer Note
This programme is dedicated to men and women who dare to – or can’t help but – stand out from society. We begin with a spectacular boast from the philosopher, novelist and sometime music theorist Jean-Jacques Rousseau, paired with music by Scriabin – a man of such hubris that he practically believed in his own divinity.
Simeon Stylites’ feat of standing on a pillar for thirty years demonstrates the lengths to which people will go in order to avoid engaging with everyone else. His monotonous routine is reflected by a fraction of Morton Feldman’s six-hour-long String Quartet (II).
Next the delusional Don Quixote tilts at windmills in both Cervantes’s original and Strauss’s portrait. Alan Bennett’s neighbour/local tramp, Miss Shepherd, has frequent visions of the ‘BVM’. The Blessed Virgin Mary appears to the accompaniment of this ‘Vision’ by Messiaen. In contrast to the poverty of Miss Shepherd, Jay Gatsby’s wealth makes him an outsider at his own party; Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald’s rendition of ‘Tenderly’ strikes a note of wistful romance on a warm summer’s night.
On to other worlds, and Herrick’s ‘Beggar to Mab, the Fairy Queen’; Mendelssohn’s scherzo from ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ brings to life this diminutive world, where an ant or the ear of a mouse makes for a nourishing and tasty meal. Alice is an odd girl out in a whole host of misfits in Wonderland, and Cinderella is an outcast in her own home, here, in Mikhail Pletnev’s sparkling arrangement of Prokofiev’s original ballet.
In the first of his adventures Gulliver finds himself a giant among the Lilliputians, accompanied by Mussorgsky’s Unhatched Chicks from ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’. Another ‘Picture’ – the fearsome witch Baba Yaga – transports us to the miserable world of Frankenstein’s creature, who has been outcast by an intolerant and unforgiving society. Berg sums up a similar experience in the poignant interlude from the end of ‘Wozzeck’, another outsider driven to murder. Emily Dickinson reminds us that judgment is subjective, but there’s a warning for those whose views don’t correspond with the majority’s.
Bach’s chorus from cantata BWV 12, ‘Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen’ (‘Weeping, lamenting, worrying, fearing’), continues the dark mood and leads us to the interrogation of Winston in George Orwell’s classic, ‘Nineteen-Eighty-Four’. His torturer argues that reality can be controlled by the Party – cue the Fourth Symphony of Shostakovich, a composer whose life was blighted by political control.
Quentin Crisp protests too: he describes his education of the English masses with his customary wit, accompanied by Robert Farnon’s jaunty ‘Portrait of a Flirt’. Where Crisp flaunted his difference, the heroine of Jeanette Winterson’s semi-autobiographical ‘Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit’ longs to blend in but is set apart by her evangelical upbringing. The Dixie Hummingbird’s foot-tapping rendition of ‘The Devil Can’t Harm A Praying Man’ brings us to a humiliating Easter Sunday in Maya Angelou’s childhood, and Billie Holiday’s ‘Gloomy Sunday’.
Next the Renaissance composer and nobleman Gesualdo, infamous for the murder of his wife and her lover, whose radical harmonies are displayed in ‘O vos omnes’. The anti-hero of Albert Camus’s novel ‘The Outsider’ is sympathetically portrayed, despite having no regret for his callous murder of a stranger. Beethoven was a stranger to his audience with the following ultra modern-sounding fugue. The haunting melodies of Britten’s Violin Concerto and John Clare’s moving poem of alienation, ‘I Am’, end the programme on an ambiguous note.
