Mark Lawson interviews Ian Bostridge on Front Row (@ 19min, after John le Carré) on music, magic, and having something to fall back on if your academic career doesn't quite make it down the slipway.
And here he sings some stuff with Harry Bicket and the English Concert.
And here he writes about Britten's War Requiem.
