Hello I'm Kirstie Young and this is a podcast from the Desert Island Discs archive.

For rights reasons we've had to shorten the music.

The program was originally broadcast in 1987 and the presenter was Michael Parkinson. A Castaway's musician who won fame and fortune by inventing a style which blended classical and jazz music.

With a series of albums he proved that Johann Sebastian Bach was one of the great swingers in musical history.

The records have been best-sellers worldwide for nearly 30 years,

and he's still playing concerts with his new playbach trio.

He is Jacques Luce.

Jacques, would you be any good on this, says town and I mean in the sense are you a practical man?

I'm very practical in terms of natural instinct things. The only problem I will probably face that I don't like to stay alone too long.

You don't. But no, not really. I like the botherhood, I like to be with people, I like to be with people I like to share with somebody or different people.

And that will be the main question.

So my question will be, how long do I have to stay in this island?

Well it could be forever I'm sorry.

Would you try to escape?

Oh yes I will certainly try to do anything to escape so I will probably try to it depends what I will found on this island.

Could you make a boat are you practical in that sense? Yes I think I would be maybe not exactly

a boat but what we call a Rado and just a few piece of raft.

Raff, yeah.

And could you cook, could you fish and that sort of thing?

I will certainly try to survive.

This will be my main interest.

So what about your first record though?
