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

For Wright's reasons, we've had to shorten the music.

The program was originally broadcast in 1980, and the presenter was Roy Plumley. Our castaway this week is a conductor, now recognised as one of the great Wagner

conductors Reginald Goodall. Now because it's Desert Island discs we've asked you

to choose eight records. Would you rather choose eight

scores? Yes I would prefer to have the scores. From what point of view? I would have the

whole works in rather than just one. Oh yes well you would indeed and of

course you would have your own mental interpretations of them. Did you have any kind of

plan in mind when you chose your eight record?

that was the monadic, the plane song, nevertheless there are a harmonic implication. the included the tonal music of the Schumpo.

So in a way it's a kind of personal musical history.

Yes.
