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 1979, and the presenter was Roy Plumlee. Our castaway this week is the artist, writer, cartoonist, and theatrical designer Sir

Osmbert Lancaster.

So Osmbert does music play an important part as far as you're concerned?

Oh yes I think it does.

I am no exactant.

I mean I short time I played the flute in the school orchestra

there's many many years ago ago so that I can't

be said to be an exactant anyway. Do you play records a lot? Yes, a great deal.

While you're drawing, while you're working. No, I very seldom to because it, I don't know, if there are someone else to change them all,

I would, but the moment one has to get up, it's always the moment one is most employed at the drawing board.

Yes. Well you have eight records to choose. What was the first one you have there?

The first one is Kefaro Sensior Adichi which is a very

fagluc which I'm a very fondoy's most beautiful song and it is sung here by Kathleen Ferrier who

last and last has left us but I particularly like contralto's and she really had most lovely voice. And those and

and joy will be a bit.

Ere never.

Oh, I'm there I'm not there.

Every one of us, every one of whose

shares to be in the obeyed. The world Bea, me. O'be.

Oh,
