Well 623 you are deserted on an island. Do you understand that bit?


You are allowed 3 songs or pieces of music. Which ones would you like? I suspect you will want Dangermouse, Crossroads theme tune and something classical.

I'd go for:


Stavinsky's the Rite of Spring


Mozart's Flute and Harp concerto


Iron Maiden's Two minutes to Midnight.


My book would be the Bible and my luxury would be Zsanett Egerhazi.

How can I pick only three pieces of music?? And do I go for classical or contemporary music?? The choice is too tough!! OK -


1. Mozart Clarinet Concerto


2. Mahler's Fifth Symphony


3. Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto


AND - as you can pick 8 pieces in the real programme, I'll have a few modern pieces:


4. David Bowie - Changes


5. The Rolling Stones - The last Time


6. The Stranglers - No More Heroes


 


My book? A huge Dicken's novel to keep me going - perhaps Hard Times.


My luxury? Shampoo.

Old but spicey!

1.  Bach Mass in B Minor


2.  Berlioz Harold in Italy


3.  Vaughan-Williams Symphony No. 5


By the way BK - which version of Pictures at an Exhibition?  Orchestral, piano, synthesiser or ELP?  I seem to have all of them. Oh and a cello version.

1. Mr blue sky - ELO


2. Champagne supernova - Oasis


3. Les fleur - 4hero

Me too, GC! Not the cello one though.


It would have to be Modest's own version. The piano.


My book? Eon by Greg Bear.
