On this week's episode of Earlier, I am joined by writer and oncologist Professor Jonathan Waxman. Many of my guests save their music choices and share them with us.
Proffesor Waxman does that, but more importantly through his work as head of prostate cancer UK he saves lives. He introduces music he loves by Andreas Scholl, Janet Baker, Jessye Norman and Flanders and Swann. Tune in this saturday at midday on BBC radio 3 or listen back on BBC sounds.
