  Dame Janet Baker

  Four programmes

  (2) Opera

  Alan Platt introduces us to the least well known aspect of Dame Janet Baker's career: her roles in opera. Baker's decision to limit her operatic appearances to a selection of British venues meant that comparatively few people heard her perform this repertoire live - and while the opportunity to see her on stage is well and truly past, we can revisit recordings with someone who had season tickets (RNZ)
