Catherine Bott

4 Extra Debut. Soprano and broadcaster Catherine Bott shares some favourite music-inspired writing from TE Brown to Nancy Mitford. From 2008.

Classical singer and broadcaster Catherine Bott shows how writers as diverse as JM Coetzee and Joyce Grenfell have attempted to convey what music means in words.

Extracts also include John Betjeman's poem 'Business Girls', Barry Unsworth's novel Losing Nelson and Meredith Daneman's biography of Dame Margot Fonteyn.

Also, to prove her abiding love for The Archers on Radio 4, Catherine's readers are Patricia Greene and Tim Bentinck (Jill and David Archer).
