Who’s Diva Joyce taking on her desert island?
mainJoyce DiDonato ill appear on the BBC’s long-running Desert Island Discs next Sunday.
You can listen and download here.
More intriguingly, you can start making lists of the eight records she’ll choose to take, the big book and the single luxury.
My guess is she’ll have Marilyn Horne in some bel canto and Billie Holiday in some can belto.
That leaves six discs.
We’ll offer a CD prize for whoever gets closest to her final selection.
Janet Baker will be in there somewhere, I think.
I expect Frederica von Stade will get in somewhere, and surely there will be something by Jake Heggie.
Such a shame that’s she’s ill. Such bad timing.
