Listen "Richard Rogers"
Episode Synopsis
The castaway in this week's Desert Island Discs is one of Britain's leading and most controversial architects Richard Rogers. He'll be talking to Sue Lawley about two of his most celebrated designs - the Pompidou Centre in Paris and the Lloyds Building in London - and describing how his passion for the new and the innovative has brought him into disagreement with many critics, including Prince Charles, with whom he shares a passionate concern for the quality of our built environment.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs] Favourite track: Piano Concerto No 24 Second Movement by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
