Forthcoming Episode of Desert Island Discs Described By Insider As "Chilling" and "Weird"Submitted by matt on 29 December, 2006 - 9:40pm.News
RADIO 4 Kirsty Young's castaway this New Year is the popular journalist and television presenter Kate Thornton (born February 7, 1973 in Nuremberg). She is best known for ITV’s The X Factor which she has hosted since 2004. Precocious from birth, she became the youngest ever editor of Smash Hits at age 21, though she left after only a year. Her early years in Germany laid the foundation for her success and gave her a confidence performing in front of a crowd and a genuine racial interest in people and their lives. For someone so young and professionally situated in the world of pop music, Kate’s choices might provide a surprise for the listener. 1. Wagner Die Walkure (Act 2, scene 4) 2. Wagner Prelude to Lohengrin 3. Wagner Liebestod (from Tristan und Isolde, Act III, Scene 3) 4. Wagner Siegfried (Prelude and opening of Act 3, Scene 1) 5. Wagner Tannhäuser Overture 6. Wagner Liebestod (from Tristan und Isolde, Act III, Scene 3) 7. Wagner Siegfried Idyll (opening) 8. John Williams Theme from the film Schindler's List Book: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (“I’ve read it so many times that I must know whole passages off by heart. It’s not that it’s so deep or anything – it’s comfort reading really, I suppose”). Luxury: Her grandfather’s service medals. login to post comments
