Michael Berkeley\\u2019s guest is the artist Heather Phillipson whose giant swirl of cherry-topped, fly-blown whipped cream has recently been installed on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square.
Heather was a serious classical musician in her teens, and often uses music she\\u2019s composed and performed in her work.
She talks to Michael about music she\\u2019s loved since her childhood, including a Mozart symphony and Prokofiev\\u2019s Peter and the Wolf; a radical opera by Robert Ashley from the 1980s that has had a profound influence on her work; piano music by Grieg which reminds her of her grandmother; and the soaring emotional impact of Beethoven\\u2019s Piano Concerto No 5.
Produced by Jane Greenwood\\nA Loftus Media production for BBC Radio 3.
