Sir Thomas Armstrong - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

This week's castaway is Sir Thomas Armstrong, formerly Principal of the Royal Academy of Music, and now 91 years old. He'll be talking to Sue Lawley about his many years of teaching and performing music, judging music competitions and carrying out the almost impossible task of choosing just eight records to take to the mythical island from a lifetime filled with music from an early age.

Favourite track: Brigg Fair by Frederick Delius
Luxury: Clavichord
