Paddington’s Musical Adventures

3.45PM, RADIO 3

The late Michael Bond wrote two Paddington stories that have the bold little bear venturing into the world of music. In one story, he conducts a big orchestra and in the other, he finds himself in the Choir of St Paul’s Cathedral. In a concert for all the family, recorded at London’s Royal Albert Hall, the celebrated actor Simon Russell Beale tells both stories, with help from the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
