Newsnight Podcast for 5th January 2007

We've lined up something extra special for the first podcast of 2007. For starters, there's a chance to win a copy of pianist Stephen Hough's critically acclaimed CD, “The Spanish Album”. But if that doesn't thrill you, our resident bookworm, Chris Powling, has something that will: Chris has chosen four thrillers to get the new year off to a flying start. There's some good news from Classic FM's resident doctor, Rob Hicks, especially if you suffer from high blood pressure and feel you have to deny yourself the odd glass of wine or beer. And we meet the conductor, Stephen Layton, who, together with Polyphony and the Britten Sinfonia, has just released a second album of choral music by the American composer, Morten Lauridsen. I bet you can't resist clicking on that download button, can you?
