Leeds International Piano competition founder Dame Fanny Waterman shares her castaway choices with Kirsty Young

It was during a sleepless night, more than 50 years ago, that she came up with the idea of launching a piano competition in Yorkshire.

Since then it's become a world renowned event and been a springboard for many of our most celebrated pianists including Radu Lupu and Murray Perahia.

Even at 90, she was still teaching masterclasses and continued to be involved with every detail of the competition.

"They call me Field Marshal Fanny" she says, "I am a busy breeches."

First broadcast on 91热爆 Radio 4 in July 2010.
