This week the castaway on Desert Island Discs is the pianist, Phyllis Sellick.

Phyllis Sellick enjoyed a glittering career as a solo performer but was just as well known as one half of a duo, with her husband Cyril Smith. Then he suffered a stroke and lost the use of his left arm, but by adapting the music they continued to perform together successfully in Britain and abroad. In conversation with Sue Lawley, she talks about her life and work and chooses eight records to take to the mythical island.
