Someone has just sent me a press release that lists the nation’s ‘favourite’ classical music tracks, according to the Performing Rights Society.

I don’t propose to tell you what those tracks are, but it did set me thinking. What piece of music would I want to listen to if I was stuck in a five-mile tailback on the M25? I know such a thing is hard to imagine, but pretend it could happen.

Without a doubt, I would play Handel’s aria ‘Ombra mai fu’, preferably sung by the soprano Jennifer Johnston, whose voice is to opera what Charlotte Green’s is to the shipping forecast. Not only would I forget all about the traffic jam, I wouldn’t be tempted to while away the time on my mobile: it’s hard to talk with a lump in your throat.

I couldn’t find a Jennifer Johnston recording, but here is Jennifer Lamore singing the same piece, bizarrely in a scrap yard. Enjoy.

What would be your queue music?
