| | WNYC - Mad About Music: Mervyn King (June 06, 2004) |
 | | King Well, I think if I were to say what piece of music best represented the atmosphere and the style of the Monetary Policy Committee, it would probably have to be a Beethoven string quartet, a late string quartet of Beethoven, because it combines that element of intellectual depth and seriousness. |
 | | King Well, I'm all in favor of competition and new entry, and I think any attempt to give people the feeling that there is a new way to go and to listen to the opera without going to the old established opera houses, may bring more people into opera and to music. |
 | | Mervyn King is a Fellow of the British Academy, an Honorary Fellow of King's and St John's Colleges, Cambridge and holds honorary degrees from Birmingham, London Guildhall, Wolverhampton, City (London) Universities and the London School of Economics. |
