Music International

on BBC Two England

A monthly report introduced by Bernard Keeffe.
Including:

The Music of Shostakovich
Last week at the Royal Festival Hall Maxim Shostakovich conducted an all-Shostakovich programme. He appears tonight in an interview about his father's music.

The Bride Wore Black
For his latest film starring Jeanne Moreau, Francois Truffaut has chosen a spine-chilling story of revenge. He has also chosen Bernard Herrmann, the famous film composer for Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock, to write the music. Music International reports from his recording session in Paris.

The Art of Indian Raga
with Vilayat Khan, one of India's leading sitar players.

A Veteran of the Bassoon: Archie Camden
The name Archie Camden is synonymous with the bassoon.
Not only did he become known as its finest exponent, but he brought it back to a position of dignity and importance.
Tonight Music International plays an 80th birthday tribute to Archie Camden. Taking part will be Yehudi Menuhin, Harry Blech, the Camden Wind Quintet and all the members of Camden's own very musical family.
Archie Camden has also been filmed at his Birthday Concert, on March 9, playing the last movement of the Mozart Bassoon Concerto with the Thames Chamber Orchestra conducted by Michael Dobson.
