BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, 26/01/2014Close menu

Stewart Henderson makes his selection from the previous seven days of BBC Radio.

If your idea of a pleasant tune is the skippy frippery of Strauss waltz then Arnold Schoenberg may not be your idea of a harmonious night in. So was the Austrian, avant garde composer responsible for killing off classical music? We ask - you decide.

And for those who remember reading Germaine Greer's seminal work, The Female Eunuch, songwriter Tracey Thorn offers a latter-day perspective on the book's critique of motherhood.

We're also out and about watching sheep graze in Hyde Park, Warrior Druids heading for Stonehenge, and a young Italian anarchist planning dark deeds on the piazza.

That's just some of the dishes on offer in Pick Of The Week's rich audio feast, and not forgetting Amy Winehouse who'll be singing at the banquet.
