BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Kazuo Ishiguro wins the Nobel Prize, Latonia Moore, Loving Vincent

Kazuo Ishiguro wins the Nobel Prize in Literature, Alex Clark assesses his contribution.

Kazuo Ishiguro is awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Plus soprano Latonia Moore on Aida and the couple behind the first fully painted feature film Loving Vincent.

Kazuo Ishiguro wins the Nobel Prize in Literature. The literary critic, Alex Clark, assesses his contribution to the literary canon.

Latonia Moore has just made her debut at the English National Opera in a visually spectacular new production of Aida. The soprano, from Houston, Texas, hit the headlines in 2012 when she made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, stepping into the title role of Aida at 36 hours' notice, a performance broadcast around the world.

Loving Vincent is the first fully painted feature film. 94 of Van Gogh's originals were re-created by 125 professional oil painters for the 65,000 frames. Set in Arles, it focuses on the mystery surrounding the death of the artist. Kirsty speaks to the couple who are the film's co-directors and writers, Dorota Kobiela & Hugh Welchman.

Presented by Kirsty Lang 
Produced by Sarah Johnson.
