Nicolai Gedda
'From Bach cantatas to
Neapolitan songs, or from the spirituality of Elgar's Gerontius to the schmaltz of Robert Stolz , the versatility of Nicolai Gedda and the way he penetrates to the essence of so many styles is a rare achievement.' The view of Charles Osborne , who in this programme talks to the Swedish tenor about some of the favourite roles in his repertory, including Lensky in Eugene Onegin.

by Bernard Kops
Starring Ian Holm as Ezra Pound
with Barbara Jefford, John Turner, John Carson and Sarah Badel

In Northern Italy, towards the end of the Second World War, an American army unit took into captivity a gaunt, babbling fugitive. The man was Ezra Pound, considered to be one of the greatest poets in the world. Pound was not only a propagandist for the Fascist way of life, but held strongly anti-Semitic views. He was placed in a cage, under appalling conditions, pending trial for treason. It was an experience from which he never fully recovered, alone with his conscience, his ideals, his conflicts.
