Lyapunov Piano Concerto No 2, in e, Op 38
Myaskovsky Symphony No 1, in c minor, Op 3

An extravaganza in nine scenes by Vladimir Mayakovsky, translated by Max Hayward
with Tom Wilkinson as Ivan Prisypkin, known as Skripkin, Brenda Blethyn as Zoya Beryozkina, his jilted lover, Susie Brann as Elzevir Renaissance, his fiancee, Eva Stuart as Rosalie Renaissance, her mother, George Parsons as Oleg Bard, an eccentric house owner and Roy Kinnear as Klop

Two lives were saved after the wild wedding party in Tambov in 1929 - Skripkin and a bedbug. They were alive, but frozen, for nearly 50 years. The crowds that flocked to see them after their 'defrigeration' were shocked and revolted, not so much by the bedbug, but by the man.
