Mike Westbrook talks to Geoffrey Norris in the second of eight programmes. Though he had a regular sextet in the late sixties, it was
Westbrook's Concert Band that his record company wanted to record. After the albums Release and Marching Song, he wrote the even more ambitious
Metropolis, which includes sections of collective improvisation.

Since making his debut at the New York Met in 1986, the American baritone
Thomas Hampson has appeared there regularly, and is a frequent guest at European opera houses. His performance of Des
Knaben Wunderhorn with Jessye Norman and Claudio Abbado was a highlight of the 1989 Salzburg Festival.
The anthology of folk verse on which Mahler based his settings played an important part in rekindling German national pride in the early 19th century.
