"it was a very peculiar moment, when you think that Picasso, Stravinsky,
Joyce, Matisse and Braque were all working at the same time - you could practically see them together. It was as though, after the terrible upheavals of the war, they had been given a sort of silent rendezvous to come to
Paris, that this was the creative spot; and it's never been reproduced, anywhere." During the 1920s, Maria Jolas , "a poor little Kentucky girl", came to know many of the titans of cultural Paris. In
1982, not long before she died, she shared her memories with Frank
Delaney.

John Whenham presents a selection of songs by Slgismondo d'lndia, one of the most original contemporaries of Monteverdi. A Sicilian noble by birth, he had more than a dilettante interest in music, and was employed as a musician at the Savoy court in Turin.

A portrait of the composer Darius Milhaud.
Christopher Palmer traces the life and music of a prolific composer, whose music ranges from the South American colour of Le Boeuf sur le Toit to the jazz-inspired ballet La
Création du Monde, and from a song-cycle about agricultural machinery to epic operas like Christophe Colomb. There are also 12 symphonies and 18 string quartets.
He grew up in Aix, went to Brazil with poet
Paul Claudel , spent the firebrand years of the 1920s in Paris as one of "Les Six", and, on the outbreak of the Second World War, went to
America, where Mills
College, California, became his second home.
Including an interview with Milhaud's widow
Madeleine, BBC archive recordings of Milhaud talking, and readings from his autobiography, as well as musical extracts.

Chamber music on the large scale: Image, Reflection, Shadow written for the Fires of London by Peter Maxwell Davies, and the tango interpreted by Astor Piazzolla with the New
