About Mother, Op 28

Mozart's comic opera of love, wiles and female ways, in a performance given at this year's Salzburg Festival.
Two young men are so convinced of their sweethearts' devotion that they agree to don disguises and try to tempt the girls away. To their horror, first one gives way and then the other. But as their old friend Don Alfonso says, "Cosi fan tutte" - all women behave like that!
Sung in Italian.

SIMULTANEOUS BROADCAST with BBC1 television

Last year, Observer music critic Andrew Porter returned to Britain after 20 years on The New Yorker. In the first of five talks he compares orchestral life on both sides of the Atlantic.

George Russell was composer-in-residence at the 1990 Glasgow Jazz Festival, and was commissioned to write a new work for his orchestra to perform at their concert in the Theatre Royal, called An American Trilogy. Ian Carr introduces the recording of that concert by this mainly American group, which included Dave Bargeron ( trombone), Tiger Okoshi (trumpet) and Brad Hatfield (keyboards), as well as British saxophonist Andy Sheppard.
During the interval, George Russell talks to Ian Carr about his long career.
