FAIREST ISLE

Joseph Holbrooke Bronwen Roderic Dunnett introduces excerpts from the third opera in The Cauldron of Annwn trilogy, a massive cycle which earned
Holbrooke the nickname
"the Cockney Wagner". His dark and rich sound-world echoes the Welsh myth which provides the narrative in a world of druids and chieftains, where romance and jealously abound, but old blood insults prove even stronger.

Alyn Shipton presents the last of six programmes about the black American singer and bandleader Cab Calloway. By the start of the 1950s, Cab had been forced to give up not only his big band but also the smaller Cab Jivers. He then embarked on an acting career playing roles such as Sportin' Life in a world tour of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess, and Horace Vandergelder in Hello Dolly. But he continued to lead many pick-up bands until his death in 1994.
