Ewan MacColl : Rhapsody in Red
Sam Richards looks at one of the leading singer/ songwriters of the folk revival of the 50s and 60s.
Why did MacColl place so much emphasis on recreating the repertoire of a nation's traditional music ?

The first of three programmes tracing the work of Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera examines the composer's early output and shows how he explored the rich, rural folk tradition of his country. Plus, a study of his first string quartet, which proved to be a turning point in his career, bringing him widespread recognition in North America and Europe. Presented by Geoffrey Norris.
