A Ladbroke Radio production
Bill Woodrow has been a leading figure among British sculptors since the mid-80s. His early work was characterised by transformations of discarded consumer objects into comments on political and environmental issues. More recently, he has no longer used these found objects but works almost exclusively in cast bronze. In the last of four programmes on contemporary art, Nicholas Ward-Jackson explores this sea change and talks to Bill Woodrow in his studio and at the Tate Gallery, London. A Pier production

Mozart's comic opera of love, wiles and female ways. Two men are so convinced of their sweethearts' devotion that they agree to don disguises and tempt the girls away. To their horror, first one gives way and then the other. But as their cynical friend Don Alfonso says, "Cosi fan tutte" - all women behave like that!

Born in China in 1929, pianist and bandleader
Toshiko Akiyoshi moved to America, via Japan, in the 1950s. Given her reputation, it is surprising that the concert she gave in Brecon last August with her 16-piece New York band was her debut in Britain. It featured saxophonist Lew Tabackin , her husband of some 23 years. Ian Carr introduces the concert and, during the interval, talks to the couple about their work together and apart.
Producer Derek Drescher
