(1740-1786), Frederick II of Prussia was at the centre of a key period in German literature, philosophy and the arts. His court encouraged composers of the day and built a new opera house on the Unter den Linden so that Berlin could take its place as a cultural capital. 1: The Opera
Peter Williams examines the operas of Hasse (1699-1783) and Graun (1703-
1759), showing Frederick's influence and skills as a librettist.

The first of two programmes of music played on keyboard instruments housed at
Hatchlands Park in Surrey as part of the Cobbe Collection. In this programme, Sophie Yates performs pieces from the first half of the 16th century, including works by Hugh Ashton and Nicholas Strogers , on a pair of virginals thought to have belonged to Charles II. Producer Brian Jackson

Continuing the series in which Brian Morton examines the jazz scene in Nazi Germany and the ways in which it continued to flourish despite official condemnation. This week, an investigation into Nazi leaders' efforts to condemn jazz as non-Aryan and degenerate. Their policies had a swift and devastating effect on many jazz players, including one of Germany's most successful bandleaders, James Kok. In
1935, Kok was forbidden to perform or record, and soon afterwards was forced to flee the country. This programme features some of his recordings as well as performances by other early victims of Hitler's artistic doctrines.
