2: A Chamber Soirée
"The evening at court is devoted to music. The
Prince holds concert in his salon and usually plays the flute, which he handles with complete authority." And, what's more, he also composed for his instrument. Peter Williams introduces some of Frederick's own pieces, and some by contemporaries and court visitors like
C P E Bach (1714-1788). J J Quantz (1697-1773) and F Benda (1722-1795).

3.00 Music in the Soviet
Union
The fifties saw the Soviet
Union move from the terror of Stalin's final years to the first euphoria of Khrushchev's reforms, from
Prokofiev's elegiac and little-known late works, through the grandeur and satire of middle-period
Shostakovich to the early careers of contrasting figures of modem musical life such as Galina
Ustvolskaya and Alfred Schnlttke. Gerard
McBurney is the guide, and the programme includes recollections from Soviet musicians.
