Michael Berkeley 's guest this week is yachtsman Robin Knox-Johnston , who is famous for the first non-stop solo voyage around the world back in 1968/9, and more recently for another record-breaking circumnavigation in just 74 days. His musical choices begin and end with pieces associated with the sea, but in between we take a visit to Norway, Finland, New York, Kansas City and Italy.
Executive producer Wendy Thompson

Roderick Swanston asks six leading performers of early music to reveal the personal element in their music-making.
5: William Christie
Twenty-five years ago, William Christie left his native America for an extended holiday in Europe. He has never gone back, and for many people he and his ensemble Les Arts Florissants are now more identifiable with the music of French baroque music than the French themselves! But far from being a latter-day Lully, he still finds himself an outsider in the highly politicised
French cultural scene. The programme includes excerpts from:
Francois Couperin Troisième leçon de tenebres
Rameau Hippolyte et Aricie
Schumann Scenes from Goethe's
Faust
Rameau Suite in D minor (1724)
Charpentier Le Reniement de Saint-Pierre
Rameau Castoret Pollux
Luigi Rossi Orfeo
Purcell King Arthur
Mozart Die Zauberflöte
Discs

Last of a six-part series in which leading professional musicians offer advice to up-and-coming performers on staple pieces in the repertoire.

Charles Gounod 's tuneful adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy of the star-crossed lovers does Shakespeare the singular honour of taking him at his word and adhering fairly closely to the original, although he could not resist having them both die together so that he could give them one last duet. The opera includes the famous waltz-song Je veux vivre. Recorded last April at a performance in the Grand Théâtre,
Geneva, and featuring
Leontina Vaduva , who sang the role to critical acclaim at Covent Garden a couple of seasons ago.
Grand Theatre Chorus, Orchestra of the Suisse Romande, conductor Cyril Diederich

The series in which Steve Jones explores the arts and sciences using four senses.
2: A Sense of Place
A look at the sense of place, from animal groups to Scottish writing.
Steve Jones talks to Lewis Wolpert about how cells in a butterfly embryo get their sense of place from the chemical gradients which help to create their stunning wing-patterns. Dr David Daiches reads Robert Louis
Stevenson and discusses the powerful sense of place many Scottish writers seem to create, particularly when they are living far from Scotland.

Chris Parker introduces the last of three programmes of music recorded during the Jazz Weekend in Bath.
British pianist John Taylor (who has been an inspiration to succeeding generations of players including
Django Bates and Julian Arguelles ) talked about his career and gave a solo recital in the Guildhall. In the Pavilion, the 15-piece French group Systeme Friche - led by clarinettists
Jacques di Donato and Xavier Charles - played some wild and exhilarating music. The line-up included Breton pipes, hurdy-gurdy, violin, alpine horn and assorted percussion, as well as more conventional instrumentation. Producer Derek Drescher
