John Clare , the Peasant Poet of Northampton, shot to poetic fame and met the literary giants of his day, including Coleridge and Charles Lamb. His first book was a bestseller, but he was forgotten when his physical and mental health collapsed, and he spent the last years of his life in a lunatic asylum, where he continued to write until his death in 1864. Simon Rae uses Clare's words to retell his tragic story. With Jack Shepherd as Clare. First broadcast on BBC Radio 4

Or Huis Clos , written by Jean-Paul Sartre and translated by Frank Hauser. A modern European classic and a dramatic representation of Sartre's philosophy of existentialism. Three characters find themselves trapped together in a Second Empire drawing room. But the room is in Hell, and the characters will be yoked together for eternity, tormenting each other with the vicious and shameful events in their lives.

Recorded for the first time only two years after its 1949 premiere, Olivier Messiaen's mighty Turangalila symphonie has gone from being regarded as virtually unplayable to being almost staple repertoire for orchestras today. Michael Oliver charts this development with the help of recordings by Hans Rosbaud, Maurice Le Roux, Simon Rattle, Esa-Pekka Salonen and Myung-Whun Chung.
