From the Printed Page
Kit Hesketh-Harvey finds out from composer Graham Fitkin that he has never had a publisher yet enjoys a flourishing career, including numerous commissions and recordings. In the past, Mozart was reluctant to publish - and Beethoven was downright difficult. Can a composer or singer-songwriter really survive without a publishing deal?

From the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Tonight, the farewell London appearance of one of the great horn players of our time. Barry Tuckwell performs a Mozart concerto and a lyrical new work by Oliver Knussen. This is matched by orchestral sonorities in three 20th-century classics, from the glitter and glow of Stravinsky and Debussy to the rich, dark hues of Sibelius.
Barry Tuckwell (horn), BBC Singers, Philharmonia, conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen

Stravinsky Symphonies of Wind Instruments
Knussen Horn Concerto (first London performance)
Debussy Nocturnes

8.20 Barry Tuckwell
Tonight's soloist reflects upon some of the more memorable events in a 50-year career as a professional musician, in conversation with Chris de Souza. As one of the leading horn players of his generation, he has inspired new works for his instrument, steered the London Symphony Orchestra through a difficult period in their history and embarked on a successful conducting career. This has taken him a long way from his native Melbourne, Australia, but what lies in store for him now?
