David Fanning has been listening to the Danacord Carl Nielsen Collection, which contains historical recordings from the Denmark Radio Archive. They include performances of the six symphonies by three conductors whose approaches are close to Nielsen's own - Thomas Jensen ,
Launy Grondahl and Erik Tuxen. Also in the collection are recordings of the concertos, chamber music, keyboard works, and the operas Maskarade and Saul and David recorded by Danish casts. To complete the picture, David Fanning assesses some 1950s Decca and EMI recordings of the symphonies and concertos, recently issued by Dutton Laboratories.

Conductor Simon Rattle 's name is synonymous with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, but over the years he has worked with many other orchestras, both in this country and abroad. Michael Birkett presents an eight-part series looking at some of these collaborations.
4: Berlin Philharmonic Simon Rattle first conducted this orchestra in 1987 and scored an immediate success. Michael Birkett introduces Berg's Wozzeck Fragments and Suk's Asrael Symphony from a concert Rattle gave in 1992, and talks to players and the orchestra's intendant, Elmar Weingarten. He gets the critic's view of Rattle's relationship with the orchestra from Manuel Brug of Der Tagespiegel.
The Simon Rattle series Leaving Home is on Sundays at 9.00pm on Channel 4

Handel could have called this opera
Sibling Rivalry when he completed it in 1738. The work is written to a largely fictional libretto with a historical background - the title role is the figure of the Persian king Xerxes I. Set in about 470BC, the action centres around the rivalry between Xerxes and his brother Arsamene for the love of Romilda and, in turn, the rivalry between Romilda and her scheming sister Atalanta for Arsamene. Amastre and Ariodate help to sort out the ensuing mess. This performance was given last February in Munich.
