Presented by Paul Guinery.
Bach's depiction of the heavenly banquet in this week's cantata sums up the themes of new life and resurrection, which Paul Guinery explores in music from the Paris of both the 12th and 20th centuries.

THE THIRD AT 50
A new production, directed by Peter Hall, of George Bernard Shaw's masterpiece of language and comic invention, which was the first play to be broadcast on the Third Programme.
Starring Ralph Fiennes, Juliet Stevenson, Judi Dench, Paul Merton and John Wood.
First staged in its full-length version in 1905, Shaw's play inverts the Don Juan legend: the rapacious hunter becomes the prey, in an exploration of the role of the artist, the place of women in society, and the "Life Force".
