Music for the Next Millennium
Musical instruments are changing. Yo-Yo Ma no longer needs a bow to play the hypercello, while
Kaffe Matthews 's violin has been adapted to produce the sound of birds.
Composer Trevor Wishart believes the composer is a musical instrument. Sue Nelson visits MIT in Boston - the home of hyperinstruments - to hear the world's first virtual cello.

Schumann's Piano Quintet is the composer's best-known chamber work and one of the handful of great piano quintets. Adrian Jack considers the recorded legacy of performances, including Rudolf Serkin , Myra Hess , Martha Argerich and Clifford Curzon , and the quartets Hagen, Busch, Guarneri and Emerson. Repeat

Unlike most of Rameau's operas, which took a while to get established, this work was an instant success, It was premiered at the Paris Opera in 1739 but its first complete UK performance was not until 1974. In Rameau's day, this opera was better known by its subtitle Les Talents Lyriques, which goes some way to explaining the content of the opera. In the prologue, Hebe, cup-bearer of the Gods, is getting bored with Olympus. She persuades her attendants to fly to the banks of the Seine with her and celebrate the three most valued attributes of the operatic stage - poetry, music and dance. These
"lyric talents" are then the subject of the following three entrees. This concert performance was recorded earlier this month at the Barbican Centre, London.
Les Arts Florissants, conductor William Christie

Further excerpts from the correspondence between the composer and Nadezhda von Meek , read by Alex Jennings and Anna Massey. Within days of the wedding, Tchaikovsky confesses that his marriage is a disaster: two weeks with his wife and he is close to suicide, such is the emotional agony and fear of the scandal. Von Meek is full of compassion, pours scorn on his wife's character and provides money to help him escape abroad. With music from Acts 3 and 4 of Swan Lake performed by the Russian State Symphony Orchestra, conductor Yevgeni Svetlanov. Repeated from Christmas Eve
