With Chris de Souza.
3: In Complete Freedom
"Most of the Berlin musicians have long contrived to stand still," wrote Charles Burney after his visit to the court of Frederick the Great in 1772. For Burney, Quantz was one of them, and he quotes a newspaper from the year of Quantz's death which stated that "he composed 299 flute concertos, and not a bad one among them". CPE Bach, on the other hand, was one of the few musicians who
"dared to have a style of his own". Quantz's Flute Concerto in A is played by Rachel Brown , and his variations Ich Schliefda Traumte Mir by Nancy Hadden (flute) and Paul Nicholson (harpsichord). CPE Bach's Trio Sonata in C minor (Sanguineus and Melancholicus) is played by the Purcell Quartet, and the fourth of his Hamburg Symphonies by the Camerata Bern, conductor Thomas Furi.

Robin Blaser , the final survivor of the 1950s American West Coast poets, talks to Patrick Wright about the parting of the ways between
American avant-garde poetry and the British return to the milieu of Philip Larkin in the work of Blake Morrison and Andrew Motion. Is free verse an outmoded form? Poets from both sides are invited to the battle of words.
At the National Portrait Gallery in London, a photography exhibition reveals the creative personalities of great 20th-century British composers. And from New York there is a report on the reception of Sebastian Barry 's play The Steward of Christendom. Its portrayal of a crucial moment in Ireland's history after the war of independence in 1922 provoked a sell-out success in London and Dublin. Producer Nicki Paxman
