A six-part exploration of the material world presented by Hannah Andrassy. 4: Chintz. "Oh chintzy, chintzy cheeriness, half dead and half alive," said John Betjeman of chintz.
Fashion historian Hannah Andrassy unravels the story of chintz, from its origins in India, through the cultural traffic between the colony and Britain, and how the Indian technical virtuosity was stolen by an industrialising England. Americans fascinated by English country house culture in the twenties and thirties revitalised chintz, and it continues to survive in the nineties, despite exhortations from furniture manufacturers to "Chuck your chintz."

The Klemperer Years
"The musician of the Ten
Commandments carved in granite" was how Walter Legge described the conductor Otto Klemperer , who, once Karajan had gone to Berlin, increasingly took over the unofficial post of chief conductor of the Philharmonia in the late fifties and sixties. The partnership yielded some of the orchestra's most memorable records and concerts. In the fourth of six programmes, Humphrey Burton looks back at the Klemperer years, including the voice of Walter Legge and talks to Lotte Klemperer ,
Elisabeth Schwarzkopf , John Amis ,
Gareth Morris , Hugh Bean and Daniel Barenboim. With excerpts from
Mozart Symphony No 41 in G minor, K550
Beethoven Symphony No 3 in E flat (Eroica)
Bach Orchestral Suite No 3 in D, BWV1068
Brahms Symphony No 1 in C minor Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique Tchaikovsky Symphony No 6 in B minor (Pathetique) Beethoven Fidelio

Opera's favourite double-bill: Cavalleria Rusticana, by Mascagni, and I Pagliacci, by Leoncavallo. Both operas are set in Italy and deal with tragic episodes in the lives of local people, following the verismo fashion for putting real life on stage.
Cavalleria Rusticana is set in a Sicilian village one Easter morning. Turiddu has been enjoying a dalliance with Lola, which enrages his former lover, Santuzza. She tells
Lola's husband, who challenges Turiddu to a duel.

A panel of three opera experts tackles questions sent in by listeners.
