Black Orpheus, Lotte Lenya singing Weill's Seerauber-Jenny from The Threepenny Opera, a scene from Verdi's Falstaff, and pieces connected with Aldeburgh by Schubert, Britten and Oliver Knussen.

Vladimir Ashkenazy
The fourth of six programmes in which Chris de Souza introduces some of the great pianist and conductor's many recordings, together with the voices of Ashkenazy and people who work with him.
Today, some of Ashkenazy's rare forays into the music of Debussy, his second recording of Beethoven's Piano Sonata in F minor, Op 57 (Appassionata), Brahms's Piano Concerto No 1 in D minor with Bernard Haitink conducting the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and Ashkenazy himself conducting the Philharmonia in the Symphony No 3 by Sibelius, a composer of whom he is particularly fond.

The first of three programmes featuring masterclasses from the recent Cardiff Singer of the World competition. In each of the programmes a juror is assigned two unsuccessful competitors who perform their competition pieces again, and are then taken through them by the expert and advised on how to improve the performance. Here, presenter Elaine Padmore talks to the distinguished American mezzo Marilyn Home and eavesdrops on her masterclass.
