450 Years of Don Quixote
To mark the 450th anniversary of the birth of Miguel de Cervantes, an exploration of why Don Quixote, the book said to mark the beginnings of the novel, also mapped out the genre's possibilities and foresaw its possible ends. The distinguished Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes reflects on his lifelong obsession with the book; celebrated Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa explains its particular significance for Latin American fiction; and American writer Robert Coover explores its inspiration for artists and all impossible dreamers. Introduced by Mike Gonzalez.

by William Wycherley, adapted by Martyn Read. The last of four Sunday Play productions featuring classics of Restoration drama with the late Sir Michael Hordern in his final role. London, 1675, and the King's Players give the first performance of William Wycherley 's new play, in which Harry Horner, an unredeemed rake-hell, hits upon a remarkable stratagem for conquering new bedchambers!

Polychoral music came to the fore throughout the 16th and early
17th centuries in northern Italy, most notably at the Basilica of San Marco, Venice, through the work of renowned composers such as Giovanni Gabrieli.
Jeremy Summerly is joined by David Trendell , college organist and lecturer at King's College, London, to discuss the polychoral repertoire, from Alessandro Strigglo 's 40-part motet Ecce Beatum Lucem to
Brahms's eight-part Fest- and Gedenkspruche.
