The seventh of eight programmes in which David Mellor celebrates musical personalities from the past. A Lighthouse and a Seagull
When Russian pianist Vladimir Viardo was in Paris earlier this year, he could hear someone practising. He knew it must be his old friend
Sviatoslav Richter , who died soon afterwards. Richter and Viardo's bond survived emigration to France and America. Now Viardo remembers
Richter the musician, who will always be a role model for others to emulate; and Slava the man, who suffered grievous loss under Stalin but had an ability to take off into realms of humour and fantasy. Including:
Rachmaninov Prelude in B flat, Op 23 No 2
Liszt Piano Concerto No 1 in E flat
(1st mvt)
LSO, conductor Kyrill Kondrashin Debussy Les Terrasses des
Audiences; Danseuses de Delphes (Preludes)

In the third of eight programmes,
Paul Oliver looks at the tradition of vocal quartets which anticipated the blues. He suggests that they were the link between the African-
American traditions of the late 19th century and the blues singers of this century, and examines the influence of groups such as the Dinwiddie Colored Quartet, the Excelsior
Quartette and the Norfolk Jazz Quartet. Repeated Friday 12.30am

Tito Manlio
The UK premiere of one of Vivaldi's most colourful operatic scores, apparently written in only five days to celebrate a wedding and first performed in 1719. The complex, three-act plot centres around the rivalry between the Romans and Latins during the time of the Roman Republic. This concert performance was given in July at the Royal College of Music in London.
