After 1945, when severe paper-rationing restricted book production, cultural life in Germany was dependent on public performance, and, despite a struggle for day-to-day survival, a very rich musical life soon took shape. Stephen Johnson travels to Nuremberg to talk to Hermann Glaser , one of Germany's leading historians, about German culture and society in the years immediately after the Second World War.

The shortlist provoked controversy, the choice of winner is bound to fuel it. Richard Coles reports on tonight's Turner Prize. Is there more to the relationship between business and art than begging bowls and corporate entertainment at the opera? Night

And the rise of the literary trainspotter - are readers and writers alike too concerned with the factual details of place and location at the expense of imaginative description? Plus the New Yorker's Bill Buford with his weekly comment on cultural life across the Atlantic.

It is not all heady perfumes and the rustle of silk petticoats in Massenet: he had a well-developed sense of comedy, of both the broad and the sly varieties, and he used it to leaven the sentiment and heavy-breathing drama of even his most serious works. Rodney Milnes introduces excerpts from Chérubin, Cendrillon and Thais.
