This year, Swiss tenor Hugues Cuenod was 95. In this special edition, he talks to pianist Graham Johnson , recalling pre-war Vienna and Paris, where he frequented aristocratic salons and worked with Nadia Boulanger. After the war, the new early-music boom relied heavily on his light, unmannered, natural sound, and Cuenod made several pioneering LPs - his 1950 recording of Couperin's Lamentations prompted Stravinsky to ask him to sing in the premiere of The Rake's
Progress. Opera has been a constant thread, including a debut at New
York's Met in the mid-eighties and a final appearance on stage at 92.
Britain remembers him best for his
14 different roles at Glyndebourne, especially in Mozart and Cavalli.
But at the heart of Cuenod's wide-ranging repertoire is French song - he knew and worked with Honegger, Auric, Roussel, Poulenc, Debussy's prima donna Mary Garden, and many others.

American pianist and composer Stan Kenton , who died in 1979, led various big bands with great success for almost 40 years but stirred up controversy in 1950 when he formed his Innovations in Modern Music
Orchestra, employing up to 40 musicians. He commissioned composers such as Robert Graettinger , Shorty Rogers ,
Pete Rugolo and Bill Russo to write music specifically for the orchestra. In this four-part series, Max Harrison looks at this ambitious, experimental project and puts it in its historical context. Numbers featured in the first programme include Incident in Jazz, Thermopylae and House of Strings by Graettinger. Producer Derek Drescher
Repeated Friday 12.30am
