Pierre Boulez
The phrase enfant terrible might have been coined for Pierre Boulez : as a young composer, he was ferociously at odds with the French musical establishment. He talks to
Joan Bakewell about his role in a postwar musical revolution.
Great Singers
With Peggy Reynolds. The castrato
Farinelli was the most adored singer of the early 18th century. Orchestral musicians would forget to play when they heard the sound of his voice.

Brooklyn Bridges
Five programmes this week examining the history, culture and inhabitants of the dynamic New York borough that was once a city in its own right and has played a major part in inventing America.
2: The Great Mistake of 98? One hundred years ago, Brooklyn lost its municipal status and became part of New York City. Tim Marlow examines what was gained and lost and considers the legendary
"Brooklyn pride" that has made
Brooklynites strive to maintain their own sense of cultural identity.
Stopping-off points range from the elegant Brooklyn Heights - which produced Walt Whitman - to the legendary Gleason's Gym, which produced world champion boxers Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe.

SOUNDING THE CENTURY
With Daniel Snowman.
Love and Art. "Women, wildfowl, and a good libretto" is how Puccini is said - only half in jest - to have characterised his lifelong preoccupations. He certainly created a vivid gallery of memorable women, among them Manon Lescaut , Mimi (in La Boheme) and Tosca. Perhaps it was Tosca herself who best expressed the composer's real obsessions when she sang Vissi d'Arte, Vissa d'Amore. Repeated from last Tuesday
