Michael Berkeley 's guest this week is Gilbert Kaplan , an American businessman and Mahler enthusiast.
Having made a fortune on Wall
Street, he has since devoted his life to studying Mahler - particularly the Symphony No 2, which he taught himself how to conduct. This month, he celebrates the tenth anniversary of his bestselling recording of the work with another London performance, at the Royal Albert Hall. Naturally enough, Mahler features prominently in his list of musical passions.

A Leader of Suggestive Power. In the penultimate part of his series on the great Austrian conductor Herbert von Karajan, Richard Osborne considers questions of politics, power and perfectionism; the nature of Karajan's command of the orchestra; and his often ambivalent attitude to recording. The programme includes part of Karajan's 1943 recording of Brahms's Symphony No 1 in C minor with the Concergebouw Orchestra, plus music by Beethoven, Britten,
Ravel, Rossini, Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky played by the Philharmonia, the Turin Radio
Symphony Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic.

Natalie Wheen is in the chair for 45 minutes of diverting conversation as a panel of musical celebrities tackles questions from a studio audience in Manchester's Bridgewater Hall. Panellists are cellist Julian Lloyd
Webber, pianist Kathryn Stott and pianist, organist and conductor Wayne Marshall.

One of Verdi's grandest operas: his moving setting of Friedrich Schiller's drama of conflict between love, honour, loyalty and political ambition in a new production of the composer's revised, more compact, four-act version. Don Carlos, the heir to the Spanish throne, takes the side of the Flemish, fighting for their independence against Carlos's father, King Philip II, and the sinister Grand Inquisitor. This act of filial disobedience is aggravated by Carlos's love for Elisabeth, his father's new young wife.

Sung in Italian.

Paris Opera Chorus and Orchestra, conductor James Conlon

Act 1

7.10 Why Do We All Hate Philip So?
Was Philip II of Spain too conscientious to appeal to the likes of Schiller and Verdi? Novelist Adrian Mourby asks why some monarchs are loved by history and others loathed. The words of the real and operatic Philip are read by Peter Jeffrey, and the testimony of those who knew the king is spoken by Cyril Shaps and Alice Arnold.

The series continues in which Professor Steve Jones assesses the legacy of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species.
Tennyson's famous description "nature red in tooth and claw" predates Origin of Species by almost a decade, but it was Charles Darwin who realised that the brutal struggle that seems to characterise animals' lives is the driving force of evolution. Does all great creation result from struggle, or is this the oldest artistic cliche in the book?
