(1735-82)
With Simon Heighes. JC Bach, the youngest of Johann Sebastian 's four musical sons, was one of the most versatile composers of the mid-18th century. A champion of the new clarinet and early piano, and equally successful as a composer of operas and symphonies, he spent most of his working life in England. The popularity of his music today is based on its approachable Mozartian style - though it was actually Bach who helped mould Mozart's style. The programme includes Mozart's K107 concerto based on a JC Bach sonata, and Bach's influential Symphony in G minor. Producer David Gallagher

If not actually the originator of abstract art, Vassily Kandinsky was certainly one of its earliest and most influential practitioners, and his book Concerning the Spiritual in Art, published in 1912, remains one of the most important works written by an artist. Nonetheless, London has never before seen a substantial exhibition of his work. Tim Marlow visits the Royal Academy of Arts, where Kandinsky is taking over from the blockbuster Monet show, and discusses his painting and its influence.
Producer Anthony Denselow
