Walton's second symphony was premiered in 1960; Britten dedicated his late masterpiece of 1975 - the "dramatic cantata" Phaedra - to Janet Baker ; and the Triple Concerto, written in 1979, reflects Tippett's discovery of Javanese music in the beautiful slow movement.

Glyndebourne Festival Opera without the benefit of public funding; John Tooley and the Earl of Harewood, both former administrators of London's major opera houses:
Nicholas Payne , who has recently left Covent Garden for English National Opera; and critic Rodney Milnes.

Quiet Nights, the latest project from Django Bates , finds him with his saxophone and bass harmonica in an unexpected setting - the world of the jazz standard. His new collaboration with young Swedish vocalist Josefine Cronholm presents a fresh, lyrical approach to well-worn tunes. In this concert given earlier this month at the Cheltenham Jazz
Festival, the rhythm section is supplied by Michael Mondesir on bass and Martin France on drums and percussion. And in the week of Duke Ellington's centenary, the programme examines the Ellington legacy with author Stuart Nicholson , whose innovative biography, A Portrait of Duke Ellington: Reminiscing in Tempo, is published this week.
