Janet Baker
It was once said of Janet Baker that
"she can do about anything vocally and dramatically, in a variety of contexts." In addition to her many successes on the operatic stage, she was a regular recitalist, and today she talks to Joan Bakewell about her work as a lieder singer.

4: Acis et Galatee
Lully's last theatrical masterpiece was written at a time when people's attitudes to moral standards were changing and Parisians were becoming almost pious. This left
Lully and his frequently scandalous private life out in the cold. Robert King recounts the story of the shepherd Acis, whose love for the sea-nymph Galatea is theatened only by that of a jealous rival - Poiyphemos, the Cyclops. Acis et Galatee (excerpts) Les Musiciens du Louvre, director Marc Minkowski

Mystery and Adventure
"Every concert is an adventure, and how its programme comes about is often a mystery." So says the winner of the 1997 Umberto Micheli piano competition, Aleksandar Madzar. He certainly presents an unusual programme, including one of the peaks of the virtuoso piano repertoire in Ravel's dark and incandescent triptych Gaspard de la Nuit. Piers Lane meets the young Yugoslavian pianist and introduces a recital he gave last month in the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's South Bank, in which he also plays music by Berg, Scarlatti and Berio.
