Salvatore Accardo
The art of a violin virtuoso is the product of over 300 years of music-making, the fruits of which have been passed down the generations from master to pupil. Joan Bakewell talks to Salvatore Accardo about his place in this distinguished musical heritage, and Accardo reflects on the commercial temptations facing today's wunderkind.

450 Years of Prayer and Music in English. Translated from Latin into the vernacular by Thomas Cranmer , the Book of Common Prayer was published in 1549, and with it came a brand-new era in the liturgy - and sacred music - of Tudor England. Christopher Page discovers how frantic scribes and composers supplied and adapted music for the new direction of the English church, with Dr David Skinner and Dermott McCulloch.
The music comes from a special service to celebrate the 450th anniversary of the Book of Common Prayer and is sung as it would have been after the introduction of the new rite in Christ
