Elgar and His Muses
With Michael Kennedy. After the death of his wife in 1920, Elgar feared that his musical powers had evaporated.

Some 40 of his works survive - allegorical madrigals and ballatas, which tell many different stories and carry secret political, philosophical or emotional messages.

Prom, which featured a new work for vioin and viola by Piers Hellawell, a centenary performance of Elgar's Enigma Variations, and Rachmaninov's last symphony. Clio Gould (violin), Philip Dukes (viola), BBC Scottish Symphony

Sleeping on a Volcano
Five personal European views on the legacy of 1848. A new map of Europe was drawn up after the events of 1848, as independent regions became nation-states. A century-and-a-half later, it is regionalism, not nationalism, that is testing Europe's borders. As calls for regional independence in Italy grow louder, Dacia Maraini offers a timely review of the building of the state of Italy. Repeat
