From the Royal Festival Hall, a programme of works which belie their composers' modernist reputations. Webern's Im
Sommerwind and Schoenberg's Pelleas and Melisande -with its famous love triangle - both took their inspiration from literature and are rich, lyrical examples of late Romanticism. Berg's Lulu suite-taken from his opera - tells of another bitter love story.
Valdine Anderson (soprano), BBC Symphony Orchestra, conductor Ulf Schirmer
Webem Im Sommerwind
Berg Symphonic Pieces (Lulu)
8.20 Twenty Minutes: Poems in Reply Christopher Ricks demonstrates poets' love of replying to each other - from the comic to the barbed, from TS Eliot to GK Chesterton.
