SOUNDING THE CENTURY

Russell Davies presents a 52-part history of jazz.

Although it is fashionable in some circles to deride the British contribution to jazz, Britain has produced players of the highest calibre, such as Humphrey Lyttelton, Ronnie Scott, Stan Tracey, Johnny Dankworth, Tubby Hayes and Courtney Pine.

A concert performance given last month in London's Barbican Centre of the 1776 French version of Gluck's ground-breaking opera Alceste.
Apollo tells Alceste that the only way her dying husband, Admete, will survive is if someone yields their life in his place. Alceste resolves to make this sacrifice.

SOUNDING THE CENTURY

Roy Porter introduces the final lecture in the series and chairs a discussion with the audience in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London. Simon Schama, one of the most acclaimed historians writing today, assesses the role of history as we enter a new century and considers what kind of past we want for the future.

Robert Sandall and Mark Russell present a unique mix of musical styles and influences. Producer Philip Tagney

Jez Nelson introduces a set recorded in June at Ronnie Scott 's, London. Composer and trumpeter Mark Isham moves easily amongthe worlds of classical, pop and jazz, while also enjoying a successful career as a film composer. His long fascination with Miles Davis 's electric period ensured he would always include a Miles tune in his live sets. Now, Miles Remembered/The Silent Way Project forms his homage to one of the most influential and controversial periods in Davis's career, transferring Davis producer Teo Macero 's studio techniques to a live setting. Isham's breaks and solos are offset by dual and single improvisations from guitarists Peter Maunu and Steve Cardenas. Producer Steve Shepherd
