From the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. Petroc Trelawny introduces the first concert in a series featuring the works of Sibelius. BBC Philharmonic, conductor Yan Pascal Tortelier

Sibelius Karelia Suite; Symphony No 3

8.15 Twenty Minutes: Against Oblivion: 2: Norman Cameron and Weldon Kees
Poet and critic Ian Hamilton champions some of the lost poets of the last century.
Norman Cameron (1905-53) wrote only 70 poems, and Weldon Kees (1914-55) about 150. Their merits and real talents have been obscured not only by their slender outputs, but in Cameron's case also by his famous friends, and in Kees's case by his bizarre end - he disappeared without trace.

Against Oblivion): Ian Hamilton

Paul Allen discusses current views on Lenin, the founder and first leader of the Soviet Union, as a new biography uses material from recently opened archives to piece together the public and private lives of one of the colossal figures of modern history. And a new translation of the Icelandic sagas prompts reassessment of some of the greatest works of the medieval world. Plus the last of this week's series on Africa, which looks today at tribal values and conflict in contemporary Nigerian culture.
