With Donald Macleod.

In his final years Hummel wrote a series of piano studies and a piano method which encapsulated his experience as a pianist and teacher. His pupils included some of the great pianistic names of the early 19th century, with the exception of Liszt, who was not willing to pay Hummel's high lesson fees. When Hummel died in 1837, his estate was valued at £20,000 - a measure of his phenomenal success.

Vaughan Williams Overture: The Wasps

Elgar Cello Concerto in E minor

8.10 Twenty Minutes: Voices of the Ancient World: 2: Olympic Greeks
Two programmes exploring ancient Greek life.
James Davidson explores the Greeks' obsession with the body brilliant. Poorer Greeks got their muscles from agricultural labour, better-off citizens exercised naked in a gymnasium, and any Spartan man who refused to improve his physique faced expulsion. Would Britain do better at games if we emulated our ancient ancestors?
