France was at the centre of the radical developments in ballet during the early years of the 20th century. Leading this new movement was the famous Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev, whose collaborators included Stravinsky and Milhaud, Picasso and Rouault, and Fokine and Nijinsky.

A concert given last Friday in the Royal Festival Hall, London. The BBC Symphony Orchestra's exploration of the music of Zemlinsky continues with a performance of his delightful orchestral fantasy "The Mermaid", after the tale by Hans Christian Andersen. Withdrawn by the composer after its premiere, it has since found a place in the repertoire. And Rolf Hind gives the UK premiere of Bent Sorensen's piano concerto La Notte.

Shikibu Murasaki is arguably Japan's greatest writer, yet so little is known of this 12th-century aristocrat that even her name is a construct. Richard Coles discusses a new fictionalised memoir of Murasaki and assesses the legacy of her great work The Tale of Genji. Plus first-night news from Birmingham, where Quarantine, Jim Crace's novel about the temptation of Christ, opens in a new stage version.
