Michael Berkeley's guest today is the "lost soprano" Kyra Vane, whose life has been described as an operatic plot in itself. Her White Russian family fled to London after the 1917 Revolution, and she began her theatrical career at the age of 18. By the end of the war she had embarked on a flourishing international operatic career, only to disappear abruptly into total obscurity after her manager's death in 1957. Her recordings were rediscovered in the nineties and she became an overnight celebrity. In 1997, aged 81, she released her first studio recording on CD. Her choices today reflect aspects of her unusual career.

Steve Beresford presents a series built on a rare in-depth interview with virtuoso jazz saxophonist John Zorn.

Perceiving a spiritual link between free jazz and thrash metal, Zorn embraced the music of Napalm Death. The resulting groups - Naked City and Painkiller - provoked a level of critical disquiet unseen in the jazz world since the late Sixties.
