After more than a decade in two of the most important musical jobs in Britain - chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and musical director at
Glyndebourne - Andrew Davis is on his way to a new life in Chicago. A familiar personality from the Last Night of the Proms, he retraces the contours of a musical journey that began even before his days at King's College, Cambridge, taking in such 20th-century mountains as Birtwistle's Mask of Orpheus, and Elgar's final symphony.

Richard Eyre , one of the country's greatest theatre directors, makes his radio debut in this production of Shakepeare's bloody tragedy, set in a tribal Scotland that is savage but also civilised. To direct a radio play, Eyre observes, you have to close your eyes to the microphones, to the actors clustered around them, to the swatches of chain mail attached to their jeans, and to the studio assistants clashing swords like cutlery. "Close your eyes and you're on a blasted heath."
Director Richard Eyre. Music composed by Dominic Muldowney. Executive producer Kate Rowland
