THE NEW CHINA

Christopher Cook visits the largest piano factory in China, where pianos pour off assembly lines like motor cars. What is the continuing appeal of this most western of musical instruments? And will they ever build the opera house in Beijing described by its critics as "a giant egg floating in a puddle"? Who really wants western opera in China? Also, policing the pirates in a country where 90 per cent of all the pre-recorded music sold is on pirated CDs and tapes. Producers Radek Boschetty and Rachel Hopkin

Jean Sibelius. Hilary Finch considers some of the historic and pioneering recordings of the music of Sibelius in the BBC archives, all of which were made in the composer's own lifetime. The programme includes a performance of the seventh symphony given by Thomas Beecham in the 1950s, and an interview with Sibelius himself.
Sibelius is featured in the new series of BBC Legends CDs available in shops now.

The Art of Fugue. The unfinished state of Bach's The Art of Fugue leaves questions as to his true intention for the work - if it was intended for performance, what instruments did he have in mind? Anthony Burton explores some modern solutions.
THE NEW CHINA

Ian Buruma talks to Chinese artists about how their cultural relationship with China shapes and determines their work whereverthey are or go in the world. From mainland China but now living in exile in London, the poet Yang Lian reflects on the democracy protests of 1989 in and around Tian'anmen Square in Beijing and the power they continue to have. From Taiwan, the novelist Huang Pao-Lien talks about growing up on the island but always feeling she belonged on the invisible mainland where Chineseness was made and defined.
Other artists from Hong Kong who are American-Chinese - the children of emigrants - find it impossible to escape from the idea of China but essential to negotiate paths away from the ancient country still very much alive in the modern world. Can they ever be anything but-Chinese?

By Robert Ferguson. Female emancipation was just one of the social effects of the writings of Norway's great poet and playwright Henrik Ibsen. But the author of Ghosts, A Doll's House, Peer Gynt and An Enemy of the People was possessed of his own great secret - an illegitimate son and his forgotten mother. Paul Scofield stars as Henrik Ibsen.
Music composed by Julie Cooper and played by Sophie Langdon (violin), Gordon Hunt (oboe) and Julie Cooper (piano). Director Ned Chaillet
