Donald Macleod continues his exploration of the life and work of Georges Bizet.
4: The Commune of Paris and Montmartre
On 28 May 1871 after a week of carnage in the streets, the days of the Commune came to an end with the reading of Marshall McMahon's proclamation to the people of Paris. Today Donald Macleod visits the Mur des Fédérés, which commemorates the 147 Communards who were lined up and shot by firing squad, and Bizet's house, situated at the foot of Montmartre.

Sandy Burnett introduces a concert given last week as part of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra's first tour to the USA. The orchestra is heard performing in one of the finest concert halls in the world - Symphony Hall, Boston, home to the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops. Hamish MacCunn's enchanting overture Land of the Mountain and the Flood, which takes its title from The Lay of the Last Minstrel by Walter Scott, opens the programme with a flavour of Scotland and the programme ends with Beethoven's seventh symphony, a work that was described by Wagner as "the apotheosis of the dance". The soloist in Rachmaninov's first piano concerto is Stephen Hough, no stranger to American audiences. The Washington Post has said of his playing, "Unlike so many of his contemporaries, Stephen Hough's awesome technique is only part of a larger musical intelligence and passion. His buttery phrasing, dynamic shading,
Horowitz-like pedaling and uncanny ability to bring forth both the details and the overall structure of a work are nothing short of phenomenal." Stephen Hough (piano), BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, conductor Osmo Vanska

The end of privacy? Richard Coles talks to Lori B Andrews , whose new book Future Perfect examines the way genetic information may change our sense of self and our understanding of personal privacy. And private space is explored in the architecture of Serge Chermayeff , as a new exhibition opens on the great modernist designer who saw domestic interiors as the origins of good building.
