One of the most fascinating paradoxes of Richard Strauss is that he was blessed with a musical language of immense popular appeal; yet one would need to look hard to find a composer who was less motivated byfeelings of kinship towards his fellow man. Today Donald Macleod investigates how these characteristics manifest themselves in Strauss's music.

Sean Rafferty presents music and arts news and takes a look at the latest CD releases.
A modern take on the Manon Lescaut story in Hans Werner Henze's first opera, newly staged by Nikolaus Lehnhoffforthe Royal Opera House. German soprano Alexandra von der Weth, acclaimed as Manon in Massenet's famous opera, and Swedish tenor Par Lindskog make their Covent Garden debuts as the good-time girl and the young Armand des Grieux, whose on-off relationship leads to the inevitable unhappy ending. Under the thumb of her streetwise dropout brother Lescaut - who is also her pimp - Henze's Manon murders her ageing sugar-daddy Lilaque while Armand snorts cocaine peddled by Lescaut. Presented by Chris de Souza in conversation with the singers and the production team.
