Michael Oliver and director David Pountney discuss Verdi's first Shakespearean opera Macbeth, with illustrations from Claudio Abbado 's recording featuring
Piero Cappuccilli and Shirley Verrett as the fatally ambitious couple. David Pountney ascribes Macbeth's downfall to an over-vivid imagination and his precipitous reaction to the witches' prophecy of future glory. The character of Lady Macbeth also comes under scrutiny, as her passion for action spurs her husband first to regicide and then to further bloodshed,

By Thomas Mann , dramatised by Olwen Wymark. In 1907, Hans Castorp , a young engineer, travels to a sanatorium in the Alps to visit his tubercular cousin Joachim. Before Hans can leave he is himself diagnosed with TB and ends up staying for seven years. He loses all sense of time and gives himself up to a community with its own rules and morality. During his stay
Hans falls in love with a beautiful Russian patient, Clavdia, who does not return his love. She leaves the sanatorium and Hans clings to his illness in orderto wait for her return. It is only the imminent threat of the First World War that at last provokes him to return to the life he left so long ago.
Music composed by Colin Sell. Director Alison Hindell

Schubert's Unfinished Oratorio
A performance of Schubert's incomplete oratorio Lazarus. Subtitled The Feast of the Resurrection, this work is a setting of a text by German theologian August Hermann Niemeyerwhich explores the theology of resurrection through the miracle of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Schubert set about half of the text, breaking off at a point in the second of the three acts where Lazarus is carried away for burial. The music unfolds more symphonically than in a traditional oratorio and includes some of Schubert's most personal, dramatic and adventurous inspirations. Introduced by Paul Guinery and Denis McCaldin. Schubert Lazarus (Acts 1 and 2) Netherlands Radio Chorus and Chamber
Orchestra, conductor Tom Koopman
