of the Week: Debussy
The Debussy expert Roger Nichols once remarked that" Debussy was more than a soft-centred voluptuary drifting through life on a cloud of disembodied dissonances", and much of the debate surroundingthe music of Claude Debussy is centred on whether or not it is appropriate to link the composer's music with the concepts of impressionism. Today Pierre Boulez considers these ideas in relation to the two of the sets of Images composed by Debussy. With Donald Macleod. Images, Series 1
Jean-Yves Thibaudet (piano)
Rondes de Printemps ; Gigues; Iberia (Images) Cleveland Orchestra, conductor Pierre Boulez

As Spain and Britain consider the possibilities for joint sovereignty of Gibraltar in the face of mass protest by the local population, Patrick Wright visits "the Rock" for the first of Night Waves's cultural maps in Europe. How has the ongoing argument affected the culture of "the Rock" from its literature to its street life? Wright goes walkabout among the island's Muslim and Jewish population, talks to those on both sides of the sovereignty issue and considers the ways in which culture can help the island prepare for the future.
