In the first of two Proms under the baton of its new music director, the Dutch orchestra performs Mahler's massive Sixth Symphony. The fateful hammer blows of the work's finale seem to prophesy the tragedies that the composer himself was soon to face: of his daughter's death and the diagnosis of his own fatal heart condition. Presented by Andrew McGregor.

2/2. In Defence of Culture. In another of Frances Stonor Saunders 's programmes about some of the most portentous gatherings in history, she looks at the huge First International Congress of Writers for the Defence of Culture, convened in Paris in 1935.

Andre Malraux , EM Forster , Andre Gide , Aldous Huxley and Bertolt Brecht, were amongst the 220 delegates from 40 countries. The agenda was dominated by the question of how to respond to the spectre of the new dictatorships and the social chaos that was growing around them. Producer Matthew Dodd
