As a new biography of the great astronomer
Galileo Galilei chronicles the events that led to his condemnation by the Inquisition as a heretic, a look at the Vatican's venerable relationship with astronomy. Scientists and theologians have often been at loggerheads, yet the Vatican Observatory is one of the oldest scientific research institutions in the world. Philip Dodd and his guests discuss the Catholic Church's engagement with the night sky. Producer Thomas Morris
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma is joined by members of his Silk Road
Ensemble to perform music from China and Central Asia. Presented by Tom Service.
Elgar Season
2/4. Elgar and Religion. Four commentators reflect on aspects of Elgar in the context of his time, and explore the contradictions and enigmas in his complex and paradoxical personality. Elgar's masterpiece The Dream of Gerontius was given a notoriously inadequate first performance, which may have undermined the composer's Catholic faith. After Gerontius he began a trilogy of oratorios based on the life of Christ and the Apostles but completed only two of them - The Apostles and The Kingdom. Pianist and conductor Stephen Hough , himself a Catholic, wonders how deeply Eigar's faith was rooted.
Fiona Talkington brings together music by Nico Muhly , Thomas Weelkes , Steve Reich and Bjork.
