2/5. Rossini moved to Naples, then the capital of the operatic world, where he met the woman who became his own personal prima donna - Isabella Col bran, later Mrs Rossini. And in Vienna he encountered Beethoven, who told him to stick to comedy. Happily for posterity, Rossini respectfully ignored the advice. Today's programme includes excerpts from his tragic masterpiece Ermione, which Rossini liked to call his little William Tell.

4.00 The Making of Music
17/30. Handel. Performances of the music James Naughtie mentions in his Radio 4 series. Under a German king. a German composer made English music great. He invented English oratorio, and wrote works like Messiah, which became one of the foundation stones of the English choral tradition.
Sean Rafferty presents music and arts news.
The second of two concerts this week in which Thomas Ades conducts leading orchestras in concerts given at the Snape Maltings. If last night's concert contained an air of decadence then tonight's is infused with nostalgia as composers borrow ideas and music of the past. Stravinsky's affectionate pastiche of 18th-century music sits comfortably alongside two homages to
Francois Couperin , including Ades's own re-clothing of the French composer's keyboard music in startling new orchestral colours.
