Aled Jones celebrates the anniversaries of two 20th Century composers.

Since his death in 1957, Sibelius' international reputation has rested largely on his symphonies and orchestral music. However, his musical legacy also includes a substantial body of choral music and we hear a selection of some of these lesser known, but equally appealing, pieces.

Plus to mark the centenary of French composer and organist Jean Langlais' birth, there's a chance to hear his colourful Missa Salve Regina, written for the unusual forces of male voice chorus, unison voices, two organs and an octet of brass instruments.

David Vaughan explores the life and work of the poet Ivan Blatny.

The Poetic World of Newt: 'Newt' was the name on the secret police file in Communist Prague masking the identity of the poet Ivan Blatny. David Vaughan explores his life and poetry.

The Poetic World of Newt

The name Newt on the secret police file in Communist Prague masked the identity of the poet Ivan Blatny. In his twenties, Blatny was one of the central figures in the cultural avant-garde, but when the Communists came to power in 1948 he defected to Britain, much to the fury of the Czechoslovak authorities, who opened a secret file on him and attempted to lure Newt back.

In the years that followed, his mental health gradually deteriorated and he spent most of the rest of his life in various psychiatric hospitals. David Vaughan explores the life and the poetry of Blatny, travelling to Brno to meet his family, to Prague to the see the police files and, poignantly, to the psychiatric hospitals in Suffolk where Blatny died in 1990.

Blatny continued to write poetry to his dying day, on scraps of paper salvaged by his nurse Frances Meacham, and his reputation is confirmed by the testimonies of the former playwright and president Vaclav Havel and by leading Czech writer Josef Skvorecky.
