Donald Macleod explores Schumann's tortuous battle for Clara's hand in marriage. Her father Friedrich Wieck was determined to keep his daughter in his clutches at all costs, and legal battles, lengthy separations and slanderous attacks ensued before, undeterred, Robert and Clara were finally married in 1840 with the blessing of the court.

Musically, this was a fruitful period for Schumann. Donald is joined by pianist Lucy Parham to discuss his epic Fantasy for piano - described by the composer as 'the most passionate thing I have ever written'.

Petroc Trelawny presents the BBC Philharmonic under Reinbert de Leeuw in a performance of works by Messiaen: Le tombeau resplendant; Poemes pour Mi; Un sourire; and Chronchromie.

As part of Radio 3's celebration of the centenary of Olivier Messiaen in 2008, the BBC Philharmonic perform an-all Messiaen programme conducted by Reinbert de Leeuw, a committed advocate of the French composer's music.

Featuring Poemes pour Mi, the composer's love-letter to his first wife Claire Delbos, followed by Un sourire, written only a few months before Messiaen died to mark the bicentenary of Mozart's death.

The concert ends with his Chronochromie, which merges the Greek words cronos and croma - time and colour - and plays on the interaction between these two in musical terms.

Philip Dodd asks what Milton's classic text Samson Agonistes tells us about terrorism.

Philip Dodd discusses Milton's classic text Samson Agonistes, and whether Samson's suicidal act of destruction condones terrorism, as some scholars claim, or should be reassessed.

As part of BBC Radio 3's season marking the 400th anniversary of John Milton's birth in 2008, Philip Dodd discussions his classic text Samson Agonistes. There has been much scholarly debate over whether Milton's dramatic poem, condones or criticises Samson's suicidal and genocidal attack on the Philistines. Since 9/11, that debate has taken on a topical urgency. Some scholars have questioned whether the work should be taught in schools, while others have regarded the notion of a terrorist act at the centre of Western Christian and literary history as a positive corrective to prevailing stereotypes.
