Live from the Barbican. Mahler: Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen. Dvorak: Symphony No 9 (From the New World). Dagmar Peckova (soprano), BBC Symphony Orchestra/Jiri Belohlavek.

From the Barbican, London.

The concert concludes with a work by Mahler, who grew up in a town now located in the Czech Republic, and was strongly influenced by the piquant flavour of local folk music as a youth, as is amply demonstrated in his Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen. This is followed by that most romantic and best-loved of all of Dvorak's symphonies, written in memory of the Czech land he had left behind.

Bill Drummond talks about the future of music and his campaign to end recorded works.

As part of Radio 3's Free Thinking festival 2008, Susan Hitch presents KLF musician and conceptual artist Bill Drummond discussing his campaign against recorded music.

Susan Hitch presents a programme recorded in front of an audience at the FACT arts centre in Liverpool as part of the 2008 Radio 3 Free Thinking festival of ideas. KLF musician and conceptual artist Bill Drummond explains how his life story informs his new thesis on the future of music. 

His latest project, called 17, combines music, art and polemic and involves him travelling up and down the country, assembling choirs choirs composed of 17 members. They perform a work, which is then destroyed in order to illustrate Drummond's theory that recorded music is dead, and that the future lies in the live musical event.

As part of last year's Radio 3 Free Thinking festival of ideas, musician, artist and writer 
Bill Drummond (ex-KLF) explained his new project called simply 17, which stems from his belief that recorded music is dead, and that the future lies in live performances. Presented by Susan Hitch. Producer Eliane Glaser
