Pianist Imogen Cooper performs an all-Schubert recital at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall. Plus a Nielsen chamber music focus.

Presented by Martin Handley.

Well-known for her sensitive and lyrical playing, pianist Imogen Cooper performs an all-Schubert recital as part of the 2008-2009 International Piano Series at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall. Her programme begins with two lieder, followed by two sonatas, both written in 1825. The A minor Sonata was one of the few to be published in Schubert's lifetime and was dedicated to Beethoven's staunch patron Archduke Rudolph; the D reflects an idyllic summer where Schubert was transfixed by the beauty of the Austrian countryside.

Imogen Cooper (piano)

Schubert: Drei Klavierstucke, D946; Sonata in A minor, D845; Sonata in D, D850.

Followed by a Nielsen chamber music focus, including recordings from the BBC archives.

Matthew Sweet interviews Auschwitz survivor and human rights judge Thomas Buergenthal.

Matthew Sweet interviews Holocaust survivor Thomas Buergenthal whose new memoir describes his childhood experiences in Auschwitz and his subsequent career as a human rights judge.

Matthew Sweet interviews Holocaust survivor Thomas Buergenthal, whose memoir A Lucky Child describes his experience in Nazi death camps and his subsequent career as a human rights judge at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. He talks about how his past has informed his understanding of modern-day war crimes.

Theatre directors Felix Barrett and Tom Morris discuss their revival of Tom Stoppard's musical play Every Good Boy Deserves Favour. Set in a Soviet asylum, the play focuses on two dissidents, one of whom believes he is surrounded by an orchestra. Barrett and Morris explain why they feel the play continues to resonate more than 30 years after it was written. 

Historians Bettany Hughes and Jeffrey Richards join Matthew to discuss how ancient Greece and Rome were captured on celluloid in the days of silent film. And, as the economic recession deepens, Night Waves looks back at the flourishing of arts and culture which took place in America after the Great Depression and the announcement of the New Deal.

Matthew Sweet interviews Holocaust survivor 
Thomas Buergenthal. At the age of seven Buergenthal was imprisoned in Nazi ghettos and camps, and separated from his parents in Auschwitz. He was liberated by Soviet and Polish troops at the age of 11 and reunited with his mother a year and a half later. The rest of his family and almost all of his friends were killed. Now a judge at the International Court in the Hague, he shows how his past has informed his understanding of the war crimes he has to adjudicate on. Producer Aasiya Lodhi
