Donald Macleod explores Rachmaninov's three-year creative block.

Donald Macleod explores Rachmaninov's three-year creative block, which he eventually overcomes with the help of a noted Moscow hypnotist. Featuring Piano Concerto No 2.

In this week's edition of Composer of the Week, Donald Macleod explores the life and music of Sergei Rachmaninov. 

In Tuesday's programme, Rachmaninov hits a three-year creative roadblock. He visits his hero Tolstoy hoping for a pep talk, but instead finds a 'thoroughly disagreeable man'. Eventually he gets back on track with the help of a noted Moscow hypnotist, Dr Dahl, who manages to snap him out of his lethargy. Then the floodgates opened - the results included his opera Francesca da Rimini, the 2nd Piano Concerto, one of his most enduringly popular works, and the Cello Sonata - Donald Macleod introduces extracts from all of these.

Presented by Martin Handley. The Scottish Ensemble perform Thea Musgrave's Green.

Presented by Martin Handley. A Scottish Ensemble concert celebrating Thea Musgrave's 80th birthday with her newly-commissioned work Green. Plus music by Adams, Reich and Copland.

Presented by Martin Handley.

In a concert given at Glasgow's City Halls, the Scottish Ensemble, directed by Jonathan Morton, celebrates the 80th birthday of composer Thea Musgrave with Green, a newly-commissioned work, which, the composer says, is about conflict, expressed by the clash of opposing musical forces.

Along with classic American works by Adams and Copland, the programme includes Steve Reich's Clapping Music, a minimalist piece dating from 1972. It is written for two performers and, as the title implies, is performed entirely by clapping.

Isabel Hilton on how African thinkers are rejecting the idea of foreign aid. Western countries want to help poverty-stricken countries, but does their help exacerbate problems?

Isabel Hilton hears how some African thinkers are now rejecting the idea of overseas aid. Western countries want to help poverty-stricken countries - but does their help exacerbate, not alleviate, problems? 

Dambisa Moyo, a Zambian banker based in London, wants to destroy the myth that it actually works. In her new book, she controversially argues that globalisation and the financial markets - often blamed for Africa's problems - are an opportunity for its success. Isabel challenges Dambisa to put her case to a group of guests.

Philip Dodd is joined by Dambisa Moyo , a Zambian banker based in London, to find out why some African thinkers are now rejecting the idea of Overseas aid. Producer Eliane Glaser
