Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943): 4/5. Donald Macleod explores Rachmaninov's friendship with Russian bass Fyodor Chaliapin, and the composer's first concert tour of America.

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

Thursday's programme looks at Rachmaninov's life-long friendship with the famous Russian bass Fyodor Chaliapin, and sees the composer on his first concert tour of America, where he performed his specially-written 3rd Piano Concerto with the New York Philharmonic conducted by their new Music Director, Gustav Mahler. Back in Russia, Rachmaninov, evidently a bit of a speed-freak, bought a new car, a Loreley, but he would only have a few years to enjoy it -it was destined, perhaps, to become the proud possession of some Bolshevik bigwig. Donald Macleod introduces extracts from three of the last works Rachmaninov composed on Russian soil.

BBC Radio 3 - Performance on 3, London Symphony Orchestra/Gergiev

LSO/Valery Gergiev, perform Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring and Bartok: Bluebeard's Castle.

With Martin Handley. As part of their Emigre: The Rite of Spring season, the LSO under Valery Gergiev perform Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring and Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle.

Presented by Martin Handley.

As part of their Emigre - The Rite of Spring season, the London Symphony Orchestra, under their chief conductor Valery Gergiev, perform two early 20th century classics. Stravinsky's seminal The Rite of Spring, written for Nijinsky's ballet, centres on a prehistoric community which selects a young virgin for ecstatic human sacrifice.

Less feted than Stavinsky's work, Bartok's opera Duke Bluebeard's Castle is loosely based on a folk tale. Bluebeard's new wife Judith insists on opening the locked doors inside his castle, and in doing so she reveals the ugly world of his past which she should have best left undiscovered.

Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses

BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses

Matthew Sweet explores the legacy of the fatwa issued against Salman Rushdie in 1989.

Matthew Sweet and guests explore the legacy of the fatwa issued against Salman Rushdie in 1989 after he published his novel The Satanic Verses.

Matthew Sweet presents a Night Waves Landmark dedicated to one of the most politically controversial novels of recent times - Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses.

Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa on Valentine's Day in 1989, calling for the writer's death for what was seen as an insult to the prophet Muhammad in the book. It caused Rushdie to go into hiding and created an international cause celebre, whose reverberations can still be felt today.

Matthew and a round-table of guests from all sides of the dispute discuss the legacy of the Rushdie affair, examining the broader issues it raised, such as the value of freedom of expression, the question of whether art can offend and the place of Islam and multiculturalism in British society.
