With movements from the iconic Missa Solemnis and Ninth Symphony.

With movements from the iconic Missa Solemnis and Ninth Symphony, and Beethoven's last set of piano bagatelles played on his own fortepiano.

Donald Macleod explores Beethoven's final 12 years, concentrating on movements from the Missa Solemnis and the Ninth Symphony, the two grand public utterances of Beethoven's last decade. The Ninth achieved iconic status almost immediately; the Mass, regarded by the composer as his greatest work, is considered to have been neglected.

Plus Beethoven's last set of piano bagatelles, played on his own fortepiano - a gift from Thomas Broadwood of London.

BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Charles Darwin

Rana Mitter asks who has been the most influential: Charles Darwin or Marx and Freud?

Rana Mitter explores the legacies of the three titans of 20th Century thought - Darwin, Marx and Freud, asking whose ideas have influenced us the most.

As part of the BBC season on Charles Darwin's work, Rana Mitter hosts a programme exploring his legacy, along with two other important figures of 20th Century thought - Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud. 

In 1950 there would have been no question that it was Marx and Freud who were shaping the world to the greatest degree, but 60 years later the tables have turned - and Darwin is apparently the figure with real influence on our age.

Writers explore some of the diverse fields to which Darwin's theories have been applied. Art Historian Diana Donald describes the impact of Darwin on art and aesthetic theory. 

According to Darwin, all beauty in nature served a purpose. His theory of natural selection questioned divine objectivity in aesthetic appreciation, and drew attention from many new schools, such as the impressionists, who regarded themselves as possessing the most highly evolved eyes in nature.
