Handel Operas 2009

Penny Gore introduces another in Radio 3's year-long series of Handel operas. Written in London in 1713, it's a short piece by Handel's standards and follows the repulsive and somewhat inept Roman dictator, Silla.

Due to the fact that some of the music is missing from Handel's score, this performance has filled in the gaps by using material from other operatic works by Handel - who was known to be a great recycler of his own music.

The programme also features Delius' On Hearing The First Cuckoo in Spring, composed in France, yet considered a perfect evocation of a spring morning in England, and concludes with Sibelius' Fifth Symphony, one of the most popular of all great symphonies.

Night Waves: The Homecoming

The Homecoming

BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, The Homecoming

Philip Dodd with a Night Waves Landmark dedicated to Harold Pinter's play The Homecoming.

Philip Dodd presents a Night Waves Landmark dedicated to Harold Pinter's The Homecoming, a play which, in the eyes of many, confirmed him as Britain's foremost dramatist.

Philip Dodd presents an edition of Night Waves Landmarks devoted to Harold Pinter's play The Homecoming, which first opened in 1965 and, in the eyes of many, confirmed him as Britain's foremost dramatist.

It tells the story of an East End family's reaction to the eldest's son's return from America with his wife, and contains the menacing atmosphere and dark comedy often associated with Pinter's work. The play was first produced on BBC Radio in 1977, and 30 years later in 2007, Harold Pinter himself took on the role of the domineering patriarch Max in a new Radio 3 production.

Philip is joined by Thea Sharrock, Dominic Dromgoole, Roger Michell and Dominic Sandbrook to explore the play and discuss its themes.
