Donald Macleod explores the end of the Viennese public's love affair with Mozart's music.

Donald Macleod explores the beginning of the end of the Viennese public's love affair with Mozart's music. With the Concerto in E flat, K495.

Donald Macleod explores Mozart's Vienna years, focusing on the importance to the composer of Johann Leutgeb, an old colleague of Mozart's from Salzburg days. Leutgeb was a talented horn player and, somewhat bizarrely, a cheese-shop owner, for whom Mozart wrote several works, including the famous Concerto in E flat, K495.

The programme also looks at the end of the Viennese public's love affair with Mozart's music, as the fun-loving Viennese struggled to keep pace with the intensity of works like the String Quintet in G minor, K516.

BBC Radio 3 - Performance on 3, BBC SO - Salome

BBC SO conducted by Lionel Bringuier perform music by Strauss, Chopin, Ravel and Schmitt.

BBC SO under Lionel Bringuier perform Strauss: Dance of the Seven Veils. Chopin: Piano Concerto No 2 (Nelson Freire, piano). Ravel: La valse. Schmitt: La Tragedie de Salome.

Petroc Trelawny presents a concert given at London's Barbican Hall, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Lionel Bringuier performing Strauss's Dance of the Seven Veils from his one-act opera Salome.

A setting of Oscar Wilde's lyric drama, which drew inspiration from French symbolism and the writings of Stephane Mallarme, Strauss's work dodged the censor in spite of its provocative Dance of the Seven Veils to make headway in the opera house long before Wilde's play was permitted on the stage. The 'Salome craze', which swept like wildfire across fin-de-siecle Europe, inspired everything from Isadora Duncan's erotic dancing to Florent Schmitt's ballet La tragedie de Salome, a precursor to Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.

Constable's Portraits

BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Constable's Portraits

Artist Maggi Hambling discusses John Constable's lesser-known portraits.

Artist Maggi Hambling discusses John Constable's lesser-known portraits, on show at London's National Portait Gallery, and her own of jazz musician George Melly.

Artist Maggi Hambling discusses John Constable's portraits, the focus of a new exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London. Celebrated for his landscape paintings such as The Hay Wain, Constable's work as a portrait painter is far less well-known and, in fact, he produced more than 100 during his career. Hambling - now best-known for her controversial scallop sculpture dedicated to Benjamin Britten in Aldeburgh, and her memorial to Oscar Wilde in central London - talks about this less-explored part of Constable's work and discusses her own portraits - particularly of the jazz musician George Melly.
