Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

In a concert given at the Royal Festival Hall, London, Japanese pianist Mitsuko Uchida performs works of the Viennese masters. A celebrated performer of the music of the Second Viennese school - Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, whose compositions revolutionised music in the early years of the 20th century - Uchida lived for a while in the Austrian capital, where she was taught by the great Wilhelm Kempff.

Among other works, the programme features Webern's Variations, Op 27, in which the composer took the 12-note teachings of Schoenberg to the furthest point, with his intricate prismatic manipulation of the tone row.

Errol Flynn/ Acropolis Museum/ Dominique Moisi/ Roger McGough

BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Errol Flynn/ Acropolis Museum/ Dominique Moisi/ Roger McGough

Matthew Sweet talks to Olivia de Havilland about her one-time co-star Errol Flynn.

Matthew Sweet talks to screen icon Olivia de Havilland about Errol Flynn, classicist Mary Beard reports from the Acropolis Museum in Athens and Roger McGough discusses Moliere.

Matthew Sweet marks the 100th birthday of an icon of cinema, Errol Flynn, by talking to another one - Flynn's one-time co-star Olivia de Havilland. She takes Matthew on a lyrical and personal journey into a bygone age of cinema.

Classicist Mary Beard reports from the opening of the Acropolis museum in Athens, asking whether the gleaming new building changes a very old debate about the return of the Elgin Marbles, which are kept at the British Museum.

Leading French geopolitical thinker Dominique Moisi explains why international relations should be understood not as the exchange of economics, armies and power projection, but as an arena of emotion - of humiliation, hope and of fear. 

And poet Roger McGough discusses his recently-discovered admiration for the 17th-century French playwright and humorist, Moliere.

Matthew Sweet marks the centenary of the birth of film actor Errol Flynn - a swashbuckling hero on screen and notorious for some of his off-screen behaviour in Hollywood. Born in Tasmania, Flynn came to epitomise the suave action-hero in the years before the Second World War from his roles as Robin Hood to the Elizabethan Earl of Essex. 
Should we regard him as anything more than a man trapped in his time, or does he still have appeal? Producer James Cook
