BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Arundhati Roy

Bidisha and novelist Arundhati Roy discuss the faultlines threatening India's democracy.

Bidisha talks to novelist Arundhati Roy about Listening to the Grasshoppers, her collection of essays tracking the faultlines that threaten India's democracy.

Bidisha talks to novelist Arundhati Roy about her collection of essays tracking the faultlines that threaten India's democracy. In Listening to the Grasshoppers, Roy warns of shockwaves that will spread throughout the region.

Roy won the Booker Prize in 1997 for her first novel The God of Small Things, a semi-autobiographical work that captures her childhood experiences growing up in Ayemenem. Until she was made financially stable by the success of The God of Small Things, Roy did various jobs, including running aerobics classes at New Delhi five-star hotels.

Since winning the Booker, Roy has concentrated on non-fiction and politics, acting as a spokesperson for the anti-globalisation movement and a vehement critic of the approach to industrialisation and rapid development currently practised in India.

David Owen Norris explores Haydn's approach to working with some of the more unusual instruments, including the baryton, the mechanical organ and the lira organizzata.

Series considering different aspects of Haydn's life, work and reputation.

Broadcaster, pianist and composer David Owen Norris explores the composer's approach to working with some unusual instruments, asking what this little-known aspect of Haydn's music says about his working methods.

Some of these pieces are considered to be of the highest quality. The 126 trios that Haydn wrote for viola, cello and baryton are just one aspect of his work with unusual instruments. He also wrote for the mechanical organ (the nearest the 18th-century came to a record player), and a hybrid of the hurdy-gurdy and chamber organ called the lira organizzata.
