European Union Baroque Orchestra/Chiara Banchini in Corelli, Geminiani, Muffat and Handel.

Chiara Banchini directs the European Union Baroque Orchestra in music by composers whose lives intersected in Rome - Italians Corelli and Geminiani, and Germans Muffat and Handel.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

The European Union Baroque Orchestra is an extraordinary ensemble of young musicians fresh from the conservatoires of Europe, selected to take part in the orchestra each year. In this concert from the 2009 Edinburgh International Festival, they showcase their talents in music by composers who were all active in Rome in the late 17th and early 18th centuries - Corelli, Muffat, Geminiani and Handel.

For many Baroque composers, Rome was an important place to visit and study, and both Muffat and Handel absorbed elements of the Italian style whilst staying there, as is evident in their sonatas in this concert. Corelli was one of the most influential musicians in Italy at this time and his concerti grossi were imitated and developed by his successors, including his pupil Geminiani.

BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Stephen Daldry/Utilitarian Architecture/Joseph P Kennedy

Matthew Sweet presents. With director Stephen Daldry and Joseph P Kennedy in Hollywood.

Presented by Matthew Sweet. With director Stephen Daldry, a discussion on utilitarian architecture and biographer Cari Beauchamp on Joseph P Kennedy's Hollywood years.

Matthew Sweet talks to director Stephen Daldry as a revival of his successful production of JB Priestley's An Inspector Calls opens in London. In recent years Daldry's career has taken him to America where he has directed the Oscar-winning films The Reader and The Hours, along with a Broadway production of Billy Elliot which has won a record 10 Tony Awards.

Ed Hollis, author of a new book about the Secret Life of Buildings, and Ruth Reed, the new president of the Royal Institute aof British Architects, talk to Matthew about whether architects should focus more on making existing buildings work for our present purposes, and less on grand and visionary designs.

And biographer Cari Beauchamp discusses the father of the Kennedy dynasty, Joseph P Kennedy, and his little-documented years in Hollywood during which he ran four film companies, became the richest Irish-American in the world and had a long and passionate affair with Gloria Swanson.

Matthew Sweet marks the 300th anniversary of the birth of Samuel Johnson. Producer Fiona McLean

Freya Johnston reflects on how Johnson's direct approach to language lives on even today.

Freya Johnston reflects on how the great dictionary writer Samuel Johnson's direct approach to language and life still influences our everyday use of English today.

Four contemporary writers reflect on the mighty linguistic shadow left by the compiler of the first great dictionary of the English language, Samuel Johnson. Johnson's monumental Dictionary set the standard; after Johnson had pronounced, English could never be the same again. 

In this series four very different writers from across the world reflect on the Johnsonian linguistic heritage as it plays out in their own world and their own lives...

Freya Johnston, lecturer in English at St Anne's College Oxford and author of Samuel Johnson and the Art of Sinking 1709-1791, engages with the language Johnson used which still influences our every day use of English.
