In a concert given at Symphony Hall, Birmingham, Oliver Knussen conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Leila Josefowicz in Colin Matthews's new Violin Concerto, along with orchestral showpieces by Britten and Elgar.

Featuring Britten's 1939 Canadian Carnival, which provides an ideal welcome for the return to Birmingham of the Canadian-born virtuoso Leila Josefowicz. She then gives the world premiere of a new concerto written specially for her by the leading British composer Colin Matthews.

The programme concludes with Elgar's portrait of one of Shakespeare's more lovable rogues, Falstaff. With this larger than life character, who is both philosopher and philanderer, Elgar's affectionate piece also tells us a great deal about the composer's own private world in music of great character and good-humour.

Jenny Uglow/Robert Service/Swastika/Inherit the Wind

BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Jenny Uglow/Robert Service/Swastika/Inherit the Wind

With Jenny Uglow, Robert Service, the film Swastika and a new version of Inherit the Wind.

Presented by Anne McElvoy. With author Jenny Uglow, historian of Russia Robert Service, a review of the new film Swastika and Susannah Clapp on a new production of Inherit the Wind.

Anne McElvoy talks to celebrated biographer Jenny Uglow about an extraordinary decade in British history - the 1660s - a time of plague, fire and war, when Britain searched for new ideas by which to live. In her book about Charles II and the Restoration, Uglow profiles the gambling loving monarch whose risk-taking forged the fate of our nation.

Historian of Russia Robert Service, author of a new biography of Trotsky, talks to Anne about how Trotsky captivated a movement. Claire Fox, director of the Institute of Ideas and former publisher of Living Marxism magazine, and writer and Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens discuss Trotsky's influence on their own political thinking, and why his ideas and personal charisma generated followers in the way they did.

Anne also talks to director Philippe Mora about Swastika, his film about Adolf Hitler.

And there is a first-night review by Susannah Clapp of a new production of Inherit the Wind, directed by Trevor Nunn and starring Kevin Spacey. The play centres on the 1925 trial of a teacher accused of violating a Tennessee statute by teaching Darwin's theory of evolution to his students.

Anne McElvoy interviews Jenny Uglow , author of the Lunar Men, about her latest work on the restoration period and the reckless allure of King Charles II. Producer Eliane Glaser

Professor Simon Blackburn examines Voltaire's views on religion and belief.

Simon Blackburn examines Voltaire's views on religion and belief, including his views on the corrupt Church and the complex question of his lingering faith.

The cataclysmic Lisbon earthquake of 1755 in which tens of thousands of people died is Professor Simon Blackburn's starting point for an examination of Voltaire's views on religion and belief. The event occurred on November 1st, All Saints Day, which meant that the churches in one of the godliest cities in Catholic Europe were all packed while the brothels were relatively empty. Where, Voltaire wondered, was divine providence in all this? 

Simon Blackburn carefully explores not only Voltaire's coruscating views on the corrupt and powerful established church but also the complex question of his lingering faith. Above all, he examines the practical effect of Voltaire's ideas, celebrating the role of the Enlightenment in replacing the altars and thrones of an older Europe with the largely secular constitutional democracies that followed. 

Simon Blackburn is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge.
