Catherine Bott presents the LSO/Bernard Haitink. Schubert: Symphony No 8 (Unfinished). Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde (Christianne Stotijn - mezzo, Anthony Dean Griffey - tenor).

Presented by Catherine Bott.

In a concert given at London's Barbican Hall, Bernard Haitink conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in a pair of works from the beginning and the end of the Romantic period in music.

It features Schubert's Symphony No 8 in B minor, begun in 1822, six years before he eventually died. Although the composer finished only two movements, they have become some of the best-loved music in the repertoire. It is followed by Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth), in which his preoccupation with symphonies and song cycles converged. A moving farewell to life, it premiered soon after his death in 1911.

From the infamous Myra Hindley to the shocking recent case of paedophile Vanessa George, society is both fascinated and horrified by the minds of women involved in these most serious crimes - especially when they involve abuse of children. How could a woman do such things? 

In a talk called 'the woman's right to be evil', Dr Gwen Adshead, consultant psychotherapist at Broadmoor high-security psychiatric hospital, who works with the violent and the mentally disturbed, attempts to confront some of the most uncomfortable implications of our attitudes to violent women

Kitty Fitzgerald on the life of Gertrude Bell, author of the 1921 map of modern Iraq.

Kitty Fitzgerald explores the achievements of Gertrude Bell, and archaeologist, army intelligence officer and mountaineer who created the controversial map of modern Iraq in 1921.

Free Thinking 2009

A series recorded in front of an audience as part of the Free Thinking ideas festival. It focuses on free-thinking figures and institutions in North-East England whose ideas challenged their times.

Kitty Fitzgerald gets inside the mind of the enigmatic Gertrude Bell, who was instrumental in drawing up the controversial map of modern Iraq in 1921, the consequences of which still resonate today. She was also an archaeologist, linguist and the greatest female mountaineer of her age. 

Born in County Durham in 1868, she was the first woman to be given an Oxford degree and the first female army officer to work for British Military Intelligence. And yet, she was opposed to votes for women.
