Donald Macleod tells the unhappy story of Mussorgsky's final years.

Donald Macleod tells the unhappy story of Mussorgsky's final years - a period which should have been his middle age.

Donald Macleod concludes his exploration of the life and work of Modest Mussorgsky.

He considers the composer's final years - a period which should have been his middle age, but was an unhappy ending. His last opera, Sorochintsy Fair, was left in disembodied form, to be animated, by successive generations of composers. The choice cuts of genuine Mussorgsky that have survived give a tantalising glimpse of what might have been.

Donald Macleod explores the life and work of Modest Mussorgsky, a troubled, radical musical genius whose life was cruelly cut short at the age of 42

Composer of the Week: Musorgsky

5/5. A look at Musorgsky's final years, in which he embarked upon his last opera, Sorochintsy Fair - left unfinished when he died aged 42, leaving successive generations of composers to try to complete it. Choice cuts of genuine Musorgsky that have survived, however, give a tantalising glimpse of what might have been. Presented by Donald Macleod.

Free Thinking 2009

Ian McMillan presents a special edition of Radio 3's cabaret of the word, recorded in front of an audience at the Sage, Gateshead, during the Free Thinking festival.

Peter Flannery
The celebrated dramatist and writer made his name as resident playwright at the Royal Shakespeare Company in the late 1970s. It was there that he wrote Our Friends in the North, later adapting the play into a multi-award winning TV series starring Christopher Eccleston, Daniel Craig and Gina McKee. More recently, he has received plaudits for his ambitious drama The Devil's Whore, set during the chaos of the English Civil War. In 1997 he received the Dennis Potter award for television writing. He talks to Ian about his writing career and presents a sneak preview of a new work - James Miranda Barry, about the life of the swashbuckling 19th-century surgeon and duellist who was revealed, on his deathbed, to be a woman.

Kachi Ozumba
Kachi Ozumba's novel The Shadow of a Smile received plaudits for its portrayal of corruption and unfair imprisonment in the author's native Nigeria. Now living in the UK, Ozumba has made Newcastle his home, and tells Ian McMillan about his struggle to understand Geordie when he first arrived in the city - and how as his growing familiarity with the dialect emboldened him to use Nigerian English (Pidgin) in his novel. 

Alec Finlay and Linda France
Renga is a Japanese poetic form that Alec Finlay calls 'a haiku with consequences.' Alec and Linda have for many years been running workshops all over the country, giving poets and non-poets alike a chance to try their hand at Renga. They discuss adventures with their flat-pack 'Renga Platform', which has travelled with them, and reflect on how Renga can be used to capture images of landscape. 

Beccy Owen
The Newcastle based singer-songwriter plays tracks from her latest album Down With Gravity.

The cabaret of the word, introduced by Ian McMillan and recorded in front of an audience at the Sage Gateshead as part of this year's 
Free Thinking festival. Guests include dramatist Peter Flannery - writer of Our Friends in the North, and Nigerian novelist Kachi Ozumba , who talks about his struggle to understand 
Geordie when he first arrived in the city but says he was in turn emboldened to use Nigerian English - pidgin - in his writing. Producer Laura Thomas
