BBC Radio 3 - Performance on 3, London Philharmonic Orchestra - Schnittke: Between Two Worlds

London Philharmonic/Vladimir Jurowski in music by Haydn, Wagner and Schnittke.

London Philharmonic/Vladimir Jurowski. Haydn: Symphony No 22. Wagner: Prelude and Good Friday Spell (Parsifal). Schnittke: The History of D Johann Faustus (excerpts) - UK premiere.

Presented by Catherine Bott.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra and Vladimir Jurowski give the first concert in their festival 'Schnittke: Between Two Worlds'. The programme reflects the festival's title, whether in the battle between paganism and Christianity of Wagner's Parsifal or in Faust's dilemma as he contemplates selling his soul to the devil in the UK premiere of Schnittke's The History of D Johann Faustus.

Haydn's Symphony No 2 was nicknamed The Philosopher because of the dialogue that seems to take place in the first two movements. The concert concludes with Schnittke's work, which was conceived as a hugely amibitions opera, and one that the composer never completed. It is an imaginative and dramatic work scored for chorus, orchestra, electric guitars, crumhorn, zither and lute.

Hans Magnus Enzensberger

BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Hans Magnus Enzensberger

Philip Dodd talks to leading German poet and intellectual Hans Magnus Enzensberger.

Philip Dodd travels to Munich to talk to Hans Magnus Enzensberger, regarded as Germany's greatest living poet and a natural successor to Bertolt Brecht.

Philip Dodd travels to Munich for a rare, extended conversation with Hans Magnus Enzensberger, arguably Germany's greatest living poet. He is regarded by many to be Bertolt Brecht's natural successor and is an intellectual admired across Europe.

As well as being a poet, Enzensberger is a radical cultural essayist and one of the Continents leading political thinkers. He was born in 1930, and his verse and his many essays all bear the stamp of his engagement with the world. His most famous collection of poetry The Sinking of the Titanic addressed what he saw as the foundering of western society; in recent years he has spoken out on the issue of Islamism.

As well as discussing his life in writing, he talks about his latest book The Silences of Hammerstein, which blends documentary, collage and fictional interviews to tell the story of General Kurt von Hammerstein - one of the very few men in Germany's military elite who refused to bow to Nazism and share in its spoils.

Philip Dodd travels to Munich to meet Hans Magnus Enzenberger, one of Germany's greatest living poets. Producer Zahid Warley

Mary Wollstonecraft

Series exploring the work of Enlightenment philosopher and writer Mary Wollstonecraft

Series exploring the work of Enlightenment philosopher and writer Mary Wollstonecraft. Dubbed the first feminist, she became a role model in the 20th-century fight for gender equality

2/5. When the young Mary Wollstonecraft first read the work of the Swiss philosopher Jean-
Jacques Rousseau (1712-78), she thought she had found a soul mate. Later, researching A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, she came to recognise a less attractive side of her former hero. Janet Todd describes Wollstonecraft's discovery of Rousseau's divisive recommendations for the upbringing of boys and girls in his best-known work Emile.
