BBC Radio 3 - Music Feature, Reviving Robin

Kathryn Stott tells the story of how Michael Tippett's Robin Hood came to be written.

In a documentary which contains previously unbroadcast musical material, pianist Kathryn Stott tells the story of how Michael Tippett's ballad opera Robin Hood came to be written.

The pianist Kathryn Stott tells the story of how, in 1934, the young Communist party member Michael Tippett inspired a depressed mining community in Cleveland with his very first opera, based on the legend of Robin Hood. The work has remained hidden with strict instructions that it never be performed again, but 75 years later residents of Boosbeck in east Cleveland have come together in an ambitious attempt to recreate the project - in the bar of the town's Station Hotel. 
 
Producer:  Celia Quartermain.

Lucie Skeaping profiles the blind 18th-century organist and composer John Stanley.

Lucie Skeaping profiles 18th-century organist, violinist and composer John Stanley, blind from the age of two, but who succeeded in the music world thanks to his memory.

Lucie Skeaping explores the life and music of John Stanley who, despite a tragic accident that left him blind at the age of two, became very successful in the 18th-century music world, partly thanks to his remarkable memory. As a composer he wrote numerous concertos, sonatas, cantatas and anthems; as a player of both the violin and the organ he attracted listeners from far and wide - and he directed several Handel cantatas and the Messiah from memory.

Daljit Nagra's new poetic narrative inspired by his uncle's shops in west London.

British-Indian poet Daljit Nagra's new poetic narrative inspired by his uncle's two shops in west London - where Muslim, Sikh and Hindu workers share a tiny working space.

Award-winning British-Indian poet Daljit Nagra has written a poetic narrative inspired by his uncle's two shops in west London, where Muslim, Sikh and Hindu workers have created a small working community in a tiny shared space - Bal Bazaar.

Bal Bazaar is a journey through the shop and through Indian cultures in Britain, both real and imagined. Shop owners tell their stories: a hairdresser snips her way through the day, while a Muslim butcher explains how he is really an IT worker covering for his brother who has cancer. Bal Bazaar hints at the religious and political - a story of faked Halal meat - and a world of religious festival and song. It also tells the common human stories of food, hair cutting and the every day, domestic life within the shopkeepers' community.
