Louis Spohr (1784-1859)

BBC Radio 3 - Composer of the Week, Louis Spohr (1784-1859), Episode 4

Donald Macleod considers how Spohr laid the musical foundations for other composers.

Donald Macleod considers how Louis Spohr laid the musical foundations for other more famous composers, such as Berlioz, Bruckner, Strauss and Mahler.

Donald Macleod explores the life and work of Louis Spohr, considering how he laid the musical foundations for other more famous composers.

If history has not been as generous to Spohr as perhaps it might, one reason could be the high wall of Romanticism that seems to stand between us and the composer. The gracious elegance of Spohr's classicism seems altogether less grand than the gestures that were to follow from the pens of Berlioz, Bruckner, Mahler, Strauss and others, who he influenced.

Donald Macleod reassesses the reputation of Louis Spohr

Donald Macleod reassesses Louis Spohr's reputation, arguing that we should give him more credit than he often receives

Composer of the Week: Spohr

4/5. The gracious elegance of Spohr's classicism seems altogether less grand than the gestures that were to follow. Yet Spohr was a figure whose music laid many of the foundations that later composers would build on. With Donald Macleod.

The Misanthrope/Jean-Paul Sartre/Marcus Du Sautoy/Winter Rituals

BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Sacred Monsters, The Misanthrope/Jean-Paul Sartre/Marcus Du Sautoy/Winter Rituals

Rana Mitter discusses Moliere's The Misanthrope and re-assesses Jean-Paul Sartre.

Rana Mitter reassesses the reputation of philosopher Jean-Paul Satre. While he was once seen as an intellectual giant, today his existentialist ideas are seen by some as dated.

Rana Mitter reviews one of the starriest of 2009's openings in the West End, as Keira Knightley, Damien Lewis and Tara Fitzgerald star in Martin Crimp's updated adaptation of Moliere's The Misanthrope. 

To conclude a special series considering some of important cultural figures who have seen their reputations wither in the last decades, Rana is joined by Jonathan Ree and Andrew Hussey to re-assess the work of existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. He used his fame to become a prominent political and social campaigner, and was revered not just for his intellect but for his liberal principles. Yet since his death Sartre has come to be regarded by some as a figure of fun, a cliche of obscure and irrelevant complication whose thought has little relevance in general life. Existentialism is often dismissed and Sartre himself is criticised for being anti-feminist

Rana also talks to professor of the public understanding of science Marcus Du Sautoy, about the challenges of his role as an ambassador for the subject, particularly in the light of recent controversies in climate change research and Government targets for university research.

And finally, looking forward to Christmas and the New Year, Rana examines the role that these annual rituals of renewal play in our lives. As we reach the end of a year and a decade, anthropologist Juliette Wood and the Rev Richard Coles explore the ancient roots and contemporary relevance of the annual winter jamboree.

Series on cultural figures who have seen their reputations wither in the last decades

Series considering some of the big cultural figures who have seen their reputations wither in the last decades. Are they worth reviving or is it right they are no longer as important

Rana Mitter and guests Jonathan Ree and Michelle Roberts discuss the father of existentialism, Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-80), who was revered not only for his intellect but also for his liberal principles. Yet since his death, Sartre - who once said that "hell is other people" - has become a cliche of obscure and irrelevant complication, and often perceived as anti-feminist.
