Johannes Brahms was born in Hamburg 150 years ago today. To close the Brahms anniversary season, Richard Baker introduces a performance of A German Requiem, so called by Brahms because the German text he compiled himself from the Bible departs from the traditional Latin. Instead, rather than dwelling on death, it offers hope and comfort for the living.

Andre Previn conducts the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra of which he is music director with soprano Barbara Hendricks baritone Ryan Edwards and the Mendelssohn Choir

(Tales of the Taira Clan) starring Ralzo Ichikawa , Yoshiko Kuga
Twelfth-century Japan: the Emperor has become a monk and retired to a monastery, while retaining both temporal and spiritual power. At the executive level, however, these powers are very much divided-into the Cloister Court and the Imperial Court. As the monks and ministers struggle for supremacy, a young samurai is making plans to overthrow both.
Kenji Mizoguchi 's first colour film evokes beautifully the pomp and panoply of medieval Japan and the rise of the fighting samurai.
