from the Borromean Islands
Presented by Roy Lancaster In the middle of Lake Maggiore, opposite Stresa in northern Italy, are the Borromean Islands - Isola Bella and Isola Madre; each a plantsman's paradise.
Isola Bella was purchased in 1630 by Count Carlo Borromeo III, here he decided to build a palace and a garden for his wife Isobella. Today the results of his work have made Isola Bella the most famous of Italian gardens. It's a cathedral of flowers and sculpture - a shrine to nature.
Long before the Borromean family purchased Isola Bella, San Carlo Borromeo used to visit Isola Madre, or Mother Island, to pray in a small chapel. In 1502 Lancellotto Borromeo purchased Isola
Madre and built a palace and a garden. Unlike Isola Bella, Isola Madre offered ideal gardening conditions which have been exploited by succeeding generations of the Borromeo family. Production assistant CHRISTINE HARDMAN

A Brother with Perfect
Timing
Abdullah Ibrahim formerly Dollar Brand, pianist, composer, arranger, was bom in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1934. When Duke Ellington heard him in 1965 he was so impressed that he arranged for Ibrahim to move to
America where he quickly became a leading figure in the jazz avant-garde.
He has since lived and worked in exile in New York, developing a blend of jazz and the traditional styles of South Africa that have recently become fashionable in the West. Tonight's Arena moves between New York and the relics of the Cape Town he grew up in, explaining his beautiful, evocative music and the stories and feelings that inspired it.
