Healing
A series of four programmes for the Easter season presented by one of Britain?s leading theologians.
Dr Tom Wright, Bishop of Durham, reflects in words and music on spiritual issues confronting modern society. He sees healing ? both of individuals and societies - as an essential part of a journey from winter into spring. One way to achieve this may lie through the imagination, fuelled by art, and Tom Wright chooses music by Beethoven, Brahms, Bernstein and Richard Strauss to illustrate his point.

Is Modernism Now Dead?
Is Modernism Now Dead?
With the generation of Boulez, Stockhausen and Ligeti approaching their 80s, have the atonalities and intellectualism of their music given way to less demanding minimalism?In other arts, gritty theories have been replaced by straightforward crowd pleasers - Jeff Koons in place of Jackson Pollock, Alan Bennett instead of Samuel Beckett.
Can we now write off half a century of modernism as an aberration and wallow in lukewarm 21st century waters? Was the modernist wave as destructive as conservatives made out? Or did some good come of it? And do audiences want it?

A Rebel with a cause - Pierre Boulez at 80
No one in contemporary music arouses such fierce passion as the eminent conductor and composer Pierre Boulez, who celebrates his 80th birthday later this week. At one time a young firebrand who wanted to blow up opera houses, he's now an immensely powerful and much resented figure in the musical world.
Ivan Hewett looks at the enigmatic, restless creator behind the public figure, through interviews with friends and colleagues such as the conductor, Daniel Barenboim, the composers Betsy Jolas, George Benjamin and Maurice Jarre, the pianist, Pierre-Laurent Aimard and critics in London, France and New York.
