Verbier Festival 2004
There are some concerts which will never be forgotten by those who heard them. When baritone Thomas Quasthoff and accompanist James Levine left the stage at last year's Verbier Festival they left an audience barely able to believe the mesmeric performance which it had just witnessed. Stephanie Hughes introduces that concert prefaced by Quasthoff's own thoughts on how to perform Schubert's most demanding of song cycles.
Schubert: Winterreise D 911
Thomas Quasthoff (baritone)
James Levine (piano)

Part Two: Spain
2/4. The guitar is synonymous with Spain, and during the 20th century was equally identified with the great virtuoso Andres Segovia. John Williams looks at the background to his playing, and the works of Tarrega and Llobet, as well as the playing of Segovia's contemporary Regino Sainz de la Maza.
He explores the traditional Spanish music that was adapted for the guitar, and explains why it was for de la Maza, not Segovia, that Rodrigo composed his celebrated Concierto de Aranjuez, the best-known guitar concerto of the 20th century.

Tom Service talks to director Peter Sellars, conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen and video artist Bill Viola about their extraordinary new production of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde which opens in Paris this week, promising to deliver fresh insight into Wagner's operatic masterpiece.
In the UK, a new play Tristan and Yseult opens at the National Theatre and Music Matters calls on psychologists and philosophers to explain why the Tristan myth has endured so strongly since the middle ages - and is still relevant today. And leading musicians talk about their make-or-break career decisions.

Snow
By Orhan Pamuk.
Ka, a poet and political exile, returns to Turkey to write an investigative piece about troubling events in the mysterious, snow shrouded city of Kars; a place haunted by the silences of its own history. Snow is a spectacular tour de force, evoking the spiritual fragility of the non -western world, its ambivalence about the godless West, and its fury.
