Christoph Willibald Gluck (1714-1787)
Part Three
Gluck regarded his opera Alceste as one of his greatest achievements. He was keen to impress audiences in both Vienna and Paris and, as with Orfeo ed Euridice, he wrote two versions to accommodate his audiences' tastes. Donald Macleod introduces extracts from the French version and takes a look at the last of the trilogy of Gluck's so-called 'reform operas'.

Plato and the Musicians
Plato's The Republic was one of Nielsen's bedside books while he was composing The Inextinguishable, but Plato ultimately decided to banish musicians from his utopia. Cultural historian and former rock musician Gary Lachman explores Plato's influence on Nielsen, and examines how some more recent forms of music - such as rock and roll, trance and rap - continue to play a subversive role in society.
