From the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Musical storytelling through fairy tales, letters and pictures.

Barbara Hannigan's soprano soars over haunting harmonies.

Presented by Paul Guinery.

Twenty Minutes

The Man Who Was Ratty

Introduced by Kevin Jackson. Frederick Furnivall - eccentric Victorian scholar-gypsy - played a crucial part in launching the Oxford English Dictionary (and nearly sinking the project) and he was immortalised in the pedantic figure of the Water Rat in Wind in the Willows. But the true passions of his life were pretty young women and sculling on the river Thames - pleasures he combined by training teams of waitresses to row.

Composer of the Week

Robert Simpson (1921 - 1997)

Part Three

Two musical forms dominate Simpson's oeuvre: the Symphony and the String Quartet. But the composer grew up playing in Salvation Army bands alongside his parents, and the result was a deep-rooted love of brass bands and their repertoire. In conversation with Simpson's friend Stephen Johnson, Donald Macleod explores some of the music Simpson composed for brass.
