John Dowland - The Man and the Myth
John Dowland was one of the greatest musicians of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, and information about his life is quite plentiful. Why then, do so many inconsistencies about the man remain?

Meanwhile, Catherine Bott talks to Dr Helen Hackett about the life and poetry of one of the ladies of the time, Lady Mary Wroth.
Dowland: Flow my tears; Tell me true love; Weep you no more, sad fountains; O sweet words, the delight of solitarienesse; Unquiet Thoughts; I saw my lady weep; Sweet Stay Awhile; Go Crystal Tears

Silence, Exile and Cunning
What should a German artist do under the Nazis? Most who hated Hitler fled the country, but not the passionately pacifist and anti-fascist composer Karl Amadeus Hartmann. Clinging to his native Munich, Hartmann wrote anti-Nazi music to be hidden away in his bottom drawer or for performance outside Germany - and survived to tell the tale. In Hartmann's centenary year, Piers Burton-Page explores Hartmann's inner exile and what it meant for his whole life and work.
