Composer of the Week

Ernst von Dohnányi (1877-1960)

Part Two

Dohnányi was attracting notice as a virtuoso pianist within weeks of his graduation from the Budapest Academy, and at just 20, his performances were drawing critical acclaim from audiences in Berlin and London. But his talents as a composer had not gone unnoticed. Donald Macleod introduces the piece that brought him international recognition - his first piano concerto.

Prom 33 Part Two

From the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Penny Gore.

Berg's intensely dramatic, highly complex, and only purely orchestral work is set alongside Mahler's fairy-tale cantata, performed in its original three-part version for huge choral and orchestral forces. The marvellous mingles with the macabre in this dramatic piece Mahler started in his teens - based on castles, queens and a magic flute!

Prom 35 Part One

From the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Warwick Thompson.

In its second Prom of the season, the BBC Concert Orchestra acknowledges this year's sea theme with highlights from Constant Lambert's wartime film score and Stanford's celebration of Britain's glorious naval past. The rarely performed violin concerto by long-neglected black composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, and Elgar's beloved orchestral variations, completes this feast of British music.

Feature: Nile Lands

9 August 2005 Nile Lands Part One

The Nile is the world's longest river, the lifeblood of one of the first great civilisations and the route that brought Europeans into the heart of Africa. Over four programmes, Zeinab Badawi visits the countries through which the Nile flows to explore how the river has shaped their different cultural identities and helped to form perceptions of Africa in the Western imagination.

1/4. Ethiopia

Zeinab's journey starts at the source of the Blue Nile where the river seeps out of Ethiopia's Mount Gish at the Sekala Spring. Ethiopian tradition connects the river to the country's ancient Christian heritage: it is a river in the Garden of Eden, which gave refuge to the Virgin Mary on her flight from Egypt and brought the Ark of the Covenant to Axum.
