Composer of the Week

Ernst von Dohnányi (1877-1960)

Part Four

Despite Dohnányi's selfless dedication to the musical welfare of his country, events conspired against him. He ill-advisedly made a decision which was to give his enemies the ammunition they needed to vilify his name, and as a result he was accused of having Nazi sympathies and branded a war criminal.

Donald Macleod introduces the work Dohnányi wrote in the midst of this nightmarish turmoil - his 2nd Symphony.

Impromptu and Landler from Six Pieces, Op 41
Ernst von Dohnányi (piano)

Prom 37 Part One

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Martin Handley.

A brief overview of the German symphonic tradition, including an overture 'full of tears' and the last piece Beethoven was ever to perform as a pianist in public. Anniversary composer Karl Amadeus Hartmann's stirring and dramatic 6th Symphony promises to steal the show, conducted by one of the foremost champions of his music - Ingo Metzmacher.

Ouagadougou

Emmanuel Dangola's story forms part of a series of tales about 'home'. Dangola asks - why eat imported foods when the local town can provide white worms and grilled grasshoppers? Both are delicious with ginger!

Read by Damian Lynch and abridged and produced by Duncan Minshull. Part of the Africa Lives on the BBC season.

Feature: Nile Lands

Part 3

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.

3/4. Sudan

Zeinab Badawi's journey along the Nile reaches the land of her birth, Sudan, where the Blue Nile and the White Nile meet and flow north together to the Mediterranean.
It's been called the 'corridor to Africa', and over the centuries the Nile has brought many visitors into Sudan - the Emperor Nero sent two centurions south along it to discover the riches of Central Africa. They failed - and for the best part of 2000 years the great swamp barrier of the Sudd has separated the southern reaches of Sudan from the north. This programme explores the currents of culture and identity that flow through the vast land of swamps and deserts.
