Composer of the Week

Ernst von Dohnányi (1877-1960)

Part Five

Unable to refute the pro-Nazi allegations made against him, Dohnányi knew he wouldn't be able to return to his native Hungary. He decided to make his way to Argentina, but the accusations followed him, and his career as a concert pianist was almost destroyed.

He was saved by an offer of work in the United States and there lived out the remainder of his days. Donald Macleod introduces works from Dohnányi's American years, including the Violin Concerto No 2 and the piece composed as an affectionate tribute to his adopted country - the American Rhapsody.

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Fiona Talkington.

The bicentenary of one of the world's most famous storytellers, Hans Christian Andersen, is celebrated with a specially commissioned work based on his tale of sacrifice, unconditional love and watery death, The Little Mermaid.

Feature: Nile Lands

Part 4

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.

4/4. Egypt

In a programme which encompasses the Nilometers of the Pharaohs and Nasser's high dam at Aswan, Zeinab Badawi considers how Egyptians ancient and modern have tried to tame the river and the silt-rich annual flood it brings from the heart of Africa to the Mediterranean. As she discovers, their world-view has been coloured by the knowledge that the river is a source of life, but also of death.

22:30

Jazz on 3

12 August 2005

Jez Nelson presents the third of a four-week season of Jazz on 3's most popular concerts of this year, as requested by listeners. This week, a rising star and three true legends of jazz in performance at the Barbican.

Pianist Herbie Hancock and saxophonist Wayne Shorter were band mates in Miles Davis' legendary quartet of the mid-sixties, and British-born bassist Dave Holland joined Miles in the late Sixties. Since then the three have won international acclaim as band leaders and remain among the best-loved jazz musicians anywhere in the world.

Teamed with Wayne Shorter's current drummer Brian Blade, this concert is a rare opportunity to witness such massed talent on one stage.
