Feature

We Still Breathe Their Air

Across Europe there is a growing movement of Romany writers. Although their cultural roots are in the oral traditions of storytelling and music they are now using the written word not only as a political weapon but also to claim their place within the established arts world.

Simon Evans meets Romany writers, poets and singers working in the UK and the Czech Republic.

BBC Proms 2005

Prom 54

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Polish composer Henryck Górecki's mesmerising symphony of songs comes to the Proms for the first time. Its three movements each paint a picture of a mother's sorrow over a lost child, the Virgin Mary's lamentation at the foot of the cross, 18-year old World War II prisoner Helena Wanda Blazusiakówna's secret cell wall writings, and a peasant mother's mourning over the loss of her soldier son in World War I.

Presented by Warwick Thompson.
