English Mystics
Part One
Donald Macleod considers how for at least four centuries, mystical thought and ideas have become woven into English music. With examples from John Taverner (c1495-1545) to John Tavener (1944 to the present), Donald suggests that composers' transcendent aspirations have been crucial to the evolution of English music.

Consert 8
From Cadogan Hall, London.
A homage to Bartók on the 60th anniversary of his death, with a vigorous and hauntingly beautiful work, played by a superb young quartet from BBC Radio 3's New Generation artists. It is matched with one of Haydn's so-called Sun Quartets - a product indeed of the high summer of his career, full of emotional intensity and ultimate high spirits. "The end - praise be to God!", he wrote on the final page.
Presented by Stephanie Hughes.

From the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Tommy Pearson.
Written at the height of the Second World War, Shostakovich's Eighth Symphony is a highly personal response to mass devastation. The Prom opens with two contrasting sides of Ravel's musical personality, his own orchestration of the Spanish-flavoured piano piece, Alborada del gracioso, and his jazz-influenced Piano Concerto.

Carl Maria von Weber (1786 - 1826)
Part Two
'If there's no sincerity in her feelings, then the final chord of my whole life has sounded!' From an early age, Weber loved women - even at 16, he was dedicating compositions to the fair sex of Hamburg. After numerous affairs, he settled down with soprano Caroline Brandt - one of two lasting relationships in his life. The other was with his friend, the clarinettist Heinrich Baermann, for whom Weber wrote some of his most popular music.
