Composer of the Week

Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)

Part Four

Donald Macleod traces the wildly varying fortunes of Vivaldi in his role as impresario. Though the composer's eye to the main chance was always wide open when it came to making money, it was largely in the cut-throat arena of opera production that he chose to concentrate his entrepreneurial spirit.

Composer of the Week

Duke Ellington (1899-1974)

Part Five

The 1956 Newport Jazz Festival heralded a revival of Ellington's fortunes. He signed a new record deal and over the next few years, Johnny Hodges, Lawrence Brown and Cootie Williams returned to the fold. In spite of the rise of rock 'n' roll, Ellington's worldwide reputation had never been higher and he spent much of his time travelling the globe.

Donald Macleod charts the last two decades of Ellington's life in which his favourite form became the suite. He made some memorable recordings with his star player Johnny Hodges and was given the opportunity to make a musical statement about his religious beliefs.

Featured tracks include Stompy Jones; Suite Thursday; Something to Live For; Ain't but the One; Far East Suite (extracts); Charpoy.
