Samuel Barber (1910-1981)
Part One
To many people, Barber is something of a one-hit wonder with his hugely popular Adagio for Strings. Yet he was one of the most frequently performed composers of the 20th century, both in Europe and America. Donald Macleod begins his exploration of Barber's life and works with a selection of pieces with which he was introduced to the American nation in his first radio broadcast.

Leaving Home
When Christine Finn's parents died within a year of each other, it fell to her to clear out and sell the family home in Deal, Kent. As an archaeologist, she found she could best handle the project as one of excavation and restoration - a process aimed at enabling her finally to let go.

Desperately Seeking Mozart
The name Mozart is one of the most powerful commercial brands on the planet. Since his birth 250 years ago this week, he has been the subject of endless mythologising in historical accounts, biographies, plays, novels and films. But is it possible to uncover the real Wolfgang Amadeus? Who is the Mozart who emerges in the 21st Century? A prodigiously clever, chaotic, and infantile composer or a deeper, more considered artist, managing a successful freelance career? And could the truth help us to listen to Mozart's music with fresh and innocent ears?
Paul Robertson sets out in search of the real Mozart, speaking to academics who have dedicated their life's work to paring away the mythology, as well as brain scientists, child psychologists and performers.
22:00
Prom 5 Dove and Matthews
Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London, a Mozart-infused Late Night Prom with Jonathan Dove's playfully allusive wind octet which weaves in melodies from the Marriage of Figaro, Colin Matthews' realisation of Mozart's musical-dice game, and finally Mozart appears in person with his sublime Gran Partita to end the concert.
