Lynsey Marsh (clarinet) with Halle Orchestra
Martin Handley introduces a concert given last week at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall.
The programme includes Mendelssohn's delightful miniature musical picture based on the tale of a water-nymph who marries a mortal, and Sibelius's quietly radical Third Symphony which contains many Finnish folk elements. Staying in Nordic mood, the Halle's principal clarinet offers her interpretation of Nielsen's concerto. Finally, Strauss's tone poem is a vivid illustration of the pranks and adventures of the legendary jester who has the last laugh, mocking his enemies from the grave.

Vernon Bogdanor
Philip Dodd meets political analyst Vernon Bogdanor, who explains why he thinks Britain has undergone a spectacle unique in the democratic world since 1997: transforming its famously unwritten constitution into a European- or American-style written document, bit by bit, without any real popular interest in doing more. How deeply will this change our system of government and does anybody know where the process will end?
