Discovering Music

John Dowland's Lachrymae

Andrew Manze takes a close look at the music and ideas behind the seven pavans from John Dowland's Lachrymae or Seven Teares, published in 1605 for lute and viol consort.

The profoundly intimate and expressive music has been described as the renaissance equivalent to Beethoven's late quartets, and is performed here by viol group Concordia.

Drama on 3

Rock 'n' Roll by Tom Stoppard

Stoppard's new play about loyalty, compromise, love and music is given its first radio production as part of BBC Radio's celebration of his work.

In 1968, Czech student Jan returns home 'to protect rock 'n' roll' from the Soviet tanks crushing the Prague Spring. Max, a Communist don in Cambridge, watches his ideology collapse until the Velvet revolution of 1990 allows student and master to meet again. The politics and music have changed, but have the people?
