Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901)
Part Three
Donald Macleod looks at some of the personalities who were instrumental in helping Verdi achieve success.
3/5. Francesco Maria Piave
The librettist Francesco Maria Piave worked with Verdi for more than 20 years, and together they were responsible for some of Verdi's biggest hits and also some of his more memorable flops.
Verdi regarded Piave as a good friend, but that did not stop him from accusing Piave of being long winded, criticising him and, in the case of Macbeth, sending the work straight to another writer and translator, Andrea Maffei, for further work.

With Tom Service.
There is a waltz theme to this performance given by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra as Ravel's dark poeme choreographique, La valse, is matched by the ghostly ballroom in the second movement of Rachmaninov's final orchestral work, the Symphonic Dances.
The programme also includes the Scottish premiere performance of Unsuk Chin's Lewis Carroll song-cycle Snags and Snarls, based on scenes from Alice in Wonderland.
