Part Five
Donald Macleod looks at some of the personalities and institutions who were instrumental in helping Verdi achieve success.
5/5. Casa Ricordi
By his death in 1901, Verdi had achieved great recognition. Internationally acclaimed, feted wherever he went, his long career had by then spanned 60 years. He had amassed a fortune, due in part to the fact that he was a shrewd businessman but also because of the efforts of Casa Ricordi, the publishing house which had, and continued, to tirelessly promote his music.

Ian McMillan investigates the Pushkin Sonnet with two authors who have written verse novels using this very un-English form. Andy Croft and Ben Borek discuss finding rhymes, of both masculine and feminine varieties, why Pushkin sonnets seem to lead to comedy and why writing them can be addictive.
Shetland-based poet Jen Hadfield talks about her new collection and the importance of place in her work, while Tim Liardet reads the poem he has written for the Bath Literature Festival, inspired by his own family history.
Plus a performance from critically-acclaimed young singer-songwriter Laura Marling.

Abdullah Ibrahim
Alyn Shipton talks to the gifted South African jazz pianist Abdullah Ibrahim about the highlights in his recorded catalogue. He discusses discs from the apartheid era, when he was both an exile and, on a brief return home, the creator of the freedom anthem Mannenberg, as well as his international work as a solo pianist, bandleader and composer.
23:30
Evan Parker and Dave Liebman
Jez Nelson presents a historic gig played at the Vortex jazz club in London in January, featuring the first appearance together of free-jazz saxophonists Evan Parker and Dave Liebman.
Evan Parker has been one of the most visible presences on the European improvising scene for almost 50 years, and has played with the likes of Peter Brötzmann, Derek Bailey, and recently Squarepusher.
New York-based Liebman specialises in soprano saxophone and has worked with Chick Corea, Dave Holland - and Miles Davis, on albums including On the Corner and Get Up With It.
