Michael Berkeley's guest is historian and political biographer DR Thorpe.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01jyzf0
Michael Berkeley's guest is the the historian and political biographer D R Thorpe, whose biographies include three British Prime Ministers of the mid-20th century - Sir Anthony Eden, Sir Alec Douglas-Hume, and Harold Macmillan. 'Supermac: The Life of Harold Macmillan', published in 2010, has been described as 'the best biography of a post-war British Prime Minister yet written', and was shortlisted for the Orwell Political Prize.
Richard Thorpe taught history at Charterhouse for over 30 years, and is a Fellow of St Antony's College and Brasenose College, Oxford. His musical choices begin with 'Go forth upon thy journey, Christian soul' from Elgar's 'Dream of Gerontius', which reminds him of the great Huddersfield choral tradition in the area where he grew up. English music is one of his great passions, represented here by the final movement of Vaughan Williams' 'A Sea Symphony', and the opening of George Butterworth's rhapsody 'A Shropshire Lad', a piece of great poignancy, given that Butterworth was killed on the Western Front just after his 31st birthday. The three composers who mean most to Richard Thorpe are Richard Strauss, Wagner and Britten, and he has chosen excerpts from Strauss's Elektra and Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg, as well as 'Depart' from Britten's early song-cycle 'Les Illuminations', based on poems by Rimbaud. His final choice is the close of Sibelius' Seventh Symphony, the end of another great 20th-century symphonic cycle.

Texts and music celebrating London, with readings by Eileen Atkins and David Jason.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01jyzf9
With all eyes on London this summer for the Olympics and Queen's Diamond Jubilee, Words and Music celebrates the great capital city with music and texts read by two distinguished London-born actors, Dame Eileen Atkins and Sir David Jason.
In many ways a city of contradictions, Words and Music celebrates the Thames, the church bells, the parks and the architecture, along with the less salubrious side of the city - the overcrowding, the noise and the stench which Londoners have complained about for centuries. We view London through the eyes of its chroniclers such as Daniel Defoe and John Evelyn, along with eminent visitors to the city such as Handel and Haydn. There are also references to key events in London's history - the Fire, the Plague, the Blitz, and the terror of Jack the Ripper. Above all, there is a sense of the love of the city from the writings of authors and poets who lived there, including Charles Dickens, George Orwell, T.S. Eliot and John Keats.
London has inspired many composers, and the readings are accompanied by music by Vaughan Williams, Walton, Britten, Haydn and Elgar.

Producer's Note
With all eyes on London this summer for the Olympics and Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, Words and Music celebrates the great capital city with music and texts read by two distinguished London-born actors, Dame Eileen Atkins and Sir David Jason.
In many ways a city of contradictions, Words and Music celebrates the Thames, the church bells, the parks and the architecture, along with the less salubrious side of the city – the overcrowding, the noise and the stench which Londoners have complained about for centuries. We view London through the eyes of its chroniclers such as Daniel Defoe and John Evelyn, along with eminent visitors to the City such as Handel and Haydn. There are also references to key events in London’s history – the Fire, the Plague, the Blitz, and the terror of Jack the Ripper. Above all, there is a sense of the love of the city from the writings of authors and poets who lived there, including Charles Dickens, George Orwell, T.S. Eliot and John Keats.
London has inspired many composers, and the readings are accompanied by music by Vaughan Williams, Walton, Britten, Haydn and Elgar.
The programme begins with the Thames, the life-blood of the city, described in a poem by Wordsworth, and set to music by Walton. No programme on London would be complete without the writings of Charles Dickens, who did so much to expose the real London, complete with its mud and ‘black drizzle’. This is followed by Vaughan Williams’s equally vivid musical description in his London Symphony. The city’s parks and pubs are captured in poetry, along with the architecture of the Queen’s Hall, gazed at by E.M. Forster’s characters during a concert. William Blake’s famous poem about London is followed by Britten’s setting of the text, and Daniel Defoe’s description of London during the plague is accompanied with music by Purcell. Handel and Haydn were both embraced by Londoners during their visits to the City, with Haydn writing several ‘London Symphonies’. T.S Eliot describes the crowds flowing over London Bridge in The Waste Land, while V.S Pritchett was more interested in the Cockney world of the East End, alluded to by Elgar in his Cockaigne Overture. For George Orwell’s Winston, the sounds of the famous city church bells are a distant memory, and the bells were also inspiration for Steve Martland, in his unusual setting of the Oranges and Lemons song. Victorian London was terrorised by the threat of Jack the Ripper, immortalised in film with a dramatic soundtrack by Stanley Black. Iris Murdoch writes a vivid description of the characters riding the Circle Line on the underground, while John Evelyn, one of the great London diarists gives his account of the devastation of St Paul’s Cathedral after the Fire of London. London’s poets are celebrated in death by Robert Leighton’s humorous poem Poets’ Corner, and the programme ends back where it began with the Thames, this time from the view-point of the characters in Anthony Powell’s The Military Philosophers, powerless to stop the destruction during the Blitz. They refer to Spencer’s poem Sweet Thames run softly, a text which was used so effectively by George Dyson in his beautiful setting of the same title.
