Glamorous Night, A Celebration of Ivor Novello

Remember such time-honoured favourites as 'We'll gather lilacs'? Today we acknowledge that patriotic First World War plea to 'keep the home fires burning' in a tribute to a silent-movie actor, West End playwright, composer and star of a string of stage musicals hugely popular in their day.

Ivor Novello, the most consistently successful composer of British musicals before the advent of Andrew Lloyd Webber, nowadays tends to be unjustly neglected. Sir Mark Elder is a committed advocate, as is today's master of ceremonies, Simon Callow

NOVELLO: We'll gather lilacs; Keep the home fires burning; Glamorous Night, Overture; Fold your wings, from Glamorous Night; Why isn't you?, from Crest of a Wave; I can give you the starlight; My life belongs to you, from The Dancing Years; Muranian Rhapsody, first section; My dearest dear, from The Dancing Years; Someday my heart will awake; The violin began to play, from King's Rhapsody; Shine through my dreams, from Glamorous Night; Love made the song, from Careless Rapture; We'll gather lilacs, from Perchance to Dream (recorded in the Royal Albert Hall, London by BBC) (Programme 22 tomorrow at 10.00am)

(22) BERLIOZ: Requiem Op 5

The cavernous Royal Albert Hall is a natural setting for Berlioz's monumental Requiem. Although the work's choral and instrumental requirements are massive, perhaps most revolutionary is its exploitation of the performance space as an element of composition. Thierry Fischer directs his final concert as Principal Conductor of BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

(23) SCHOENBERG: Gurrelieder

Following Beethoven's 'Choral' Symphony which was performed in the Proms on the opening night of the London Olympics, the closing night saw another choral blockbuster. Schoenberg's medieval love-tragedy is an early masterpiece in which his late-Romantic voluptuousness attains a radiant C major sunrise apotheosis.

Augmenting substantial BBC forces, Jukka-Pekka Saraste welcomes two guest choirs. An impressive international solo line-up is headed by New Zealand tenor Simon O'Neill as Waldemar, the cursed king. German soprano Angela Denoke makes her Proms debut as Tove and Swedish mezzo-soprano Katarina Karnéus returns as the voice of the Wood-Dove.

(6) Ageing and the well-lived life

Ageing is a physical process that will always be with us. But conceptions of ageing, views about the contributions older people can make to society, and what society owes them, change from era to era and differ from culture to culture. In conjunction with the Stanford Humanities Center, John and Ken explore the issues involved in growing older with their guest, Stanford University psychologist Laura Carstensen and a live studio audience at the Hyatt Residence in Palo Alto (Ben Manilla Productions)

(24) BRITTEN: Peter Grimes, an opera in three acts

First staged a month after VE Day, Britten's searing psychological drama set in a claustrophobic Suffolk fishing community was the critical and popular success that effectively established a new kind of English operatic tradition.

ENO has kept the opera at the heart of its repertoire and tonight's concert performance is based on a sold-out production hailed as a 'superb company achievement' on its first outing in 2009. Australian tenor Stuart Skelton once again heads the cast with his remarkable, multifaceted portrayal of the disturbed outsider.

(25) Christine Schäfer (sprechstimme), Nash Ensemble/Martyn Brabbins

First a Debussy masterpiece of timeless grace, composed as the Great War raged about his ears. Another of his late sonatas was originally entitled 'Pierrot fâché avec la lune' (Pierrot angry with the moon) but Schoenberg's eerie Expressionist melodrama got there first.

This is music through which Christine Schäfer has been exploiting her virtuosity as a singing actress in a variety of settings. 'Every time I do this piece,' she says, 'I try something new.'

(26) The Broadway Sound

After last year's celebration of the Hollywood screen musical, John Wilson and his high-octane orchestra - whose technicoloured performances, according to one critic, offer 'the auditory equivalent of a steam-clean' - present a tribute to the composers and arrangers responsible for creating the Broadway Sound, among them such legendary tunesmiths as Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Vincent Youmans, Richard Rodgers and Frank Loesser.

With a cast of leading soloists, the concert includes excerpts from Show Boat, No, No, Nanette, On Your Toes, Kiss Me, Kate and Annie Get Your Gun - Maida Vale Singers, John Wilson Orch/John Wilson (recorded in the Royal Albert Hall, London by BBC) (Programme 27 tomorrow at 8.00pm)
