Glen Campbell – The Rhinestone Cowboy Ep 1/4

Sunday 30 October

8.00-8.30pm BBC RADIO 2

Ahead of Glen Campbell's headline performance for Radio 2 In Concert, the musician shares memories of a lifetime lived in the limelight.

Presented by REM's Mike Mills, this documentary was first broadcast in 2005. It has been updated to include new material with Glen who, in 2011, revealed his diagnosis with Alzheimer's, and announced plans to undertake one last tour.

One of the great crossover artists of the past 50 years, Glen has sold more than 45 million albums worldwide and some of the songs he recorded have become popular music classics, including Wichita Lineman, Galveston and Rhinestone Cowboy.

Glen talks honestly about his career, from his poor upbringing to the heady heights of fame, and from his battles with addiction to his re-discovery as an artist.

Listeners can hear Glen on Radio 2 In Concert on Thursday 17 November when he performs classic hits and songs in the BBC Radio Theatre.

Michael Berkeley's guest is Trevor Phillips, chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

Phillips's music choices begin with a movement of Haydn's Trumpet Concerto, played by Wynton Marsalis, whom he describes as: "arguably the greatest instrumentalist of his generation on any instrument".

He continues with Janet Baker – his favourite female singer – in an aria from Handel's Julius Caesar, followed by a traditional English song sung by the Unthanks. Other choices include Vaughan Williams's Fantasia On A Theme Of Thomas Tallis, and a piece that reminds him of the six years he spent playing in a Salvation Army band.

Lucie Skeaping presents highlights from a concert of music by Telemann given by Ensemble Caprice at the 2011 Lufthansa Festival, inspired by the gypsy music he encountered in Poland.

In the early 1700s Georg Philipp Telemann, one of the foremost and most talented composers of his day, was appointed Kapellmeister to Reichsgraf Erdmann II at his castle in Western Poland. In 1706 the Great Western War caused the entire court to flee and, as a consequence, Telemann found himself in Krakow and Pless where he encountered the local Moravian folk music alongside some of the distinctive music of the gypsies. This music inspired him to incorporate elements of it into his own compositions.

In this concert, Ensemble Caprice, under their director, recorder player Matthias Maute, and with singer Belinda Sykes, recreate the sounds of the Polish gypsy music alongside some of Telemann's compositions from the period.

Robert Forrest's powerful and intriguing original play is based on Robert Louis Stevenson's early life in Edinburgh as he was about to embark on his journey as a writer.

Set in 1873, the play focuses on Stevenson as a young man invigorated by the new thinking of the Enlightenment. He may have been unsure of what his role in all this could be, creating turmoil in his own mind and heartache in his relationship with his parents. And meanwhile his discovery of the female species was also pre-occupying his thoughts and emotions.

Ahead of Pete Townshend's delivery of the first-ever John Peel Lecture, the great broadcaster himself can be heard in conversation with Sue Lawley for BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.

In the 1990 interview, John Peel talks about his life at public school, his work as a DJ in the States in the early Sixties, his family, his passion for Liverpool Football Club and, of course, his lifelong passion for music. His discs include Handel's Zadok The Priest, a bit of Rachmaninov, some Mark E Smith, and his all-time favourite record, Teenage Kicks, by The Undertones (a song which John Peel once played back to back on his Radio 1 programme in 1978 and lyrics from which form the epitaph on John's gravestone).
