GERMAN ARTS
Last night the culture secretary Tessa Jowell went to Berlin to hear the Berlin Philharmonic play and watch a hundred children perform Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. In a speech to mark the occasion, she suggested Britain could learn from Germany's attitude to culture. The arts, she said, were too often confined only to the arts sections of newspapers. We in Britain simply lack the passion to debate culture publicly. Francine Stock talks to Marianna Landzettel, London correspondent of SWR German Public Radio and the critic Frank Whitford, an expert on German art.
