  Song, Mirror of the World

  Thirteen programmes that explore classic song, poetry set to music, as a prism for understanding culture and history

  Presented by Thomas Hampson

  (8) The Fin de Siècle

  Framed by the innovative songs of Charles Ives, this programme explores the decadent and tumultuous years surrounding the turn of the 20th century. From a sombre work by Brahms to an erotic song by Debussy and a bitter reaction to war by Korngold, song paints a picture of the worldwide unrest that was starting to take hold (WFMT)
