Britons have always explored - and drawn creative inspiration from - their landscapes. But what does the ancient terrain mean in the modern world? Playwright and rapper Testament, whose play Black Men Walking was inspired by a group of Black British walkers based in Sheffield, discusses the hidden histories of the countryside with writer and broadcaster Horatio Clare 鈥� who has recorded several long walks for 麻豆社 Radio 3 and the Slow Radio podcast. Presented by Eleanor Rosamund Barraclough. Produced by Zahid Warley.

Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F major, 'Pastoral'
Orchestre de Paris
Daniel Harding, conductor
Town or country? That's the choice offered here by Daniel Harding and the Orchestre de Paris.
Scored for a 90-strong orchestra, J枚rg Widmann鈥檚 explosive Babylon Suite (adapted from his 2012 opera) invites listeners into the all-consuming sonic chaos of the city 鈥� a babel of sound and sensation.
Beethoven鈥檚 Symphony No. 6, by contrast, takes listeners through fields and past brooks in its evocative portrait of pastoral life.
The concert opens with the gathering storm-clouds of the overture to Schumann鈥檚 only opera, Genoveva.
