Season 1, Episode 3 - "World War"
Suzy Klein's whirl of music and politics gets better and better. We've reached the 1940s and music that’s used as a weapon of war on both sides. It’s a tale riddled with bizarre turns. Those stirring Vera Lynn songs that kept wartime lovers believing they’d meet again? They were decried at the time as "slushy" (by a BBC committee) and "flabby amusement" (on the Daily Telegraph letters page). We hear the extraordinary Nazi-fied cover versions of Cole Porter and Irving Berlin ("You're the top/You're machine gun fire") and see a choir of SS guards in drag. Klein also looks at music in the concentration camps and speaks to a survivor.Last in the series.

Suzy Klein explores music's crucial role in the most turbulent years of the 20th century.

Season 1, Episode 1 - "Revolution"
In the first episode of a series exploring the politics of music, Suzy Klein takes us back to the volatile years following the Russian Revolution and World War I, when music was seen as a tool to change society. Suzy explores the gender-bending cabarets of 1920s Berlin and smashes a piano in the spirit of the Bolshevik revolution. She also reveals why one orchestra decided to work without a conductor, uncovers the dark politics behind Mack the Knife and probes the satirical songs which tried to puncture the rise of the Nazis. Suzy's musical stories are brought to life with the help of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and its Chorus, as well as solo performers. This was a golden age for music, and its jazz, popular songs, experimental symphonies and classics like Rachmaninoff all provoke debate - what kind of culture do we want? Is music for the elite or for the people? Was this a new age of liberal freedom to be relished - or were we hurtling towards the apocalypse?
