Turkish novelist Elif Shafak talks about the figure of the djinni in Arabic mythology, who along with humans and angels, make up the three sapient creations of God, according to Islamic tradition. New Generation Thinker Dr Shahida Bari joins the discussion hosted by Ian McMillan.
Recorded earlier this evening as a Proms Extra with an audience at Imperial College.

Saint-Sa毛ns: Samson and Delilah - Bacchanal

C茅dric Tiberghien (piano)
Les Si猫cles

An all-French programme inspired by the East, from the fragrant Indian gardens of Delibes's Lakm茅 and the eroticism of Samson and Delilah, to Corfu with the adventures of Lalo's Namouna.
Oriental demons surface in Les Djinns, complementing the vibrantly coloured music of Java and the Middle East that suffuses Saint-Sa毛ns's 'Egyptian' Piano Concerto.
