This week's best-selling CDs

Ten programmes of interviews with some of jazz's big musical thinkers, vibrant biographies and carefully-crafted playlists that represent the full gamut of jazz's rich history

The life and music of Louis Armstrong with the Louis Armstrong House Museum, that has more than 1200-hours of audio, and take a step back in time with a guided virtual tour of Louis' perfectly preserved former home. And we'll explore how Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven groups of the 1920s are still blowing the minds of music fans, and chat with Armstrong historian and archivist Ricky Riccardi about how Louis' musical, cultural, and political legacies continue to evolve, even forty years after his death (PRX)

Metropolitan Opera Season

Twenty-three operas from New York's Metropolitan Opera House

(20) SHOSTAKOVICH: Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, an opera in four acts

Based on a short story by Nikolay Leskov, Shostakovich gives a sympathetic view of a provincial merchant's wife who is at the centre of a whirl of passion, greed and brutality. Its earthy approach to sex, graphic language and extreme violence made it an immediate critical and popular success in Russia in the 1930s - that is until Stalin saw the production. The resulting subjugation of individual creative freedom of all the arts in Soviet Russia is a matter of history. Shostakovich never completed another opera

(2) Food Justice

The number of chronically hungry people in the world is over 800 million, yet developed countries are facing health challenges from rising rates of obesity. The growing problems of food security and water scarcity seem an issue of distribution rather than availability. But other factors also influence the status of food and water security worldwide. So where does the problem with food and water security lie? John and Ken grab a bite with Tim Benton, Professor of Population Ecology at the University of Leeds and UK Champion for Global Food Security (Ben Manilla Productions)
