The composer Anthony Payne, renowned for his masterly reconstruction of Elgar’s Third Symphony as well as his own highly original oeuvre, has died at the age of 84, just a month after the death of his wife, the singer Jane Manning. Though he was passionate about such late Romantic English composers as Vaughan Williams and Delius, Payne’s own more bracingly dissonant music was closer to that of the post-1950s modernists, while maintaining its own unique identity.
His earliest music, including an orchestral suite and a piano sonata, was written while a schoolboy at Dulwich college, south-east London, and more followed as he went on to study at Durham University. However, shortly after graduating in 1961, he suffered a nervous breakdown that caused him to abandon musical composition for four years.

This week on The Treatment, Elvis welcomes actor and author Gabriel Byrne. Byrne has appeared in more than 70 films, including “Miller’s Crossing” and “The Usual Suspects,” and he won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Dr. Paul Weston on HBO’s “In Treatment.” Byrne’s memoir “Walking With Ghosts” details his childhood in Ireland and his path to becoming an actor. Byrne tells The Treatment his early days as an actor were often filled with confusion about how a film was made and the camera tricks often used. He says his character from “In Treatment” was an effective therapist because, even if he didn’t know the answers, he often asked the right questions. And Byrne discusses the surrealism of Irish humor and the joke from his childhood that still makes him laugh.

Uzbekistan’s Alisher Navoiy National Library is named after him. So is a metro station in Tashkent, the nation’s capital. Not to mention Navoi International Airport, as well as Uzbekistan’s second-largest province, Navoiy home to a million people and even a 41-mile-wide crater on the planet Mercury.
We’re talking here, of course, about 15th-century poet, statesman and scholar Alisher Navoiy considered the father of Uzbek literature.
On Feb. 9, the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Washington hosted a webinar to discuss the legacy of this famous man, who was born Feb. 9, 1441, exactly 580 years ago.
