SAT       Water Music
SAT       Dr Ian Bradley travels to Baden in Austria and Baden-Baden
SAT       in Germany to discover how in the 18th and 19th centuries,

SAT       
SAT       Including Mozart climbing through windows to visit his
SAT       ailing wife and his musical gift to the local church
SAT       organist. Then Beethoven and his disagreements with the
SAT       Baden landlords, his spa cures and inspiring walks in the
SAT       countryside.
SAT       
SAT       He also looks at Berlioz's neuralgia and his commissions
SAT       from the aspiring local casino owner; as well as Brahms'
SAT       love for Clara Schumann and the blue composing room in his

SAT       Italian Fantasy
SAT       
SAT       A beaker full of the warm South tonight, as yearned for by
SAT       Keats, and as unforgettably experienced by many a visitor
SAT       to Italy from the cold north. A glass of Chianti would be
SAT       the ideal accompaniment to this Italian Fantasy which
SAT       blends the reminiscences of English-speaking travellers
SAT       and the music of Italy, both authentic and as imagined by
SAT       visiting composers.
SAT       It's a series of snapshots, of light older than wine ,
SAT       solitary pines which whisper of pre-Christian
SAT       conspiracies, of gaudy baroque fountains which , on closer
SAT       inspection, may not be at all suitable for the polite
SAT       visitor, of food, sea, castles and ruins. And of course
SAT       there are the tourists, the great hordes of substantial
SAT       dollar-bringing virgins as memorably sketched by
SAT       e.e.cummings, with their Baedekers, Mothers and Kodaks.
SAT       We hear from the earlier tourists of the age of Byron and
SAT       Shelley, awed by the ruins of Rome and Pompeii. And from
SAT       Mark Twain, perhaps rather less awed at Pompeii and more
SAT       concerned with the realities of life and taxes before the
SAT       eruption. If Twain had made his visit a few years later he
SAT       would have been able to ride up Vesuvius on the new
SAT       funicular railway so famously celebrated in song.
SAT       Robert Browning, that great Italophile, describes a
SAT       windswept feast after wine making, and who else but
SAT       Elizabeth David to mouth wateringly describe the famous
SAT       white truffles of Alba.
SAT       Music includes Berlioz' Harold in Italy which was
SAT       inspired by Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and the
SAT       Byronic Bob Dylan is also inspired by Rome. Thomas Hardy,
SAT       rather unexpectedly, describes hearing a Strauss waltz
SAT       while on the Palatine. There is music from Respighi, his
SAT       famous descriptions of the pines and fountains of Rome ,
SAT       as well as one of his Ancient Airs and Dances at the end,
SAT       the original renaissance version of which is heard earlier
SAT       in the programme on the lute. The impressionistic music of
SAT       Debussy follows the impressionistic verse of Gabrielle
SAT       D'Annunzio, Sir John Betjeman is heard reading (to music)
SAT       his own gentle parody of Longfellow's verse and.we hear
SAT       from an Italian Trallalero team, a traditional form of
SAT       singing from Liguria, performed while standing in a circle.
SAT       We end with the great Italian poet Leopardi and his hymn
SAT       to the power of the imagination, L'infinito.
SAT       So conjure up the Italy of your imagination - no Baedeker
SAT       required.    Elizabeth Funning (producer)

SUN       
SUN       Gioacchino Rossini was one of the most successful

SUN       Searching for Alfred in the Shadow of Tennyson
SUN       Poet and writer Ruth Padel goes in search of the real
SUN       Alfred, Lord Tennyson, a poet who for many people today is
SUN       an iconic image of the Victorian era. We know him as Queen
SUN       Victorian's Poet Laureate, an imposing figure with a beard
SUN       and cape and the author of long poems often based on myths
SUN       and legends. But this image hides other facets of Tennyson
SUN       and obscures the fact that many creative artists today are
SUN       drawing on his work.
SUN       
SUN       Championing him as a poet for our times as well as his
SUN       own, Ruth talks to figures as diverse as poet and former
SUN       Laureate Andrew Motion, novelists Andrew O' Hagan and Adam
SUN       Foulds, poet Jo Shapcott, rock musician Dani Filth, and
SUN       academics Robert Douglas-Fairhurst and Angela Leighton.
SUN       She hears how the figure of Tennyson has been an
SUN       inspiration to them.
SUN       
SUN       Ruth also investigates the real Alfred behind the image of
SUN       grandeur. She finds out about his preoccupation with what
SUN       he called the 'black blood' of his family, whose members
SUN       were prone to breakdowns, alcoholism and madness. And she
SUN       hears how these concerns led to Tennyson's ability to
SUN       articulate neurosis and loss in his work even though, as
SUN       Poet Laureate, he became an Establishment figure.

SUN       The Double
SUN       
SUN       A sequence of poetry, prose and music exploring the
SUN       disturbing world of shadows and ghostly doubles, with
SUN       readings by Janie Dee and Nicholas Farrell.
SUN       
SUN       With works by Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson,
SUN       Dostoevsky, Heine, Wilde, Robert Lowell and Khalil
SUN       Ghibran, interspersed with music by Bach, Boulez, Schubert
SUN       and Steve Reich.
SUN       
SUN       Ever since reading Dostoevsky's novella The Double, I
SUN       have been haunted by the idea of the doppelganger - the
SUN       sinister ghostly twin. Not only does it make great
SUN       fiction, but the idea of the 'shadow aspect' as
SUN       expounded by Jung, and the embodiment of all our repressed
SUN       inadequacies, has resonance with all manner of modern
SUN       anxieties. This episode of Words and Music is an attempt
SUN       to capture some of the spectrum of great writing on this
SUN       subject - from the worlds of evil twins, nervous shadows,
SUN       and slowly disintegrating mental faculties - and ally this
SUN       with music that not only explores ideas of doubling, but
SUN       creates its own jittery, confused, and occasionally
SUN       violent musical narrative.
SUN       
SUN       Starting at the lighter end of the spectrum, Robert
SUN       Dodsley's whimsical 'Song' casts doubts on the
SUN       surety of human perception, and sets up the gentle
SUN       dislocation of Steve Reich's 'New York
SUN       Counterpoint'. Reich, a composer whose compositional
SUN       practice explores ideas of phasing, placing similar
SUN       musical material out of sync with itself, seemed a perfect
SUN       place to begin, and is someone whose work I return to.
SUN       
SUN       Eighth century Chinese poet Li Po's, 'Drinking Alone
SUN       with Moonlight', gives an interesting perspective on the
SUN       solitary, talking to oneself and the moon, creating in
SUN       one's shadow the beginning of a more sinister double
SUN       which is soon joined by Francis Carey Slater's darker
SUN       'Shadow' - one borne perhaps from past trauma. It is
SUN       upsetting recollection that is the theme of Heine's
SUN       famous poem that follows, where a man encounters his own
SUN       double staring at his now ex-lover's window, the sense
SUN       of melancholy heightened by a fragile, wavering 1948
SUN       recording of Chopin's fourth Prelude by Benno
SUN       Moiseiwitsch.
SUN       
SUN       Surprisingly no less poetic, psychiatrist Carl Jung states
SUN       his case for a psychological double, and in a canny
SUN       fictional parallel Stevenson's Dr Jekyll recalls his
SUN       theories on the 'primitive duality of man'. Edmund
SUN       Campion's work 'Losing Touch' for vibraphone and
SUN       electronics begins to unpick this duality, as the
SUN       electronics create a nervous, jumpy response to the
SUN       sweeter toned vibraphone. There is also a touch of the
SUN       cosmic in the starry interplay between mallets and
SUN       circuitboards as both readers reappear with Simon
SUN       Armitage's miniature 'Gemini' - a disturbing image
SUN       of the celestial twins that speaks volumes within its few
SUN       words.
SUN       
SUN       A multi layered musical double appears next as the twin
SUN       strands of Bach's canonic two-part invention meander off
SUN       in joyous self-reflection, but on another level are
SUN       joined, like a ghostly image in a photograph, by pianist
SUN       Glenn Gould's distant, disembodied humming. In John
SUN       Clare's 'For the Vision of Time' the stooped old man
SUN       who whispers with his alarmingly more upright shadow may
SUN       well be sharing the same concerns as the Fleet Foxes in
SUN       their haunting 'Tiger Mountain Peasant Song'. The
SUN       disembodiment intensifies, with Pierre Boulez's
SUN       'Dialogue de l'Ombre Double', as an amplified solo
SUN       clarinet dances with a taped shadow of itself. As with
SUN       Gould's humming, here the eerie musical penumbra comes
SUN       from the speakers being placed inside a piano, the natural
SUN       reverberations enhancing the sense of dislocation.
SUN       
SUN       Duality replaces dislocation in Sir Edmund William
SUN       Gosse's 'The Twofold Voice', as he imagines a
SUN       classical double, whilst Mr Golyadkin, the hapless hero of
SUN       Dostoevsky's novella, comes to the unhappy conclusion
SUN       that the man sat opposite him is 'none other than he
SUN       himself, another Mr Golyadkin'. And here the shadows
SUN       have become real, the internalised fears and inadequacies
SUN       have taken on human form. Mr Golyadkin's meeting with
SUN       his double only serves to hasten his mental decline, and
SUN       the two plodding double basses of Ornette Coleman's epic
SUN       collective improvisation 'Free Jazz' brilliantly
SUN       illustrates the division of the Golyadkin mind set.
SUN       Isolated one on each stereo channel the contrasting styles
SUN       of bassists Charlie Haden and Scott LaFaro become the two
SUN       increasingly frantic sides of Mr Golyadkin's splitting
SUN       persona.
SUN       
SUN       As 'Free Jazz' disintegrates into the sound of the
SUN       sea, the conversation becomes internalised as Mike
SUN       Barlow's 'The Boat in my Brain' offers a serene, yet
SUN       confused picture of losing one's mind, and this serenity
SUN       is reflected in the gentle rocking of Steve Reich's
SUN       string work 'Duet', as the two violins occasionally
SUN       strain the timing of their canonic melodies over the
SUN       throbbing of the strings below. In an extract from 'The
SUN       Madman' Khalil Gibran imagines not two but seven selves
SUN       discoursing at night, and it is these seven voices that
SUN       proceed to wind round each other in Purcell's In Nomine
SUN       for seven viols.
SUN       
SUN       In a brief diversion into the world of the reflected
SUN       double, we hear Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray selling his
SUN       soul for the chance to stay as beautiful as his portrait,
SUN       whilst the distinctly unbeautiful 'Fat man in the
SUN       mirror' unravels at the sight of what he has become and
SUN       loses himself in somewhat manic childhood reminiscence.
SUN       This mania intensifies as the two voices of Steve
SUN       Reich's early tape piece 'Come Out' grow further
SUN       apart and multiply, like the voices in one's head, and
SUN       are muddled by the chirping of Lars Fredriksen's 108
SUN       Chinese crickets. The 'heavy animal part' of man from
SUN       Gosse's earlier poem returns, trying to escape, perhaps
SUN       like Gibran's seven selves, from inside James
SUN       Stephen's 'Cage', in a 'busy, timid rage'. And
SUN       it is this busy timidity that characterises Mr
SUN       Golyadkin's second appearance - no longer so sure of
SUN       mind, having been thoroughly unsettled by his double.
SUN       
SUN       Heine's Doppelganger reappears too, but this time in
SUN       Schubert's song setting, voiced with clarity and power
SUN       by the baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, whose anger at
SUN       his shadowy double is perhaps a precursor of Jung's
SUN       'demonic dynamism'. It is certainly a demonic force
SUN       that then motivates and delights the transformed Mr Hyde,
SUN       as he relishes, despite the agonies of his transformation,
SUN       the possibilities of unfettered wickedness.
SUN       
SUN       An excerpt from Bartok's second string quartet, written
SUN       during the hardships of the first world war, provides the
SUN       tumbling violent energy that Mr Hyde now possesses and
SUN       brings us to the climax of Poe's 'William Wilson',
SUN       where the real and the psychological meet, and in killing
SUN       his double Wilson has ultimately destroyed something vital
SUN       within himself, something I'm sure Jung would have
SUN       agreed with. The agonies both real and imagined hit Wilson
SUN       with the force of Harrison Birtwistle's orchestral
SUN       climax, but, as with so many of the texts, it is hard to
SUN       know how much of this is real, and how much the separation
SUN       of the conscious and unconscious mind. Paul Auster's
SUN       poem, 'n memory of myself', brings the journey back
SUN       to the internal, where maybe this separation has now
SUN       become irreversible.
SUN       
SUN       My thanks to readers Janie Dee and Nicholas Farrell for
SUN       bringing to such vivid life the double world I had
SUN       imagined.

SUN       Christian McBride/European Jazz Orchestra
SUN       Julian Joseph talks to in-demand bassist Christian McBride
SUN       about his new band's first album, Inside Straight. A
SUN       musician who has long played with an acoustic line-up,
SUN       McBride has united pianist Eric Reed, alto saxophonist
SUN       Steve Wilson, drummer Carl Allen, and vibraphonist and
SUN       former pupil of his Warren Woolf for an album of hard
SUN       swing jazz and blues groove.
SUN       
SUN       Plus a concert given by the European Jazz Orchestra, one
SUN       of the most ambitious musical projects that the European
SUN       Broadcasting Union has created. A minimum of 19 players
SUN       from as many European countries assemble under the
SUN       direction of a host nation (this year Romania) who appoint
SUN       a musical director and commission music for the band. The
SUN       musicians then tour around Europe for two weeks ending
SUN       with one concert that is recorded for European Radio
SUN       broadcast. The musical director is Romanian-born Peter
SUN       Herbolizheimer, who has for the first time introduced
SUN       Latin percussion and three vocalists to the line-up.

MON       that lay at the centre of Tchaikovsky's creative life,
MON       from 1876 to 1890.
MON       
MON       He begins with an exploration of music written and
MON       performed in 1876, the year before Tchaikovsky's short and
MON       catastrophic marriage.

MON       From Cadogan Hall, London.
MON       
MON       Suzy Klein presents a chamber Prom in which former Radio 3
MON       New Generation Artists the Belcea Quartet pay homage to
MON       Haydn and Britten. The former's Quartet comes from a
MON       period in the 1780s when he declared that he was writing
MON       'in a new and special way', and the second-movement set of
MON       variations is characteristically unexpected and quirky in
MON       its shifting contrasts of mood.
MON       
MON       Britten's atmospheric and evocative Second Quartet was
MON       composed in 1945 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the
MON       death of Henry Purcell, and the finale is an extended set
MON       of variations which offers an extraordinary glimpse of
MON       Purcell's sound world refracted through the imagination of
MON       a composer who loved his music.

MON       Tennyson 200, Vicki Feaver on Ulysses
MON       Series in which contemporary British poets choose a single
MON       poem or extract by Tennyson and give a personal account of
MON       why it means so much to them.
MON       
MON       Vicki Feaver talks about Tennyson's long poem Ulysses,
MON       about the aged hero of Greek myth, driven to travel
MON       onwards even after reaching his home on Ithaca and his
MON       long-suffering wife Penelope. Tennyson was only 24 when he
MON       wrote it, soon after hearing of the death of his dear
MON       friend Arthur Hallam.
MON       
MON       Feaver believes the poem is about far more than physical
MON       travel or coping with grief. For her, Ulysses is about the
MON       need of the artist always to move forward - not, in her
MON       case, to succumb to benign pressure to tend her garden or
MON       be a good grandmother but to pursue her art and to follow
MON       Tennyson's rallying cry 'to strive, to seek, to find and
MON       not to yield'.

TUE       Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Episode 2
TUE       Donald Macleod takes a series of snapshots of a period
TUE       that lay at the centre of Tchaikovsky's creative life,
TUE       from 1876 to 1890.
TUE       
TUE       In 1877, Tchaikovsky took a sudden decision to get
TUE       married. He wasn't the first or last homosexual man to do
TUE       so, but the repercussions were calamitous, and the event
TUE       triggered a crisis from which some believe Tchaikovsky
TUE       never fully recovered. However, this was also the year of
TUE       two superlative pieces of music, both awash with
TUE       references that listeners have since interpreted as
TUE       autobiographical.

TUE       2009, Proms Plus, The Victorian Novel
TUE       Proms Literary Festival
TUE       
TUE       As part of the festival's Victorian season, Matthew Sweet
TUE       is joined by Roy Hattersley and Valentine Cunningham as
TUE       they champion the Victorian novel in all its forms. From
TUE       the elegance of Jane Austen and the thrilling sensation
TUE       novels of Wilkie Collins to the stately realism of George
TUE       Eliot and the bleakness of Thomas Hardy, the Victorian
TUE       novel is a treasure trove of literary riches.
TUE       
TUE       Roy and Valentine argue that these should still be seen as
TUE       pinnacles of English literature and their mix of
TUE       character, social upheaval, storytelling, melodrama,
TUE       malign fate and high style demonstrate a commitment to
TUE       portray the whole of life that is as relevant today as it
TUE       has ever been.

TUE       
TUE       The Prom concludes with Thierry Fischer and the BBC
TUE       National Orchestra of Wales performing music by Swiss
TUE       composer Heinz Holliger. (S)irato is an anguished lament
TUE       for Holliger's Hungarian teacher Sandor Veress, to whom
TUE       the piece is dedicated. Fragments of Hungarian folk songs
TUE       (collected by Bartok) revolve around a slowly evolving
TUE       mass of orchestral sound. There's even a part for that
TUE       most Hungarian of all instruments, the cimbalom.
TUE       
TUE       It is followed by Prokofiev's ballet score for Romeo and
TUE       Juliet, revealing all the intimacy, tragedy and tenderness
TUE       of Shakespeare's drama, and which was selected by the
TUE       concert's conductor.

TUE       Norman Lebrecht talks to president of the John F Kennedy
TUE       Center for the Performing Arts, Michael Kaiser. Known as
TUE       'the turnaround king' of performing arts, Kaiser has saved
TUE       numerous artistic organisations from closure. The American
TUE       describes himself as 'very gloomy' about the effect of the
TUE       current economic situation on the creative world and says
TUE       a lot more damage will be done to many more artistic
TUE       companies by the recession.
TUE       
TUE       Advocating spending more money on the arts in time of
TUE       economic difficulty, he also reflects on the turbulent
TUE       years he spent rebuilding the Royal Opera House over a
TUE       decade ago, on how he struggled to get the support of the
TUE       New Labour government and how time working in Britain was
TUE       the biggest challenge of his career.

TUE       From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Verity
TUE       Sharp.
TUE       
TUE       The London Sinfonietta and Harrison Birtwistle have formed
TUE       a close bond over the last four decades. Under the baton
TUE       of their co-founder David Atherton, Sinfonietta revisit
TUE       three of the composer's early works - all of which the
TUE       ensemble originally premiered. One of the themes of this
TUE       year's season is 1934, England at the Crossroads, the year
TUE       Birtwistle was born, and a turning point for British music
TUE       in the 20th century.
TUE       
TUE       Verses for Ensemble showcases the virtuosity of the
TUE       ensemble with brass, wind and percussion all vying for the
TUE       listener's attention. In Silbury Air and Carmen arcadiae
TUE       mechanicae perpetuum, Birtwistle explores the mysterious
TUE       and the mechanical with imaginary landscapes and colliding
TUE       musical ideas.

WED       from 1876 to 1890.
WED       
WED       1877 had been a wretched year for Tchaikovsky. His
WED       marriage had gone hideously wrong in a matter of days and
WED       had left deep emotional scars. But the following year,
WED       things began to look up. He left his job at the Moscow
WED       Conservatoire, which had been a millstone around his neck,
WED       and correspondence now flourished between Tchaikovsky and
WED       his 'best friend', the wealthy widow Nadhezda von Meck.
WED       The fact that he was now solvent, owing to a monthly
WED       allowance from her, must have helped.

WED       Ideas - The British Version, Episode 1
WED       In a programme exploring the origins of British
WED       intellectual traditions and their subsequent influence in
WED       the UK and abroad, historian and broadcaster Tristram Hunt
WED       examines the English philosopher John Locke's Letter
WED       Concerning Toleration and follows its influence across
WED       history and the world.
WED       
WED       Written in 1689 at a time of Prostestant persecution,
WED       Locke's work called for a new understanding of the
WED       relationship between religion and the state. Tristram
WED       visits Holland - where Locke wrote the Letter in exile -
WED       to hear about religious tolerance there and how it
WED       compared with contemporary England. Many Huguenots had
WED       fled religious persecution in France and he also visits
WED       one of their churches in London - which now functions as a
WED       mosque - to see what effect Locke's thinking had on the
WED       English establishment and faith communities of the 17th
WED       century as well as assessing its relevance today in
WED       multi-faith Britain.

WED       Tennyson 200, The Kraken
WED       Series in which contemporary British poets choose a single
WED       poem or extract by Tennyson and give a personal account of
WED       why it means so much to them.
WED       
WED       Welsh poet Gwyneth Lewis discusses Tennyson's poem The
WED       Kraken - a legendary sea-monster inhabiting the 'ancient,
WED       dreamless, uninvaded sleep' of the unchartered ocean,
WED       which, when ultimately it rises to the surface, is
WED       destined to die. She finds surprising poetic inspiration
WED       in this short, intense and unforgettable work.
WED       
WED       Lewis thought she had outgrown Tennyson around the time
WED       she did her O-levels. In fact, she was slightly
WED       embarrassed by her youthful rapture for what she
WED       considered his shallow Arthurian romances. Then, living on
WED       a boat off a small Spanish town, she was unexpectedly
WED       re-introduced to the poet by a local swimming pool
WED       attendant.

THU       from 1876 to 1890.
THU       
THU       'I don't think the piece has any serious merits, and I
THU       shan't be the slightest bit surprised or offended if you
THU       find it unsuitable for concert performance,' said
THU       Tchaikovsky of his 1812 Overture.
THU       
THU       Donald considers how the 1880s began for Tchaikovsky, with
THU       this outlandish piece of Russian pomp and circumstance -
THU       it was brash, vulgar and militaristic, but popular with
THU       British audiences, possibly owing to the musical
THU       dispatching of Napoleon's armies.
THU       
THU       But there were also with more refined masterpieces such as
THU       the Serenade for Strings and a look further back into

FRI       Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Episode 5
FRI       Donald Macleod takes a series of snapshots of a period
FRI       that lay at the centre of Tchaikovsky's creative life,
FRI       from 1876 to 1890.
FRI       
FRI       For Tchaikovsky, who was not the most prolific composer,
FRI       1890 was an astonishing year. A few days after the
FRI       premiere of Sleeping Beauty, he set off for Florence,
FRI       where he completed his opera Queen of Spades at breakneck
FRI       speed in just 43 days. Donald Macleod dips into the opera
FRI       and also enjoys Tchaikovsky's other Souvenir of Florence.

FRI       William Ward, an authority on 20th-century Italian
FRI       politics and culture, talks to historians and musicians to
FRI       ask if Respighi's famously colourful Fountains of Rome,
FRI       Pines of Rome and Roman Festivals are just a series of
FRI       picture postcards designed to please any tourist? Or do
FRI       they reflect a proto-fascist and fascist agenda?
FRI       
FRI       Illuminating this little-known corner of European cultural
FRI       history from the 1920s, 30s and 40s, William makes some
FRI       some surprising discoveries, such as the contrast between
FRI       Nazi and fascist policy, and the baleful shadow fascism's
FRI       legacy still casts over contemporary Italian musical life.

FRI       Tennyson 200, Tears, Idle Tears
FRI       Series in which contemporary British poets choose a single
FRI       poem or extract by Tennyson and give a personal account of
FRI       why it means so much to them.
FRI       
FRI       Kit Wright is often thought of as a poet for children or
FRI       of light verse, but in a celebration of one of Tennyson's
FRI       most poignant lyric poems, Tears, Idle Tears, he reflects
FRI       in a moving and scholarly way on the poet's ability to
FRI       capture the very essence of the human condition. In
FRI       defending the poem, he challenges the common notion that
FRI       Tennyson's gifts were no more than a supremely facile
FRI       mastery of the English language
