SAT       Who Was Carlos Kleiber?
SAT       Ivan Hewett explores the musical enigma of the late
SAT       conductor Carlos Kleiber. Despite huge demand and
SAT       adulatory critical praise for his work, he gave very few
SAT       perfomances and never granted an interview, increasing
SAT       speculation about his art and personality. Ivan talks to
SAT       some of the few who knew Kleiber well and attempts to
SAT       explain his mercurial and electrifying genius.
SAT       
SAT       While most great conductors have strongly-defined
SAT       profiles, views and attitudes, Kleiber, the son of an
SAT       equally feted conductor was and remains an enigma, with
SAT       rumours about him circulating far more freely than facts.
SAT       Primarily a recluse, he could only be persuaded into the
SAT       public arena, at least since the late 1980s, by the
SAT       combination of a momentous event, long rehearsal times and
SAT       a huge fee. These performances, though, were nothing less
SAT       than life-changing: concerts with the impact of religious
SAT       events. Kleiber was also one of the few maestros who,
SAT       although very demanding at rehearsal, was adored by the
SAT       musicians who played for him - and by other conductors.
SAT       
SAT       But why did he give so few performances? Why his obvious
SAT       insecurities? Did he really only make records 'when the
SAT       freezer ran out of food'? And what about Kleiber the man -
SAT       his life, his friends, his loves, his obsessions?

SAT       George Russell
SAT       In an interview recorded at the composer and theorist's
SAT       Boston home, Alyn Shipton presents a look back over the

SAT       than 50 years and his repertoire began with Dizzy
SAT       Gillespie's big band, going on to encompass modal jazz and
SAT       the dawn of jazz-rock fusion.

SAT       Gershwin's Let 'Em Eat Cake
SAT       
SAT       In a performance from the Grand Theatre in Leeds, Wyn
SAT       Davies conducts the British premiere of George and Ira
SAT       Gershwin's 1933 Broadway hit musical Let 'em Eat Cake -
SAT       the sequel to his more popular Of Thee I Sing.
SAT       
SAT       Like its follow-up, Let 'em Eat Cake was based on a book
SAT       by George S Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind, and had the same
SAT       producer, writers and stars in its original Broadway
SAT       incarnation. Its tone is much darker, though, and the
SAT       issues are more complex - including ironic references to
SAT       Fascism. However, Gershwin himself believed the piece
SAT       contained some of his best music, and thought it to be his
SAT       greatest achievment to date - although it never received
SAT       the plaudits he thought it deserved.
SAT       
SAT       It centres on US President John P Wintergreen, who after
SAT       serving four years seeks re-election, only to find voters
SAT       do not fall for his slogans and his 1930s spin. He loses
SAT       the election by a landslide, but under the new regime, the
SAT       political and economic situation spirals completely out of
SAT       control. Soon, Wintergreen leads a blue-shirted revolution
SAT       to victory, and the US is under the control of a new,
SAT       albeit tried and tested, dictator.

SUN       00:00 The Early Music Show b00fh20c (Listen)
SUN       Lucie Skeaping presents a programme featuring the music of
SUN       the Italian composer, Alessandro Stradella. Born in the
SUN       17th century into a noble family in Tuscany, Stradella was
SUN       a much-respected composer in his day and capitalised on
SUN       his family connections with noble patrons. Although he
SUN       seemed to have led a charmed life, it was also peppered
SUN       with various scandals, and ended tragically early at the
SUN       age of 42, stabbed by an assassin for reasons which are
SUN       still not clear. Lucie Skeaping plays a selection of
SUN       Stradella's music, including part of his oratorio San
SUN       Giovanni Battista.

SUN       Hanan al-Shaykh
SUN       Michael Berkeley's guest is Lebanese writer Hanan
SUN       al-Shaykh, who grew up in a strict Shi'a Muslim
SUN       environment, finishing her education at the American
SUN       Girls' College in Cairo. She then became a journalist in
SUN       Beirut, leaving in 1975 at the outbreak of the Lebanese
SUN       Civil War. She now lives in London with her family.
SUN       
SUN       She is the author of several novels that explore and
SUN       challenge the traditional roles of women in Muslim
SUN       societies. Many of her books, such as The Story of Zahra,
SUN       and Women of Sand and Myrrh deal frankly with sexual
SUN       issues, which have led to them being banned in more
SUN       conservative Muslim countries. Her latest work is The
SUN       Locust and the Bird, which is the story of her own
SUN       mother's life - heavily circumscribed by a patriarchal
SUN       society.
SUN       
SUN       Hanan al-Shaykh's musical choices range from Western
SUN       classical music - a movement of Bach's Keyboard Concerto
SUN       No 1 in D minor, BWV1052, played by Murray Perahia and the
SUN       Academy of St Martin in the Fields, Schubert's enigmatic
SUN       song Der Zwerg (The Dwarf) and Albinoni's haunting Adagio
SUN       in G minor - to American jazz (Jimmy Lunceford's Rhythm is
SUN       our Business, and Billie Holiday singing Strange Fruit).
SUN       She also chooses part of Philip Glass's soundtrack to the
SUN       film Temple of the Golden Pavilion and two different
SUN       examples of music from the Middle East, including music
SUN       for the Christian Good Friday ceremonies.

SUN       Ideas - The British Version (Series 2), Heartland Theory
SUN       Historian Tristram Hunt presents a series following the
SUN       surprising journeys of ideas that first developed in
SUN       Britain and then spread around the world.
SUN       
SUN       He traces the story of Sir Halford Mackinder, a forgotten
SUN       British geographer, and his geopolitical 'Heartland
SUN       Theory'. Mackinder argued that the geography of Eurasia
SUN       meant that Russia and its border countries constituted a
SUN       vast fortress, land-locked and impregnable - and that if
SUN       this 'heartland' ever fell under the control of a single
SUN       great power, it would give it the potential to dominate
SUN       the world.
SUN       
SUN       HIs idea, first aired in 1904, was largely ignored in
SUN       Britain, but in the years after the First World War, it
SUN       was taken up - and twisted into a disturbing new shape -
SUN       by a German geopolitician called Karl Haushofer. Haushofer
SUN       was Rudolf Hess's intellectual mentor, and tutored him and
SUN       Hitler while they were in prison in Munich in the 1920s.
SUN       Haushofer drew on Mackinder to argue that Germany should
SUN       form a grand alliance with Russia and Japan, in order to
SUN       dominate the Heartland.
SUN       
SUN       So when news of the Nazi-Soviet Pact surprised the world
SUN       in August 1939, American interest in Mackinder's theory
SUN       suddenly sparked into life, and spread like wildfire. In
SUN       the early 1940s, books, articles and even a Frank Capra
SUN       propaganda movie - which Tristram watches with Mackinder's
SUN       biographer - spelt out the Heartland idea and Haushofer's
SUN       perversion of it, dubbing it the 'Nazi plan for world
SUN       domination'.
SUN       
SUN       Finally, as it became clear that Germany would lose the
SUN       war, the elderly Mackinder himself was reached in his West
SUN       Country bolthole by the New York-based Foreign Affairs
SUN       magazine. They invited him to give his own take on how his
SUN       theory was relevant to the coming post-war world. Tristram
SUN       goes to meet the current Managing Editor of the magazine,
SUN       to see the letters between his predecessor and Mackinder,
SUN       and how the resulting article helped to set the stage for
SUN       the world after the war.
SUN       
SUN       Leading American foreign policy thinkers, steeped by now
SUN       in Mackinder's newly-prominent analysis, began to argue
SUN       that the emerging Soviet superpower needed to be
SUN       contained. Tristram talks to US foreign policy analysts,
SUN       including a former American Deputy National Security
SUN       Advisor, who argue that Mackinder's ideas underpinned
SUN       America's approach to the emerging Cold War.
SUN       
SUN       But is Mackinder relevant today, 20 years after the fall
SUN       of the Soviet Union? Tristram talks to scholars who argue
SUN       that the Heartland Theory is now being rediscovered in the
SUN       Heartland itself - in Russia and Central Asia.

SUN       An American Landscape
SUN       
SUN       Last broadcast on Sun, 1 Mar 2009, 22:15 on BBC Radio 3
SUN       
SUN       On a cold, gusting morning of January 1961 the poet Robert
SUN       Frost set out to read a specially composed poem at the
SUN       inauguration of John F Kennedy, the man on whom all
SUN       America’s hopes were pinned. But the sun’s glare and the
SUN       newness of the poem robbed Frost of his ability, his
SUN       confidence, to read. He fell back on a poem he’d written
SUN       in 1942. The Gift Outright explores in its few lines one
SUN       of the deepest and darkest matters facing Americans: the
SUN       nature of their brief relationship with the land, a land
SUN       once occupied by others. The poem, read by Jeff Perry is
SUN       followed by Virgil Thomson’s film score The Plow That
SUN       Broke the Plains, which was sponsored by the United States
SUN       Resettlement Administration.
SUN       
SUN       As the orchestrator of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, Ferde
SUN       Grofé couldn’t have been closer to the heart of American
SUN       music. In 1916, Grofé drove across the Arizona desert with
SUN       a group of friends to watch the sun rise over the Grand
SUN       Canyon. He was later inspired by the experience to compose
SUN       his famous Grand Canyon Suite.
SUN       
SUN       Some years before, in the late 1860’s John Wesley Powell,
SUN       a soldier turned naturalist embarked on the first
SUN       geological survey of the Grand Canyon. His journal, which
SUN       starts as a dry analysis of rock samples and description
SUN       of geological formations finally becomes a painting and a
SUN       hymn of praise to this unique American landscape. I found
SUN       writer and composer speaking in one language in their
SUN       breathless excitement in the presence of the Grand Canyon.
SUN       I think you’ll agree that Grofé’s music and Powell’s
SUN       journal exactly describe each other.
SUN       
SUN       Etta Baker's Appalachian guitar music is followed by
SUN       Copland’s take on the same region: part of his ballet
SUN       score Appalachian Spring. The White Mountains, part of the
SUN       Appalachian mountains, the most rugged in New England,
SUN       were visited in the 1830s by the novelist Nathaniel
SUN       Hawthorne who wrote an awe-inspiring account of his trip.
SUN       His connection with the area was forever sealed by his
SUN       death there on a subsequent visit many years later.
SUN       Copland’s classic orchestration of the Shaker hymn Simple
SUN       Gifts ends this section and is itself topped off by the
SUN       Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s own version of the original hymn.
SUN       
SUN       The composer Philip Glass has composed America with a
SUN       photographer’s eye, his unique, self-styled voice, mapping
SUN       America and American life and shipping it across the world
SUN       as the soundtrack of numerous films. His early score to
SUN       The Photographer, unswerving in its forward drive is the
SUN       adjunct to Robert Lowell’s haunting poem, The Mouth of the
SUN       Hudson, a description of a man standing on an outcrop
SUN       above a railroad siding and watching the trains switching
SUN       beneath him. It’s a neutral description until the word
SUN       ‘unforgivable’ at the end.
SUN       
SUN       The 20th century American composer Roy Harris was born in
SUN       1898 to poor parents, in a log cabin in Oklahoma, on
SUN       Abraham Lincoln's birthday. He had the perfect opportunity
SUN       to survey the American landscape as he worked for many
SUN       years as a trucker, criss-crossing the continent. You can
SUN       hear the lie of the land in his masterpiece Symphony No.3.
SUN       I mixed the symphony with John Ashbery’s poem Pyrography,
SUN       an elliptical commentary of America, written to accompany
SUN       a travelling exhibition of American landscape paintings.
SUN       
SUN       We end with Charles Ives, possibly the composer who
SUN       captured the spirit of America better than any other.
SUN       Whilst Harris was a trucker, Ives’s main job was in
SUN       insurance. That was no bar to him writing his totally
SUN       original and uncompromising musical reflection of the
SUN       America he saw and heard. His Three Places in New England
SUN       here prepares the way for Henry James’s reflection on the
SUN       New England landscape, which I have mixed with Ives’s
SUN       contemplative masterpiece The Unanswered Question.
SUN       Appropriately, that piece ends the programme.

MON       
MON       In a concert given at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester,
MON       Mark Elder conducts the Halle in music by Britten, Strauss
MON       and Shostakovich.
MON       
MON       It begins with the variations he wrote on a theme by his
MON       teacher Frank Bridge, Britten cast each variation as a
MON       memento to a specific quality in the elder composer's
MON       personality, aiming to capture his teacher's
MON       'energy...charm...wit...gaiety', as he wrote on the
MON       manuscript.
MON       
MON       This is followed by Richard Strauss's autumnal Second Horn
MON       Concerto and Shostakovich's stormy and lyrical Symphony No
MON       5. Written in 1937, in response to his incurring the wrath
MON       of the Soviet musical authorities, it is one of the
MON       composer's most popular works, and has an underlying
MON       darkness and an ironically triumphant finale - both a
MON       Stalinist victory hymn and a parody of one.

MON       Maureen Waller/Gustav Metzger
MON       Philip Dodd talks to historian Maureen Waller about her
MON       book telling the story of the English marriage through the
MON       ages. It reveals the plight of wives who were in the same
MON       legal category as lunatics and explains the process of
MON       chaotic change that has left us with the marital laws we
MON       have now. What does this much-cherished institution say
MON       about the mores of the English character?
MON       
MON       Plus a conversation with German artist Gustav Metzger,
MON       ahead of a retrospective of his work. The exhibition looks
MON       back over six decades of Metzger's working life,
MON       particularly the auto-destructive and auto-creative
MON       artworks with which he has become associated. Born to
MON       German-Jewish parents and educated in England, Metzger
MON       maintains a longstanding engagement with left-wing
MON       politics and an opposition to capitalism. He explains to
MON       Philip about his life and the major themes present in his
MON       work.

MON       Marshall Allen
MON       Jez Nelson presents a gig by avant-garde saxophonist
MON       Marshall Allen performed at Cafe Oto. Known for his deeply
MON       spiritual approach to music, influenced by space-age
MON       science-fiction and Egyptian cosmology, Allen stopped by
MON       the small East London venue while on a European tour with
MON       the Sun Ra Arkestra. The band features the Arkestra's
MON       25-year-old piano player Farid Barron alongside British
MON       musicians Paul Hession on drums and John Edwards on bass.
MON       
MON       Marshall Allen met mystical keyboardist and bandleader Sun
MON       Ra in 1956. They lived, rehearsed, toured and recorded
MON       together as part of Sun Ra's big band The Arkestra for
MON       over 40 years. Allen assumed leadership of the group after
MON       the death of Sun Ra in 1993 and John Gilmore in 1995, and
MON       continues to write new pieces for it. Allen also
MON       frequently works in traditional African music with
MON       Olatunji and his Drums of Passion.

TUE       in a programme featuring music by Britten and Debussy
TUE       about the sea, plus Turnage and Haydn.
TUE       
TUE       Few composers have captured the power and mystery of the
TUE       oceans better than Debussy and Britten - the former in his
TUE       swirling orchestral masterpiece, the latter in the
TUE       interludes from his best-loved opera. With Hardenberger
TUE       performing a work written for him by former CBSO
TUE       composer-in-association Mark-Anthony Turnage, along with

TUE       Clive James/Raymond Carver
TUE       Matthew Sweet talks to Clive James, celebrated Australian
TUE       essayist and commentator on culture both high and low,
TUE       about the latest installment of his much-feted memoirs,
TUE       Blaze of Obscurity, which now tackles his years as a TV
TUE       critic and which first brought him to public notice.
TUE       
TUE       American writer Raymond Carver is famous for the economy
TUE       of his expression and the sparseness of his prose. On the
TUE       publication of Carver's suprisingly verbose original
TUE       drafts, Matthew discovers the substantial editing process
TUE       that produced an icon of American literary style.

TUE       Enlightenment Voices, Voltaire, Voltaire and England
TUE       Series exploring the work of the French writer and
TUE       philosopher Voltaire.
TUE       
TUE       Professor Nicholas Cronk, director of the Voltaire
TUE       Foundation at the University of Oxford, explores how
TUE       Voltaire's encounter with English culture both influenced
TUE       the writer personally and had far-reaching consequences
TUE       for Enlightenment thinking generally.
TUE       
TUE       He explains why Voltaire came to England in the first
TUE       place and considers why the book of essays he wrote -
TUE       Letters Concerning the English Nation - has been described
TUE       as 'the first bomb thrown at the ancient regime' - a
TUE       praise of the country and a covert criticism
TUE       pre-revolutionary France.
TUE       
TUE       With his vivid and often highly contemporary observations
TUE       on religion, business, politics, science, philosophy and
TUE       literature, Voltaire's book on England is as striking
TUE       today as it was to both French and English readers when it
TUE       was first published in 1733.

THU       Featuring Britten's 1939 Canadian Carnival, which provides

THU       Enlightenment Voices, Voltaire, Voltaire and Religion
THU       Series exploring the work of the French writer and
THU       philosopher Voltaire.
THU       
THU       The cataclysmic Lisbon earthquake of 1755, in which tens
THU       of thousands of people died, is the starting point of
THU       Professor Simon Blackburn, of Cambridge University's
THU       philopsophy department, as he examines Voltaire's views on
THU       religion and belief. The event occurred on All Saints' Day
THU       - November 1st - which meant that the churches in one of
THU       the godliest cities in Catholic Europe were all packed,
THU       while the brothels were relatively empty. Where, Voltaire
THU       wondered, was divine providence in all this?
THU       
THU       Professor Blackburn explores not only Voltaire's
THU       coruscating views on the corrupt and powerful established
THU       Church, but also the complex question of his lingering
THU       faith. Above all, he examines the practical effect of
THU       Voltaire's ideas, celebrating the role of the
THU       Enlightenment in replacing the altars and thrones of an
THU       older Europe with the largely secular constitutional
THU       democracies that followed.

FRI       Enlightenment Voices, Voltaire, Voltaire's Library and
FRI       Legacy
FRI       Series exploring the work of the French writer and
FRI       philosopher Voltaire.
FRI       
FRI       Professor Nicholas Cronk, director of the Voltaire
FRI       Foundation at the University of Oxford, explores the
FRI       legacy of this greatest of Enlightenment figures. When
FRI       Voltaire died in 1778 aged 84, he was the most famous
FRI       writer in the world and his immortality was assured.
FRI       
FRI       Nicholas recounts the extraordinary story of the removal
FRI       of Voltaire's library of around 7,000 books from his
FRI       chateau in France all the way to St Petersburg, where
FRI       Catherine the Great planned to build a type of Voltaire
FRI       theme park.
FRI       
FRI       He explores Voltaire's celebrity status, both before and
FRI       after his death, and goes on to discuss how his ideas
FRI       about politics, religion and tolerance continue to
FRI       resonate today. Nicholas concludes with an illustration of
FRI       how - in the true spirit of the Enlightenment - writers
FRI       continue to debate with Voltaire and, in so doing,
FRI       perpetuate his legacy.
