SAT SAT Review of the Decade SAT SAT On Music Matters this week, Tom Service marks the end of SAT the ‘noughties’, leading a discussion about the impact on SAT classical music of the decade’s many new and refurbished SAT arts centres, the changing face of the recording industry SAT and the revolutionary effect of technology and the SAT internet. SAT SAT Drawing on archive from Music Matters’ coverage of some of SAT the main events of the decade, Tom is joined by three SAT people who have each played a role in shaping the role of SAT classical music at the start of the 21st century – Jude SAT Kelly, Artistic Director of the South Bank Centre (which SAT re-opened in 2007), Anthony Sargent, General Director of SAT The Sage Gateshead (celebrating 5 years since its SAT opening), and Richard Morrison, Chief Music Critic of The SAT Times since 2001. SAT SAT New and Refurbished SAT SAT Ten years ago the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, SAT re-opened after a major refurbishment; the beginning of SAT the 21st century was difficult time for the company, but SAT Antonio Pappano, who arrived as Music Director in 2002, SAT tells Tom how the search for new audiences has resulted in SAT a transformation over the last few years. SAT SAT The opening and re-opening of many arts centres around the SAT UK has had a big impact on live performance, relationships SAT with audiences and the role of local communities. Jude and SAT Anthony react to interviews they gave Music Matters when SAT their respective buildings (re-)opened, and they discuss SAT the impact of others which include the London Coliseum, SAT home of English National Opera, to the Wales Millennium SAT Centre in Cardiff, Glasgow City Halls and the Grand SAT Theatre in Leeds. SAT SAT Recording Industry SAT SAT The decade has also been a rollercoaster ride for the SAT recording industry. It started with many predicting the SAT death of the CD; the format still accounts for 90% of SAT classical music sales, but the impact of the download SAT revolution, and new methods of sharing and distributing SAT music, has created a huge challenge for the industry. SAT SAT Paul Moseley, General Director of Decca’s A&R and SAT London-based operations, has experienced life on the SAT inside of two very different models; having started the SAT decade at Decca, he tells Tom why he left to set up the SAT independent record company Onyx, and why he recently came SAT back to the world of the majors. SAT SAT Technology and the Internet SAT SAT More generally, the role of technology and the internet SAT has transformed every aspect of classical music-making – SAT from composition and performance, to criticism. The SAT veteran American critic, and blogger on the future of SAT classical music, Greg Sandow, shares his thoughts on a SAT decade which has seen an explosion in the ways music and SAT ideas are shared online. SAT SAT Throughout the programme Jude, Anthony and Richard each SAT share their picks of the decade – the best operas, SAT composers, concerts and recordings – and they make some SAT predictions about the future of classical music in the UK. SAT As institutions across the country come to terms with the SAT effects of the recession, can the achievements of the last SAT ten years be sustained into the next decade? SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b00p8bjv (Listen) SAT The Vivaldi Revival SAT SAT Using landmark recordings, Lucie Skeaping charts the SAT rediscovery of Vivaldi in the late 19th century. His SAT music, now so familiar, had lain in virtual obscurity for SAT more than 150 years. SAT SAT In the late 19th century, Vivaldi had begun to creep back SAT into the standard repertoire after an absence of more than SAT 150 years. After his death in 1741, many dismissed Vivaldi SAT as a second-rate composer; Charles Avison declared that SAT Vivaldi lacked 'both harmony and invention', and the SAT popularity of his music fell into a steady decline. Some SAT 30 years later, on one of his grand musical tours, the SAT musicologist Charles Burney was unable to collect any SAT evidence, either direct or indirect, of Vivaldi's SAT existence in Venice. SAT SAT In the early 1800s, after it was discovered that Bach had SAT based a number of his own great works on Vivaldi models, SAT interest in the latter's music began to grow. Elgar SAT admitted that he had learned the art of figured bass from SAT a copy of Vivaldi's concertos; Fritz Kreisler published a SAT concerto under Vivaldi's name and only admitted the false SAT authorship after 22 years. SAT SAT In the 1930s, Ezra Pound hailed Vivaldi as a champion of SAT 'Italian musical autarchy', and he and his violinist SAT mistress Olga Rudge sponsored a number of performances of SAT his music in America and Europe. SAT SAT The earliest recording of The Four Seasons was made in SAT 1942 by Bernardo Molinari and the Orchestra dell'Accademia SAT di S Cecila, and those four concertos have since become SAT arguably some of the most recognisable pieces in the world. SAT SAT Lucie charts this remarkable revival of a once forgotten SAT master, using some of the landmark recordings in the SAT Vivaldi catalogue, and explores some of the most SAT interesting recent discoveries of Vivaldi scores.

Giorgetta is busy SAT with her chores, while her husband, Michele, stands on SAT deck. He asks her to kiss him, which she does, but without SAT affection. She offers wine to Luigi, one of the SAT stevedores, and they are joined by two other deckhands, SAT Tinca and Talpa. They begin a dance, only to be SAT interrupted by Michele’s return. SAT SAT With a song seller peddling his songs in the background SAT (“Primavera, primavera”), Giorgetta asks Michele why he SAT seems so troubled, but he does not answer. Talpa’s wife, SAT Frugola, arrives to take him home and displays the wares SAT she has collected on her daily rounds (“Se tu sapessi”). SAT Tinca plans to drown his troubles in drink; Luigi agrees SAT that is the only way to cope with their bleak existence SAT (“Hai ben ragione”). SAT SAT Frugola dreams of a little house in the country (“Ho SAT sognato una casetta”) and Giorgetta wishes she could leave SAT the barge (“È ben altro il mio sogno!”). She and Luigi SAT consider the beauty of the city and its quiet suburbs. SAT After Frugola and Talpa leave, Giorgetta and Luigi express SAT their love for each other (“O Luigi! Luigi!”). Suddenly, SAT Michele appears from the cabin, and Luigi, finding it SAT unbearable to share his beloved Giorgetta with another, SAT asks to be put off the barge when they reach Rouen. SAT SAT Michele convinces him not to leave his job, assuring him SAT there’s no work in Rouen, and returns to the hold. SAT Giorgetta and Luigi arrange to meet later that evening. SAT She will leave the gangplank in place and light a match SAT when Michele has gone to sleep. Luigi goes off and Michele SAT again comes on deck. SAT SAT Sensing Giorgetta’s restlessness, he tries to evoke her SAT past love for him by recalling happier days before the SAT death of their child. Failing to regain her affection, SAT Michele expresses his suspicions that Giorgetta is in love SAT with another man, but he cannot figure out who it is SAT (“Nulla! Silenzio!”). He settles down on the deck and SAT lights his pipe. Seeing the light, Luigi rushes on board SAT thinking it is Giorgetta’s signal. Michele grabs him, SAT forces him to admit his love for Giorgetta, and strangles SAT him, then conceals the body in his cloak. Giorgetta SAT reappears on deck to apologize to Michele, who throws open SAT his cloak to reveal Luigi’s dead body. SAT SAT Synopsis - Suor Angelica SAT SAT A convent. Sister Angelica and two lay sisters are late SAT for chapel. The Monitor chides them for not doing penance SAT as Sister Angelica has done. Some of the sisters confess SAT they still long for worldly pleasures — Sister Genovieffa SAT for the lambs she used to tend and Sister Dolcina for SAT sweet things to eat. Sister Angelica denies she has any SAT such desires, but the others know she desperately longs SAT for some word from her family. For seven years she has SAT heard nothing from them, and the sisters speculate that SAT she was a princess, banished to the convent for reasons SAT they have been unable to discover. SAT SAT Soon alms collectors arrive, distributing the food they SAT have gathered. One of them mentions that a magnificent SAT coach bearing a visitor stands outside the convent gate. SAT Angelica is startled and, with increasing anxiety, asks SAT her to describe the coach in detail. A bell rings SAT announcing the visitor. SAT SAT The Abbess enters and tells Angelica that her aunt, the SAT Princess, has come to see her. Approaching, the Princess SAT rejects Angelica’s gestures of affection. The Princess SAT explains that when Angelica’s parents died, she was made SAT guardian of both Angelica and her sister, Anna Viola, and SAT was given control over their inheritance (“Il principe SAT Gualtiero”). Anna Viola is to be married, and the Princess SAT demands Angelica sign her share over to her sister. Having SAT brought disgrace on the family name, the Princess SAT declares, Angelica is no longer entitled to any part of SAT the inheritance. Crushed by her aunt’s cruelty, Angelica SAT swears she has repented. SAT SAT She cannot, however, erase the memory of her little son, SAT who, she learns, died two years ago. Her will now broken, SAT Angelica sobs and signs the document. The Princess SAT withdraws and Angelica grieves that her son died without SAT his mother by his side (“Senza mamma”). Resolving to join SAT her child in heaven, she drinks poison. She is then struck SAT by the reality of what she has done and prays for SAT salvation. A celestial choir is heard and Angelica sees a SAT vision of the Blessed Virgin with her child. SAT SAT Synopsis - Gianni Schicchi SAT SAT The Palazzo of Buoso Donati in Florence. The greedy SAT relatives of the wealthy Buoso Donati gather at his SAT deathbed to mourn his passing and investigate the details SAT of his will. There are rumors that the old man has left SAT nearly everything to a monastery. If his will has not been SAT filed with a notary, however, there is still hope for the SAT relatives, who begin a frantic search for the document. SAT Young Rinuccio finds it and makes his Aunt Zita promise to SAT let him marry his beloved Lauretta if there is enough SAT money. SAT SAT They read the will, which proves the rumors were true; the SAT relatives finally shed genuine tears. Rinuccio suggests SAT that Lauretta’s father, Gianni Schicchi, a shrewd SAT self-made man, can help them: this new breed of SAT peasant-turned-businessman will invigorate Florence, which SAT the young man compares to a tree in full flower (“Firenze SAT è come un albero fiorito”). SAT SAT Schicchi appears with Lauretta. Disgusted by the hypocrisy SAT and avarice of the aristocratic family, Schicchi is about SAT to leave but decides to stay when Lauretta proclaims her SAT intention to marry Rinuccio (“O mio babbino caro”). SAT Reading the will, Schicchi devises a plan to impersonate SAT the dead man. He sends Lauretta home and orders the body SAT removed from the bed. SAT SAT The doctor arrives to check on Buoso, but Schicchi’s voice SAT convinces the addled doctor that the patient is improving. SAT Schicchi tells the relatives to send for the notary and, SAT putting on Buoso’s nightshirt and cap, promises to dictate SAT a new will. The relatives each try to get a promise from SAT Schicchi that he will leave the best parts of the estate SAT to them. Schicchi agrees with every secret request and SAT warns each that they must keep the secret forever or face SAT the punishment as accessories to a fraud — a hand cut off SAT and eternal banishment from Florence. SAT SAT The notary arrives with witnesses, and Schicchi dictates SAT that the great part of the estate, including the house SAT they are all in, is to be left to his good friend Gianni SAT Schicchi! The relatives are furious but can say nothing, SAT and when the notary leaves they fall on Schicchi and steal SAT what they can from the house. Schicchi orders them out of SAT his house and points to the young lovers, standing out on SAT the terrace gazing at the blossoming city. Turning to the SAT audience, he points out how happy his fraud has made the SAT young lovers, and pleads for a verdict of not guilty. SAT SAT 22:00 Between the Ears b00p8bk5 (Listen) SAT The Great Bell SAT SAT Using stories, poems and sounds, Stephen Gill presents a SAT portrait of bonshou - Japanese Buddhist temple bells - SAT which are considered essential to the country's national SAT identity. SAT SAT Bonshou are housed in an open wooden tower instead of in a SAT belfry. They do not have clappers and are struck by huge SAT tree trunks, suspended from ropes, swung against them from SAT outside. Each Old Year is rung out with 108 booms from SAT every the bell throughout the land. Every Japanese person SAT has the right to one strike, in order to consume the sins SAT of the old year and purify them for the new. SAT SAT The Gion bonshou, at 80 tonnes (six times the weight of SAT Big Ben), is the heaviest in the land and it takes 20 SAT monks to swing the beam in order for it to sound. Ikko SAT Iwasawa, who runs the foundry that cast the largest bell SAT in Japan, explains the mystery of creating such huge bells SAT as one is being cast. The Rev Eishou Kawahara, the head SAT priest of Rengein, whose bell can be heard for 40 SAT kilometres, reveals their spiritual meaning and the impact SAT they have on people. SAT SAT Stephen Gill has lived in Japan for many years and speaks SAT the language fluently. He weaves into the recordings SAT stories of famous bells, haiku poems about them and, most SAT importantly, the sounds of all these bonshou, each of SAT which has its unique voice.

Founded in 1959, they were one of the SUN first groups to give performances of the 18th-century SUN music from the Veneto region of Italy. They made some of SUN the first recordings of many concertos and opera by SUN Vivaldi as well as music by Tartini and Albinoni. SUN SUN As Scimone marks his 75th birthday, Catherine pays tribute SUN to the conductor and his group, which is still actively SUN engaged in Baroque research and still touring all over the SUN world. For many people, Scimone offered their first SUN experience of this repertory, and with a catalogue of more SUN than 350 recordings and numerous awards to his credit, he SUN and I Solisti Veneti still provide the only recording SUN option in the catalogue for many important baroque works. SUN SUN Scimone talks about how and why he established I Solisti SUN Veneti back in 1959; about his ideas on interpretation; SUN and about the fruits of some of his research, such as the SUN re-discovery of important Italian scores by Albinoni and SUN Tartini.

SUN SUN 17:00 Discovering Music b00p8dcb (Listen) SUN The Benny Goodman Legacy SUN SUN As part of the 2009 London Jazz Festival, Alyn Shipton SUN presents a special programme from the BBC Radio Theatre SUN exploring two remarkable but very different 'classical' SUN clarinet concertos which were composed for the great jazz SUN clarinettist Benny Goodman: works by Malcolm Arnold and SUN Aaron Copland. Alyn chooses tracks from Goodman's SUN extensive jazz discography to illustrate some of the focal SUN points in the concertos, while the two pieces are bought SUN to life with the help of soloist Julian Bliss and the SUN Trinity College of Music Chamber Orchestra conducted by SUN Andrew Gourlay. SUN SUN Born in 1909, Goodman was an astonishing child prodigy and SUN young master of jazz and, by the end of the 1930s, he was SUN arguably the most famous clarinettist in the world. But as SUN his fame grew, he became increasingly anxious about what SUN he saw as the limitations of his skills. He completely SUN re-learned his technique and, in the late 1940s when Aaron SUN Copland was writing a concerto for him, Goodman adopted a SUN new embouchure and even had some surgery on his hands to SUN get rid of the calluses that he had created by his SUN unorthodox fingering. SUN SUN Copland's concerto, economically scored for harp, piano SUN and strings, contains music inspired by many different SUN styles - jazz, American country dance, the blues and even SUN a touch of the Latin influence, which was thought to be a SUN result of the composer's living in Rio de Janeiro. It is SUN clear to many that Copland kept Benny Goodman absolutely SUN in mind when he was writing the piece, as the work is a SUN showcase for the soloist to demonstrate not only his SUN dexterity and articulation, but also his warm, luxurious SUN tone.

SUN SUN A powerful new version of the play originally staged at SUN The Bush Theatre in London, addressing the subject of SUN climate change. As Britain faces unprecedented and SUN catastrophic floods, government and scientists argue over SUN what action to take. A young glaciologist arrives in SUN Whitehall determined to convince the powers that be of the SUN importance of immediate action. But he is also bent on SUN avenging his father, a scientist whose views were SUN discredited a generation ago. SUN SUN Will Paxton ...... Joseph Kloska SUN Sarika Chatterjee ......

SUN SUN 22:00 Sunday Feature b00p8dcj (Listen) SUN Closer to Blood than Ink SUN SUN Nick Rankin reassesses the life and work of much-loved SUN Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, focusing in particular on his SUN role in getting refugees out of Franco's Spain, and what SUN this unknown but highly significant story reveals about SUN him. SUN SUN In 1938, Neruda was a diplomat, representing Chile in SUN Paris. He chartered a ship, the SS Winnipeg, to convey SUN 2,000 Spanish Republicans to Chile. He was there on the SUN quay, in a white hat, waving them off. And he wrote the SUN poem Let Me Explain a Few Things in which he disowned his SUN previous romantic and lyrical self and committed himself SUN to exposing the world's injustices. i SUN SUN But it has been alleged that Neruda was a kind of reverse SUN Schindler, with a list of people who were not going to get SUN on the Winnipeg. As a diplomat, he had access to passports SUN and it is said he made sure these went only to those of SUN his particular left-wing Stalinist beliefs. According to SUN Neruda's critics, the anarchists and more moderate SUN socialists were rejected and were therefore interned in SUN France. Many were executed soon after when the Nazis moved SUN in. SUN SUN Nick investigates this episode in Neruda's life, talking SUN to the poet's latest biographer Adam Feinstein, to writer SUN Stephen Schwarz, who makes the allegation, to anarchist SUN publisher Stuart Christie, poet Jane Duran, whose father SUN was close to, then rejected by Neruda, and to Victor Pey SUN in Santiago, who was one of those who sailed on the SUN Winnipeg. He considers the impact it had on his poetry and SUN reassesses that achievement. SUN SUN 22:45 Words and Music b00p8dcl (Listen) SUN Hope and Despair SUN SUN Romola Garai and Tim McMullan read poetry and prose on the SUN theme of hope and despair. With poetry from TS Eliot, SUN Tennessee Williams and Emily Dickinson. Including readings SUN from the works of George Orwell and Roald Dahl, as well as SUN music by Shostakovich, Biber and George Crumb. SUN SUN Romola Garai SUN SUN Tim McMullan SUN SUN Producer note SUN SUN When exploring the many guises of hope and despair, there SUN are inevitable moments where the fine line between the two SUN is blurred. Hope can be innocent, ecstatic and false. It SUN acts as the promise of escape, and yet we can sometimes SUN only resort to it at our lowest ebb. Despair can only be SUN reached once all optimism has been lost, yet it can be the SUN most ardent displays of hope that can lead us to SUN desperation. SUN SUN In Christianity, the word hope is one of three theological SUN virtues associated with salvation and possibly alluded to SUN in the reading from Job that begins the programme. SUN SUN Emily Brontë’s poem Hope feels almost adolescent in its SUN abandonment, and the lyrics of Radiohead’s No Surprises SUN similarly flirt with youthful hopelessness. Christopher SUN O’Riley lends the song a melancholic arrangement for solo SUN piano. SUN SUN David Fanshawe’s setting of Et In Spiritum Sanctum (I SUN believe in the holy spirit) in his African Sanctus SUN poignantly couples field recordings from his time in Sudan SUN with a female choir. With an improvised drum made out of a SUN bottle and a small thumb piano, refugees from the SUN Sudan-Uganda border sang of their Lord Jesus Christ, their SUN Saviour and Deliverer. SUN SUN The composer George Crumb was fascinated by the poetry of SUN Federico García Lorca. The extract I’ve chosen, from SUN Ancient Voices of Children, sets the words Todas las SUN tardes en Granada, todas las tardes se muere un niño SUN (Every afternoon in Granada, a child dies, every SUN afternoon) against a passage from Bach’s Notebook of Anna SUN Magdalena rendered haunting and bleak by the toy piano. SUN SUN Schubert’s song cycle Winterreise is often viewed as a SUN wanderer’s journey towards despair. Yet some people assert SUN that the last song Der Leiermann is really about hope - SUN the organ grinder isn’t summoning him to death, rather SUN willing him on to keep living. With this in mind, there’s SUN an interesting juxtaposition in placing this song next to SUN Sibelius’s most detailed tone poem Pohjola’s Daughter - SUN both are in the brooding key of G minor. Sibelius would SUN grapple with alcoholism throughout his life, and his tone SUN poems have been described as a personal expression of his SUN internal dichotomy. According to the Kaleva story, the SUN steadfast and old Väinämöinen, whilst out riding his SUN sleigh, tries to win over the daughter of the North SUN (Pohjola). She will only leave her rainbow for a man who SUN can fulfil several challenging tasks. Although he attempts SUN these tasks, Väinämöinen's hopes are dashed when thwarted SUN by evil spirits and he ends up continuing his journey SUN alone. SUN SUN In the Act 2 orchestral interlude of Britten’s opera Peter SUN Grimes, an uncomfortable motive methodically repeats over SUN and over again. The men of the Borough are on their way to SUN Grimes’ hut to confront him. For me, this is the pivotal SUN moment in the score where Grimes’ despair defeats his SUN hopes of marrying Ellen. SUN SUN The programme ends with the last pages of George Orwell’s SUN novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Winston has finally SUN capitulated to the salvation of Big Brother. The utter SUN banality of repeating quavers in the strings at the end of SUN Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony jar against the celebratory SUN fanfares in the brass. Is everything really alright?

MON MON It begins with Henze's First Symphony, which although MON composed by a youthful 21-year-old who had just lived MON through the horrors of Hitler's Germany, is surprisingly MON pastoral and light-hearted.

MON MON Philip Dodd and guests offer a re-appraisal of the work MON and influence of the great German dramatist Bertolt MON Brecht. Once considered to be the essence of radical MON drama, his plays and productions were considered models of MON modernity, intellectual insight and social commentary. Yet MON the word Brechtian can now seem to represent to many MON people a production that is leaden, a message which is MON laboured and a design that is drab and unimaginitive. Are MON his political fables now fatally outdated and his dramatic MON techniques no longer effective? Or is it time to take the MON man who once bestrode the theatrical landscape of Europe MON and place him back at the centre of the stage?

TUE TUE Matthew Sweet and guests consider DH Lawrence, who was TUE once a key figure not just for academics and bibliophiles, TUE but a major cultural and political phenomenon. He was an TUE outsider, a radical thinker who dared to live in TUE accordance with his beliefs and write novels which showed TUE the truth about human nature to society. His novels were TUE talked about everywhere and became major films. TUE TUE Yet over the past 20 years, Lawrence's reputation has been TUE in question. Feminist critics have condemned his attitude TUE to women and to sex. Television and film have now TUE concentrated on Lady Chatterley's Lover and his name in TUE general conversation tends to indicate erotica. TUE TUE With guests including Hermione Lee, Matthew asks if TUE Lawrence is actually one of greatest writers, social TUE campaigners and radical thinkers, or simply a writer TUE preoccupied with the bodily attitudes of the early 20th TUE century.

He used his fame to THU become a prominent political and social campaigner, and THU was revered not just for his intellect but for his liberal THU principles. Yet since his death Sartre has come to be THU regarded by some as a figure of fun, a cliche of obscure THU and irrelevant complication whose thought has little THU relevance in general life.

Born in 1929 in FRI Charleston, West Virginia, Crumb is hard to categorise, FRI and is seen as a sonic inventor and a musical pioneer. FRI There's a haunting sense of the mystical and spiritual FRI about his work but it is also delicate and theatrical, FRI rich in references to non-western music and composers such FRI as Bach and Chopin. FRI FRI The BBC SO perform his 1968 Pulitzer Prize-winning piece FRI Echoes of Time and the River, which explores the nature of FRI the passing of time, with the performers processing around FRI the stage in four lines each at different speeds. FRI FRI Pianist Joanna MacGregor joins the celebration playing his FRI Little Suite for Christmas, AD 1979, described as a 'holy FRI tone-poem' for piano, inspired by Giotto's frescoes in the FRI Scrovegni Chapel. FRI FRI The orchestra is then joined by soloists, soprano Claudia FRI Barainsky, the Trinity Boys Choir and the New London FRI Chamber Choir for a performance of Crumb's largest work in FRI terms of performing forces, Star-Child, which traces a FRI blazing, inspired vision from apocalyptic darkness to FRI redeeming light.

A fiercely independent group, they forned FRI their own label The Drop in 1999 to release their first FRI tracks. They made their reputation as a live band playing FRI long improvisations, then in 2006 they released their FRI first full studio album, Based on a True Story, which FRI became an international hit. They now regularly tour FRI summer festivals across the world and their second album, FRI Dr Boondigga and the Big BW - a reference to major record FRI labels - was released in 2009. FRI FRI
