SAT       12:15 Music Matters b00p8bjs (Listen)
SAT       Ten Years of Music
SAT       
SAT       As the first decade of the 21st century draws to a close,
SAT       Tom Service and a panel of experts and artists examine
SAT       what has happened in the world of music over the past ten
SAT       years.
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.

SAT       Lawrence Lucie
SAT       
SAT       Swing guitarist Lawrence Lucie died in August 2009, aged
SAT       101. Not long before his death, Lucie met Alyn Shipton in
SAT       New York to look back over his remarkable career, which
SAT       not only included stints with Fletcher Henderson, Lucky
SAT       Millinder and Benny Carter, but a long stay in Louis
SAT       Armstrong's orchestra. Lucie was also the longest
SAT       surviving member of Jelly Roll Morton's band, and he looks
SAT       back on his work with the self-styled 'inventor of jazz'.

SAT       To begin a new season of broadcasts from the Metropolitan

SAT       production of Puccini's ever-popular triple bill, which
SAT       all star soprano Patricia Racette.
SAT       
SAT       Il Tabarro tells the story of a love affair which, when

SAT       tale of a nun, banished to a convent after having had an
SAT       illegitimate child. This is followed by the light relief
SAT       of Gianni Schicchi in which the eponymous hero upsets the
SAT       grasping Donato family by impersonating their recently
SAT       deceased relative, ostensibly to ensure that the family
SAT       gets his properties while in fact taking the best of them
SAT       for himself.

SAT       Synopsis - Il Tabarro
SAT       
SAT       Michele’s barge on the Seine in Paris. 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       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       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       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.

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       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       By Steve Waters.
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       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       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       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       SCO/Robin Ticciati
MON       
MON       A concert given at City Halls, Glasgow, featuring the
MON       highly anticipated debut of young British conductor Robin
MON       Ticciati as principal conductor of the Scottish Chamber
MON       Orchestra.
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. The programme then pairs the
MON       expansive richness of Brahms's Second Symphony with the
MON       dark depth of Mahler's folk-inspired song cycle, performed
MON       by one of the most celebrated Czech stars of today,
MON       mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kozena.

MON       Sacred Monsters, Bertholt Brecht
MON       
MON       Special Night Waves series considering some of important
MON       cultural figures who have seen their reputations wither in
MON       the last decades. In the face of the collapse of
MON       communism, lurid biographical revelation, the authority of
MON       feminism and time itself, these grand male voices have
MON       seen their intellectual influence diminish - or even
MON       collapse.
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       Sacred Monsters, DH Lawrence
TUE       
TUE       Special Night Waves series considering some of important
TUE       cultural figures who have seen their reputations wither in
TUE       the last decades.
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.

WED       of international travel and immediately set about trying
WED       to secure a reputation as an operatic composer. He saw a
WED       real need not just for great German opera, but for a

WED       quest for a truly distinctive national style.

WED       Sacred Monsters, Bertrand Russell
WED       
WED       Special Night Waves series considering some of important
WED       cultural figures who have seen their reputations wither in
WED       the last decades.
WED       
WED       Anne McElvoy and guests, incuding philosopher AC Grayling
WED       re-assess the reputation of philosopher and public
WED       intellectual Bertrand Russell who, at the time of his
WED       death in 1970, had a seemingly secure reputation as one of
WED       the greatest thinkers of the 20th century. First, he
WED       transformed philosophical thinking through the application
WED       of rigorous mathematical logic and then moved on to become
WED       one of the most important commentators on a range of
WED       subjects, from nationalism to communism, imperialism to
WED       nuclear arms. Yet today Russell's standing has fallen
WED       dramatically. Questions have been raised about his sexual
WED       morals, his family life and his political views, and many
WED       now see him as a man who should never have stepped out of
WED       the rarified world of academia.

THU       Louis Spohr (1784-1859), Episode 4
THU       
THU       Donald Macleod explores the life and work of Louis Spohr,
THU       considering how he laid the musical foundations for other
THU       more famous composers.
THU       
THU       If history has not been as generous to Spohr as perhaps it
THU       might, one reason could be the high wall of Romanticism
THU       that seems to stand between us and the composer. The
THU       gracious elegance of Spohr's classicism seems altogether
THU       less grand than the gestures that were to follow from the
THU       pens of Berlioz, Bruckner, Mahler, Strauss and others, who
THU       he influenced.

THU       
THU       Rana Mitter and is joined by Jonathan Ree and Michell
THU       Roberts to re-assess the work of Jean-Paul Sartre, who by
THU       the middle of the 20th century, enjoyed a worldwide
THU       reputation as a great philosopher based largely on his
THU       defining work on existentialism. 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. Existentialism is often
THU       dismissed and Sartre himself is criticised for being
THU       anti-feminist.

FRI       
FRI       Donald Macleod concludes his exploration of the life and
FRI       work of Louis Spohr, considering some of the radiant works
FRI       that emerged - against the odds - during the composer's
FRI       last years. It was a time that was far from the restful,
FRI       contented autumn that it might have been, as the politics
FRI       of the town of Kassel, where Spohr lived and worked left a
FRI       sour taste in his mouth.

FRI       BBC SO - Robert Crumb
FRI       
FRI       In a concert given at the Barbican Hall, the BBC Symphony
FRI       Orchestra and friends explore the music of one of the most
FRI       original and unpredictable composers of our time - the
FRI       American maverick George Crumb. 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.
FRI       
FRI       Joanna MacGregor (piano)    Claudia Barainsky (soprano)
FRI       Trinity Boys Choir    New London Chamber Choir
FRI       BBC Symphony Orchestra    Martyn Brabbins (conductor)

FRI       Crumb: Echoes of Time and the River; Little suite for
FRI       Christmas AD 1979 for piano; Star Child
FRI       
FRI       Followed by a focus on Christmas music from around the

FRI       
FRI       Charlie Gillett with sounds from around the world, and a
FRI       studio session by one of New Zealand's finest, the
FRI       Wellington-based seven-piece band Fat Freddy's Drop.
FRI       
FRI       The band call themselves a 'seven-headed soul monster',
FRI       but their musical range also stretches to roots, dub,
FRI       reggae and jazz. 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.
