SAT SAT He visits Cambridge, ahead of a week of choral concerts SAT marking the university's 800th anniversary, to explore the SAT past, present and future place of singing in the city. He SAT also discusses the role of music in cancer care with Don SAT Campbell of Mozart Effect fame. SAT SAT Imogen Cooper SAT SAT Pianist Imogen Cooper has been on a lifelong mission with SAT the music of Schubert. She recorded the complete piano SAT works 20 years ago, and is currently touring and recording SAT the major works Schubert composed in the last five years SAT of his life. SAT SAT Seated at the piano, she tells Tom how her approach to SAT Schubert's music has changed since her lonely teenage SAT days studying in Paris, and how it is only now that she SAT understands how to convey the range of emotional SAT experience in the music. SAT SAT Imogen Cooper performs Schubert at the Sage Gateshead on SAT 15th April, and at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London on SAT 22nd April (broadcast on Performance on 3 on 1st May). SAT SAT Her new Schubert CD, recorded at the QEH in 2008, is out SAT now. SAT SAT Music in Cancer Care SAT SAT Over recent decades music therapy has successfully used SAT the power of music in healthcare situations, to soothe or SAT energise, and to escape from, or confront, pain. Last SAT week, Penny Brohn Cancer Care hosted their annual lecture SAT on how music therapy is used for cancer patients. SAT SAT Leslie Bunt has been working as a music therapist at the SAT Penny Brohn centre for 20 years, and he shares his SAT experience of how his sessions have helped scores of SAT patients - including Janice Perkins, who tells her own SAT story. And Don Campbell (the musician who mooted the SAT Mozart Effect a decade ago) explains how the sonic SAT environment of hospitals can help patients heal. SAT SAT Penny Brohn Cancer Care SAT SAT Orchestral Musicians and Stress SAT SAT Watching an orchestra in concert, it can be easy to feel SAT jealous of the musicians, of the talent and opportunity to SAT make a living making music with others. Yet there is SAT another side to the life of an orchestral player, with SAT performance anxiety, the pressure to maintain standards SAT and a precarious employment situation as a freelancer SAT (which most British orchestral players are) all adding up SAT to a potentially stressful existence. SAT SAT Liz Gardiner is a violinist, now working as a music SAT therapist, who stopped playing professionally partly due SAT to stress - she tells her story, and Tom discusses the SAT issues with psychologist Carol Chapman and Stephen SAT Maddock, Chief Executive of the City of Birmingham SAT Symphony Orchestra. SAT SAT Cambridge at 800 SAT SAT It is 800 years since a group of disaffected monks from SAT Oxford set up what would become the University of SAT Cambridge on a marsh in East Anglia. Among the SAT celebrations in this year's octenary is the Cambridge SAT Cantat festival, celebrating Cambridge's choral SAT tradition. SAT SAT Tom visited Cambridge and talked to choral scholars at SAT King's, composer John Rutter, choir director and SAT Cantat's Artistic Director Edward Wickham. And in the SAT archives at King's* - where choristers have been singing SAT for nearly 600 years - Timothy Day from King's College SAT London discusses the city's rich choral heritage. SAT SAT * By kind permission of the Provost and Scholars of King's SAT SAT The Cambridge Cantat 800 festival runs from 11 to 19 April SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b00jkskx (Listen) SAT Philip II and Mary Tudor SAT Lucie Skeaping presents music from both the courts of King SAT Philip II of Spain and Mary Tudor.

SUN SUN 22:00 Sunday Feature b00jkt2z (Listen) SUN Handel Week: Liquid Assets - Handel's Finances SUN BBC business correspondent Peter Day looks at Handel's SUN extraordinary success on the stock market as well as SUN examining the financial matters involved in putting on SUN operas and oratorios in 18th-century London. SUN SUN Handel speculated in the newly-formed London stock market SUN throughout his life in the capital. Strikingly, he put SUN money into South Sea stock in 1716 when prices were low SUN and had sold up by 1720 when the South Sea credit bubble SUN burst in one of the great financial cataclysms in fiscal SUN history. Many others lost fortunes, including Sir Isaac SUN Newton, warden of the Royal Mint. The composer profited SUN handsomely and, while others shied away from the SUN uncertainties of speculation, he continued to invest SUN throughout his life. From 1744 Handel's investments just SUN grew and grew. SUN SUN Talking to Handel experts and financial historians, Peter SUN Day enters the tough economics of 18th-century SUN music-making and visits the Bank of England to see the SUN composer's extravagant signature on numerous ledgers as he SUN traded annuities. SUN SUN 22:45 Words and Music b00jkt31 (Listen) SUN Handel's Divas SUN SUN Geraldine James and Michael Maloney read extracts from SUN journals, newspapers, letters and poetry of Handel's time SUN about the highs and lows of opera and oratorio SUN performances in London. These are interspersed with music SUN by the composer himself. SUN SUN In his London operas, Handel provided vehicles for the SUN most famous singers, mostly brought over from Italy. The SUN infamous rivalries between singers such as Senesino, SUN Cuzzoni and Faustina were played out in public. SUN SUN Opera in London during the 18th century was much talked SUN about, and there is a wealth of material from which to SUN choose which highlights differing opinions, anecdotes and SUN accounts of the activities of all those involved in their SUN performance, composition and production. It is a rich seam SUN to be mined, but in the end I decided to focus on a SUN particular time in Handel's life in London. The Royal SUN Academy of Music was founded in 1719 to establish regular SUN seasons of Italianate opera seria in London, and Handel SUN provided vehicles for the most famous singers, mostly SUN brought over from Italy. SUN SUN The programme begins with an observation from the famous SUN musical historian and commentator - Charles Burney - SUN who knew and admired Handel. He gives a clear picture of SUN the personality of Handel - a little impatient perhaps SUN and prone to say what he thought, but not at all SUN malicious. Ironic, therefore, that he had to endure the SUN petty squabblings of his opera singers. SUN SUN The opening music I think reflects the gentler side of the SUN composer with a beautiful interpretation of his trio SUN sonata for flute and violin. SUN SUN Longfellow's poem about the three singers sets the tone SUN for the rest of the programme - the idea that singers SUN working together can create wonderful harmony, but warns SUN of the inevitable discord which can arise from jealousy SUN and competition. SUN SUN Rinaldo pre-dates the Royal Academy but was the first of SUN Handel's London operas. Contemporary writing from John SUN Gay (famous for his 'Beggar's Opera') and the author SUN Daniel Defoe highlight the obsession at that time with SUN opera, and in particular some of the singers. One of the SUN most famous was the castrato Francesco Bernadi, otherwise SUN known as Senesino (a nickname inspired by his birth place SUN - Sienna). He enjoyed enormous success during his stay SUN in London but was a difficult character by all accounts. SUN Yet he had a superb voice, and in the recording of Va SUN Tacito e nascosto (from Giulio Cesare in Egito)[Silently SUN and stealthily the cunning hunter moves] David Daniels's SUN almost womanly countertenor voice I think is probably one SUN of the closest ideas we will ever have as to what a real SUN castrato may have sounded like. SUN SUN Italian singers were not always received well, with the SUN inevitable xenophobia in some publications, which could be SUN quite acerbic at times. They were hugely popular, though, SUN and it was not long before more arrived and delighted more SUN and more admirers. You can almost hear the baying crowds SUN in A Legend of the Haymarket, Richard Barham's SUN boisterous poem about the public demand for their SUN favourite singer. SUN SUN The next darling of the opera stage to arrive from Italy SUN was Francesca Cuzzoni. Her debut was in Ottone, and the SUN aria Falsa imagine [false picture] became a big hit with SUN audiences. Cuzzoni was apparently no great beauty, but she SUN won the hearts of all with her voice. Robert Leighton's SUN enraptured poem is in fact about a singer from a century SUN later, also famous for singing Handel, but aptly reflects SUN the reactions of the time for Cuzzoni. SUN SUN A short while after Cuzzoni, along came Faustina Bordoni SUN who became just as popular. The duet Placa l'alma, SUN quieta il petto! (from Alessandro) [bid the soul rest, and SUN still thy breast] was written specifically for these two SUN divas to show off their talents, and it was not long SUN before there was a debate as to who was the better. The SUN rivalry was infamous and the hostility between the two SUN women was so great that they actually came to blows on SUN stage during an opera by Handel's own rival - Bononcini. SUN The incident caused great offence to the Princess of SUN Wales, who was present, and brought the season to an SUN abrupt end. SUN SUN The satirical writing of the time is cruel, harsh and SUN sometimes very funny at the singers' expense. A SUN favourite device was to create scenes and letters, SUN anonymously written and published in pamphlets, purporting SUN to be the thoughts and words of the singers themselves. SUN SUN The stormy aria Furie terribili [fearful furies] from SUN Rinaldo dates from before the furore, but aptly reflects SUN the turbulence with its astonishing thunder effects, which SUN the original production would have had, special effects SUN being very much in vogue at the time. SUN SUN Eventually, things calmed down, singers moved on, and the SUN Royal Academy was restructured. Handel continued writing SUN smash hit operas, but eventually, in 1742, The Messiah was SUN to open up a whole new area of Handel's music to SUN audiences - the oratorio. SUN SUN Meanwhile, the delightfully gossipy correspondence of Mrs SUN Pendarves gives us a real insight into the thoughts and SUN activities of these music lovers and her warm account of SUN Mr Handel playing to her guests creates an intimate SUN picture of 18th century home entertainment. The Harmonious SUN Blacksmith remains one of Handel's most popular keyboard SUN pieces to this day, and I can just imagine his friends SUN requesting that he play it to them whilst they drink their SUN 'white mulled wine'. SUN SUN Finally, Ben Jonson's The musical strife; in a pastoral SUN dialogue brings back the theme of competing singers, but SUN concludes (in just the same manner that Longfellow did at SUN the beginning of the programme), that true harmony is SUN achieved by striving together rather than against each SUN other. And what better way to demonstrate this than with SUN one of Handel's most popular and exquisite pieces of all SUN - the duet As steals the morn upon the night (from SUN L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato) which SUN essentially advocates the motto 'moderation in all SUN things'!

MON MON Both Paul Hindemith and Kurt Weill fled Nazi Germany, as MON the regime not only banned performances of their music, MON but moved against them personally. Hindemith had naively MON invited Hitler himself to come and sit in on one of his MON music tutorials to prove to him he was no threat, but MON Weill was under no illusions and he fled Germany in March MON 1933 with just a few of his personal belongings.

An annual fixture MON since 1978, the festival continues to lead the way in the MON revival of Handel's music in the UK. MON MON Countertenor Daniel Taylor sings some of the best Italian MON arias written by Handel to showcase the exceptional MON talents of the castrato, Senesino, who was a big star in MON his day. Handel helped negotiate his appearances in MON London, which drew in excited audiences. The programme MON also features two of Handel's concerti grossi, and a MON concerto by his friend Telemann. MON MON Handel: Concerto grosso in D, Op 6, No 5; Concerto grosso MON in C minor, Op 6, No 8 Telemann: Flute concerto in D MON Handel: arias - Dove sei (Rodelinda); Cara sposa MON (Rinaldo); L'Empio (Giulio Cesare); Un zeffiro MON (Rodelinda); Domero la tua fierezza (Giulio Cesare) MON MON Daniel Taylor (countertenor) Rachel Brown (flute) MON London Handel Orchestra MON Adrian Butterfield (violin/director) MON MON Plus a visit to the Handel House at Halle with Sarah MON Walker and excerpts from Handel's Keyboard Suites, MON specially recorded by harpsichordist Laurence Cummings. MON MON 21:15 Night Waves b00jlc1l (Listen) MON Landmarks: The Norman Conquests MON In a Night Waves Landmark programme, Matthew Sweet marks MON Alan Ayckbourn's 70th birthday with an exploration of his MON most famous work, the 1974 trilogy The Norman Conquests. MON MON A huge theatrical hit when they were first performed in MON the early 1970s, each of three plays comprising the Norman MON Conquests are set in a different rooms of a suburban house MON over one weekend, and chart the comic relationships MON between six characters. MON MON The original West End production featured a celebrated MON cast which included Michael Gambon, Penelope Keith, MON Felicity Kendall, and Tom Courtenay as the bearded and MON feckless Norman. MON MON However, successful as Ayckbourn's plays have always been MON with audiences, there has been a perception from some in MON the theatrical critical establishment that this was no MON more than comfortable entertainment. He was not considered MON worthy of the respect given to a Pinter, Osborne or Hare. MON MON When Kevin Spacey decided to stage The Norman Conquests in MON 2008 at The Old Vic, it was seen as a risky decision - MON what amused an audience back in the early 1970s was MON thought unlikely to hit home today. But the the production MON was successful with audiences and critics alike. Ayckbourn MON was reassessed, found to have a core of darkness beneath MON the comedy and was pronounced to be the 'Chekhov of the MON Suburbs'. MON MON Matthew and guests examine Ayckbourn's craft, asking: MON 'What is his critical reputation?'.

TUE TUE Stravinsky, who emigrated to America in 1940, settled in TUE California, but found life there completely alien to him. TUE Angry after Walt Disney used his Rite of Spring in TUE Fantasia, he returned to his Russian roots with the TUE Symphony in Three Movements, and its punchy rhythms and TUE harmonies. He had written his most popular works before he TUE left Russia, and while he toured the USA as TUE composer/pianist, there are very few works from his time TUE there. TUE TUE Martinu and Britten were on the East coast, the former TUE having escaped the pro-Nazi government in Czechoslovakia, TUE and the latter an exile of conscience in a time of war. TUE Walton was never forced into exile by anyone, but perhaps TUE growing up in Oldham, an opportunity to move to an TUE exclusive island in the Mediterranean was just too good a TUE chance to pass up.

WED WED 21:15 Night Waves b00jmvgc (Listen) WED Handel Week - Handel's Borrowing WED WED For Radio 3's Handel week, the programme revisits the WED great debates of the 18th century about artistic WED originality, asking if the 21st-century arts, riven by WED arguments about intellectual property in an age of new WED technology, could learn something from Handel and his WED artistic peers. WED WED Handel's compositions were littered with borrowings and WED copying from not only his own work, but other musicians as WED well. Even by the standards of his day he was liberal with WED the sources of his inspiration. But for much of 18th WED century society this didn't matter - there were no WED obsessions with artistic originality, unlike now. And this WED very different attitude to originality could be found WED across the cultural world of the day. WED WED Historian Margaret MacMillan - winner of the Samuel WED Johnson prize for her book Peacemakers - talks to Rana WED about her book The Uses and Abuses of History, which WED explores the way history has been hijacked by individuals WED and governments, and exaggerated, distorted or suppressed. WED WED MacMillan argues that post-war Germany's attempts to deal WED with Nazism was exemplary, unlike Turkey's treatment of WED its Armenian past, and asks whether governments should WED apologise for the sins of the past? MacMillan urges us to WED treat the past with care and respect.
