SAT SAT Directors including Nicholas Hytner and David Alden talk SAT about the challenges and joys of putting Handel on the SAT stage, and soprano Rosemary Joshua talks about the SAT importance of authenticity in singing Handel. SAT SAT Petroc also visits the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge to SAT find out what the Handel manuscripts held there can tell SAT us about the composer's working methods and his concept of SAT the integrity of the musical work. SAT SAT Handel Now SAT SAT This week on Music Matters, continuing BBC Radio 3's SAT Handel celebrations, Petroc Trelawny is joined by experts SAT and performers to explore the changing view of the great SAT composer's music since the tercentenary of his birth in SAT 1985. SAT SAT Until then Handel's operas had been mainly the preserve SAT of academics, but Nicholas Hytner's Olivier Award SAT winning production of Xerxes for English National Opera in SAT 1985 (pictured) introduced the stage works to a wider SAT public. Now it's rare for a season to pass without a SAT major UK opera house putting on a new Handelian production. SAT SAT Opera and Borrowings SAT SAT To understand the change in attitude to Handel as a SAT theatrical composer, Petroc talks to Hytner and also to SAT David Alden who has directed many of the operas in the UK SAT and abroad. SAT SAT He also visits the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, home SAT to many original Handel manuscripts, to talk with SAT Christopher Hogwood, a major figure in the revival of SAT Handel's music (currently conducting Acis and Galatea at SAT the Royal Opera House). They consider Handel's practice SAT of borrowing - recycling his own and other's material SAT for his own works - and the need to continue reviewing SAT and re-recording works as understanding of his music SAT changes. SAT SAT Handel Performance SAT SAT Vocal practice has also changed in the last quarter of a SAT century. We hear about the joys and challenges of singing SAT Handel from specialists in the field - soprano Rosemary SAT Joshua, tenor Mark Padmore and countertenor David Daniels. SAT SAT To discuss all the issues and look forward to the next 25 SAT years, Petroc is joined in the studio by Handel expert SAT Berta Joncus and the Sunday Times' chief classical music SAT critic Hugh Canning.

MON MON The first two works in the programme were both started in MON Europe but finished in America as their composers escaped MON the approaching war in Europe. Stravinsky's Symphony in C MON was written at time of personal trauma as he mourned the MON loss of both his wife and daughter to tuberculosis and MON wrestled with the disease himself. It is a work firmly in MON Stravinsky's neo-classical style, harking back to MON composers of an earlier age. MON MON Britten also made the journey across the Atlantic: in MON 1939, he departed Britain having written two of his MON settings of Rimbaud's Les illuminations, going on to MON finish the other movements in the United States during the MON early months of the Second World War. MON MON The concert concludes with Bizet's exuberant Symphony in MON C, written when the composer was just 17 years old - and MON like similar precocious works by Mozart and Mendelssohn, MON it shows considerable maturity of form and invention. MON MON Sally Matthews (soprano) Scottish Chamber Orchestra MON Andrew Litton (conductor) MON MON Stravinsky: Symphony in C Britten: Les illuminations MON Bizet: Symphony in C MON MON Followed by a focus on youth orchestras from Britain and MON abroad: MON MON Holst: The Perfect Fool MON National Youth Orchestra of Scotland MON Bramwell Tovey (conductor).

MON MON It involves taking over an abandoned section of land to MON cultivate crops or plants and is a form of non-violent MON direct action practised by environmentalists. MON MON Reynolds gardens wherever he finds himself, whether it is MON creating a garden in a number of neglected beds outside MON the block of flats where he lives or planting lavender on MON a traffic island. He believes any public space that has MON been undecorated by civic authorities and public alike can MON be turned into something more attractive and humanising MON for all. MON MON He claims he springs from a long line of radicals - he MON cites 17th-century Digger Gerrard Winstanley as a forebear MON - and he originally acted entirely without permission MON (although that has now changed in some cases), working on MON many sites that belonged to someone else - typically the MON public authorities.

TUE TUE Renowned for maintaining a very German sound - considered TUE ideal for this repertoire - the orchestra perform Mozart's TUE Symphony in C, K425, known as the Linz symphony because it TUE was written in the Austrian city. When he stopped there TUE with his wife in 1783, the local count, on hearing of TUE Mozart's arrival, announced a celebratory concert. The TUE composer sat down and quickly penned the symphony at TUE break-neck speed over four days and nights. TUE TUE The gestation of Bruckner's 'Romantic' Fourth Symphony was TUE somewhat longer. Originally written in 1874, it went TUE through several revisions and re-workings as the composer TUE struggled to find a version he was happy with. Labelled TUE the Romantic by Bruckner himself, the title refers to a TUE medieval romantic programme for the work - with daybreak TUE in the medieval city, hunting themes and a peasant TUE festival.

THU THU The Advanced Level General Certificate was introduced in THU 1951 and soon became accepted as the educational gold THU standard, considered to be the top-drawer qualification THU comparable with the French Baccalaureate and the German THU Abitur. But in recent times that gold standard is seen by THU some as being tarnished, with more pupils than ever THU achieving the top grade. THU THU So have A level students become cleverer or are the exams THU getting easier? Does the qualification still provide a THU proper currency between schools and universities? And, THU more fundamentally, what is an exam at age 18 meant to THU test and if A levels aren't the answer any more, then what THU is? A diploma of some sort - or even the French THU baccalaureate? THU THU Tackling these issues are, among others, former education THU secretary Estelle Morris, vice-chancellor of South Bank THU University Deian Hopkins, Prof Alan Smithers of Buckingham THU University, Prof Mary Beard of Cambridge University as THU well as A level students and teachers.
