SAT       2009, Proms Chamber Concerts, PCM 03 - The Belcea Quartet
SAT       From Cadogan Hall, London.
SAT       
SAT       Suzy Klein presents a chamber Prom in which former Radio 3
SAT       New Generation Artists the Belcea Quartet pay homage to
SAT       Haydn and Britten. The former's Quartet comes from a
SAT       period in the 1780s when he declared that he was writing
SAT       'in a new and special way', and the second-movement set of
SAT       variations is characteristically unexpected and quirky in
SAT       its shifting contrasts of mood.
SAT       
SAT       Britten's atmospheric and evocative Second Quartet was
SAT       composed in 1945 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the
SAT       death of Henry Purcell, and the finale is an extended set
SAT       of variations which offers an extraordinary glimpse of
SAT       Purcell's sound world refracted through the imagination of
SAT       a composer who loved his music.

SUN       Leipzig, an institution famous for its associations with
SUN       Bach. However, the five members of Amarcord became
SUN       fascinated in early music from the centuries before Bach,
SUN       and in the early 1990s they formed a vocal group which
SUN       combined the great musical traditions of their schooling
SUN       with some of early music performance methods that were
SUN       starting to cross into Eastern Europe from the West. The
SUN       result is a very distinctive sound that has won them a lot
SUN       of critical praise, especially on the continent.

SUN       ensembles from afar afield as the USA, Belgium, France,
SUN       Austria and Switzerland, as well as the UK.

SUN       Pianola Music, two pianos are joined by other instruments
SUN       for a piece which references everything from Beethoven
SUN       sonatas to marching band music, and was inspired by a

SUN       revolutionised ballet, moving away from the fairytale
SUN       tradition and bringing modern dance into the 20th century.
SUN       Notorious for innovative choreography, design,

SUN       affairs, the company sparked a ballet boom.

SUN       To Strive, to Seek, to Find and Not to Yield
SUN       
SUN       In a programme celebrating the work of Tennyson, Beth
SUN       Goddard and Michael Pennington read poetry from Tennyson
SUN       himself and others on the theme of destiny, alongside with
SUN       music inspired by, and reflecting the texts. The poet is
SUN       represented by excerpts from favourites such as The Lady
SUN       of Shalott and Ulysses.
SUN       
SUN       With works by Thomas Hardy, Robert Frost, Andrew Marvell,
SUN       Dylan Thomas and TS Eliot, as well as music from Vaughan
SUN       Williams, Britten, Hubert Parry, Richard Strauss and
SUN       Arthus Bliss among others.
SUN       
SUN       Michael Pennington
SUN       
SUN       Beth Goddard
SUN       
SUN       Producer Note
SUN       
SUN       While reacquainting myself with the poetry of Tennyson for
SUN       this bi-centenary edition of Words and Music, I was struck
SUN       by the choice many of his characters have to make between
SUN       action and inaction, decision and indecision. Mariana
SUN       helplessly waits for her absent lover in her remote moated
SUN       grange, wishing she were dead, whereas the Lady of
SUN       Shalott, who starts off in a similarly isolated and
SUN       helpless situation makes the dangerous decision to break
SUN       out of her lonely existence into the real world beyond the
SUN       enchanted mirror. And similarly the Lotos Eaters drift
SUN       into a life of drowsy ease, whereas the aged Ulysses
SUN       decides to press onwards, to strive, to seek, to find, and
SUN       not to yield.
SUN       
SUN       Using these characters from Tennyson as the mainstay of
SUN       the sequence I added other poems that explore the ideas of
SUN       decision, change, seizing the day, and fighting the
SUN       inevitable.
SUN       
SUN       So we open with the languishing Mariana, followed by the
SUN       water nymph Rusalka, who longs for her unattainable lover
SUN       in a similar vein, although she is more like the Lady of
SUN       Shalott in that she takes the ultimate risk to win his
SUN       love. Two poems on change and choice follow, and Hardy's
SUN       'Young Man's Exhortation' to action is followed by
SUN       Billy Bragg's rendition of Blake's anthem to
SUN       determined striving, 'Jerusalem'. Andrew Marvell urges
SUN       his Coy Mistress to seize the day, while the Lady of
SUN       Shalott embodies the idea that it is better to have loved
SUN       and lost, than never to have loved at all.
SUN       
SUN       (But Lancelot's final comment on his tragic lady ,
SUN       'she had a lovely face', is a bit offhand to say the
SUN       least - great events can often go unappreciated, as in
SUN       Auden's 'Musee des Beaux Arts')
SUN       
SUN       The still centre of the programme is Bach's achingly
SUN       beautiful 'Schlummert Ein', a deep desire for eternal
SUN       sleep, followed by Shakespeare's mighty and disturbingly
SUN       logical dissection of the dilemma between action and
SUN       inaction.
SUN       
SUN       From this point the sea starts rather insistently to
SUN       present itself as a metaphor for life and so three of
SUN       Britten's Sea Interludes from 'Peter Grimes' echo
SUN       the atmosphere of poems on the decision to push ever
SUN       onwards.
SUN       
SUN       So finally on to T S Eliot's idea that all exploration
SUN       and effort will eventually bring us somehow back to where
SUN       we started, although transformed, and to close, the poem
SUN       that Tennyson wanted to be placed at the end of all
SUN       editions of his poetry, 'Crossing the Bar', with its
SUN       acceptance of the end of striving.

MON       Julian Joseph presents a session from drummer and pianist
MON       Gary Husband's new project Drive, featuring Julian Siegel
MON       on tenor saxophone, Richard Turner on trumpet and Michael
MON       Jansich on bass. In a recording made in London, they
MON       perform repertoire from their much-anticipated album
MON       Hotwired.
MON       
MON       Gary Husband's expression is divided equally in his
MON       capacity as a drummer and a keyboardist of international
MON       repute. His early classical roots, his work in jazz and
MON       jazz/fusion, pop, rock and funk, make him a very distinct
MON       musical personality. Over the years he has played for a
MON       diverse range of musicians including Level 42, Allan
MON       Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, Mike Stern and Billy Cobham.

MON       This episode is available until midday on Friday, 21st
MON       August as part of the Series Catch-up Trial.
MON       
MON       Donald Macleod is joined by Professor Michael Kater to
MON       explore the life and music of Carl Orff.
MON       
MON       They focus on Orff's early years, as he struggled to
MON       establish himself as a composer in a reactionary Munich.
MON       His tendencies seemed to be left-leaning, but he generally
MON       steered clear of controversy.

MON       Orchestra
MON       From Cadogan Hall, London. Presented by Louise Fryer.
MON       
MON       The Scottish Ensemble is directed by Jonathan Morton in a
MON       rich variety of string music spanning three centuries.
MON       
MON       At the programme's heart is a new piece by John Woolrich,
MON       framed by classic works by Mozart and Purcell.
MON       Stravinsky's mercurial Concerto of 1946 casts an ironic
MON       eye back to the musical past as it extracts every ounce of
MON       colour and contrast from the strings. With its disjointed
MON       motor rhythms, the music twists and turns, alternately
MON       maladroit and elegant, high-spirited and nostalgic.

MON       Jez Nelson presents another chance to hear a gig performed
MON       at the Vortex Jazz Club in London by guitarist Marc
MON       Ducret's trio, featuring previously unbroadcast tracks.
MON       
MON       Ducret's virtuosic style first came to prominence when he
MON       was a member of New York saxophonist Tim Berne's groups
MON       Big Satan and Science Friction. This gig features Ducret's
MON       own high-intensity trio with Bruno Chevillon on bass and
MON       Eric Echampard on drums. The three have played together
MON       for more than ten years and Ducret calls the group 'my
MON       laboratory'.
MON       
MON       Marc Ducret was born in Paris in 1957. Self-taught, he
MON       began playing with dance and folk bands in the mid-1970s,
MON       and his career took off after he won the Django Reinhardt
MON       Prize in 1987. Ducret is now in high demand on both sides
MON       of the Atlantic; his collaborators have included Michel

TUE       2009, Prom 35: Patience, Part 1
TUE       From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Martin
TUE       Handley.
TUE       
TUE       Charles Mackerras is an acknowledged expert in the music
TUE       of Gilbert and Sullivan and he returns to the Proms to
TUE       conduct a performance of the exuberant operetta Patience.
TUE       
TUE       Patience opened the famous Savoy Theatre in London in 1881
TUE       - the first theatre in the world to be lit by incandescent
TUE       electric light - and it satirises the fad of the 1870s and
TUE       1880s known as the 'aesthetic craze', when poets, painters
TUE       and composers were prolific but, some argued, empty and
TUE       self-indulgent. It centres on Patience, the simple village
TUE       milkmaid, who cares nothing for poetry.

TUE       Vril
TUE       Matthew Sweet finds out about Vril, the infinitely
TUE       powerful energy source of the species of superhumans which
TUE       featured in Victorian author and politician Edward Bulwer
TUE       Lytton's pioneering science fiction novel The Coming Race.
TUE       Although it was completely fictional, many people were
TUE       desperate to believe it really existed and had the power
TUE       to transform their lives.
TUE       
TUE       At Knebworth House - Lytton's vast, grandiloquent Gothic
TUE       mansion, where Matthew meets Lytton's
TUE       great-great-great-grandson - he hears how the book was
TUE       meant to be a warning about technology, soulless
TUE       materialism and utopian dreams. At the Royal Albert Hall,
TUE       Matthew discovers how a doctor, Herbert Tibbits, along
TUE       with a handful of aristocrats, tried to promote the notion
TUE       of electrical cures and the possibility of a 'coming race'.
TUE       
TUE       Along the way, Matthew and his contributors consider why
TUE       so many English people have been so desperate to see the
TUE       fantasy of regeneration transformed into fact.

WED       
WED       Harry Christophers and The Sixteen, one of the leading
WED       British period ensembles, offer a selection of Handel's
WED       greatest choral successes.
WED       
WED       Featuring The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, one of his
WED       most beloved works, from his oratorio Solomon, as well as
WED       excerpts from his satirical semi-opera Semele.
WED       
WED       And, recreating a historic moment, the Royal Albert Hall
WED       transforms into Westminster Abbey as the musicians perform
WED       the anthems that Handel wrote for George II's coronation
WED       in 1727.

WED       2009, Proms Plus, Proms Literary Festival - Samuel Johnson
WED       In a programme recorded in front of a Proms audience, Ian
WED       McMillan is joined by Lynda Mugglestone of Pembroke
WED       College, Oxford, and journalist Matthew Parris to explore
WED       the myth and reality of Dr Samuel Johnson, and his
WED       continuing hold on the English language.
WED       
WED       Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language, published in
WED       1755, held centre stage in defining and describing the
WED       English language for at least 150 years until the
WED       publication of the Oxford English Dictionary. Personally
WED       unimposing - he was blind in one eye, deaf in one ear, and
WED       suffered from an assortment of physical tics which may
WED       have been Tourettes - Johnson rose from a modest
WED       background as the son of a bookseller in Uttoxeter to
WED       become one of the most quoted men of English letters.
WED       
WED       His idiosyncratic dictionary is laden with his own
WED       personality, and he refers to words like lunch as 'as much
WED       food as one's hands can hold' and lexicographer as 'a
WED       writer of dictionaries; a harmless drudge that busies
WED       himself in tracing the original and detailing the
WED       signification of words'.

WED       2009, Prom 37 - Philip Glass
WED       From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Verity
WED       Sharp.
WED       
WED       In the first Prom devoted exclusively to the music of
WED       American minimalist composer Philip Glass, the BBC
WED       Scottish Symphony Orchestra and BBC Symphony Chorus are
WED       joined by violinist Gidon Kremer and conductor Dennis
WED       Russell Davies, both long-term advocates of Glass' music.
WED       
WED       Harmonic, pulsing and with constant repetition of small
WED       figures or phrases, minimalism blossomed from a small
WED       underground movement on the west coast of the United
WED       States in the 1960s, becoming one of the most popular
WED       forms of late 20th century music. Philip Glass, one of its
WED       early pioneers, is one of the most prolific, influential
WED       and instantly identifiable composers of our age.
WED       
WED       This concert showcases two of his most important works for
WED       full orchestra: his first major orchestral score - the
WED       Violin Concerto of 1987 - and the Toltec Symphony of 2004,
WED       which takes its title from the ancient pre-Columbian
WED       culture that reigned in Mesoamerica long before the coming
WED       of the Europeans.

THU       Ilan Volkov perform works spanning almost a century.
THU       
THU       Begun as a homage to the Viennese waltz but twisted by his

THU       whirling to disaster, Ravel's La valse was actually
THU       rejected by Diaghilev - who commissioned it - and only

THU       The Origins of the Origin
THU       Science historian Andy Cunningham discusses the
THU       connections between French and English evolutionary
THU       thought. Were European researchers thinking along the same
THU       lines as Darwin, or were they following separate paths of
THU       enquiry? What impact did their post-revolutionary, secular
THU       environment have on their theorising?
THU       
THU       Did anyone in France see the relevance of Darwin's work
THU       when it was published? And what impact subsequently did
THU       Darwin's On The Origin of Species have on continental
THU       evolutionary thought?

FRI       From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Sarah
FRI       Walker.
FRI       
FRI       The BBC Symphony Orchestra performs the central act of
FRI       Harrison Birtwistle's 'lyric tragedy' The Mask of Orpheus,
FRI       in which the central character journeys to the Underworld
FRI       through a series of 17 arches. The wind, brass and
FRI       percussion of the orchestra are joined by the BBC Singers
FRI       and an impressive cast of soloists, led by conductors
FRI       Martyn Brabbins and Ryan Wigglesworth.
FRI       
FRI       This work was a high point in Birtwistle's longstanding
FRI       and continuing obsession with the Orpheus myth. It took
FRI       him a decade to compose, working with the librettist Peter
FRI       Zinovieff and sound engineer Barry Anderson, who realised
FRI       the electronic interludes.

FRI       Darwin's Conundrum
FRI       An investigation into what Charles Darwin really thought
FRI       about faith and religion. Although he has become an icon
FRI       for militant secularists, and his theory of evolution is
FRI       often used to challenge faith and belief, Darwin had a
