SAT Ivan Hewett explores the musical enigma of the late SAT conductor Carlos Kleiber. Despite huge demand and SAT adulatory critical praise for his work, he gave very few SAT perfomances and never granted an interview, increasing SAT speculation about his art and personality. Ivan talks to SAT some of the few who knew Kleiber well and attempts to SAT explain his mercurial and electrifying genius. SAT SAT While most great conductors have strongly-defined SAT profiles, views and attitudes, Kleiber, the son of an SAT equally feted conductor was and remains an enigma, with SAT rumours about him circulating far more freely than facts. SAT Primarily a recluse, he could only be persuaded into the SAT public arena, at least since the late 1980s, by the SAT combination of a momentous event, long rehearsal times and SAT a huge fee. These performances, though, were nothing less SAT than life-changing: concerts with the impact of religious SAT events. Kleiber was also one of the few maestros who, SAT although very demanding at rehearsal, was adored by the SAT musicians who played for him - and by other conductors. SAT SAT But why did he give so few performances? Why his obvious SAT insecurities? Did he really only make records 'when the SAT freezer ran out of food'? And what about Kleiber the man - SAT his life, his friends, his loves, his obsessions? SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b00hgbwr (Listen) SAT Machaut SAT Catherine Bott explores one of the deadliest pandemics in SAT human history - the Black Death in the 14th century - via SAT the music of the composers who lived through the time.

SAT SAT 18:00 Opera on 3 b00mw635 (Listen) SAT Gershwin's Let 'Em Eat Cake SAT SAT In a performance from the Grand Theatre in Leeds, Wyn SAT Davies conducts the British premiere of George and Ira SAT Gershwin's 1933 Broadway hit musical Let 'em Eat Cake - SAT the sequel to his more popular Of Thee I Sing. SAT SAT Like its follow-up, Let 'em Eat Cake was based on a book SAT by George S Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind, and had the same SAT producer, writers and stars in its original Broadway SAT incarnation. Its tone is much darker, though, and the SAT issues are more complex - including ironic references to SAT Fascism. However, Gershwin himself believed the piece SAT contained some of his best music, and thought it to be his SAT greatest achievment to date - although it never received SAT the plaudits he thought it deserved. SAT SAT It centres on US President John P Wintergreen, who after SAT serving four years seeks re-election, only to find voters SAT do not fall for his slogans and his 1930s spin. He loses SAT the election by a landslide, but under the new regime, the SAT political and economic situation spirals completely out of SAT control. Soon, Wintergreen leads a blue-shirted revolution SAT to victory, and the US is under the control of a new, SAT albeit tried and tested, dictator.

Born in the SUN 17th century into a noble family in Tuscany, Stradella was SUN a much-respected composer in his day and capitalised on SUN his family connections with noble patrons.

She then became a journalist in SUN Beirut, leaving in 1975 at the outbreak of the Lebanese SUN Civil War. She now lives in London with her family. SUN SUN She is the author of several novels that explore and SUN challenge the traditional roles of women in Muslim SUN societies. Many of her books, such as The Story of Zahra, SUN and Women of Sand and Myrrh deal frankly with sexual SUN issues, which have led to them being banned in more SUN conservative Muslim countries. Her latest work is The SUN Locust and the Bird, which is the story of her own SUN mother's life - heavily circumscribed by a patriarchal SUN society. SUN SUN Hanan al-Shaykh's musical choices range from Western SUN classical music - a movement of Bach's Keyboard Concerto SUN No 1 in D minor, BWV1052, played by Murray Perahia and the SUN Academy of St Martin in the Fields, Schubert's enigmatic SUN song Der Zwerg (The Dwarf) and Albinoni's haunting Adagio SUN in G minor - to American jazz (Jimmy Lunceford's Rhythm is SUN our Business, and Billie Holiday singing Strange Fruit).

SUN SUN 21:30 Sunday Feature b00n4fpk (Listen) SUN Ideas - The British Version (Series 2), Heartland Theory SUN Historian Tristram Hunt presents a series following the SUN surprising journeys of ideas that first developed in SUN Britain and then spread around the world. SUN SUN He traces the story of Sir Halford Mackinder, a forgotten SUN British geographer, and his geopolitical 'Heartland SUN Theory'. Mackinder argued that the geography of Eurasia SUN meant that Russia and its border countries constituted a SUN vast fortress, land-locked and impregnable - and that if SUN this 'heartland' ever fell under the control of a single SUN great power, it would give it the potential to dominate SUN the world. SUN SUN HIs idea, first aired in 1904, was largely ignored in SUN Britain, but in the years after the First World War, it SUN was taken up - and twisted into a disturbing new shape - SUN by a German geopolitician called Karl Haushofer. Haushofer SUN was Rudolf Hess's intellectual mentor, and tutored him and SUN Hitler while they were in prison in Munich in the 1920s. SUN Haushofer drew on Mackinder to argue that Germany should SUN form a grand alliance with Russia and Japan, in order to SUN dominate the Heartland. SUN SUN So when news of the Nazi-Soviet Pact surprised the world SUN in August 1939, American interest in Mackinder's theory SUN suddenly sparked into life, and spread like wildfire. In SUN the early 1940s, books, articles and even a Frank Capra SUN propaganda movie - which Tristram watches with Mackinder's SUN biographer - spelt out the Heartland idea and Haushofer's SUN perversion of it, dubbing it the 'Nazi plan for world SUN domination'. SUN SUN Finally, as it became clear that Germany would lose the SUN war, the elderly Mackinder himself was reached in his West SUN Country bolthole by the New York-based Foreign Affairs SUN magazine. They invited him to give his own take on how his SUN theory was relevant to the coming post-war world. Tristram SUN goes to meet the current Managing Editor of the magazine, SUN to see the letters between his predecessor and Mackinder, SUN and how the resulting article helped to set the stage for SUN the world after the war. SUN SUN Leading American foreign policy thinkers, steeped by now SUN in Mackinder's newly-prominent analysis, began to argue SUN that the emerging Soviet superpower needed to be SUN contained. Tristram talks to US foreign policy analysts, SUN including a former American Deputy National Security SUN Advisor, who argue that Mackinder's ideas underpinned SUN America's approach to the emerging Cold War. SUN SUN But is Mackinder relevant today, 20 years after the fall SUN of the Soviet Union? Tristram talks to scholars who argue SUN that the Heartland Theory is now being rediscovered in the SUN Heartland itself - in Russia and Central Asia. SUN SUN With contributions from Geoffrey Sloan, Brian Blouet, SUN Colin Gray, Paul Coones, Nick Megoran, JD Crouch, Angela SUN Stent, Holger Herwig, Chris Seiple, Gideon Rose, Charles SUN Kupchan and Gerry Kearns. SUN SUN 22:15 Words and Music b00hwwrv (Listen) SUN An American Landscape SUN SUN Last broadcast on Sun, 1 Mar 2009, 22:15 on BBC Radio 3 SUN SUN On a cold, gusting morning of January 1961 the poet Robert SUN Frost set out to read a specially composed poem at the SUN inauguration of John F Kennedy, the man on whom all SUN America’s hopes were pinned. But the sun’s glare and the SUN newness of the poem robbed Frost of his ability, his SUN confidence, to read. He fell back on a poem he’d written SUN in 1942. The Gift Outright explores in its few lines one SUN of the deepest and darkest matters facing Americans: the SUN nature of their brief relationship with the land, a land SUN once occupied by others. The poem, read by Jeff Perry is SUN followed by Virgil Thomson’s film score The Plow That SUN Broke the Plains, which was sponsored by the United States SUN Resettlement Administration. SUN SUN As the orchestrator of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, Ferde SUN Grofé couldn’t have been closer to the heart of American SUN music. In 1916, Grofé drove across the Arizona desert with SUN a group of friends to watch the sun rise over the Grand SUN Canyon. He was later inspired by the experience to compose SUN his famous Grand Canyon Suite. SUN SUN Some years before, in the late 1860’s John Wesley Powell, SUN a soldier turned naturalist embarked on the first SUN geological survey of the Grand Canyon. His journal, which SUN starts as a dry analysis of rock samples and description SUN of geological formations finally becomes a painting and a SUN hymn of praise to this unique American landscape. I found SUN writer and composer speaking in one language in their SUN breathless excitement in the presence of the Grand Canyon. SUN I think you’ll agree that Grofé’s music and Powell’s SUN journal exactly describe each other. SUN SUN Etta Baker's Appalachian guitar music is followed by SUN Copland’s take on the same region: part of his ballet SUN score Appalachian Spring. The White Mountains, part of the SUN Appalachian mountains, the most rugged in New England, SUN were visited in the 1830s by the novelist Nathaniel SUN Hawthorne who wrote an awe-inspiring account of his trip. SUN His connection with the area was forever sealed by his SUN death there on a subsequent visit many years later. SUN Copland’s classic orchestration of the Shaker hymn Simple SUN Gifts ends this section and is itself topped off by the SUN Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s own version of the original hymn. SUN SUN The composer Philip Glass has composed America with a SUN photographer’s eye, his unique, self-styled voice, mapping SUN America and American life and shipping it across the world SUN as the soundtrack of numerous films. His early score to SUN The Photographer, unswerving in its forward drive is the SUN adjunct to Robert Lowell’s haunting poem, The Mouth of the SUN Hudson, a description of a man standing on an outcrop SUN above a railroad siding and watching the trains switching SUN beneath him. It’s a neutral description until the word SUN ‘unforgivable’ at the end. SUN SUN The 20th century American composer Roy Harris was born in SUN 1898 to poor parents, in a log cabin in Oklahoma, on SUN Abraham Lincoln's birthday. He had the perfect opportunity SUN to survey the American landscape as he worked for many SUN years as a trucker, criss-crossing the continent. You can SUN hear the lie of the land in his masterpiece Symphony No.3. SUN I mixed the symphony with John Ashbery’s poem Pyrography, SUN an elliptical commentary of America, written to accompany SUN a travelling exhibition of American landscape paintings. SUN SUN We end with Charles Ives, possibly the composer who SUN captured the spirit of America better than any other. SUN Whilst Harris was a trucker, Ives’s main job was in SUN insurance. That was no bar to him writing his totally SUN original and uncompromising musical reflection of the SUN America he saw and heard. His Three Places in New England SUN here prepares the way for Henry James’s reflection on the SUN New England landscape, which I have mixed with Ives’s SUN contemplative masterpiece The Unanswered Question. SUN Appropriately, that piece ends the programme.

TUE TUE Professor Nicholas Cronk, director of the Voltaire TUE Foundation at the University of Oxford, explores how TUE Voltaire's encounter with English culture both influenced TUE the writer personally and had far-reaching consequences TUE for Enlightenment thinking generally. TUE TUE He explains why Voltaire came to England in the first TUE place and considers why the book of essays he wrote - TUE Letters Concerning the English Nation - has been described TUE as 'the first bomb thrown at the ancient regime' - a TUE praise of the country and a covert criticism TUE pre-revolutionary France. TUE TUE With his vivid and often highly contemporary observations TUE on religion, business, politics, science, philosophy and TUE literature, Voltaire's book on England is as striking TUE today as it was to both French and English readers when it TUE was first published in 1733.
