SAT       Tchaikovsky and Tom talks to composer George Benjamin, who
SAT       celebrates his fiftieth birthday in 2010. Pianist Graham
SAT       Johnson comes into the studio to talk about what makes
SAT       Faure songs unique.

SAT       George Benjamin at 50
SAT       
SAT       Tom Service talks to the composer and conductor George
SAT       Benjamin, who turns 50 this month. Having started learning
SAT       piano and composing as a young boy, Benjamin went on to
SAT       study under Oliver Messiaen in Paris at the age of 16. His
SAT       intense, poetic music is held in high regard in the French
SAT       capital, but he has gained a worldwide reputation as one
SAT       of the foremost figures in contemporary music.
SAT       
SAT       At his home in London, Benjamin talks about his roles as
SAT       both a musical internationalist and a British composer,
SAT       about his place in wider culture, and Tom attempts to
SAT       tease out some details about the new opera he’s working on.
SAT       
SAT       Fauré’s Songs
SAT       
SAT       Gabriel Fauré, best known for his Requiem, was also a
SAT       prolific writer of chamber music and songs, with an output
SAT       spanning six decades of his life, much of his most
SAT       profound music written in old age. Graham Johnson, one of
SAT       the world’s most famous song accompanists, has been a
SAT       long-time advocate of Fauré, and in a new book has set out
SAT       to share his passion for the composer’s unique musical
SAT       language, and to set it in historical context.
SAT       
SAT       At the piano, Graham Johnson tells Tom why he is so
SAT       intoxicated by Fauré’s writing for the voice, and how a
SAT       complicated private life and the parallel lives of his
SAT       many poets influenced his music.
SAT       
SAT       Tchaikovsky
SAT       
SAT       Roland John Wiley of Michigan University believes there
SAT       are a few problems in the popular perception of Pyotr
SAT       Ilyich Tchaikovsky and his music: that he is incorrectly
SAT       viewed as a melodic sentimentalist – or sentimental
SAT       melodist – and that debates over his sexuality, his
SAT       disastrous marriage and his mysterious death have clouded
SAT       people’s judgement of his work.
SAT       
SAT       In a new biography, Wiley offers a re-assessment of
SAT       Tchaikovsky’s life and music. Tom talks to the author, and
SAT       is joined to review the book by Marina Frolova-Walker of
SAT       Cambridge University, and writer and broadcaster Geoffrey
SAT       Norris.
SAT       
SAT       Prokofiev’s War and Peace
SAT       
SAT       Rita McAllister of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and
SAT       Drama has just edited the original, un-Sovietised version
SAT       of Prokofiev’s opera War and Peace. Ahead of the world
SAT       premiere, Tom talks to Rita and asks whether this finally
SAT       is the definitive version.

SAT       Dancing in Tetuan
SAT       
SAT       Lucie Skeaping introduces highlights of a concert by the
SAT       ensemble Joglaresa, given at St George's Church in
SAT       Kemptown as part of the 2009 Brighton Early Music Festival.
SAT       
SAT       Having spent years living and studying in Morocco,
SAT       Joglaresa's founder Belinda Sykes speaks about where her
SAT       inspiration for this music comes from; there are
SAT       performances of Judeo-Arabic dance songs, cantigas and
SAT       laude sprituali, Berber rhythms and Moorish romanzas from
SAT       Iberia's cultural diaspora.
SAT       
SAT       Joglaresa has a sound that is at once both traditional and
SAT       contemporary - combining elements of Spanish, Italian,
SAT       North African and Middle Eastern music. With an array of
SAT       exotic instruments, including oud, darabuka, bendir, harp
SAT       and fidel, along with their searing vocals, the eight
SAT       performers on the stage meld together a sound which can be
SAT       both extrovert and intimate.
SAT       
SAT       All music recorded live at the 2009 Brighton Early Music
SAT       Festival.

SAT       Live from the Met, Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier
SAT       
SAT       From the Metropolitan Opera, New York, Edo de Waart
SAT       conducts Renee Fleming, Susan Graham and Christine Schafer
SAT       in Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier.
SAT       
SAT       The story centres on the Marschallin, who enjoys time with
SAT       her young lover Octavian, but knows that she is getting
SAT       older and that one day he will lose interest in her. Sure
SAT       enough, when he is chosen to deliver the engagement silver
SAT       rose from the Baron Ochs to Sophie, they fall instantly in
SAT       love with each other. The Marschallin understands the
SAT       situation and graciously lets Octavian go to his new love.
SAT       Strauss's masterpiece contains comedy, pathos and some
SAT       sumptuous female vocal writing.
SAT       
SAT       Synopsis - Act 1
SAT       
SAT       Vienna, the early years of the reign of the Empress Maria
SAT       Theresa. The Marschallin, Princess von Werdenberg, has
SAT       spent the night with her young lover, Octavian, Count
SAT       Rofrano.
SAT       
SAT       He hides when a page brings breakfast, then again when
SAT       loud voices are heard in the antechamber. The unexpected
SAT       visitor is the Marschallin’s country cousin, Baron Ochs
SAT       auf Lerchenau.
SAT       
SAT       Bursting into the room, he brags about his amorous
SAT       conquests and his upcoming marriage to Sophie von Faninal,
SAT       the young daughter of a wealthy bourgeois.
SAT       
SAT       When he asks the Marschallin for advice as to which
SAT       cavalier could present Sophie with the traditional silver
SAT       engagement rose, she suggests Octavian—who suddenly, to
SAT       avoid discovery, emerges from his hiding place disguised
SAT       as a chambermaid.
SAT       
SAT       The baron instantly starts to make advances towards
SAT       “Mariandel,” who quickly makes her escape as the room
SAT       fills with the daily crowd of petitioners and salespeople.
SAT       Among them is an Italian singer, whose aria (“Di rigori
SAT       armato il seno”) is cut short by the baron’s wrangling
SAT       
SAT       The baron hires a pair of Italian intriguers, Annina and
SAT       Valzacchi, to locate the shy servant girl.
SAT       
SAT       When the room is cleared, the Marschallin, appalled by the
SAT       thought of the rude Ochs marrying the innocent young girl,
SAT       muses on her own waning youth (“Da geht er hin”).
SAT       
SAT       The returning Octavian is surprised to find her in a
SAT       distant and melancholy mood. He passionately declares his
SAT       love but she can only think about the passing of time and
SAT       tells him that one day he will leave her for a younger
SAT       woman (“Die Zeit, die ist ein sonderbar Ding”).
SAT       
SAT       Hurt, he rushes off. The Marschallin tries to call him
SAT       back, but it is too late. She summons her page and sends
SAT       Octavian the silver rose.
SAT       
SAT       Act 2
SAT       
SAT       On the morning of her engagement, Sophie excitedly awaits
SAT       the arrival of the cavalier of the rose. Octavian enters
SAT       and presents her with the silver rose on behalf of the
SAT       baron.
SAT       
SAT       Sophie accepts rapturously, and the two young people feel
SAT       an instant attraction to each other (Duet: “Wo war ich
SAT       schon einmal”).
SAT       
SAT       When Ochs, whom Sophie has never met, arrives, the girl is
SAT       shocked by his crude manners. The baron goes off to
SAT       discuss the wedding contract with Faninal, and Sophie asks
SAT       Octavian for help. They end up embracing and are surprised
SAT       by Annina and Valzacchi, who summon the baron.
SAT       
SAT       The outraged Octavian grazes the baron’s arm with his
SAT       rapier and Ochs melodramatically calls for a doctor. In
SAT       the ensuing confusion, Sophie tells her father that she
SAT       will not marry the baron, while Octavian enlists Annina
SAT       and Valzacchi to participate in an intrigue he is hatching.
SAT       
SAT       When Ochs is alone, nursing his wound with a glass of
SAT       wine, Annina, sent by Octavian, appears with a letter from
SAT       “Mariandel,” asking the baron to a rendezvous.
SAT       
SAT       Intoxicated with his own charm, Ochs is delighted at the
SAT       prospect of a tête-à-tête. When he refuses to tip Annina,
SAT       she determines to get even.
SAT       
SAT       Act 3
SAT       
SAT       At Octavian’s instigation, Annina and Valzacchi prepare
SAT       the back room of a dingy inn for Ochs’s rendezvous. Before
SAT       long, the baron and “Mariandel” arrive for a private
SAT       supper.
SAT       
SAT       As she coyly leads him on, grotesque apparitions pop out
SAT       of windows and secret panels, terrifying the baron.
SAT       Annina, disguised as a widow, runs in crying that Ochs is
SAT       the father of her many children.
SAT       
SAT       When the police appear, Ochs claims that “Mariandel” is
SAT       his fiancée. The arriving Faninal, furious at his future
SAT       son-in-law’s behavior, summons Sophie to set matters
SAT       straight, then faints and is carried off.
SAT       
SAT       At the height of the confusion, the Marschallin enters.
SAT       Octavian takes off his disguise and the Marschallin
SAT       explains to Ochs that it was all a farce.
SAT       
SAT       The baron finally admits defeat and leaves, pursued by the
SAT       innkeeper and various other people who all demand payment
SAT       of their bills. Left alone with Octavian and Sophie, the
SAT       Marschallin laments that she must lose her lover so soon,
SAT       but nevertheless accepts the truth (Trio: “Hab’ mir’s
SAT       gelobt”).
SAT       
SAT       She gives the bewildered Octavian to Sophie and quietly
SAT       leaves the room. The young lovers realize that their dream
SAT       has come true (Duet: “Ist ein Traum”).

SUN       Foxtrots
SUN       
SUN       Charles Hazlewood and the BBC Concert Orchestra explore
SUN       how the foxtrot of the dance halls of the 1920s and 40s
SUN       had a creative impact on the imagination of 20th-century
SUN       composers such as Maurice Ravel, John Adams and Peter
SUN       Maxwell Davies.
SUN       
SUN       The iconic sounds of the popular foxtrots, which reached
SUN       mass audiences through the wind-up gramophone, through the
SUN       dance halls and through radio, have become a useful
SUN       vehicle with which some composers have chosen to present
SUN       extra-musical and sometimes ironic references in their
SUN       'serious' music.
SUN       
SUN       Charles briefly analyses the substance of the foxtrot and
SUN       considers how Ravel used the dance in his opera L'enfant
SUN       et les sortileges to evoke the spirit of his times; of how
SUN       American composer John Adams uses the distinctive sounds
SUN       of the dance played on a 78 rpm record, as the basis for
SUN       short orchestral concert work The Chairman Dances; and of
SUN       how Peter Maxwell Davies's recollection of the foxtrots of
SUN       his childhood culminate in observations about political
SUN       and moral responsibility in his St Thomas Wake for
SUN       orchestra.

SUN       In Search of Gododdin
SUN       
SUN       Poet Gwyneth Lewis explores the origins and meaning of the
SUN       Gododdin, a sixth-century Welsh poem elegising the slain
SUN       British warriors who made a last stand against the Saxons
SUN       in the famous Battle of Catterick.
SUN       
SUN       Fourteen centuries ago an elite band of three hundred
SUN       warriors set out from Edinburgh and marched south to
SUN       Catterick in Yorkshire to meet a force of 10,000 Saxons in
SUN       a bloody pitched battle. At the end of a week of ferocious
SUN       combat all but three of the 300 lay dead and, with them,
SUN       the last hope of the Old North - the original Britons -
SUN       against the Saxon invaders. But the battle left an
SUN       enduring literary legacy: one of the three survivors,
SUN       Aneirin, fled back to Edinburgh and composed the Gododdin,
SUN       an epic poem to commemorate his fallen comrades.
SUN       
SUN       Gwyneth follows the war band from the Edinburgh stronghold
SUN       where they spent a year feasting and drinking mead to the
SUN       landscape of northern England where they met their fate.
SUN       As she travels she discovers new insights into
SUN       contemporary Britain from a sixth-century poem written in
SUN       Welsh about a group of warriors from Scotland who fought a
SUN       battle in Yorkshire.

SUN       
SUN       Introduction
SUN       
SUN       Don’t leave it too late to put it right… in this week’s
SUN       Words and Music I’ve sought to explore the way conscience
SUN       compels us to find ways to make amends for our wrongs and
SUN       those of others, and to look at the suffering and
SUN       frustration that can come with those attempts to clean the
SUN       slate. But I’ve also tried to celebrate the redemption
SUN       that can be found in religion, acts of recompense, and the
SUN       human spirit.
SUN       
SUN       The programme begins with Duke Ellington’s ‘Please Forgive
SUN       Me’. Recorded in 1938, its gentle regret takes on a more
SUN       urgent poignancy as the insecurity of the Second World War
SUN       potentially leaves misdeeds unresolved. We hear the
SUN       despair of Bryony, the central character in Ian McEwan’s
SUN       novel, ‘Atonement’, as she throws herself into a daily
SUN       grind of work in an attempt to atone for the deception
SUN       that changed the lives of those around her. And as Dario
SUN       Marionelli’s score implores ‘Rescue Me’, there is an offer
SUN       of redemption through the atonement of Christ in Milton’s
SUN       ‘Paradise Lost’, later echoed in the resurrection of Aslan
SUN       in C.S. Lewis’s ‘The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe’,
SUN       and in the journey of Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner. But in
SUN       a world where ills can seem so great it is, perhaps, only
SUN       through religion that a sense of atonement on a larger
SUN       scale can be imagined. The Chorale of Bach’s St Matthew
SUN       Passion, and Max Bruch’s Kol Nidrei (an adagio on Hebrew
SUN       melodies for the Jewish Day of Atonement) echo our deep
SUN       desire for things to be ‘made right’ rather than merely
SUN       understood.
SUN       
SUN       In secular music, Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings seems
SUN       to convey the yearning for atonement, and so I have used
SUN       it as a backdrop for Kit Wright’s poem ‘Hoping it Might Be
SUN       So’, in which the writer imagines a world where the most
SUN       horrible wrongs will be put right. And in the final part
SUN       of Goethe’s poem ‘Trilogy of Passion’, the beauty of music
SUN       is itself a route to atonement: “Music with angel-pinions
SUN       hovers there, To pierce man’s being to its inmost core”.
SUN       In his composition of Requiem, Benjamin Wallfisch offers
SUN       music to the memory of his great-grandparents, who died in
SUN       Auschwitz. It is played by his father and brother, with
SUN       his grandmother Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, who survived the
SUN       Holocaust through playing the cello in the camp orchestra
SUN       at Auschwitz and later, Bergen-Belsen. And it was as a
SUN       member of the French armed forces that Messiaen was
SUN       captured and imprisoned in a German POW camp, where he
SUN       wrote his Quartet for the End of Time, which took a
SUN       passage of the Book of Revelation – the culmination of
SUN       Christ’s atonement - as its starting point.
SUN       
SUN       Just as we can seek to atone for our crimes and
SUN       misdemeanours, so can the state demand it. Nick Cave’s
SUN       ‘The Mercy Seat’ is a graphic description of the journey
SUN       of a convicted murderer sentenced to death. But the
SUN       bleakness of that situation is countered by the collective
SUN       optimism of the South African National Anthem ‘Nkosi
SUN       Sikele IAfrika; sung for decades in a spirit of defiance
SUN       and hope, it prefaces Antjie Krog’s poem: ‘Country of
SUN       Grief and Grace’, which was used in the final document of
SUN       the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
SUN       
SUN       Sadly, too often, there is little we can do to atone for
SUN       life’s wrongs – but it is there in the small things, as in
SUN       David Scott’s ‘The Flower Rota’ two mothers weekly arrange
SUN       flowers for their two dead soldier sons. And as we close
SUN       the programme with Dario Marianelli’s Denouement, Simon
SUN       Russell Beale reads Felix Dennis’s ‘I am Listening Now…’,
SUN       a reminder that we must take our time to make amends
SUN       whilst we still can.

SUN       Vijay Iyer
SUN       
SUN       Kevin LeGendre talks to New York pianist Vijay Iyer, who
SUN       since 1999 has staked a claim as one of the city's key new
SUN       voices, producing highly-rated work with his quartet, his
SUN       trio and a duet with spoken word artist Mike Ladd. Vijay
SUN       gives his thoughts on playing solo as opposed to playing
SUN       in the Quartet and talks about the influence of pop music
SUN       on his own compositions, which in turn has become part of
SUN       today's jazz.

MON       
MON       He is joined by Alexander Ivashkin, cellist and professor
MON       of music at Goldsmith's College London to explore
MON       Schnittke's early career, culminating in his brilliant
MON       oratorio Nagasaki, a work that resulted in the composer's

MON       Performance on 3: Proms 2009, Prom 69: Mendelssohn, Mahler
MON       
MON       As part of Mendelssohn's bicentenary celebrations,
MON       Riccardo Chailly conducts the orchestra of which the
MON       composer himself was music director for the last 12 years
MON       of his life. Palestinian-Israeli pianist Saleem Abboud
MON       Ashkar is soloist in Mendelssohn's youthful First Concerto
MON       which he completed in just three days at the age of 22.
MON       
MON       It is followed by Mahler's Tenth Symphony, which was was
MON       left unfinished at his death but was triumphantly
MON       premiered at the 1964 Proms in a 'performing version'
MON       prepared by musicologist Deryck Cooke and Berthold
MON       Goldschmidt. Written in the shadow of failing health and a
MON       collapsing marriage to his young wife Alma, Mahler
MON       scribbled notes in the margins of the manuscript. At one
MON       point he writes 'to live for you, to die for you', and
MON       over the tender, peaceful ending, when he seems to have
MON       come to some resolution, he writes just one word 'Almschi'
MON       - his nickname for his wife.

MON       Enlightenment Voices, Spinoza, Part 1
MON       
MON       Series focusing on the work of 17th-century Dutch
MON       philosopher Baruch Spinoza.
MON       
MON       Professor Justin Champion, head of history at Royal
MON       Holloway, University of London, introduces Spinoza's work.
MON       
MON       Spinoza was an iconoclast almost incomprehensible to
MON       devout contemporaries. His challenging work on religion
MON       resulted in his excommunication from Amsterdam, which set
MON       the scene for his career as an atheist. Despite his
MON       banishment, Spinoza lived out his short life in Holland,
MON       reviled by some but revered by other intellectuals across
MON       Europe.

TUE       Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998), Episode 2
TUE       
TUE       Donald Macleod presents a celebration of the music of the
TUE       USSR's last great composer, Alfred Schnittke.
TUE       
TUE       In the 1960s and 70s, Schnittke developed a unique style
TUE       he termed 'polystylism' - the weaving of layer upon layer
TUE       of subtle allusions, creating a world where everything has
TUE       a hidden, suppressed meaning.
TUE       
TUE       This technique perfectly captured life under the cosh of
TUE       Soviet Communism, where messages were frequently disguised
TUE       in layers of codes and doublespeak. Donald is joined by
TUE       Alexander Ivashkin to present a selection of Schnittke's
TUE       first polystylistic works, culminating in an extended
TUE       excerpt from his astonishing First Symphony - a piece that
TUE       takes the symphonic form to its very limit.

TUE       Fiddlefest 2 ... with strings attached ..., Episode 1
TUE       
TUE       Sean Rafferty introduces music from Fiddlefest 2 - an
TUE       event celebrating music for the violin which takes place
TUE       bi-annually in the city of Londonderry in Northern
TUE       Ireland. The 2009 festival presents repertoire for violin
TUE       and piano as well as music for string quartet and string
TUE       octet. The venue is Christ Church, a free church which was
TUE       consecrated in 1833 and built at the expense of Bishop
TUE       Knox, who built the Church for the poor people who lived
TUE       in the area.
TUE       
TUE       Young violinist Alexandra Soumm, who was born in Russia
TUE       but now divides her time between France and Austria, is
TUE       joined by her regular recital partner Julien Quentin for a
TUE       performance of Grieg's Violin Sonata No 3 in C minor.
TUE       Grieg characterised all his violin sonatas: No 2 was 'the
TUE       nationalistic' and No 3 'the one with the wider horizons'.
TUE       
TUE       Young British quartet and winners of the first prize and

TUE       Barbara Ehrenreich
TUE       
TUE       Anne McElvoy talks to American journalist Barbara
TUE       Ehrenreich about her new book Smile and Die, which attacks
TUE       what she believes to be her country's addiction to
TUE       positive thinking and blind optimism. Taking examples from
TUE       attitudes to serious illness, the success of motivation
TUE       and happiness seminars and from politics itself,
TUE       Ehrenreich tries to show that America's credo of positive
TUE       thinking is undermining the country. And the peak of its
TUE       damage, she claims, is the credit crunch itself, built on
TUE       a rationality that brushed off all criticism of prosperity.
TUE       
TUE       And what is the key to a successful classical music
TUE       documentary film? Anne brings together some diverse
TUE       film-makers and musicians to discuss the best examples of
TUE       the genre.

TUE       
TUE       Series focusing on the work of 17th-century Dutch
TUE       philosopher Baruch Spinoza.
TUE       
TUE       Prof Susan James from Birkbeck College, University of
TUE       London, explores Spinoza's philosophical work on the role
TUE       of democracy in 17th-century Europe. Spinoza's defence of
TUE       democracy, along with his commitment to religious
TUE       pluralism, set him apart from his contemporaries, and
TUE       started a new line of political thinking which stretches
TUE       to today.

WED       Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998), Episode 3
WED       
WED       Donald Macleod presents a celebration of the music of the
WED       USSR's last great composer, Alfred Schnittke.
WED       
WED       In 1975, Shostakovich, the titanic figure of Soviet music,
WED       died. Schnittke inherited the mantle of the USSR's premier
WED       composer - one whose music encapsulated the absurdity, the
WED       banality and the struggle of life under the Soviet
WED       dictatorship.
WED       
WED       Donald is joined again Russian music expert Alexander
WED       Ivashkin to explore three key works from the mid-1970s:
WED       his tragic Piano Quintet, written after the death of his
WED       mother; the plangent Four Hymns for instrumental ensemble;
WED       and the First Concerto grosso, described by the composer
WED       as featuring 'a joyful children's chorus, a nostalgic
WED       atonal serenade, a piece of 100 per cent guaranteed
WED       Corelli - made in the USSR - and finally my grandmother's
WED       favourite tango played by my great-grandmother on a
WED       harpsichord'.

WED       
WED       Violinist Alexandra Soumm and pianist Julien Quentin open
WED       the programme with Prokofiev's Violin Sonata in D. It
WED       began life as a flute sonata but David Oistrakh thought it
WED       would make a good violin sonata and he managed to sell the
WED       idea to the composer. It is followed by Bartok's String
WED       Quartet No 1 performed by the Brodsky Quaret. The work was
WED       completed in 1909, when Bartok began his resarches into
WED       Hugarian folk music, but the quartet shows little
WED       influence of these studies until the finale.

WED       Enlightenment Voices, Spinoza, Part 3
WED       
WED       Series focusing on the work of 17th-century Dutch
WED       philosopher Baruch Spinoza.
WED       
WED       Dr Adam Sutcliffe from King's College, London explores the
WED       background of 17th-century intellectual life in Amsterdam
WED       and Spinoza's part in the birth of the Enlightenment.
WED       
WED       Amsterdam in the 17th century - like today - was a
WED       strikingly easy-going city. Spinoza's thought was shaped
WED       by the cultural diversity of the city of his birth and by
WED       the intense struggles over the relationship between
WED       politics and religion that raged there. The relative
WED       tolerance of Amsterdam enabled the highly creative fusions
WED       of Spinoza's philosophy; but his thought was spurred above
WED       all by his vigorous opposition to religious dogmatism and
WED       intolerance, both Jewish and Christian.

THU       
THU       Donald Macleod presents a celebration of the music of the
THU       USSR's last great composer, Alfred Schnittke.
THU       
THU       As a new era of openness dawned in the Soviet Union in the
THU       1980s, the West was finally able to meet this shy,
THU       brilliant composer in person. Yet - with tragic irony -
THU       just as Schnittke was at last able to enjoy the public
THU       acclaim he deserved, he was struck down by the first of a
THU       series of crippling strokes.
THU       
THU       Donald is joined by Alexander Ivashkin, the composer's
THU       friend and biographer, to discuss Schnittke's life and
THU       works during this period. Featuring a complete performance
THU       of one of his greatest - and most terrifying - works: the
THU       disturbing Faust Cantata.

THU       Free Thinking 2009
THU       
THU       Matthew Sweet presents a talk given at The Sage Gateshead
THU       as part of Radio 3's Free Thinking festival, in which
THU       bioethicist and disability specialist Tom Shakespeare asks
THU       how art can help us understand today's difficult moral
THU       issues.
THU       
THU       He believes that in many of today's contentious and
THU       emotional public debates - for example around disability,
THU       ante-natal screening or even the heated discussion of the
THU       right to die - there are often no clear answers. Neither
THU       science, nor social research, nor ethical reasoning can
THU       tell us what to do - much as we may wish for them to do so.
THU       
THU       Instead, Tom argues it is not science, but rather art that
THU       can help us think through these modern dilemmas by making
THU       space for the emotion and complexity they need. He demands
THU       we think of art as a 'tool for thinking', explaining why
THU       as a scientist he believes we need to involve art in some
THU       of our most difficult social and ethical decisions -
THU       because it will help us in unexpected ways.

THU       
THU       Series focusing on the work of 17th-century Dutch
THU       philosopher Baruch Spinoza.
THU       
THU       Prof Susan James from Birkbeck College, University of
THU       London, examines the reaction to Spinoza's defence of
THU       religious pluralism in his Theological Political Treatise.
THU       Raised in Amsterdam as a Sephardic Jew, Spinoza was
THU       immersed in what might nowadays be called a multi-faith
THU       community, and in the work he explores the relationship
THU       between religion, politics and philosophy. Despite the
THU       relative tolerance of Amsterdam at the time, Spinoza's
THU       treatise caused great outcry.

FRI       
FRI       Donald Macleod presents a celebration of the music of the
FRI       USSR's last great composer, Alfred Schnittke.
FRI       
FRI       Almost incapacited by a series of crippling strokes,
FRI       Schnittke continued heroically to compose right until his
FRI       death in 1998. Donald is joined for a final time by
FRI       Schnittke's friend and biographer Alexander Ivashkin to
FRI       discuss the composer's last work: his enigmatic Ninth
FRI       Symphony, deciphered after his death from near-illegible
FRI       scrawl by composer Alexander Raskatov.
FRI       
FRI       Featuring excerpts from Schnittke's last film music - for
FRI       an adaptation of Bulgakov's diabolical story The Master
FRI       and Margarita - and his controversial opera, Life With An

FRI       1905 until his retirement in 1934. In his music room
FRI       overlooking Brook Green, the composer wrote some of his
FRI       most famous works, including The Planets and Brook Green
FRI       suites. The school still reveres its eccentric teacher as
FRI       recent music students testify and one of Holst's own
FRI       pupils, Margaret Eliot, recalls what Holst was like as a
FRI       teacher and a man. And there is revealing archive from
FRI       Holst's composer-colleagues and friends, Ralph Vaughan
FRI       Williams and Herbert Howells, as well as from Holst's late
FRI       daughter, Imogen.

FRI       It depicts the awe and mystery of the night sky, ranging

FRI       through to the joyous vigour of Jupiter - music that is

FRI       
FRI       Professor Justin Champion of Royal Holloway, University of

FRI       enlightenment possible. After being banished from
FRI       Amsterdam, Spinoza made a living by working as a lens
FRI       grinder and living a virtuous life. He continued his
FRI       philosophy and it was published by financially astute
FRI       publishers, often under misleading titles. Translations
FRI       into French and English also spread the volumes to new
FRI       audiences across Europe and he was an intellectual
FRI       celebrity both revered and reviled.
