It was composed during Rodrigo's years in ParisSUNbefore the outbreak of the Second World War where theSUNcomposer and his wife were living in near poverty. ItsSUNsuccess made the blind composer world famous. Written inSUNbraille, it is one of the earliest examples of a concertoSUNfor guitar and orchestra and before its first performance,SUNRodrigo suffered sleepless nights worried that the quietSUNsounding guitar wouldn't be heard about the forces of theSUNorchestra. However, Rodrigo's subtle orchestration andSUNnovel writing for the instrument proved his fearsSUNgroundless.SUNSUNThe other concerto in the programme is the Fantasia paraSUNun Gentilhombre written for the great Spanish guitaristSUNSegovia which draws on some of the rich heritage of musicSUNfor the guitar from Spain's past, as Craig Ogden explainsSUNand demonstrates.

One hundred and seven and a halfSUNyears later, in the one hundred and fiftieth anniversarySUNof his birth - and now that Chekhov is second only toSUNShakespeare in popularity as a playwright across the globeSUN- Susannah Clapp explores his obsession with memory andSUNthe passage of time, and his fear of being forgotten. SheSUNgathers a special Chekhov repetory company, including AnnaSUNMaxwell Martin, at the BBC's Maida Vale studios, toSUNdiscuss and perform new translations by the young poetSUNSasha Dugdale, of Three Sisters, his most memory-obsessedSUNplay; and hears from Chekhov experts in Britain andSUNMoscow, including the translator Michael Frayn, theSUNdirector Declan Donnellan and Anatoly Smelianski, directorSUNof the Moscow Art Theatre school, to tell a story ofSUNbroken clocks, spinning tops, tuberculosis and immortality.SUNSUNActors: Melissa Advani, Bruce Alexander, JosephSUNCohen-Cahn, Emerald O'Hanrahan, Tessa Nicholson, AnnaSUNMaxwell Martin and Piers Wehner.SUNSUNProducer: Beaty Rubens.SUNSUN22:45 Words and Music b00q900w (Listen)SUNSons of RussiaSUNSUNTo celebrate the 150th anniversary of Anton Chekhov'sSUNbirth, actors Mackenzie Crook and Jason Isaacs exploreSUNmale fragility in Russian literature. The tensions betweenSUNgenerations and classes are revealed with readings fromSUNGogol, Turgenev and Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, whilstSUNadulterous love infuses his short story The Lady with theSUNDog. Perhaps above all, why do these men have such anSUNattachment to their Motherland? Why does the averageSUNRussian 'Ivan' place his country above everything else,SUNeven God? With music by Prokofiev, Shostakovich andSUNSchnittke.SUNSUNIn the past decade, Mackenzie Crook has quicklySUNestablished himself as a versatile character actor afterSUNappearing in the BBC TV comedy The Office and Pirates ofSUNthe Caribbean films. In early 2010 he returns to his roleSUNin the rival of acclaimed play Jerusalem in the West End.SUNMackenzie reads from Dostoyevsky's Crime & Punishment,SUNGogol's The Government Inspector and Pushkin's EugeneSUNOnegin.SUNSUNJason Isaacs, introduced to a new generation of filmSUNlovers as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, readsSUNpassages from Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, Three SistersSUNand short story The Lady with the Dog, as well as extractsSUNfrom Turgenev and Tolstoy.SUNSUNProducer's note:SUNSUN“In Russia one can only believe.”SUNSUNAfter reading Anthony Beevor’s Stalingrad, I was struck bySUNthe extraordinary sense of belonging Russian troops had toSUNtheir country. What was it that instilled such passion inSUNthe everyday “Ivan”? The word rodina (Motherland) meansSUNmore than just the place where one is born. It refers to aSUNcollective national identity that can never be broken.SUNSUNWith this in mind, I was perplexed that there didn’t seemSUNto be many strong role models in the works of AntonSUNChekhov and other Russian dramatists and writers. Most ofSUNthe men are weak, susceptible, corrupted or greedy. ItSUNseems they have to reach much further back to tales suchSUNas Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the Terrible to find a realSUNnational hero.SUNSUNThroughout the programme, the voice of Mother Russia (readSUNby Mascha Karp) interjects with passages of the romanticSUNpoet Tyutchev, propaganda slogans and a Russian proverb.SUNThe translations can be found below in the running order.SUNSUNTo start the programme, an 11 year old Dmitri HvorostovskySUNsings Motherland hears, a hugely popular tune that allSUNRussians are taught from an early age. It is said thatSUNYuri Gagarin, on the first manned space orbit in 1961,SUNwhistled the melody back to ground control.SUNSUNGogol’s The Government Inspector offers a satirical crossSUNsection of Russian society. Schnittke’s Gogol Suite layersSUNMozartian motives to sardonically refer to theSUNestablishment’s delusions of grandeur.SUNSUNAnton Chekhov’s dramatic works stand him out as the titanSUNof the form. Perhaps lesser known, but just as valid, hisSUN220 short stories were able to condense complex humanSUNfeelings and moral choices that many readers could relateSUNto within a simple narrative. In The Lady with the Dog,SUNunrequited love is directly addressed with the story ofSUNmiddle-aged Moscovite Dmitri Gurov who meets a young wifeSUNAnna Sergeyevna in a Black Sea resort. Their tryst isSUNshort but the affair plagues Gurov on his return to theSUNcapital, he can’t get the thought of Anna out of his mind.SUNIn Champagne, the wayfarer (portrayed by Mackenzie Crook)SUNrelates the story of his alcoholic descent into a darkSUNcity alleyway via a desolate station in the Russian steppe.SUNSUNThe character of Raskolnikov in Dostoyevsky’s Crime &SUNPunishment is devastatingly flawed. After committing theSUNbloody murder, he returns to his bedsit, where he promptlySUNfalls asleep. Upon awakening he realises, in a moment ofSUNpanic, that there is still blood on his trousers. ASUNhypochondriac all his life, Scriabin’s The Poem of FireSUNconvincingly sets the mood.SUNSUNLenin’s What is to be done? was written as a politicalSUNpamphlet in 1901. It calls for the formation of aSUNrevolutionary party to direct the working class.SUNUnderneath actor Jason Isaac’s oratorical reading, theSUNmusic to Shostakovich’s opera The Nose bombastically mocksSUNbourgeois self-importance.SUNSUNIn Turgenev’s best known work Fathers & Sons, theSUNcharacter Yevgeny Bazarov discards the outdated ways ofSUNthe old generation and embraces the future. In music, itSUNcan be intriguing to juxtapose works from differentSUNgenerations. Gabriel Prokofiev acknowledges that hisSUNgrandfather has hugely influenced his work and it isSUNinteresting to hear their different (or perhaps, you maySUNthink, similar) approaches to writing for string quartet.SUNSUNThe programme ends with two of Chekhov’s most famousSUNdramatic works, The Cherry Orchard and Three Sisters. InSUNthe final act of The Cherry Orchard, the cast are stunnedSUNinto silence when Lopakhin reveals it is he himself whoSUNhas purchased the orchard. The old guard have beenSUNreplaced by new money. Maybe there are strong role modelsSUNin Russian literature after all?SUNSUNProducer: Tom NelsonSUNSUN00:00SUNLAMB Soft Mistake [extract] FONTANA 558 821-2SUNTr.1SUN00:35SUNTYUTCHEV Russia cannot be grasped with the mind,SUNOr measured in feet and inches.SUNFor she has a special character:SUNIn Russian one can only believe.

Alexander Borodin (1833-1887) wasMONone of history's great polymaths - who combined a careerMONas one of Russia's great research chemists with an equallyMONdazzling creative life as one of the 19th century's mostMONenchanting composers. Happily married, loved by hisMONfriends and also a noted writer, philanthropist andMONlinguist, Borodin's life was high on talent, short onMONcrisis - and full of extraordinary, bewitching music.MONMONNo-one could write a tune like Borodin - and didn't hisMONpeers know it. Throughout Borodin's life, Rimsky-KorsakovMONand others nagged on and on at him for his 'misplaced'MONdevotion to science, criticised his running quiteMONliterally from piano to laboratory, urged him to writeMONmore than he possibly was able. Never mind that hisMONscientist colleagues were advising him to do precisely theMONopposite...MONMONBy the time of Borodin's early death aged 54 (he expiredMONof a heart attack merrily dancing the night away at aMONball), he'd completed a mere few dozen works - yet almostMONwithout exception they're some of the most charming worksMONof the Romantic era - brimming with melodic genius andMONpassion for his native Russia. Such was the affection inMONwhich Borodin was held, his friends rallied round toMONreconstruct and complete many of his unfinishedMONcompositions after his death, ensuring his genius wouldMONlive on forever.MONMONThis week, Donald Macleod celebrates the life and work ofMONthe Talented Dr Borodin, featuring all three symphonies,MONIn The Steppes Of Steppes Of Central Asia and a host ofMONchamber works, including his Second String QuartetMON(featuring the famous Nocturne). Tuesday's episode givesMONa rare airing to all sixteen of Borodin's solo songs - aMONrevelation, in the presenter's words - whilst on ThursdayMONwe'll hear extended excerpts from the Second Act ofMONBorodin's operatic masterpiece, Prince Igor, including theMONfamous Polovtsian Dances.MONMONDonald Macleod explores the brilliant, happy life ofMONAlexander Borodin - who combined equally dazzling careersMONin music and chemistry, as well as being a noted linguist,MONwriter and philanthropist. In the first episode of theMONseries he explores the early conflicts Borodin facedMONbetween his twin careers - often having to quite literallyMONrun from laboratory to piano - as well as the origins ofMONthe composer's First Symphony.MONMONBorodin arr.

Born the sonMONof a Catholic Music Dealer, Elgar was always haunted byMONhis modest social origins as he longed for a place in theMONestablishment. In this week's programmes Katie DerhamMONtakes the Outsider theme a stage further, usingMONperformances of Elgar's music by non-British ensembles andMONasking the question - do you have to be British to getMONsomething from this music?MONMONOther outsiders over the week are Beethoven -MONincreasingly isolated in his deafness; Kurt Weill -MONhounded out of Nazi Germany; Shostakovich - the focus ofMONStalinist criticism in 1930's Soviet Union, and RuedMONLanggaard, a Danish composer very much in the shadow ofMONhis elder contemporary Carl Nielsen, and who did not getMONthe recognition he perhaps deserved at the time.MONMONIn today's programme, Katie Derham introduces Elgar'sMONstirring Cockaigne overture, and Walton's youthful firstMONsymphony conducted by Sir Roger Norrington. Beethoven'sMONisolation comes across in one of his late quartets, andMONsongs by Kurt Weill which were such a corrosive commentaryMONon 1930's Berlin that he was hounded out of Nazi Germany.MONMONElgar: Cockaigne OvertureMONMONWalton: Symphony No.1 Leipzig Gewandhaus orchestraMONSir Roger Norrington (conductor)MONMONGeirr Tveitt: Piano Concerto No.1 in F (Op.5)MONNorwegian Radio Orchestra Ole Kristian Ruud (conductor)MONMONBeethoven: Quartet for Strings in Eb (Op.127)MONBrentano QuartetMONMONWeill: 5 Songs:MONYoukali; Complainte de Seine; Je ne t'aime pas; Le grandMONLustruscu & J'attends un navire both from Marie GalanteMONRenata Poklupic (mezzo-soprano) Roger Vignoles (piano)MONMONCopland: Clarinet Concerto Michael Collins (clarinet)MONLimburg Symphony Orchestra Kynons John (conductor).MONMON17:00 In Tune b00q904t (Listen)MONMON19:00 Performance on 3 b00q906t (Listen)MONBBC SO/BringuierMONMONThe BBC Symphony Orchestra is joined by the young FrenchMONconductor Lionel Bringiuer, winner of the Besancon YoungMONConductors Competition in 2005, and still only in hisMONearly twenties.

Born the sonTUEof a Catholic Music Dealer, Elgar was always haunted byTUEhis modest social origins as he longed for a place in theTUEestablishment. In this week's programmes Katie DerhamTUE(joining the Afternoon on 3 team this week for the firstTUEtime) takes the Outsider theme a stage further, usingTUEperformances of Elgar's music by non-British ensembles andTUEasking the question - do you have to be British to getTUEsomething from this music?TUETUEOther outsiders over the week are Beethoven -TUEincreasingly isolated in his deafness; Kurt Weill -TUEhounded out of Nazi Germany; Shostakovich - the focus ofTUEStalinist criticism in 1930's Soviet Union, and RuedTUELanggaard, a Danish composer very much in the shadow ofTUEhis elder contemporary Carl Nielsen, and who did not getTUEthe recognition he perhaps deserved at the time.TUETUEIn today's programme, Katie Derham introduces Elgar'sTUEgreat statement of faith The Dream of Gerontius, writtenTUEto a text by fellow Catholic Cardinal Newman, and was theTUEbest of me according to Elgar himself. Despite aTUEcomfortable upbringing and early success Samuel BarberTUEbecame more isolated as depression increasingly preventedTUEhim from composing. Charles Koechlin was a gifted andTUEpopular teacher, but never managed to get the officialTUEposts in the musical establishment which he wanted andTUEprobably deserved.TUETUEElgar: Dream of Gerontius Allan Clayton (tenor)TUEJonathan Lemalu (bass-baritone)TUEJane Irwin (mezzo-soprano)TUEWitold Lutoslawski Philharmonic Chorus,TUEPolish Radio Chorus Halle ChoirTUEWitold Lutoslawski Philharmonic OrchestraTUEJacek Kaspszyk (conductor)TUETUEBarber: Violin Concerto (Op.14) Joshua Bell (violin)TUESwedish Radio Symphony Orchestra Marin Alsop (conductor)TUETUEDebussy (orch.

ForFRIcenturies, it held its place in the Requiem Mass, but withFRIthe dawning of the Romantic age in the 19th Century,FRIHector Berlioz employed the melody of the chant in hisFRISymphonie Fantastique and began a secular trend which wasFRIto preoccupy and fascinate composers. So, Liszt revelledFRIin its macabre associations in his Totentanz andFRIRachmaninov incorporated the distinctive four-note motifFRIinto many of his works. When the Dies Irae became anFRIoptional part of the Requiem Mass in the mid-20th Century,FRIits grim foreboding found a new home in horror filmFRIscores, perhaps most famously in Wendy Carlos' electronicFRIrendition of the melody in the opening sequence to StanleyFRIKubrick's The Shining.FRISara Mohr-Pietsch traces the journey of this chant withFRIthe help of Jeremy Summerly, David Nice and David HuckvaleFRIand discovers that the ear-worm of the Dies Irae is hardFRIto shake off.FRIFRI20:10 Performance on 3 b00q911w (Listen)FRIRavel, Britten, Berlioz, Part 2FRIFRITo end the concert, one of the most descriptive pieces ofFRIromantic music ever written, the Symphonie fantastique,FRIdepicting Berlioz's journey from falling in love toFRIrejection in five movements - a series of opium-inducedFRIvisions of his beloved.FRIFRIBBC PhilharmonicFRIconductor Yutaka SadoFRIFRIBerlioz: Symphonie fantastique.FRIFRI21:15 The Verb b00q911y (Listen)FRIA live edition of Ian McMillan's cabaret of the word fromFRIthe Radio Theatre in Broadcasting House, featuring aFRIChekhov-inspired performance by improvisational group TheFRIFactory, and a new commission from Rebecca Lenkiewicz whoFRIrecently became the first living female playwright to haveFRIher work performed on the Olivier stage of the NationalFRITheatre.FRIFRI22:00 Composer of the Week b00q911h (Listen)FRI[Repeat of broadcast at 12:00 today.]FRIFRI23:00 The Essay b00q9120 (Listen)FRIChekhov Essays, Xiaolu GuoFRIFRINovelist, short story writer and film-maker Xiaolu Guo,FRIreflects her personal debt to Chekhov in a ChekhovianFRIshort story of her own.FRIFRIThe novelist, short story writer and film-maker Xiaolu GuoFRIwas born in a fishing village in south China.
