Tom Service SAT meets mezzo soprano Karen Cargill and soprano Lisa Milne to SAT talk about the experience of performing in front of a home SAT crowd as well as Robin Ticciati, the newly installed SAT principal conductor of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. Plus SAT the role of the bagpipe in Scottish life. SAT SAT Robin Ticciati SAT SAT Robin Ticciati became the new Principal Conductor of the SAT Scottish Chamber Orchestra at the end of last year. SAT Although still in his mid-twenties Robin’s youth is SAT deceptive: mentored by Simon Rattle and Colin Davis, he SAT already has a maturity and openness that have impressed SAT many of his colleagues. SAT SAT Robin talks to Tom about the joys, frustrations, and SAT emotional challenges of life on the podium. SAT SAT Lisa Milne & Karen Cargill SAT SAT Lisa Milne and Karen Cargill are two of Scotland’s, and SAT classical music’s finest singers: both hailing from the SAT north-east of the country they’ve made careers that have SAT taken them around the world. SAT SAT They’re full of infectious banter when they meet Tom at SAT Glasgow’s City Halls to talk about their lives as Scots and SAT as singers, and how they balance their international SAT careers with their lives at home in Scotland. SAT SAT Scotland’s Music Scene SAT SAT Scotland’s musical optimism seems well-founded at the SAT moment: Donald Runnicles has taken over the BBC Scottish SAT Symphony Orchestra and Robin Ticciati is in charge at the SAT Scottish Chamber Orchestra, but are things as rosy as they SAT seem, with the challenges of the economic crisis and big SAT question marks over the future of music education? SAT SAT Tom asks Scotland’s minister for Culture and External SAT Affairs, Fiona Hyslop, what guarantees she has for the SAT music sector, and discusses the future with Michael SAT Tumelty, music critic of the Glasgow Herald, and James SAT Waters, director for classical music at Perth Concert Hall. SAT SAT The Bagpipes SAT SAT If there's one definitive sound of Scotland, then it's the SAT sound of bagpipes. But it's not just the image of the piper SAT in his kilt playing for tourists on the Royal Mile in SAT Edinburgh - the pipes are undergoing a renaissance in SAT Scottish cultural life as a real meaningful musical SAT instrument. SAT SAT Tom catches up with the Manchester United of the piping SAT world, The House of Edgar Shotts and Dykehead Pipe Band. 15 SAT times winners of the piping world championships, they're SAT celebrating what has been a glorious century. And there's SAT piper Finlay MacDonald at the National Piping Centre. He's SAT putting the pipes through their paces in jazz, rock and SAT improvisation. Tom meets him together with piping students SAT from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and SAT discovers that the pipes are a living tradition, and an SAT important symbol of cultural confidence. SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b00r6714 (Listen) SAT Brighton EMF Mantra SAT SAT Lucie Skeaping presents highlights of a concert recorded at SAT the 2009 Brighton Early Music Festival. The Orlando Consort SAT were joined by the tabla player Kuljit Bhamra, Jonathan SAT Mayer on sitar, and the singer Shahid Khan, for a project SAT called "Mantra". The project is inspired by an historical SAT musical encounter 500 years ago when Portuguese SAT missionaries settled in Goa, and introduced western SAT instruments, plainsong and polyphony. In turn, the SAT missionaries had chance to learn about eastern music, and SAT this developed into a remarkable collaboration between the SAT two diverse cultures. The music in the project and from SAT this concert are a mixture of old and new; music by Escobar SAT and Guerrero are examples of the sort of vocal polyphony SAT that travelled East. As there is no precise account of the SAT type of music sung or played during this collaboration in SAT the 16th century, some works in this concert have been SAT written by members of the Orlando Consort and Kuljit SAT Bhamra, Jonathan Mayer and Shahid Khan to explore and SAT imagine how their music-making may have sounded. SAT SAT All music performed by The Orlando Consort with Kuljit SAT Bhamra, Jonathan Mayer and Shahid Khan, and recorded at the SAT Brighton Early Music Festival.

SAT She is joined by pianist Gilles Vonsattel, a fellow student SAT from the Juilliard School of Music in her native New York. SAT Their programme includes Respighi's 'edition' of a sonata SAT by Vivaldi and Mozart's elegant 'little A Major' work. SAT Between them comes music by Romanian-born George Enescu, a SAT fine violinist as well as a composer and conductor. His 3rd SAT Sonata recalls his native folk-music, quarter-tones and SAT all. SAT SAT 15:00 World Routes b00r672t (Listen) SAT Rita Ray visits the Sauti za Busara Festival in Zanzibar to SAT hear some of the island's leading big-band 'taraab' SAT ensembles. Including specially-recorded performances from SAT Zanzibar's premier band Culture Musical Club, also the SAT latest sensation Mohamed Ilyas and his Nyota Zameremeta SAT Orchestra. SAT SAT Taraab dates from the centuries when Zanzibar was a centre SAT for trade in the Arab world - the main instruments in the SAT bands are the Arabic lute and zither, and the scales are SAT Arabic. When the Arab Sultans left, the taraab orchestras SAT formed themselves into collectives, and in the programme SAT the founder members of Culture Musical Club recall the SAT years leading up to independence in 1963, when their band SAT was formed. Taraab is now starting to reach international SAT audiences through the albums and tours of musicians like SAT Mohamed Ilyas. The programme also features songs from Bi SAT Kidude, Zanzibar's 'Little Granny', who despite her great SAT age, can still thrill an audience of both old and young.

The SAT story of Attila explores a pivotal moment in history - the SAT collapse of the Roman Empire under attacks from the SAT 'barbarians' led by Attila. The demanding title role is SAT sung here by the young Russian bass Ildar Abrazakov. Attila SAT is a ruthless but honourable leader who falls in love with SAT one of his conquests, the Italian slave Odabella, sung by SAT the soprano Violeta Urmana. She, in turn, seeks revenge on SAT Attila because he killed her father. The tenor Ramón Vargas SAT is her lover, Foresto, who rallies the defeated Italian SAT people and Carlos Alvarez is the General Ezio, a brilliant SAT but corrupt soldier. Veteran bass Samuel Ramey, himself a SAT spectacular Attila in the 1970s and 80s, makes a cameo SAT appearance as Leone (Pope Leo 1). One of the opera's most SAT stirring moments is the historical scene between Attila and SAT the Pope (who convinced the invader to spare Rome). It is a SAT fascinating story of the clash of religions, politics and SAT love with a score full of the youthful vitality and SAT magnificent spirit of the 33-year old musical genius. SAT SAT Presented by Margaret Juntwait with guest commentator Ira SAT Siff. There will be live backstage interviews with members SAT of the cast during the interval.

SAT SAT CAST SAT Lucy...............Georgia Groome SAT David..............Joe Dempsie SAT Dianne............Esther Coles SAT Phil.................Tony Bell SAT Vicky..............Sophie Ellerby SAT Amy................Keely Beresford SAT SAT Directed by Marc Beeby SAT SAT THE WRITER SAT Laura Lomas is from Derby. She studied English at the SAT University of Nottingham and completed an MPhil in SAT Playwriting at Birmingham University in 2008. She has SAT worked with the Royal Court and BBC writersroom on the 50 SAT and 24 degrees projects, and has had rehearsed readings at SAT Nottingham Playhouse and the Royal Court. Her first play SAT Wasteland was produced by New Perspectives in April last SAT year. Since then, her plays include Traces (Paines Plough, SAT Lattitude Festival), 10,000 Metres Deep (Paines Plough and SAT Oran Mor Theatre) and Us Like Gods (Hampstead Theatre Heat SAT and Light). She is currently one of six writers on SAT attachment with Paines Plough's Future Perfect Scheme. SAT SAT THE STORY SAT SAT Lucy Island wants to be hard and dry like a desert. SAT But in getting her wish, she transforms her community. SAT SAT Lucy, sixteen and angry, lives in Matlock in the heart of SAT the Derwent Valley. Her father died on the night of the SAT 'Illuminations' - a local festival - nearly a year ago. He SAT killed himself. She loved him and is having trouble coming SAT to terms with his death, his betrayal. Lucy lives with her SAT Mum, Dianne, Dianne is a warm and vibrant woman, deeply SAT wounded by her husband's death. She drinks like a fish and SAT smokes like she's breathing. She loves her daughter but SAT doesn't understand her. SAT Dad's caravan - the place where he killed himself - sits at SAT the bottom of their garden, a constant reminder of his SAT absence, but also a source of solace to the grieving Lucy, SAT who spends a lot of time on her own - in the caravan and in SAT the countryside. She is tuned into the rhythm of the land, SAT likes to listen to the wind from the top of Black Rocks, or SAT the river, swollen, where it meets the cliffs in a storm. SAT This is her landscape. SAT But Lucy is increasingly lost. She blames her Mum for her SAT Father's suicide, and is hostile to her schoolmates - an SAT attitude that attracts bullying. Her only comfort is the SAT time she spends with her friend David on Black Rocks. But SAT David has troubles of his own as he struggled to cope with SAT a father traumatised by war experiences. SAT When Lucy is brutally attacked by two girls from school and SAT David - who has had to deal with his father's increasingly SAT disturbing panic attacks - inadvertently rejects her, Lucy SAT retreats inside herself. She will toughen up. She needs to SAT be hard and dry like a desert island. She will stop SAT drinking - if you don't drink then there's no water in you, SAT and if there's no water, there are no tears. SAT As Lucy's body dries, the world around her changes. Her skin SAT splits and flakes, her throat rasps and the colour is SAT drained from her. As she begins to wither, so does the SAT landscape: the canals empty, the football pitches crack and SAT the goalposts rust, the concrete splits and the land is SAT bleached of colour, and the Derwent dries up. It is October SAT and Matlock is getting ready for this year's Illuminations SAT - a display of fire works and illuminated floats along the SAT river - but now it appears that the people of Matlock will SAT have to pull their floats along the dry river bed. SAT Dianne can see what is happening to her daughter. In an SAT attempt to end Lucy's grief, Dianne torches Dad's caravan. SAT For Lucy, this is the final straw. She retreats to Black SAT Rocks. David is there. But something has happened to him. SAT He is different. For the first time, Lucy sees him as he SAT really is - sees someone else in pain. And at that moment, SAT it begins to rain.

SUN SUN Ann Cargill, made her London stage debut in 1771 at the SUN tender age of eleven, playing the role of Titania in George SUN Coleman's Covent Garden production of Thomas Arne's opera SUN "The Fairy Prince". She soon became a huge box office hit SUN as a child star, and took on more and more roles as she SUN grew into womanhood. By the time she was fifteen, she was SUN a very attractive young lady indeed, and used her feminine SUN wiles to attract a string of rather undesirable suitors. SUN After she eloped with a married man eighteen years her SUN senior, her father eventually washed his hands of her. She SUN continued to be a popular draw at Drury Lane, in SUN productions of John Gay's "The Beggar's Opera" and Thomas SUN Linley's "The Duenna", but her love-life became more and SUN more scandalous as the years progressed. She married the SUN son of a wealthy diamond merchant, but they separated after SUN just three days, when she discovered he was flat-broke and SUN evading his creditors! Eventually, she fell in love with a SUN handsome merchant seaman - Captain John Haldane - and, SUN carrying his illegitimate child, left London altogether to SUN start a new life with him in India. SUN SUN In Bombay, however, she received a mixed reception. Some SUN were delighted that such a charming and talented young SUN woman was providing entertainment by giving performances of SUN her famous arias; others, however, were distinctly SUN unimpressed that an English strumpet was parading around SUN far-flung corners of the Empire, flaunting her bastard son SUN and bringing shame and embarrassment to the nation. One SUN such, was the Prime Minister, William Pitt the Younger, who SUN sent word via the East India Company that Mrs Cargill and SUN Captain Haldane should return to Britain forthwith. So, in SUN December 1783, they boarded their ship - the Nancy Packet - SUN and set sail for London once again. SUN SUN The journey was long and arduous, and they finally arrived SUN in British waters in February 1784, amidst a horrific gale. SUN In the middle of the night, the ship became hopelessly SUN lost, and struck one of the many treacherous rocks off the SUN western reaches of Scilly. Ann Cargill, still wearing her SUN nightclothes, managed to scramble into a lifeboat with her SUN infant son, heading for Rosevear Island, which appeared to SUN be the nearest safe haven. SUN SUN The Nancy Packet broke apart and sank in the tumult, and it SUN wasn't for another seven days that the weather abated SUN enough for locals to venture out to the wreck site to see SUN if there were any survivors. They discovered the upturned SUN lifeboat just off a small bay on Rosevear Island, and SUN underneath, found Ann Cargill, floating in her nightgown, SUN with her head resting on her baby's, as if in sleep. It SUN was a melancholy scene to break any heart. SUN SUN All the dead were buried in makeshift graves on top of SUN Rosevear Island, until a wealthy businessman offered to pay SUN for Ann Cargill, John Haldane and their son to have a SUN proper burial at the Old Town Church on St. Mary's. It's SUN said that those who have visited Rosevear Island since the SUN disaster struck, have heard an unearthly singing. SUN SUN Lucie Skeaping meets Todd Stevens, a wreck-diver and SUN treasure hunter, who found the wreck of the Nancy Packet in SUN 2007, and has since written a book about his findings and SUN about the life and death of Ann Cargill.

SUN SUN 17:00 Discovering Music b00r67m0 (Listen) SUN Barber: Violin Concerto and Essay No 1 for Orchestra SUN SUN Stephen Johnson explores one of Samuel Barber's most SUN tranquil and astonishing wartime orchestral works - his SUN Violin Concerto, which he began in Switzerland in the SUN summer of 1939. Barber continued writing the finale of the SUN concerto in Paris before he quickly returned to his SUN homeland of Pennsylvania as World War II erupted in Europe. SUN The Violin Concerto was actually a commission from an SUN American entrepreneur - Samuel Fels, who wanted a virtuosic SUN showpiece for his adopted son to play. Barber's late SUN Romantic style, though, wasn't exactly what Fels was SUN looking for, so there had to be a number of changes made SUN before the young prodigy Iso Briselli agreed to perform it. SUN To begin the programme, Stephen Johnson also looks at SUN another work written around the same time as the Violin SUN Concerto - his Essay No.1 for Orchestra. This was a SUN commission by the great Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini SUN in 1938. Toscanini, despite living in the USA for many SUN years, rarely commissioned new works from American SUN composers, but he had been so struck by the "simple beauty" SUN of the slow movement of Samuel Barber's String Quartet, SUN that he suggested Barber provide him with a version for SUN full string orchestra. The First Essay, which has similar SUN melancholic undertones to the resultant, now famous "Adagio SUN for strings", was first performed at that same concert. SUN Gavin Maloney conducts the Ulster Orchestra in extracts and SUN complete performances of both works, which were recorded in SUN the Ulster Hall, Belfast in September 2009.

SUN SUN 23:00 Words and Music b00r67zd (Listen) SUN The Thrill of the Chase SUN SUN In The Thrill of the Chase Nicholas Farrell and Deborah SUN Findlay read poetry and prose on the theme of hunting and SUN chasing – celebrating the exhilaration of the chase, the SUN terror of being the hunted, and the very different thrill SUN of the lovers’ pursuit. SUN SUN You’ll hear Adrienne Rich’s evocation of the experience of a SUN fox in the dusk, Charles Causley’s humorous but pointed SUN ballad, ‘I Saw A Jolly Hunter’ and Roger Scruton on how SUN hunting shaped our psyche. Music by Kreisler, Janequin and SUN Harrison Birtwistle celebrates the energetic joy of the SUN chase, while John Burnside’s ‘The Hunt In The Forest’ and SUN music from Schubert and the Kronos Quartet offer reflection SUN on the darker side of hunting. SUN SUN Hunting is now a pursuit which is the subject of SUN considerable controversy but in the past whaling used to SUN provide income for hundreds of thousands of families across SUN the planet, and was seen as a noble and brave pursuit, as SUN demonstrated in the extract from Moby Dick, and the folk SUN song from Mawkin:Causley. SUN SUN And finally, the lover’s chase is a hunt of an entirely SUN different order – although the language of the hunt SUN illustrates the pursuit of love well – with poetry from Sir SUN Thomas Wyatt, an extract from a Midsummer Night’s Dream, SUN and music from Sir Michael Tippett and Kreisler.

MON MON 19:00 Performance on 3 b00r89q7 (Listen) MON BBC SO/Minkowski MON MON The conductor Mark Minkowski places Stravinsky's MON neoclassical ballet score alongside one of the original MON masterpieces of Pergolesi. MON MON The impresario Serge Diaghilev suggested to Stravinsky, in MON exile in Switzerland during the period of the Russian Civil MON War, that he should arrange a group of 18 'Pergolesi' MON pieces retrieved from the Conservatory library in Naples. MON Over half of the works turned out to be by other composers. MON Whatever the identity of the original authors, Stravinsky MON warmed to his task after seeing the scores and produced a MON scintillating ballet. The plot centres round the wily MON Pulcinella and his jealous girlfriend, Pimpinella with all MON the usual twists and turns associated with the Italian MON commedia dell'arte figures. MON MON The real Pergolesi, like Stravinsky, enjoyed international MON fame during his lifetime. His success was partly due to his MON comic operas, but not least thanks to the impassioned music MON of his Stabat Mater, which was still widely performed after MON his death and remains as popular today. Commissioned for MON Good Friday by the monastery near Naples where he had been MON residing for his health, it was one of his last works MON before his death, aged 26.

MON MON Matthew also reviews the new Martin Scorsese film, Shutter MON Island, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. It tells the story of MON two U.S. marshals who are summoned to a remote and barren MON island off the cost of Massachusetts to investigate the MON mysterious disappearance of a murderess from the island's MON fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane.

In her essay, 'Out of the MON Marvellous', recorded on the rocks, in a tarry old MON fisherman's hut and the ruins of an ancient headland MON chapel, she reveals how the meeting of land and sea and sky MON has shaped the way of life of a community, and her own way MON of seeing and artistic creation. MON MON 23:15 Jazz on 3 b00r89rd (Listen) MON Matthew Shipp and John Butcher MON MON Jez Nelson presents a transatlantic collaboration between MON two leading lights of avant-garde jazz and improvised MON music: New York pianist Matthew Shipp and London based MON reeds player John Butcher. Recorded during Shipp's MON residency at East London's Café Oto, both musicians will MON play solo before coming together for a highly anticipated MON meeting of musical minds. MON MON Matthew Shipp made his name as part of David S Ware's MON Quartet in the 1990's, before going on to release a series MON of celebrated albums under his own name featuring musicians MON such as William Parker and Roscoe Mitchell. John Butcher's MON playing is grounded in the history of British free MON improvisation. Taking elements of Evan Parker's technique MON and Derek Bailey's philosophy, Butcher has forged his own MON sound favouring complex overtones and electronic MON manipulation.

Howard Shelley directs the TUE Sinfonia Varsovia and is the pianist in a piano concerto by TUE Dobrzynski, one of Chopin's classmates at the Warsaw TUE Conservatory. Then Jan Lisiecki joins the orchestra as TUE soloist in music by Chopin himself; his Piano Concerto TUE no.1.

TUE TUE 17:00 In Tune b00r89z9 (Listen) TUE TUE 19:00 Performance on 3 b00r89zm (Listen) TUE Ulster Orchestra/Walker TUE TUE The Ulster Orchestra performs a programme full of colour and TUE vitality with the conductor Garry Walker. Charm, grace and TUE lightness of touch inform Ravel's Le tombeau de Couperin, a TUE tribute both to the great masters of the French Baroque and TUE to his friends who died in the First World War. These dance TUE movements are exquisitely orchestrated from his earlier TUE piano suite. TUE TUE The visionary and highly original prose poems of the French TUE poet Rimbaud inspired an equally fantastical response from TUE the young Britten. The hallucinatory, dreamlike quality of TUE Rimbaud's Les illuminations challenged Britten to create TUE sparkling textures and shifting harmonies for string TUE orchestra, with the texts to be sung by either a tenor or TUE soprano. In this concert the orchestra are joined by TUE Elizabeth Watts. TUE TUE Dvorak's Sixth Symphony rounds off the programme. It is a TUE delightful work, full of light orchestral sonorities and TUE free-flowing melodies, suffused with Bohemian folksong and TUE dance tunes. TUE TUE Ravel: Le tombeau de Couperin TUE Britten: Les illuminations TUE Dvorak: Symphony no.6 TUE TUE Elizabeth Watts (soprano) TUE Ulster Orchestra TUE conductor Garry Walker TUE TUE Followed by a focus on Baroque and Baroque-inspired organ TUE music from the BBC Archive and European recitals, TUE including: TUE TUE Hindemith: Sonata no.2 TUE David Sanger (organ.

The sea and sky were fascinating, and dangerous, TUE and the land fractured, revealing remants of earlier TUE creations and their stories. Out of these the poet was TUE himself made. Hooker considers other poets of the south TUE country -Tennyson, whose memorial he could see on the TUE Island, and Thomas Hardy. Their poetry has a Victorian TUE melancholy which he resists in his own. He contrasts the TUE meeting of land and sea and sky he knew as a boy with that TUE in west Wales, where storms shifted the furniture in his TUE seafront room. And for Hooker the meeting of land and sea TUE and sky, its shifting, its re-arranging and it rhythms TUE provides an example, a poetic discipline.

THU THU 2.00pm THU Chopin: Andante spianato and Grande Polonaise brillante THU Op.22 THU Schubert: Impromptu D.935'3 THU Emanuel Ax (piano) THU THU 2.30pm THU Schumann: Scenes from Goethe's Faust THU Dietrich Henschel; Faust, Dr. Marianus, Pater Seraphicus THU (bass) THU Marlis Petersen; Gretchen, Not, Una Poenitentium (soprano) THU Yorck Felix Speer; Mephistopheles, Böser Geist, Pater THU Profundus (bass) THU Ruth Ziesak; Sorge, Magna Peccatrix (soprano) THU Gerhild Romberger; Mangel, Mater Gloriosa, Mulier Samaritana THU (alto) THU Christian Elsner; Ariel, Pater Ecstaticus (tenor) THU Sofi Lorentzen; Martha, Schuld, Maria Aegyptiaca (alto) THU RIAS Chamber Chorus THU Berlin Academy for Early Music THU Hans-Christoph Rademann (director) THU THU 4.20pm THU Shostakovich: 24 Preludes THU Alexei Volodin (piano). THU THU 17:00 In Tune b00r8cmg (Listen) THU THU 19:00 Performance on 3 b00r8cmj (Listen) THU OAE/Fischer THU THU The OAE performs part of its Beethoven Symphony Cycle, which THU continues throughout the year. For tonight's concert the THU period instrument ensemble are led by the Hungarian THU conductor, Ivan Fischer, known for his electrifying and THU energetic performances. THU THU Beethoven's second Symphony overflows with humour and THU vitality, even though he was struggling with his increasing THU deafness at the time. Some of his contemporaries found it a THU challenge, but today with the benefit of hindsight it can THU be seen as forward-looking whilst also acknowledging its THU classical Viennese heritage. THU THU With the now-famous 'Eroica' symphony Beethoven really was THU breaking new ground. However much it owes to his initial THU admiration of Napoleon, Beethoven was writing on a THU grandiose scale, injecting the work with a sense of heroic THU breadth and drama. THU THU Before each symphony, writer and broadcaster John Suchet THU reads extracts from his fictionalised biography of THU Beethoven - 'The Last Master' - which illuminate THU Beethoven's life at the time of their composition. THU THU Beethoven: Symphony no.2 in D THU Beethoven: Symphony no.3 in E flat 'Eroica' THU THU Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment THU conductor Ivan Fischer THU THU Followed by a focus on Baroque and Baroque-inspired organ THU music from the BBC Archive and European recitals, THU including: THU THU Bach: Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV.582 THU Susan Landale (organ).

THU THU 22:00 Composer of the Week b00r8clh (Listen) THU [Repeat of broadcast at 12:00 today] THU THU 23:00 The Essay b00r8cn9 (Listen) THU Land and Sea and Sky, Episode 4 THU THU Michael Bird writes books about the visual arts, so St Ives THU is a good place to be. In his essay he explores how the THU constant transformations of what he sees, the land in the THU light, the weather, the breaking waves, even the people, THU have a rejuvenating, inspirational impact on him. Bird's THU essay was recorded in the streets leading down to the THU water, on Porthmeor Beach, on the cliff path leading to THU Land's End, along the run he takes to focus his thoughts. THU Unusually, but importantly, for a writer, he lives where THU the visual rather than the verbal, takes precedence. In St THU Ives one sees, then writes, rather than the other way THU around. And Michael Bird puzzles on his personal jouney, on THU how he came to be living in the far southwest, where land THU and sea and sky meet so dramatically. THU THU 23:15 Late Junction b00r8cnr (Listen) THU Fiona Talkington presents a Late Junction Session featuring THU a collaboration between Norwegian experimental guitarist THU Stian Westerhus and Indian vocalist Swati Natekar.

FRI FRI While Stravinsky was still living in Europe, he received a FRI commission from America for a chamber work, which became FRI his Bach-inspired concerto, Dumbarton Oaks. Another FRI composer looking to the USA was the young Benjamin Britten, FRI who wrote his piano concerto the year before his American FRI sojourn, and it is a work full of directness, agitation and FRI intensity of expression. Britten was the soloist at the FRI premiere, and tonight Steven Osborne takes the solo role in FRI a work for which he has already received critical acclaim. FRI FRI Stravinsky: Concerto in E flat 'Dumbarton Oaks' FRI Britten: Piano Concerto FRI FRI Steven Osborne (piano) FRI BBC Philharmonic FRI conductor Ludovic Morlot. FRI FRI 19:50 Twenty Minutes b00r9t49 (Listen) FRI Seadrift FRI FRI Artist and film-maker Jane Darke reflects on the flotsam and FRI jetsam of the shipping lanes that gets washed up at the FRI bottom of her garden in north Cornwall. FRI FRI Until his death in 2005, Jane shared her cove-side home with FRI her playwright husband Nick. Together they scoured the FRI tideline for 'wreck', that drift of wood, marker-buoys, FRI lobsterpot tags, shoes and fishing nets, 'seabeans' - huge FRI seedpods from the Amazon basin - and coal that the Gulf FRI Stream regularly deposits on the Cornish coast in FRI particular. FRI FRI But for the Darkes, 'wreck' wasn't just common-or-garden FRI driftwood; it was a seaborne crop to be harvested, stored FRI and above all used. Their home is part-constructed from FRI timber rescued from the sea-edge; bookshelves are crazed FRI and seasoned planks from some freighter whose deck-cargo FRI shifted catastrophically years ago, and the outside of the FRI house is gaudy with floats and pennons, markers and FRI half-legible noticeboards carried across the Atlantic from FRI distant harbours and sea-reaches. Currents circulate such FRI 'wreck' around the world, sometimes for years, before FRI landfall brings these distantly transmitted 'messages' to FRI their surprised recipients on the Cornish coast. FRI FRI Nick Darke, actor, playwright and lobster-fisherman died FRI suddenly in 2005 and since then his widow Jane has FRI continued to add to their collection. In this programme, FRI Jane reflects in her home on currents and the chance nature FRI of what the tides of life bring to shore.... FRI FRI 20:10 Performance on 3 b00r9t50 (Listen) FRI Stravinsky, Britten, Sibelius, Debussy, Part 2 FRI FRI Two nautical works follow. The fluidity of Debussy's score FRI is a tribute to the infinite variation of the waves, while FRI Sibelius, writing to an American commission like FRI Stravinsky, conjurs up a mysterious mythological underwater FRI world. FRI FRI Sibelius: The Oceanides, Op.73 FRI Debussy: La mer FRI FRI BBC Philharmonic FRI conductor Ludovic Morlot. FRI FRI 21:15 The Verb b00r8csc (Listen) FRI Ross Sutherland FRI FRI Ian McMillan presents a special live edition of Radio 3's FRI cabaret of the word from the Radio Theatre in Broadcasting FRI House, with guests including poet and performer Ross FRI Sutherland... FRI FRI 22:00 Composer of the Week b00r8cq9 (Listen) FRI [Repeat of broadcast at 12:00 today] FRI FRI 23:00 The Essay b00r8ct0 (Listen) FRI Land and Sea and Sky, Episode 5 FRI FRI Chris Wood has won awards for his songwriting and his FRI performance, such as BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year, FRI 2009. He is much concerned with English identity and our FRI relationship with the land (his album 'Trespasser' is a FRI musical examination of enclosure as a continuing affront). FRI Exploring such themes Wood draws on the ancient FRI storytelling of traditional song, engages with our very FRI nature in 'Turtle Song' - a new song written for the recent FRI Darwin anniversary - and place (there's even a song about FRI his allotment). He has always lived in Faversham and FRI recorded on location here in Kent's creek, mudflat region, FRI his essay explores how the sea snaking far inland the vast FRI sky and the Dickensian marshes have all shaped his FRI sensibility and concerns. FRI FRI 23:15 World on 3 b00r8ctn (Listen) FRI Lopa Kothari introduces a session by the British-Asian FRI singer Susheela Raman. Plus all the latest sounds from FRI around the world. Producer James Parkin. FRI FRI Susheela Raman is one of the leading artists and the FRI pre-eminent vocalist to emerge from the Asian Diaspora. FRI Born in the UK to Tamil parents, Raman aims to push musical FRI and cultural barriers, finding new connections between FRI India, Europe, Africa and the world. FRI With her artistic partner and husband Sam Mills, Raman FRI released her first album - Salt Rain - in 2001 on Narada, FRI an American subsidiary of EMI. It went gold in France and FRI in the UK was shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize. She FRI also won the Best Newcomer award from BBC Radio 3. In 2003 FRI she released her second album Love Trap which featured FRI amongst other collaborators the Nigerian drummer Tony Allen FRI and Tuvan singer Albert Kuvezin of the group Yat-Kha.
