SAT SAT Petroc Trelawny explores the music of innovative 20th SAT century composer Edgar Varese, he visits early music pioneer SAT Ton Koopman, and delves into the rich and largely forgotten SAT history of piano making in London. Plus Norman Lebrecht SAT shares his thoughts on a collision between high art and SAT politics. Produced by Brian Jackson. SAT SAT Ton Koopman SAT SAT On Music Matters this week Petroc Trelawny travels to SAT Amsterdam to meet harpsichordist, organist and conductor Ton SAT Koopman. SAT SAT A key player in the early music movement he launched his SAT first period ensemble in 1969. Having recorded all of the SAT Bach Cantatas he is in the midst of another massive SAT undertaking – recording the entire works of Dietrich Buxtehude. SAT SAT He talks to Petroc about the moment the early music movement SAT became mainstream and the way in which the ‘alternative’ SAT attitude of Dutch music lovers initially shaped it. And he SAT reflects on the influence his jazz musician father had on SAT his own music making. SAT SAT Varèse SAT SAT The French-born American composer Edgar Varèse left a legacy SAT of complex, innovative and influential works. Taught by SAT D’Indy and Widor, he found his musical voice when he left SAT Europe for America and sought to create a new musical SAT language utilising tape and electronics. But frustrated by SAT technological limitations he destroyed many of his works, SAT and left little more than a dozen completed pieces. SAT SAT Varese disciple and student Chou Wen-chung and composer SAT Jonathan Harvey talk to Petroc about the significance of SAT Varèse and his influence on their own musical lives. SAT SAT Norman Lebrecht on… SAT SAT With the upcoming premiere of Armenian composer Tigran SAT Mansurian’s Cello Concerto on April 24th, a day that SAT Armenians the world over mark as the start of the Turkish SAT massacres in 1915, and the recent protest at a Jerusalem SAT Quartet recital, Norman Lebrecht reflects on the delicate SAT line between music and politics. SAT SAT London Piano Makers SAT SAT Although Steinway now dominates the piano world at one time SAT London had a thriving piano manufacturing industry. In SAT Edwardian times as many as 300 companies were involved in SAT the trade, many based in North London. However firms such as SAT Collard & Collard, Brinsmead, Challen, Danemann and Welmar SAT all declined in the late twentieth century and by 2004 had SAT closed their doors for the last time. SAT SAT Petroc meets piano maker and author Alastair Laurence to SAT find out why, and talks to an octogenarian piano seller who SAT has been working in the industry since the age of 14. See SAT more pictures below. SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b00s1kt5 (Listen) SAT Clemens non Papa SAT SAT Lucie Skeaping explores the music of the 16th century SAT Flemish composer Jacobus Clemens non Papa. In the hierarchy SAT of the Flemish school, you could say that Clemens was of the SAT fourth generation - if Dufay is taken as the first, Ockeghem SAT as the second, Josquin the third, with Orlando di Lassus SAT still to come. He was one of the few successful Flemish SAT musicians not to travel to Italy, he spent his entire life SAT in Flanders, working in towns such as Bruges, Dordrecht and SAT Ypres. Also unlike most other composers of that period, SAT Clemens non Papa seems never to have been employed by the SAT church - at least not on a permanent basis. SAT It's unclear as to how Jacobus Clemens came to adopt the SAT epithet "non Papa" - in fact, it has been the subject of SAT much conjecture. The most widely accepted version is that it SAT meant "not the Pope" Clement - presumably because Pope SAT Clement VII was in the Vatican at the time. Pope Clement VII SAT died in 1534, though, so it's possible that he may have been SAT given the nickname in childhood and it simply stuck with him SAT for the rest of his life! Certainly, the Antwerp-based SAT publisher Tielman Susato, with whom he had a lucrative SAT business partnership, seemed to find the papal suffix SAT amusing! His name is much less well known now, but in the SAT late 1500s, Clemens non Papa was one of the most frequently SAT published composers of the time.

In today's recital he plays SAT Schubert's penultimate piano sonata - filled with song-like SAT melody. Before it he plays music that the Japanese composer SAT Toru Takemitsu wrote in the 1950's.

SAT SAT 21:30 Between the Ears b00s1kw9 (Listen) SAT Intensive Care SAT SAT Film director Terence Davies has often been hailed as one of SAT Britain's greatest living film-makers. His acclaimed works SAT include 'Distant Voices, Still Lives', 'The Long Day Closes' SAT and the recent BAFTA nominated 'Of Time and the City', a SAT stunning visual poem, narrated by Davies himself who wrote a SAT masterful script and displayed an untapped ability to SAT present. Inspired by 'Of Time and the City', the production SAT company Unique approached Davies after hearing of his SAT passion for radio and especially for Radio 3, and encouraged SAT him to develop his first radio feature. The result is SAT 'Intensive Care', an intensely personal memoir of his mother SAT combined with a self-portrait of an artist as a young man. SAT Davies writes and narrates this autobiographical piece which SAT covers his early years at drama and film school & the making SAT of his first film 'Children'. Threaded through this SAT narrative, Davies also describes his relationship with his SAT mother, her decline into old age and her eventual death that SAT was to have such a devastating impact on him. Terence's SAT mother is evoked in the programme by the songs he heard her SAT sing during his childhood. They have been especially SAT performed by the actress Lorraine Ashbourne who played the SAT part of Maisie in 'Distant Voices, Still Lives' and works SAT with Davies for the first time since 1988. As Davies SAT meditates on the passing of time, memory and mortality, he SAT also reads some of the poetry that has touched and inspired SAT him: Auden, Betjeman, Sassoon. The programme's soundtrack is SAT a personal selection of classical music: Shostakovich, SAT Webern, Debussy. 'Intensive Care' thus becomes a unique SAT insight into emotional and artistic life of one of Britain's SAT great auteurs.

SAT SAT SUN SUNDAY 18 APRIL 2010 SUN SUN 00:00 Jazz Library b00c5r07 (Listen) SUN Tim Berne SUN SUN Saxophonist Tim Berne has been one of the most inventive SUN saxophonists in contemporary jazz since the 1970s. At the SUN time of his 2008 Cheltenham Jazz Festival appearance, he SUN joined Alyn Shipton to select the highlights from his SUN extensive catalogue of recordings, including work by his SUN bands Miniature, Bloodcount, Big Satan, and Caos Totale. He SUN also looks at his creative partnerships on disc with such SUN other jazz stars as Bill Frisell, Paul Motian and David SUN Sanborn. SUN SUN Angry, jagged, startling, chaotic, calm, beautiful: all SUN these adjectives can spring to mind during a single Tim SUN Berne performance. Initially inspired by the openness of SUN Chicagoan AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative SUN Musicians) players, and by his teacher Julius Hemphill, SUN Berne has forged an individual path through contemporary SUN jazz. His current band Science Friction was one of the SUN highlights of the 2008 Cheltenham Jazz Festival (where it SUN played on the 10th birthday party for Jazz on 3) and after SUN its concert he met Alyn Shipton to select highlights of his SUN recorded catalogue. Alyn has known Berne since they worked SUN together on a broadcast of Hemphill's music in the early SUN 1990s, so he is particularly familiar with Tim's bands. SUN Consequently this is a joint exploration of one of the most SUN unorthodox and challenging collections of recordings so far SUN featured on the programme.

SUN SUN The son of a dean of Canterbury Cathedral, he was educated SUN at the King's School, Canterbury, where he was taught SUN pottery by Geoffrey Whiting, a disciple of Bernard Leach. SUN After leaving Cambridge, where he read English at Trinity SUN Hall, he set up a pottery on the Welsh border, making SUN inexpensive domestic pottery in Leach's Anglo-Oriental SUN style, but later on began to interpret the Oriental SUN tradition in a different way. Most of his work now consists SUN of cylindrical pots with pale celadon glazes, and he SUN specializes in installations involving groups of pots, such SUN as 'Signs and Wonders' at the Victoria & Albert Museum in SUN London, launched recently as part of their new Ceramic SUN Galleries. He has recently exhibited at Leamington Spa, and SUN at Kettle's Yard in Cambridge. An exhibition entitled 'From SUN Zero' may currently be seen at the Alan Cristea Gallery in SUN London. SUN SUN De Waal is also a writer. His books include 'Twentieth SUN Century Ceramics'; a monograph on Bernard Leach, and a SUN forthcoming memoir, 'The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden SUN Inheritance', which will be published in June 2010. SUN SUN Edmund de Waal has been passionate about music since SUN childhood. Several of his choices - sacred music by Orlando SUN Gibbons, J.S. Bach and Gesualdo - recall his formative years SUN spent near a great cathedral. There's also music he works SUN to, including Adams's 'Shaker Loops', Eno's 'This' and SUN Moby's 'Porcelain', as well as Brendel playing a Mozart SUN sonata and the Prologue and Pastoral from Britten's Serenade SUN for tenor, horn and strings.

The settings of these six poems by SUN Theophile Gautier was originally conceived to be performed SUN with piano, but Berlioz completed the orchestral versions in SUN 1856. It has now become one of his most enduring and often SUN performed works. As David Cairns explains, Berlioz is so SUN often thought to be just a composer on a grand scale, but in SUN this song-cycle he really shows a softer side, capable of SUN writing beautifully-crafted miniatures as well as for huge SUN orchestral forces. SUN The whole song-cycle is performed by soprano Elizabth Watts SUN with the Ulster Orchestra conducted by Takuo Yuasa. SUN SUN 18:30 The Choir b00s1l3c (Listen) SUN Accompanists SUN SUN Aled Jones spotlights the role of the choral accompanist - a SUN pivotal position in the choral team whether preparing a SUN choral society, supporting a church choir on the organ or SUN conjuring up the sound of an orchestra. He talks to three SUN highly experienced practioners: Sarah Baldock, Organist and SUN Master of the Choristers at Chichester Cathedral, Iain SUN Farrington, accompanist to the London Philharmonic Choir, SUN and Cardiff-based Jeffrey Howard whose career takes him from SUN the organ-loft to playing for singers 'Only Men Aloud'. SUN Together they discuss the challenges, ways to improve your SUN game, and highlight some of the finest exponents of this SUN often underappreciated job.

SUN SUN 21:35 The Lebrecht Interview b00m8q26 (Listen) SUN Stephen Hough SUN SUN The pianist Stephen Hough is regarded as one of the most SUN exciting British musicians of his generation. His career SUN takes him around the world and he has won many awards for SUN his recordings. His compositions include a Cello Concerto SUN and a Mass for Westminster Cathedral. But music is just one SUN part of his life. Hough is a Roman Catholic who converted SUN while in his teens having been brought up in a Protestant SUN family. Religion plays a major part in his life and he has SUN published one book The Bible As Prayer and numerous articles SUN on theological issues. He also regularly discusses the SUN issues of being a gay Catholic. In this interview with SUN Norman Lebrecht Stephen Hough talks about these issues and SUN about repertoire, his early life and his near death SUN experience in a car accident. SUN SUN 22:20 Words and Music b00s1l4w (Listen) SUN Finishing the Hat SUN SUN Readers are Alex Jennings and Carolyn Pickles. SUN SUN This week’s Words and Music, ‘Finishing the Hat’ explores SUN the connection between painting, poetry and music, one which SUN goes back to the Ancient Greeks and Romans. Painters, poets SUN and composers have always drawn inspiration from each other SUN - the work of early Greek painters and potters, as well as SUN showing an interest in lyric poetry, frequently depict SUN musicians and the Greek poet Simonides said ‘Painting is SUN silent poetry, and poetry painting that speaks’. In the SUN Renaissance many artists including Michelangelo wrote SUN sonnets. William Blake, Rossetti and D.H. Lawrence painted; SUN Paul Klee and Picasso wrote poetry. Messier wrote the poems SUN for his choral and vocal works as did Schoenberg. And, more SUN recently, you can see the connection in jazz. The work of SUN artists like Jackson Pollock and Matisse, attracted by the SUN improvisational quality, was greatly influenced by the jazz SUN form. The artist Kandinsky expressed it in a fascination SUN with the emotional power of music. To him it was a more SUN advanced art because it is capable of expressing spiritual SUN values. SUN In the programme you’ll hear two poems by the American poet SUN William Carlos Williams. He took the relationship between SUN painting and poetry seriously saying that he was trying to SUN find the equivalent in words what the painter achieved on SUN canvas. ‘Pictures of Breughel’ is heard alongside Walter de SUN la Mare’s ‘Breughel’s Winter’s and the Swiss composer Rene SUN Gerber’s ‘Hunters in the Snow’ from his ‘Trois Paysages de SUN Breughel’. SUN The title of the programme, ‘Finishing the Hat’, comes from SUN Stephen Sondheim and James Alpine’s ‘Sunday in the Park with SUN George’, inspired by the painting, ‘A Sunday Afternoon on SUN the Island of La Grande Jute’ by George Seurat. You’ll hear SUN this with Carol Ann Duffy’s ‘Standing Female Nude’, a SUN monologue by the disgruntled sitter – like Dot in ‘Sunday in SUN the Park’ – of a ‘great’ artist. SUN Turner had a profound influence on Debussy who called him SUN ‘the finest creator of mystery in art’ and the colours and SUN shadows in Turner’s work are echoed in Debussy’s music. The SUN critic Camille Macular said that ‘light is used in SUN Impressionist painting in the manner that a theme in music SUN is symphonically developed... the landscapes of Claude Monet SUN are in fact symphonies of luminous waves, and the music of SUN Monsieur Debussy, based not on a succession of themes but on SUN the relative values of the sounds in themselves, bears a SUN remarkable resemblance to these pictures. It is SUN Impressionism consisting of sonorous patches.’ The artists SUN and composers share the same subject matter of water and SUN sky. ‘La Mer’ can be seen as the greatest symphonic SUN Impressionist work and, with Fleur Adcock’s ‘Leaving the SUN Tate’ (the gallery which houses many works by Turner), it SUN ends the programme.

MON MON 12:00 Composer of the Week b00s1l8p (Listen) MON Franz Schubert (1797-1828), Episode 1 MON MON This prodigiously talented composer led a very full but all MON too brief life, dying at the age of just 31, in 1828. He is MON probably best known for the vast number of songs he wrote MON throughout his life - around 600 of them, including the two MON song cycles 'Die Schöne Müllerin' and 'Winterreise' plus MON some of the most popular symphonic and chamber music in the MON repertoire, such as the 'Unfinished' and 'Great C major' MON Symphonies and the 'Trout' Quintet. This week Donald Macleod MON looks at the important role the colourful individuals in MON Schubert's social circle had on him and his music, and how MON his decadent lifestyle contributed to his untimely death. MON He was an intensely prolific composer - in his 18th year MON alone he produced around 200 works. And in spite of immense MON mental and physical problems he continued to do so, writing MON some of his best-loved music in his final year. MON Schubert suffered from severe mood swings most of his adult MON life. When he was in his mid-twenties, they became far more MON extreme and his friends reported periods of dark despair and MON violent anger. It's hard to know at this distance, to what MON extent his decadent lifestyle affected his behaviour but it MON greatly increased his chances of succumbing to one of the MON major killers of the time - syphilis. From then on, his fate MON was sealed - although he had periods of remission, it MON irreparably damaged his health and if typhoid fever hadn't MON struck him down first, would undoubtedly have killed him. MON In the first programme, Donald looks at Schubert's teenage MON years when he had already developed a musical maturity well MON beyond his years, including two of his most popular Goethe MON settings, a symphony written for his friends and family to MON play and his first mass, conducted by the composer, at the MON tender age of seventeen.

These feelings are never far from the surface TUE in his Third Symphony, performed here as part of the BBC TUE Symphony Orchestra's cycle of Martinu's Symphonies with TUE Chief Conductor Jiri Belohlavek. The Symphony in Three TUE Movements was the first work Stravinsky wrote after he also TUE emigrated to America during the early years of World War II. TUE The composer himself referred to the work as his "War TUE Symphony" inspired as it was by documentary footage of TUE goose-stepping German soldiers.

High-Schools, racetracks, council TUE chambers, Central Park and housing estates - all have been TUE the subject of Wiseman's legendary and unique style of TUE film-making. His documentaries often have no voiceover, no TUE score and no clear protagonists - but they are celebrated TUE for their artistic treatment of real life. And despite the TUE commercial pressures on film, Wiseman has been able to make TUE 36 films in the last 40 years. TUE TUE Now Wiseman has turned his gaze to the life of a ballet TUE company and Anne McElvoy talks to him about his new film - TUE "La Danse" - about the work of Ballet de l'Opera National de TUE Paris.

WED WED 12:00 Composer of the Week b00s1ls9 (Listen) WED Franz Schubert (1797-1828), Episode 3 WED WED This prodigiously talented composer led a very full but all WED too brief life, dying at the age of just 31, in 1828. He is WED probably best known for the vast number of songs he wrote WED throughout his life - around 600 of them, including the two WED song cycles 'Die Schöne Müllerin' and 'Winterreise' plus WED some of the most popular symphonic and chamber music in the WED repertoire, such as the 'Unfinished' and 'Great C major' WED Symphonies and the 'Trout' Quintet. This week Donald Macleod WED looks at the important role the colourful individuals in WED Schubert's social circle had on him and his music, and how WED his decadent lifestyle contributed to his untimely death. WED He was an intensely prolific composer - in his 18th year WED alone he produced around 200 works. And in spite of immense WED mental and physical problems he continued to do so, writing WED some of his best-loved music in his final year. WED Schubert suffered from severe mood swings most of his adult WED life. When he was in his mid-twenties, they became far more WED extreme and his friends reported periods of dark despair and WED violent anger. It's hard to know at this distance, to what WED extent his decadent lifestyle affected his behaviour but it WED greatly increased his chances of succumbing to one of the WED major killers of the time - syphilis. From then on, his fate WED was sealed - although he had periods of remission, it WED irreparably damaged his health and if typhoid fever hadn't WED struck him down first, would undoubtedly have killed him. WED Today, Donald Macleod introduces two works which reflect the WED polar extremes of Schubert's temperament, written at time WED when his mental health began to deteriorate.

THU THU Faust remains Charles Gounod's best-known work, and although THU it took some time to achieve renown, it has become one of THU the most frequently staged operas in the repertory. Based on THU a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carre, the drama THU unfolds over five acts, in which Faust sells his soul to THU Mephistopheles in exchange for a renewal of his youth and THU passion - a pact that has tragic consequences for him and THU for the young girl, Marguerite, with whom he falls in love. THU First staged at the Paris Theatre Lyrique on 19th March THU 1859, it's very different to the other operas being written THU at the time. After hearing the work, Saint-Saens described THU it as "simplicity which attains to the highest consummation THU of art."

FRI FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week b00s1m8j (Listen) FRI Franz Schubert (1797-1828), Episode 5 FRI FRI This prodigiously talented composer led a very full but all FRI too brief life, dying at the age of just 31, in 1828. He is FRI probably best known for the vast number of songs he wrote FRI throughout his life - around 600 of them, including the two FRI song cycles 'Die Schöne Müllerin' and 'Winterreise' plus FRI some of the most popular symphonic and chamber music in the FRI repertoire, such as the 'Unfinished' and 'Great C major' FRI Symphonies and the 'Trout' Quintet. This week Donald Macleod FRI looks at the important role the colourful individuals in FRI Schubert's social circle had on him and his music, and how FRI his decadent lifestyle contributed to his untimely death. FRI He was an intensely prolific composer - in his 18th year FRI alone he produced around 200 works. And in spite of immense FRI mental and physical problems he continued to do so, writing FRI some of his best-loved music in his final year. FRI Schubert suffered from severe mood swings most of his adult FRI life. When he was in his mid-twenties, they became far more FRI extreme and his friends reported periods of dark despair and FRI violent anger. It's hard to know at this distance, to what FRI extent his decadent lifestyle affected his behaviour but it FRI greatly increased his chances of succumbing to one of the FRI major killers of the time - syphilis. From then on, his fate FRI was sealed - although he had periods of remission, it FRI irreparably damaged his health and if typhoid fever hadn't FRI struck him down first, would undoubtedly have killed him. FRI Donald Macleod introduces music from those final years FRI including part of the intensely felt song-cycle Die FRI Winterreise, the bright and breezy Shepherd on the Rock and FRI the brilliant finale of his last symphony. FRI FRI 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert b00s1m95 (Listen) FRI Radio 3 New Generation Artists, Performances by FRI Francesco Piemontesi, Tai Murray and FRI Mahan Esfahani, Pavel Haas Quartet FRI FRI Now entering its second decade, the Radio 3 New Generation FRI Artist scheme exists to provide concert and recording FRI opportunites to some of the world's finest younger FRI musicians. The scheme's alumni include such major names as FRI Paul Lewis, Alice Coote, Janine Jansen and the Belcea and FRI Jerusalem string quartets. FRI FRI In the last of four lunchtime programmes this week featuring FRI studio and concert performances by current Radio 3 New FRI Generation Artists, Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi FRI performs Haydn's F minor Variations, American violinist and FRI Iranian-born harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani team up for a FRI sonata by Corelli, and the Pavel Haas Quartet from Prague FRI play Smetana's First String Quartet 'From my Life' FRI FRI Haydn: Variations in F minor, Hob.XVII:6 FRI Francesco Piemontesi (piano) FRI FRI Corelli: Violin Sonata in B flat major, Op. 5 No. 2 FRI Tai Murray (violin), Mahan Esfahani (harpsichord) FRI FRI Smetana: String Quartet No. 1 in E minor, 'From my life' FRI Pavel Haas Quartet. FRI FRI 14:00 Afternoon on 3 b00s1m9k (Listen) FRI Composer-Conductor-Performers, Episode 4 FRI FRI Across the centuries leading musicians, at home and abroad, FRI have demonstrated their versatility in fulfilling dual roles FRI as composers-conductors, conductor-performers or FRI performer-composers with great success. In today's Afternoon FRI on 3, Louise Fryer celebrates the accomplishments of figures FRI who have met these criteria, including Eric Coates, Benjamin FRI Britten and Richard Strauss, together with the contemporary FRI Scottish composer-conductor James MacMillan. Featuring BBC FRI Performing Group recordings.

FRI FRI 17:00 In Tune b00s1mdn (Listen) FRI FRI 19:00 Performance on 3 b00s1mdq (Listen) FRI Widmann, Rachmaninov, Shostakovich, Episode 1 FRI FRI Jörg Widmann ranks among the finest composers of his FRI generation and in this revised version of 'Lied' he builds a FRI colossal Mahlerian orchestral work around fleeting traces of FRI Schubert melodies. Heightened romanticism is also evident in FRI Rachaminov's rhapsody for piano and orchestra based on FRI Paganini's famous 24th Caprice. The concert ends with FRI Shostakovich's wartime Eighth Symphony, which although was FRI not the upbeat propaganda work the Soviet authorities had FRI hoped for, it is one of the composers most hard-hitting and FRI monumental. FRI FRI Jorg Widmann - Lied FRI Rachmaninov - Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini FRI FRI Stephen Hough (piano) FRI BBC Symphony Orchestra FRI Lawrence Renes (conductor). FRI FRI 19:55 Twenty Minutes b00s1ml2 (Listen) FRI I'm Sorry I Killed Your Fish FRI FRI Shostakovich's Fifth symphony was published with the tag "A FRI Soviet artist's reply to justified criticism," and was FRI widely seen as an apology to Stalin authorities for his FRI opera Lady Macbeth. Russian apologies are very different FRI from English ones. Overwhelmingly the most common way for a FRI Russian to apologise is to say "forgive me": a formulation FRI that demands forgiveness from the listener. English FRI apologies, by contrast, almost always use the word "sorry": FRI a word full of ambiguity since it expresses regret but not FRI necessarily culpability. FRI FRI The ambiguity has frequently been exploited by Anglo-Saxon FRI politicians who have apparently apologised for historic FRI wrongs which they were not responsible for. FRI FRI Poles use the formula: "I apologise" - what linguists call a FRI "a performative" - which is situated somewhere between the FRI English and Russian formula. Eva Ogiermann from Portsmouth FRI University is a Polish linguist, fluent in all three FRI languages; she has carried out extensive research in how FRI people apologise in the three languages. In one scenario she FRI asked people how they would apologise for letting a FRI neighbour's pet fish die while supposedly looking after FRI them. A typical British apology is "Some of your fish died FRI while you were away. I fed them an everything but turned up FRI one day and some had died" (admitting facts but denying FRI responsibility) or when accepting blame only using careful FRI formulation such as "I think I might not have fed them FRI properly". Russians and Poles would tend to the more florid, FRI such as "I neglected your fish. I know now that there is FRI nothing to be done", or "I have not lived up to your trust". FRI FRI Using many other scenarios, not just fish, Eva Ogiermann FRI constructs a complete typology of apology, and argues that FRI the differences are more than linguistic - they reflect FRI different notions of politeness in the respective cultures. FRI The British emphasise "negative politeness" - not FRI encroaching on someone else's space. Russians are far more FRI interested in "positive politeness" - making the hearer feel FRI good about themselves.

FRI Producer Roger Short FRI FRI Juldeh is a virtuoso of the one-stringed fiddle, the ritti, FRI having been taught in the Gambia by his father. His FRI collaboration with Justin Adams dates from 2007, and was an FRI instant success, winning a prize in the 2008 Radio 3 Awards FRI for World Music. Justin Adams started out playing electric FRI guitar in bands with bassist Jah Wobble and also singer FRI Robert Plant, and has developed a guitar sound and style FRI influenced equally by American blues and African traditions. FRI They see their Trance Sessions as having 'an African sense FRI of time and structure' - musical ideas which evolve slowly, FRI unfettered by the time restrictions of the classic pop FRI record format.
