He SAT one of the world’s most sought after conductors and is SAT currently preparing to conduct Don Giovanni at Glyndebourne. SAT SAT He talks to Tom about his desire to restore the shocks and SAT strangeness of Mozart’s music and Da Ponte’s drama, and how SAT he deals with the postmodern schizophrenia of the score. But SAT if, as Jurowski says, it is music that takes over if you’re SAT lucky enough to conduct it, does that mean he becomes Don SAT Giovanni when he’s conducting it? SAT SAT Cosima Wagner SAT SAT Cosima Wagner - illegitimate daughter of Franz Liszt, wife SAT of the conductor Hans von Bülow, then mistress and SAT subsequently wife of Richard Wagner. After Wagner’s death in SAT 1883 Cosima played a crucial role in the promulgation and SAT politicisation of his works, assuming control of the SAT Bayreuth Festival and transforming it into a shrine to SAT German nationalism. In a new book published by Yale, Olver SAT Hilmes looks at the High Priestess of the Wagnerian cult, SAT who lived on for almost fifty years, crafting the image of SAT Richard Wagner through her organisational ability and SAT ideological tenacity. SAT SAT I Was Looking at the Ceiling... SAT SAT An “Earth-quake romance” hits Theatre Royal, Stratford East SAT this week. Taking its title from a quote by a survivor of SAT the 1994 earthquake in Northridge, California, the acclaimed SAT ‘I Was Looking at the Ceiling and then I Saw the Sky’ by SAT John Adams explores the lives of seven inner-city young SAT people living on the West Coast of America. SAT SAT Tom visits rehearsals for The Barbican and Theatre Royal, SAT Stratford East’s new production, with a talented young cast SAT from a variety of musical backgrounds, and speaks to SAT Director Michael Xia and Music Director Clark Rundell about SAT reclaiming Adams’ opera/musical/earthquake-pastoral for SAT audiences today. SAT SAT Music from the Genome SAT SAT Allele, a new 40 part unaccompanied choral work in which the SAT New London Chamber Choir sing parts derived directly from SAT their own genetic code, will receive its premiere in Oxford SAT next week. Genetic information from a DNA sample of each SAT singer was used to create their individual part, focussing SAT on fragments of variations between the singers. SAT SAT Tom talks to composer Michael Zev Gordon, geneticist Andrew SAT Morley and poet Ruth Padel about their creative response to SAT cutting edge genetics and hearing what your DNA sounds like. SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b00sw925 (Listen) SAT Edward III SAT SAT Lucie Skeaping looks back on Edward III's 14th Century SAT England with historian Ian Mortimer, focusing on the SAT nation's life and musical culture. SAT SAT Edward III can be seen as a defining monarch in the history SAT of the nation. After the disastrous reign of his father SAT Edward II, he rebuilt the nation's confidence modelling his SAT monarchy on the chivalric sensibilities of the legendary SAT Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. The Hundred Years SAT War began with Edward; he undertook a huge programme of SAT castle building; and besides many other things, established SAT the Order of the Garter. This was the age when the English SAT language started to become the nation's lingua franca; it is SAT the age of The Green Knight; Piers Plowman; and Geoffrey SAT Chaucer. SAT SAT Lucie meets historian Ian Mortimer, an authority of the 14th SAT century and Edward's biographer, to learn more about this SAT period, and she reflects on the Englishness of the music of SAT his age.

Schumann's SAT Fantasy was written during an enforced separation from his SAT beloved Clara Wieck, a virtuoso pianist whose father was SAT vehemently opposed to their relationship. Schumann wrote to SAT her that 'the first movement [of the Fantasy] is the most SAT passionate I have ever composed; it is a profound lament on SAT your account'.

SAT SAT Tamerlano, the legendary Tartar warlord, boasts of having SAT conquered the proud Turkish Sultan Bajazet, now in prison. SAT When the conqueror spurns Irene, his betrothed princess, for SAT Asteria, the Sultan's daughter, he seals Bajazet's fate as SAT he commits suicide, in one of Handel's most famous scenes. SAT In the end, enlightenment prevails and Tamerlano, in typical SAT opera seria fashion, repents from his bad deeds and takes SAT Irene back, setting in motion a happy ending of sorts. SAT SAT This cast is lead by the Dutch mezzo-soprano Christianne SAT Stotijn making her debut as the ruthless conqueror, Emperor SAT of the Tartars; the American tenor Kurt Streit as the SAT defeated Turkish Sultan Bajazet; the German soprano SAT Christine Schaefer as his daughter Asteria, and the Italian SAT contralto Sara Mingardo as her lover Andronico. Princess SAT Irene is the Croatian soprano Renata Pokupic. Ivor Bolton SAT conducts a period ensemble, the Orchestra of the Age of SAT Enlightenment.

Born into a working-class SUN Methodist family in Rugby, she grew up with a strong sense SUN of the values of community and of helping other people, and SUN after studying at Cambridge and Wisconsin Universities she SUN decided to make a career in international development. She SUN worked first on the Science and Heath programme in the USA, SUN then for the NHS and the World Health Organization, before SUN becoming in 2001 the first woman to take the helm at Oxfam, SUN one of the UK's best-known international development SUN charities. SUN SUN Music has always been a passion. She learnt the piano at SUN school, where she first sang in Bach's B minor Mass (her SUN first choice), and then discovered opera while studying at SUN Cambridge. Today her love of opera is represented by an aria SUN from Mozart's 'Marriage of Figaro', while Mozart features SUN again with his last piano concerto, No.27 in B flat, played SUN by Daniel Barenboim, who Barbara Stocking greatly admires SUN for his work in the Middle East. The beautiful Notturno from SUN Borodin's Second String Quartet reminds her of early dates SUN with her husband, when they often went to chamber music SUN concerts, while the importance of countries such as Africa SUN and Latin America in her life is represented by the South SUN African national anthem sung by women of the Calabash; SUN Agustin Lara's 'Granada', sung by Jose Carreras at the SUN famous Three Tenors concert at the 1990 World Cup, and SUN finally music by Juan Luis Guerra, an artist she discovered SUN recently in the Dominican Republic after visiting SUN post-earthquake Haiti.

The ensemble - founded by the SUN countertenor David Bates in 2007 - comprises some of SUN Europe's finest early music specialists who share a common SUN desire to shed new light on standard repertoire and bring SUN neglected gems to the fore. This concert features music by SUN Giovanni Gabrieli & Heinrich Schütz. SUN SUN Schütz's sacred output is magnificent in sheer volume and SUN invention. His work in Italy culminates in his Sinfoniae SUN Sacrae III of 1650, in which his mastery of instrumental SUN writing, his attention to word painting and seeming SUN obsession with sonority and texture reaches unsurpassed SUN heights. They contrast these massive works with some of SUN Schütz's most intimate and tender motets from his Kleine SUN Geistliche Konzerte along with the greatest instrumental and SUN polychoral music from his Venetian music-master, Giovanni SUN Gabrieli.

SUN SUN 21:30 Sunday Feature b00swh1g (Listen) SUN Looking for Leonora SUN SUN As a young woman, Leonora Carrington fell in love with SUN surrealism. She also fell in love with Max Ernst, went to SUN France and met Picasso, Dali and some of the twentieth SUN century's greatest artists. She fled war-torn Europe and SUN after a breakdown, ended up in an asylum. She has spent the SUN past seventy years in Mexico, where she is now considered SUN one of the country's greatest living artists. SUN SUN Joanna Moorhead travels to Mexico and finds an extraordinary SUN woman, who was estranged from her own, and Joanna's family. SUN A rebellious debutante, she knew Diego Rivera and Frida SUN Kahlo yet found herself at the centre of a vibrant artistic SUN European emigre community. She still speaks with a cut-glass SUN Edwardian accent. SUN SUN Joanna visits Leonora's childhood home in Lancashire to SUN discover what propelled her into the life of an artist. She SUN talks to friends about the years post-war and pieces SUN together the events that affected Leonora after Mexico's SUN 1968 student massacre. SUN SUN In recent years, the acknowledgement of work by women SUN artists like Leonora Carrington, has forced a reappraisal of SUN the surrealist movement. At 93, Leonora looks backs at her SUN remarkable life. SUN SUN 22:15 Words and Music b00swh1j (Listen) SUN Clowns SUN SUN Clowns, hiding behind masks, are mysterious constructs that SUN evoke an array of emotions: from laughter to tears, SUN happiness to fear, and wonder to pity. Clowns are seen as SUN solitary, innocent, terrifying, malevolent and sometimes SUN even evil. SUN SUN On the first Sunday of every February, the National Clowns’ SUN Church (Holy Trinity Church in Dalston, East London) hosts SUN Clowns International for their annual service to celebrate SUN the life of Joseph Grimaldi, considered to the most famous SUN English Clown. The parade of clowns in their SUN brightly-coloured costumes and many guises attracts a crowd, SUN particularly of children. SUN SUN This edition of Words and Music begins with a homage to SUN Joseph Grimaldi that is inspired by the annual service in SUN Dalston. Alison Steadman and Andrew Sachs read stanzas SUN from an ode to Grimaldi by Thomas Hood over Stravinsky’s SUN Circus Polka arranged for organ. SUN SUN Then enter an array of other clowns: Verlaine's Parisian SUN circus clown, the foolish country clowns of John Clare and SUN Henry Parrot, Simon Armitage's Clown Punk, Shel SUN Silverstein's tearful, unfunny 'Cloony the Clown', Eve SUN Merriem’s Veep – Vice President – clown from the Nixon Poems SUN and Heinrich Boll's naive clown in the confusion of post-war SUN Germany. SUN SUN The traditional figures of the Commedia dell'Arte - Pierrot, SUN Harlequin, Columbine and Pantalon - also begin to emerge SUN from the beginning of the programme and are characterized in SUN Schumann's Carnaval, Op.9. Accompanying each of Schumann’s SUN characterization is an Aesop fable in which the idea of a SUN ‘clown’ as foolish is used to relay morals. The Commedia SUN dell’Arte figures are also characterized by Bantock in his SUN Pierrot of the Minute, Reger’s Pierrot and Pierrette, plus SUN Telemann's Columbine from Ouverture Burlesque. SUN SUN In the middle of the programme, the 'Clowns' Prayer' SUN recreates the central part of the Grimaldi Service and is SUN accompanied by Britten's Village Organist's Piece. The SUN darker side of clowns is then revealed through Stephen SUN King's 'It' with Respighi's horrifying depiction of death in SUN the Roman circus (Feste romane), Shakespeare's clown SUN gravediggers from Hamlet, who joke morbidly over Charlie SUN Chaplin's 'Clown's Last Crazy Act', and Betsy Sholl's SUN ghostly 'saddest man in the world'.

MON MON 12:00 Composer of the Week b00swh4q (Listen) MON Gustav Mahler (1860-1911), Episode 1 MON MON In the beginning, before the anguish, the failing health, MON before even meeting his beloved Alma, Gustav Mahler had been MON happy - in his way... MON MON In this week's Composer Of The Week, Donald Macleod explores MON Mahler's early years - from his humble birth in the Bohemian MON backwater of Kaliste to his triumphant installation as MON Director of the Vienna Opera at the age of 37. MON MON Mahler's early years are often skipped over by biographers MON keen to feast on the juicy details of his tempestuous last MON decade...yet it was in this formative period that the MON composer wrote some of his very finest works, including his MON gargantuan, brilliantly original first four symphonies and a MON veritable plethora of solo songs. MON MON Linking this week's episodes is a focus on the influence of MON "Des Knaben Wunderhorn" - an anthology of German folk poetry MON collected by Gottfried von Arnim and Clemens Brentano that MON obsessed Mahler throughout his youth. Donald Macleod MON introduces a host of songs written to texts from the MON anthology, including all ten set by the composer in his MON collection entitled "Lieder aus 'Des Knaben Wunderhorn'" - MON as well as a number of rare early songs inspired by the poems. MON MON Donald Macleod also explores the voluminous textual and MON musical links between Mahler's symphonies and the Wunderhorn MON poetry; we'll hear extended excerpts from the first three, MON and on Friday a complete performance of the apotheosis of MON his early period, his serene Fourth Symphony. MON MON In the first of this week's exploration of Mahler's MON "Wunderhorn" period, Donald Macleod looks at the composer's MON childhood and earliest works, including a rare Piano Quartet MON movement, and his extraordinary cantata "Das Klagende Lied".

MON MON 21:15 Night Waves b00swhbk (Listen) MON Sylvia Earle MON MON Matthew Sweet meets one of the world's best known and MON respected oceanographers, Dr. Sylvia Earle. A former chief MON scientist of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric MON Administration, Dr Earle has taken part in more than half a MON century of ocean exploration. She came to worldwide fame in MON the 1970s, when she led the first team of women aquanauts to MON live in an enclosed habitat on the ocean floor, and she MON continues to hold the record for solo diving to a depth of MON 1,000 metres. In addition to her continuing underwater MON exploration, Dr Earle is vocal on the role the oceans play MON in maintaining life on the planet - including one tiny MON photosynthetic organism that is estimated to provide the MON oxygen in "one in every five breaths we take" - and she MON advocates the creation of marine protected zones across the MON globe. She talks to Matthew Sweet about her life, her work MON as a marine scientist, and what she describes as "the MON greatest era of planetary exploration in all of human history". MON MON Producer: Lisa Davis. MON MON 22:00 Composer of the Week b00swh4q (Listen) MON [Repeat of broadcast at 12:00 today] MON MON 23:00 The Essay b00jdj0n (Listen) MON A Good Death, Mary Beard MON MON Death is the one subject we shy away from, and in our MON frantic obsession with prolonging our lives, the notion of MON 'a good death' seems to have lost its relevance. Yet 'the MON art of dying' has been a defining notion throughout history. MON Mary Beard, Professor of Classics at Cambridge, explains how MON the Romans and Greeks approached death and asks whether MON scenes of showmanship, famous last words, and stoical MON endings really can help us when we come to face our own MON inevitable demise. MON MON In these five frank and powerful essays, writers and MON thinkers ponder the art of dying, and confront taboos around MON death. They will look at what makes a 'good death' today - MON is it merely having lived a good life, or is there something MON intrinsically important in dying well? And, now that our MON deaths tend to occur in the sterile surroundings of a MON hospital ward rather than at home surrounded by those we MON love, they will reflect on how this distancing from death, MON and loss of control over our demise, has changed our MON relationship with dying. With references to the portrayal of MON death in literature, history and religion, as well as MON personal reflections on hopes and expectations of death, MON these essays will give five very different perspectives on MON the art of dying. MON MON 23:15 Jazz on 3 b00swhc2 (Listen) MON Sophia Domancich & Donkey Monkey MON MON Jez Nelson presents a double bill of French jazz: the Sophia MON Domancich trio, which features the American rhythm section MON of William Parker and Hamid Drake, plus duo Donkey Monkey. MON Both were recorded during the Partager festival that took MON place at London's King's Place in May 2010. MON MON Pianist Sophia Domancich is a key member of the French MON improvised music scene, and in 1999 was the first female MON recipient of the French Musician of the Year award from the MON Academie du Jazz. She has also been closely associated with MON musicians from the UK's Canterbury Scene since the mid 80s, MON when she began playing with drummer Pip Pyle, bassist Hugh MON Hopper and saxophonist Elton Dean. For this concert she's MON joined by the formidable, and much in demand, percussionist MON Hamid Drake and double bassist William Parker, both from New MON York.

Yet, the TUE art of dying has been a defining notion throughout history. TUE In this throught-provoking essay distinguished writer Beryl TUE Bainbridge looks back at how the notion of death has TUE overshadowed her own life, from her wartime childhood to her TUE adult brush with death, and reveals her hopes and TUE expectations for her own demise. TUE TUE In these five frank and powerful essays, writers and TUE thinkers ponder the art of dying, and confront taboos around TUE death. They will look at what makes a 'good death' today - TUE is it merely having lived a good life, or is there something TUE intrinsically important in dying well? And, now that our own TUE deaths tend to occur in the sterile surroundings of a TUE hospital ward, rather than at home surrounded by those we TUE love, will reflect on how this distancing from death, and TUE loss of control over our demise, has changed our TUE relationship with dying. With references to the portrayal of TUE death in literature, history and religion, as well as TUE personal reflections on hopes and expectations of death, TUE these essays will give five very different perspectives on TUE the art of dying.

Yet 'the THU art of dying' has been a defining notion throughout history. THU Rabbi Julia Neuberger, reflecting on her own work with the THU dying, looks as how those of different faiths, or no faith THU at all, approach death, and at why we should all be planning THU for the kind of death we want. THU THU In these five frank and powerful essays, writers and THU thinkers ponder the art of dying, and confront taboos around THU death.

And, now that our THU deaths tend to occur in the sterile surroundings of a THU hospital ward rather than at home, surrounded by those we THU love, will reflect on how this distancing from death, and THU loss of control over our demise, has changed our THU relationship with dying.
