The SAT programme starts with two contrasting original works for the SAT instrument - a small-scale chorale prelude based on the SAT Advent hymn "Sleepers Wake", preceded by the great SAT Passacaglia in C minor: twenty-one variations and a fugue SAT founded on a repeated bass line. Three pieces demonstrate SAT the organ's traditional role playing transcriptions of SAT orchestral works - a role extending back to Bach's own day - SAT including the cantata movement 'Sheep may safely graze', and SAT David Briggs's own arrangement of the best known of Bach's SAT orchestral suites, including the popular 'Air on the G SAT String'.

SAT SAT This "composed feature" by Nina Perry (whose previous BBC SAT productions include the acclaimed Sounding Post and Mirror, SAT Mirror) explores the icy landscapes of Greenland, Iceland SAT and the Highlands of Scotland through recordings of SAT environmental sounds, interviews with people going about SAT their day to day lives and gathered music that expresses SAT cultural and emotional connections to the weather. SAT SAT The winter thaw into spring is a time most often associated SAT with renewal and hope, yet paradoxically in light of climate SAT change melting ice has taken on the more ominous connotation SAT of disappearing ice mass and rising sea levels. SAT SAT Among the voices heard are an Icelandic writer, a SAT Greenlandic fisherman, a drama therapist for whom an ice SAT cube provides a telling metaphor and an ice-climbing SAT fiddle-playing mountain rescuer from the Cairngorms. Their SAT words are interwoven with spectacular recordings of the SAT Greenland ice sheet as it calves and destroys and a SAT specially composed musical soundscape to reveal the SAT dichotomy and emotional resonance of the thaw.

Tonight's SUN concert ranges from Mussorgsky's vision of a witches' SUN sabbath (with a bit of help from his friend Rimsky) through SUN Scriabin's dreams, to powerhouse works by the two central SUN Russian composers of the twentieth century. Prokofiev's SUN hard-hitting Third Symphony uses music from his opera The SUN Fiery Angel, while Shostakovich was writing his First Violin SUN Concerto at the very time that the Soviet authorities SUN announced their clampdown on music that didn't conform. SUN Julia Fischer is the soloist, returning to the Proms after SUN her triumphant debut with the Brahms Concerto two years ago. SUN SUN Musorgsky, arr.

SUN SUN Susan's guests on stage are James Meek, former Moscow SUN correspondent and prize-winning author of "The People's Act SUN of Love" set in turn of the century Russia, and Anthony SUN Briggs, translator of a recent edition of War and Peace and SUN a biographer of Tolstoy. SUN SUN We know Tolstoy is a great writer - but what about the man SUN himself? James Meek and Anthony Briggs debate his personal SUN influence. Why did he become such an international SUN philosphical celebrity - with hordes of reporters despatched SUN to his deathbed, logging Tolstoy's last hours and morsels SUN consumed in minute detail? Do we need to remember him more SUN as a spiritual teacher who counted Ghandhi amongst his SUN followers, rather than a novelist? And do James and Anthony SUN believe his books give signs of an author who embraced the SUN diversity of human experience - or reveal what he believed SUN to be his misanthropy and pessimism? SUN SUN Part of a series of debates at this year's Proms Literary SUN Festival celebrating the three Russian authors whose SUN anniversaries fall this year: Chekhov, Pasternak and Tolstoy SUN himself.

SUN Their plans are impeded by the return to Rome of Isabella - SUN Brachiano's wife, and sister to the powerful Francisco. SUN Desperate for Vittoria, Brachiano arranges to have both SUN Isabella and Vittoria's husband murdered. And in so doing SUN makes an implacable enemy of the deadly Francisco... SUN The play was first performed in 1612, but this production SUN sets the action in a murky underworld of the 1950s - a world SUN that seeks to hide its shifting alliances, betrayals and SUN sudden violence beneath a flaky veneer of honour and SUN respectability. SUN SUN 22:45 Words and Music b00tghv0 (Listen) SUN Route Nationale SUN SUN Words and Music this week takes to the Route Nationale, as SUN Charles Trenet celebrates the joy of the open road. We stop SUN off in La Rochelle, where Charles Tomlinson describes a town SUN shimmering in spring light, and delight in the cheerfulness SUN of Michel Legrand's 'Les Parapluies de Cherbourg'. SUN SUN Provincial France has so often inspired artists, including SUN van Gogh; Henri Dutilleux's 'Timbres, Espaces, Mouvement, SUN reflects the whirling effects of the painter's landscape'La SUN Nuit Étoilée', painted when van Gogh was in an asylum at SUN Saint-Remy in 1889; its starry background was first depicted SUN in his 'Café Terrace at Night, 1888', a scene described by SUN Mary O'Donnell's poem of the same name. SUN SUN It was in the early-1950s that Elizabeth David introduced SUN the culinary joys of life in provincial France to a wider SUN British audience, in her French Country Cooking, whilst a SUN slightly more bemused take on local life is found in Peter SUN Mayle's 'A Year in Provence'. Provence also features in our SUN musical depictions of rural France: in Ravel's 'Matinée de SUN Provence', and Jean-Claude Petit's theme for the historical SUN drama 'Jean de Florette'. SUN SUN I also wanted to show the contrast between our often SUN carefree sense of a country that many of us only visit for SUN holidays, and the harshness that can be experienced in daily SUN life. There is an uncompromising cruelty in the geography of SUN Jacques Dupin's 'Even if the mountain' (also evoked in SUN Messiaen's depiction of the Alps in the introduction to his SUN 'Chronochromie'). Guillaime Apollinaire's 'Autumn Crocuses' SUN warns of danger underlying a seemingly innocent scene. In SUN 'The Noise of Bars' Paul Verlaine paints a picture of a SUN tough life, and in an extract from Flaubert's 'Madame SUN Bovary', we feel the frustration that even in a relatively SUN comfortable provincial life we can still be left wanting. SUN SUN But overwhelmingly, I am left with the sense of colour and SUN life to be found in the many musical depictions of SUN provincial France, in Millhaud's 'Suite Française', SUN Séverac's 'En Languedoc' and 'Le Chant de la Terre', and as SUN we close, in Victoria de Los Ángeles fine performance of SUN 'Obal, din loui Limouzi', from Canteloube's 'Chants d'Auvergne'.

MON MON 12:00 Composer of the Week b00t73t9 (Listen) MON Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810-1876), Episode 1 MON MON Forget Samuel Sebastian Wesley as a pillar of the Anglican MON Cathedral world. He was an eccentric, inconsistent and MON irascible character, who frequently abandoned his Sunday MON duties of conducting the choir or playing the organ, to MON visit the nearest river for fishing. His life is one of MON regret, having left the world of musical opportunities in MON London at an early age, to be from that point considered a MON composer of Church music. His career spans many Churches and MON Cathedrals, most of which he resigned from under MON circumstances relating to his neglect of duties, and his MON outspoken views concerning the clergy's power over music. MON MON Wesley is largely forgotten today, but during his time he MON was rated highly by the likes of Gounod, Parry and Elgar, MON and he even got to perform duets with Rossini - his father MON was also a celebrated composer. Other relatives of note MON include his great uncle John Wesley - the preacher, and his MON grandfather Charles - the hymn writer. However, S. S. Wesley MON was illegitimate, and he and his siblings were largely MON shunned by their extended family. MON MON Donald Macleod marks the bicentenary of Wesley's birth, MON surveying the life and music of this bad tempered composer. MON His career took him from London to Hereford, then on to MON Exeter and Leeds, moving on again to Winchester and then MON Gloucester. However, Wesley for most of his life wished to MON return to Devon where he'd been happiest in that rural MON landscape, fishing in the local streams and rivers. He MON eventually got his wish upon his deathbed, being returned to MON Exeter to be buried next to his baby daughter. MON MON Throughout the week there will be a number of special MON recordings made for the series, including performances by MON the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the BBC Scottish MON Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Singers, and former New MON Generation artist, the pianist Tom Poster. MON MON In the first of this week's exploration of Wesley's life and MON music, Donald Macleod looks at the composer's childhood and MON early career, including rare works such as his piano Waltz, MON the Benedictus for voices and piano, and the orchestral MON Overture in E.

Scriabin too MON was nothing if not ambitious: he began his symphonic output MON with a massive work in six movements, complete with a choral MON finale in praise of art and including two solo vocal roles, MON taken tonight by members of Gergiev's Mariinsky Theatre. MON MON Scriabin: Symphony No. 1 in E major MON MON Nadezhda Serdiuk (mezzo-soprano) MON Sergei Skorokhodov (tenor) MON MON London Symphony Chorus MON London Symphony Orchestra MON Valery Gergiev (conductor) MON MON 20:20 BBC Proms b00t74vm (Listen) MON 2010, Proms Plus, Proms Literary Festival - Pasternak MON MON Susan Hitch explores the life and work of Boris Pasternak, MON Nobel Prize-winning poet and author, who died 50 years ago. MON Her guests on stage at the Proms Literary Festival are MON Jonathan Myerson, who dramatized Dr Zhivago for the BBC, and MON Professor of Russian Donald Rayfield. MON MON Pasternak is most famous in the UK for his sprawling epic MON novel Dr Zhivago which sets the concerns, desires and MON stories of individuals in the vast landscape of Russian MON revolutionary politics and history. Susan and guests discuss MON the circumstances of the book's publication: it was smuggled MON out of Russia during the height of the Cold War, and the MON subsequent film adaptation by David Lean made Pasternak a MON global literary hero. But does that tell the real story of MON Pasternak? Jonathan Myerson and Donald Rayfield explore the MON misunderstood complexity of the novel, and the fact that the MON compromises Pasternak adopted in his life mean he's no MON straightforward Cold War darling of the West. MON MON Recorded in front of an audience, with readings performed by MON Adjoa Andoh, at the Royal College of Music just before BBC MON Prom 41 which has a Russian flavour with music from Scriabin MON and Stravinsky and is conducted by Valery Gergiev.

MON MON 21:45 The Lebrecht Interview b00t74vr (Listen) MON Joyce DiDonato MON MON Norman Lebrecht meets the acclaimed American mezzo-soprano MON Joyce DiDonato. The sixth child of an Irish Catholic family MON in Prairie Village, Kansas, she married young and was almost MON thirty before anyone was prepared to back her talent. In the MON decade since then, she has taken on mezzo roles in Rossini MON and Handel with a wide-eyed zest that audiences find MON irresistible, and an openness that appears to be innate. The MON very model of a 21st-century communicator, Joyce DiDonato MON writes a chatty blog and decorates it with photographs that MON she snaps wherever she goes. She tells Norman Lebrecht about MON her early life in Kansas, her studies in Philadelphia and MON Houston, and how she bounced back from a string of MON rejections to become one of the world's great operatic stars.

Today, biologist Matthew Cobb on the MON quest for spontaneously generated life. In the sweltering MON heat of a 17th century Tuscan villa, surrounded by jars of MON putrefying meat, Francesco Redi doubts the idea, handed down MON from Aristotle, and accepted unquestioningly by his MON contemporaries, that insects and reptiles emerge without MON parents from dead flesh. The painstaking experiments not MON only established the notion of testing theories by MON exhaustive experimentation, but also laid the foundations of MON modern ideas of continuous heredity in all life. MON MON Producer: Roland Pease. MON MON 23:15 Jazz on 3 b00t74vw (Listen) MON Tomasz Stanko MON MON Jez Nelson presents a second chance to hear a performance by MON Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko's Quintet and a solo set from MON French pianist Martial Solal. MON MON Known for his explorative forays into everything from folk MON to free jazz, here Stanko presents his new quintet, recorded MON at the 2009 London Jazz Festival. Expect a subtly different MON sound world, with bold drum rhythms and electric bass MON alongside Stanko's haunting and mysterious trumpet tones. MON After 40 years on the experimental jazz scene, his music is MON as compelling and creative as ever. MON MON Martial Solal, recorded as part of the 2009 Paris Jazz Week MON at London's King's Place, plays jazz standards in anything MON but a standard way, playfully manipulating the jazz MON repertoire with countermelodies, rhythmic juxtapositions and MON poised abstraction. The concert is drawn together with a MON narrative quality, and demonstrating Solal's encyclopaedic MON knowledge and a ceaseless ability to reinvent. MON MON Producers: Kathryn Willgress & Rebecca Aitchison.

TUE Today the festival's guest performers come together to TUE perform Schubert's Piano Quintet in A major, The Trout - TUE commissioned at a time when Schubert was on a walking tour TUE of Upper Austria, you can almost smell the Alpine air in the TUE music!. Sylvester Paumgarten, a wealthy cellist, arts patron TUE and mine owner, was the commissioner. He was particularly TUE fond of the Schubert's song Die Forelle (Trout) and this is TUE quite possibly the reason why Schubert used the song as the TUE theme for the 4th movement set of variations. More songs TUE feature in Moeran's Fantasy Quartet. The score bears the TUE name of the Norfolk village, Rockland St Mary and perhaps TUE these surroundings inspired Moeran to feature two Norfolk TUE folk songs in this one movement work from 1946.

He was there to try to THU establish trade relations with China, to help his lucrative THU career in the East India Company, but he also had the time THU of his short life, falling in love with Tibet, and Tibetans. THU After his death in 1781, two little girls he'd fathered by THU an unknown mother were sent back to his family at Daldowie THU near Glasgow. The family story was that they were his THU daughters by a high ranking Tibetan lady called Tichan. The THU name looked genuine and the tradition also surfaced in other THU families close to the Bogles. The great Tibetan scholar Hugh THU Richardson was convinced. But was this story true? A THU generation of Tibet scholars have pored over the THU 'judiciously arranged' (and probably censored) family THU records, trying to find clues to their origins. Alas the THU beautiful story is crumbling, but in doing so is giving us THU an insight into something even more important and poignant, THU the fate of mixed race children being sent 'home' from India THU to Scotland. Even with hefty dowries in landed families, THU they could not marry into the same class. They could have THU problems making a life in Scotland - emigration back out THU into the Empire was often their best prospect. They would be THU wrenched from their Indian family forever, with no thought THU for the grief of a mother parted from her child. Despite all THU this, the Tibetan wife story was perhaps a father's last THU gift to his daughters, hoping to make them more acceptable THU to his strict Presbyterian family back home in Scotland. THU Glasgow novelist, Louise Welsh, investigates one of the more THU complex and unexpected legacies of the city's imperial past.

FRI FRI One final move for Wesley from Winchester Cathedral to FRI Gloucester, where in the final years of his life, he was FRI little concerned with his contractual duties.

Wesley finally got his FRI wished-for return to Devon though, when he was buried at FRI Exeter next to the grave of his daughter. For one who gave FRI so much music to the Anglican Church, his funeral was FRI conducted in silence with no music at all.

Tonight's FRI concert ranges from Mussorgsky's vision of a witches' FRI sabbath (with a bit of help from his friend Rimsky) through FRI Scriabin's dreams, to powerhouse works by the two central FRI Russian composers of the twentieth century. Prokofiev's FRI hard-hitting Third Symphony uses music from his opera The FRI Fiery Angel, while Shostakovich was writing his First Violin FRI Concerto at the very time that the Soviet authorities FRI announced their clampdown on music that didn't conform.

But why, as 10% of the population is FRI left-handed, should it take such a loss for composers to FRI consider doing this? Why (especially as the incidence of FRI left-handedness is even higher among musicians) are musical FRI instruments designed by right-handers, for right-handers? FRI FRI The novelist Louise Doughty is left-handed and she feels FRI this has had considerable bearing on her becoming a writer. FRI There is a preconception that left-handers are more creative FRI than most of the population, more likely to develop as FRI artists. Louise enquires into the truth of this, talking to FRI Chris McManus, Professor of Psychology and Medical Education FRI at University College London and an expert on FRI left-handedness and asymmetry. FRI FRI She meets the pianist Chris Steed, who commissioned a FRI left-handed piano, and tries the instrument herself. She FRI considers how left-handedness is not merely mechanical but FRI an approach to the world - a world which pays scant regard FRI to left-handers. Popular opinion even discriminates against FRI left-handness, it being historically associated with evil, FRI and depicted as such in art. Why should Christ sit 'on the FRI right hand of the Father'?
