a new pasticcio The Enchanted Island opens at SAT New York's Metropolitan Opera; and a book reassessing SAT Ligeti. SAT SAT Andreas Staier on Bach’s Goldberg Variations SAT SAT Tom Service talks to the harpsichordist and pianist Andreas SAT Staier about how Bach’s gigantic, complex, playful, cosmic SAT work, with its Aria and 30 variations, has been giving him SAT sleepless nights for the whole of his life in music. He only SAT recorded the piece a couple of years ago, and plays it at SAT Wigmore Hall in London this weekend, and for Staier, the SAT Goldbergs are simply the summit of the repertoire – not just SAT Bach’s, but for the keyboard as a whole. SAT SAT A Choral Christmas at King’s College, Cambridge SAT SAT Tom travels to King’s College Chapel in Cambridge from where SAT the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols is transmitted SAT around the world every Christmas Eve. There he meets SAT composer John Rutter and historian Christopher Page to SAT explore the medieval pre-history of the Christmas Carol and SAT its contemporary significance as the pre-eminent musical SAT form of Christmas’s joyous religious and popular SAT celebrations. SAT SAT György Ligeti - Of Foreign Lands and Strange Sounds SAT SAT György Ligeti died in 2006 and as is the way of things, it’s SAT only after a great composer’s death that those who knew them SAT best feel able to say what really happened in his classes, SAT his rehearsals rooms, and his homes. Tom discusses a new SAT book of essays on the composer with its editors Wolfgang SAT Marx and Lousie Duscheneau. He finds that the book isn’t a SAT warts and all attempt to reveal the truth behind Ligiti’s SAT compositional genius but a celebration of a man and his SAT music that will go on influencing composers and audiences as SAT long as there are ears and minds to hear him. SAT SAT The Enchanted Island SAT SAT New Year’s Eve at the Metropolitan Opera in New York will be SAT celebrated with the premiere of The Enchanted Island, a SAT contemporary “pasticcio” with a libretto by Jeremy Sams and SAT conducted by William Christie. The idea is to create a SAT baroque opera that would consist only of bejewelled SAT brilliance instead of the longueurs of a surfeit of da capo SAT arias. This entailed rifling through two centuries of SAT musical history to find neglected hits by Leclair, Handel, SAT Campra, Vivaldi et al, and knotting the whole thing together SAT to tell a single story – in this case a fusing of SAT Shakespeare’s The Tempest with A Midsummer Night's Dream. SAT Tom talks to Jeremy Sams and William Christie and you can SAT hear extracts of the music from members of the cast which SAT includes Danielle de Niese, Joyce Di Donato, David Daniels SAT and Placido Domingo. The opera will be broadcast on BBC SAT Radio 3 on Saturday 21st January 2012. SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b018582g (Listen) SAT The Worshipful Company of Musicians SAT SAT Lucie Skeaping explores the history of the Worshipful SAT Company of Musicians, founded in 1500. Lucie talks to two SAT Past Masters, Paul Campion and Richard Crewdson. Richard has SAT written a book, "Apollo's Swan and Lyre", which charts the SAT history of the Musicians' Company. The programme looks back SAT to the roots of the organisation, which provided protection SAT for professional musicians in the City of London, and the SAT Act of Incorporation of the Company in the 17th Century. The SAT programme explores the world of London's medieval minstrels, SAT and the guild's relationship between the Royal Household and SAT the City Waits.

SAT The inevitable downward spiral begins when fifteen-year-old SAT Butterfly marries American sailor Pinkerton. Denounced and SAT cursed by her distinguished but hard-up family for giving up SAT her ancestral religion in favour of Christianity, it's not SAT long before she's left by her husband who promises to return SAT 'when the robins build their nests'. A single parent, SAT courtesy of Pinkerton, Butterfly has to wait three years SAT before she sets eyes on him again. And who can blame her if SAT she doesn't like what she sees: not only Pinkerton but his SAT American wife, Kate. There's only one way out for a Puccini SAT heroine in a situation like this: suicide. SAT SAT With its celebrated set pieces (including 'Un bel dì') and SAT gripping dramatic narrative, 'Madama Butterfly' is one of SAT Puccini's greatest operas. Butterfly is a signature role for SAT Chinese-born soprano Liping Zhang and she's joined by SAT leading American tenor Robert Dean as the fickle American SAT seaman. They're conducted by a man who knows 'Butterfly' SAT from the inside - and who was no mean Pinkerton himself: SAT Plácido Domingo. SAT SAT Cio-Cio San..... Liping Zhang (soprano) SAT Suzuki.....

SAT SAT 21:30 Between the Ears b01804hc (Listen) SAT Tap City SAT SAT Three remarkable personal journeys are intertwined to show SAT how New York has become the capital of a global experiment SAT in rhythm, music and dance. Communicating through the SAT language of rhythm, dancers and musicians are taking the SAT art-form into exciting new areas. SAT SAT Jason Samuels Smith is a native New Yorker, from Hell's SAT Kitchen. He's an Emmy award-winning dancer at the heart of SAT the 1990s African American revival of tap dance through the SAT infusion of hip hop beats. Jason tells us how he pioneered a SAT unique collaboration with renowned Indian Kathak dance SAT master Pandit Chitresh Dash. They've challenged each other SAT to interpret their moves and grooves in a live show of taps SAT versus bare feet and bells, drums, sitars and rap tunes, on SAT an acclaimed US tour. SAT SAT Roxane Butterfly, the first person to be granted a green SAT card to work as a professional tap dancer, was brought up in SAT France by her Romansh-Swiss father and Moroccan-born mother, SAT she lives an itinerant existence. Proclaimed 'the John SAT Coltrane of Tap' by the New York Times, Roxane studied tap SAT dance in New York with the legendary Jimmy Slyde - an SAT inheritance she'll always treasure - although it hasn't SAT stopped her blending jazz-tap with Moroccan DJellaba grooves SAT and Cameroonian moves. SAT SAT Max Pollak is a master of rhythm, from tapping feet to SAT drumming to body percussion. Born in Austria, he came to New SAT York in the 1990s to work on a choreography with jazz SAT bassist Ray Brown. After meeting members of the Tito Puente SAT band, he created RumbaTap, bringing new life to traditional SAT Cuban folk stories and culture with his own dance style. SAT SAT A bold exchange of world rhythms in the world's capital city SAT of tap.

In this SUN archive interview, he joins Alyn Shipton to look back over a SUN fifty year span of some of the finest big band and small SUN group records in British jazz. SUN SUN Whether inspired by Hobbits, Thomas Hardy or J M Barrie, SUN Garrick's musical settings were some of the most imaginative SUN and colourful in jazz. His music took inspiration from a SUN huge variety of sources, ranging from Indian and Burmese SUN music and literature to English folksongs and novels. A SUN brilliant pianist, Garrick was also known for his pioneering SUN work with Don Rendell and Ian Carr, for his poetry and jazz SUN sessions, and for continuing to lead groups large and small SUN against all commercial odds for over half a century.

Born in Paris in 1930 as Monique Serf, she is SUN virtually unknown and unheard outside French speaking SUN countries, yet when she died in 1997, hundreds of thousands SUN of Parisians came out onto the streets to escort Barbara to SUN her grave. SUN SUN Norman Lebrecht spent much of his childhood growing up in SUN Paris and first heard Barbara in his teens. He's never SUN stopped listening to her music. "She seems to know my needs SUN and fears, to address the most private matters in an SUN unmistakable voice of empathy and compassion", he says. SUN SUN The voice itself is unmistakable, soft, silky and SUN confidential. The topics she sings about are intensely SUN personal. In 'Nantes', one of her most poignant songs, she SUN describes travelling to her father's funeral - the father SUN who abused her as a child. SUN SUN Norman travels through the world in which Barbara lived and SUN worked investigating how she condensed her experiences into SUN a music that became the Inner Voice of France. SUN SUN With contributions from singers Roberto Alagna, Nana SUN Mouskouri and Martha Wainwright. There's also former SUN president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and SUN Development, Jacques Attali who wrote lyrics for her, SUN Barbara's nephew Bernard Serf, her assistant Marie Chaix, SUN and biographer Valerie Lehoux. SUN SUN Producer: Jeremy Evans.

The play also holds the SUN honour of being the first piece of theatre ever to be SUN produced in Australia, with a cast of convicts and officers, SUN an event described by Thomas Keneally in his book The SUN Playmaker, and then dramatised by Timberlake Wertenbaker in SUN her play, Our Country's Good. A double bill of the two plays SUN was staged in repertory to great acclaim at The Royal Court SUN in 1988, with a common cast. This new pair of radio SUN productions reproduces the enterprise.

MON Rob Cowan's Essential Classics guest this week is the great MON Italian chef and restaurateur Antonio Carluccio, who grew up MON in Piedmont and began his career as a wine merchant in MON Germany and the UK, where he has lived since 1975. Having MON managed, and then owned, Terence Conran's Neal Street MON Restaurant in Covent Garden, he opened his own eponymous MON Italian food shop in 1991, and Carluccio's quickly expanded MON into a chain of highly-regarded restaurants and cafes with MON integrated food shops. Antonio Carluccio has written 13 MON books on authentic Italian cuisine, and has appeared on MON several BBC TV series. As well as food, music is one of his MON greatest passions, as Rob intends to discover over the MON course of the week. Rob is joined by Antonio Carluccio at MON 10.30am every day. MON MON Also in the programme this week... MON MON From 9am, there[s a selection of must-hear music including MON the Essential CD of the Week. MON MON From 9.30am, performances by our Artist of the Week - this MON week, the conductor Sir Colin Davis, who made his first MON gramophone recordings in the late 1950s and today is MON producing a growing catalogue of live performances with the MON London Symphony Orchestra. We'll hear him in Sibelius, MON Mozart, Bizet amongst others. MON MON And at 11am, we've major works of the classical music MON repertoire in outstanding performances.

MON MON Presenter: Rob Cowan MON Producer: Chris Marshall. MON MON 12:00 Composer of the Week b0186db9 (Listen) MON Georg Frideric Handel (1685-1759), Handel in Italy MON MON Donald Macleod looks at the life and music of this MON German-born composer who arrived in Georgian London just as MON the craze for Italian opera was taking hold, producing a MON series of masterpieces which made him the talk of the town. MON And as its popularity subsided, Handel re-invented himself MON as a composer of English oratorio, many of which continue to MON be the staple fare of choral societies throughout the MON country. MON MON Over the course of his long career he had to contend with MON all kinds of challenges as he negotiated his way through the MON opera world, with its temperamental singers, rival composers MON and squabbling management, producing music not only to MON please the paying public but also, when required, to mark MON the births, deaths and marriages of a dysfunctional royal MON family. Donald investigates the effect all these colourful MON individuals had on Handel's life and music, not forgetting MON those who collaborated with him on his oratorios in the MON second half of his career, one of the most important being MON Charles Jennens, who provided the words for the best loved MON of all Handel's music, Messiah. MON MON Today he turns his attention to the time Handel spent in MON Italy where he cut his teeth as an opera composer and found MON support and inspiration from important figures such as the MON diplomat and composer whose miniature cantatas influenced MON his own, and the cardinal who provided one of the best MON librettos Handel ever set.

MON MON Matthew Sweet and guests attempt to define the zeitgeist via MON the cultural artefacts and moments of 2011. Kevin Jackson MON makes the case for Lars Von Trier's apocalyptic Melancholia, MON while Toby Litt argues that we are witnessing the slow death MON of the novel, as exemplified by the hoopla and ephemera MON surrounding the publication of David Foster Wallace's MON unfinished The Pale King. Samira Ahmed has chosen the high MON theatre of the Leveson Inquiry and Sarah Kent has nominated MON a yacht that was sold as a work of art at this year's Frieze MON fair. But will any of this be remembered in 2111 ? That is MON the question. MON MON 22:45 The Essay b0185ffn (Listen) MON The Writer's Dickens, Tessa Hadley on Rooms and Reality MON MON Five contemporary novelists examine the craft of Dickens' MON prose, and reflect on how the giant of British nineteenth MON century fiction is both a role model and a shadow looming MON over their own writing. Taking as their starting point a MON favourite extract from one of Dickens' novels, each writer MON discuss Dickens' themes, narrative techniques and writing MON craft, and tells us what they themselves have learnt from MON it. They offer thoughtful, unusually engaged and focussed MON critical appreciation of Dickens' skill, as well as valuable MON insights into their own work and how they themselves wrestle MON with the subject and technique under discussion. MON MON Beginning the series is Tessa Hadley, writing on Rooms and MON Reality. Taking as her starting point the description of the MON Clenham's house in Little Dorritt, she explores how Dickens MON paints the reality of his world through his characters' MON houses, and reflects on how significant houses are her own MON writing. MON MON Other writers in the series are A L Kennedy, Alexander MON McCall Smith, Romesh Gunesekera and Justin Cartwright.

Taking as their starting point a TUE favourite extract from one of Dickens' novels, each writer TUE discuss Dickens' themes, narrative techniques and writing TUE craft, and tells us what they themselves have learnt from TUE it. They offer thoughtful, unusually engaged and focused TUE critical appreciation of Dickens' skill, as well as valuable TUE insights into their own work and how they themselves wrestle TUE with the subject and technique under discussion. TUE TUE In the second essay in the series, Booker-shortlisted TUE novelist Romesh Gunesekera takes an extract from David TUE Copperfield as a starting point for an exploration of TUE Dickens' writing about childhood and the move from childhood TUE into adulthood, a theme which has been significant in his TUE own writing.

Taking as their starting point a WED favourite extract from one of Dickens' novels, each writer WED discuss Dickens' themes, narrative techniques and writing WED craft, and tells us what they themselves have learnt from WED it. They offer thoughtful, unusually engaged and focused WED critical appreciation of Dickens' skill, as well as valuable WED insights into their own work and how they themselves wrestle WED with the subject and technique under discussion. WED WED In the third programme in the series, novelist, essayist and WED performer A L Kennedy takes an extract from Nicholas WED Nickleby as her starting point for a provocative exploration WED of poverty and misery - themes which loom large in Dickens' WED work, and which are never far from her own fiction.

THU THU 20:30 Twenty Minutes b0186bxt (Listen) THU What Childhood of Christ? THU THU Christianity is founded on the story of Jesus' birth and the THU three years before his death. But what happened in between? THU Jesus' boyhood, adolescence and young adulthood are absent THU from the New Testament Gospels. But early Christian THU communities found value in swapping stories of Christ's THU youth; imagining his miraculous powers in the hands of a THU child; rebelling in school and creating birds from clay. THU Helen Bond roots among the scriptures and the apocrypha for THU evidence of Christ's missing years and examines how this THU absence affects our understanding of Christ and of children.
