SAT SAT Carousel was the follow up to Rodgers and Hammerstein’s SAT ground-breaking 1943 musical Oklahoma! According to Stephen SAT Sondheim Oklahoma! is about a picnic whereas Carousel is SAT about life and death. The serious nature of the piece SAT allows for a more complex musical structure and it is scored SAT for a large orchestra (at least 39 players) – one which the SAT West End or Broadway would struggle to afford! Tom Service SAT travels to Leeds to meet the director Jo Davies and SAT conductor James Holmes to hear about their vision for Opera SAT North’s new production of Carousel and talks to the SAT principal singers about their roles. SAT SAT The Swedish tenor Jussi Björling shaped the tastes of SAT generations of opera lovers during his lifetime and his SAT influence still resonates today. Tom talks to Stephen SAT Hastings who has listened to thousands of hours of SAT recordings to write his new book on Björling then opera SAT director Mike Ashman and tenor Toby Spence give their view SAT of the Björling legacy. While Toby Spence was in the studio SAT he also talked to Tom about how his recent diagnosis with SAT thyroid cancer (which has subsequently been operated on) SAT changed his life and his attitude to music and his voice. SAT SAT Pauline Oliveros is a senior figure in contemporary American SAT music. Her career spans fifty years of boundary dissolving SAT music making. In the '50s she was part of a circle of SAT iconoclastic composers, artists and poets gathered together SAT in San Francisco. Her life has been about opening her own SAT and others' sensibilities to the universe and facets of SAT sounds. Tom meets the composer, performer and humanitarian SAT who since the 1960's has influenced American music SAT profoundly through her work with improvisation, meditation, SAT electronic music, myth and ritual. SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b00j4htl (Listen) SAT Gainsborough's Georgian England SAT SAT Thomas Gainsborough had a deep love of music and many of his SAT portraits include musical themes.

SUN SUN 18:30 Words and Music b00s6sdg (Listen) SUN May Day SUN SUN May Day is often associated with English pastoral images: SUN Maypoles, morris dancing and the gathering of greenery. But SUN there's a darker side too, as May Day has throughout history SUN had an undercurrent of misrule, evil practices and sexual SUN liberty. The programme begins in a pastoral vein with poetry SUN and prose about May Day celebrations through the ages, SUN including tudor May Games, and traditional music such as the SUN Padstow May Song. Then comes the sexual liberty associated SUN with the celebrations; Philip Stubbes complains about sexual SUN practices in his Anatomie of Abuses, written in the 16th SUN century, and Britten takes a comic view of the subsequent SUN difficulties in finding a suitable May Queen in his opera SUN Albert Herring. Meanwhile, there’s more disruption as SUN Richmal Crompton’s William ruins the May Day celebrations in SUN his inimitable way by declaring himself May King, and SUN appointing his own Queen.

Charles Nicholl, Leonardo's biographer, is SUN fascinated by these transient masterpieces, which are SUN equally important to the development of Leonardo's work and SUN which the artist carefully describes in his own writing. SUN There are also vivid eye witness accounts. In this programme SUN he re-imagines the most brilliant, Il Paradiso, in its SUN original setting at the Castello Sforzesco in Milan. SUN SUN These ephemeral, insubstantial creations may be dwarfed by SUN the perennial celebrity of his paintings, but they contain SUN in miniature that mix of art and science, of visual flair SUN and mechanical ingenuity, which is typical of him. Comments SUN in his notebooks sometimes suggest they were a distraction SUN from more serious work, but distraction is a key mental SUN process in Leonardo, a finding of unexpected new avenues to SUN explore, and these trivial-seeming divertimenti have their SUN own fascination; they are a counterpart to the profoundly SUN dramatic quality of works such as the Last Supper.

Greta Garbo, Nelson Mandela, Marie Antoinette and MON Louis Armstrong will all have a place, alongside other MON famous and unknown figures. MON MON All day presenters will be exploring the questions: who were MON the people behind the music, why did they inspire composers, MON and how are they captured in sound? Alongside musical MON repertoire, they will be joined by guests for debates on why MON portraiture is such a driving force in so many art forms; MON including painting, photography, poetry, sculpture and MON music. The composer Jonathan Dove will write a new musical MON portrait for later in the year as a BBC commission, and he MON will be joining the debate.

While Strauss as the hero of "Ein MON Heldenleben" encouraged some healthy debate when it was MON first heard in 1899, other works are more direct in their MON association. Dedicated to his wife and his son, Sinfonia MON domestica details a day in the life of the Strauss family, MON including its most intimate moments. While critics of the MON day found it vulgar, the public loved it, and Strauss was MON unashamedly unapologetic. He told journalists in 1921 that MON the work was among his favourites, since it showed him and MON his opinions most clearly.

MON MON First performed in December 1953, Shostakovich's Symphony No MON 10 is a multi-layered portrait - of the composer himself MON through the use of his self-referencing DSCH motif, of the MON recently deceased Stalin who is represented in the second MON movement, and of Elmira Nazirova the student with whom he MON was in love and whose theme can be heard in the third MON movement.

Tom MON investigates how, with the help of the harpsichordist Sophie MON Yates and the composer Robin Holloway, who is no stranger to MON the art of musical portraiture himself.

MON MON How do these things come together to describe a life?

BBC Radio 3 New MON Generation Artist Shabaka Hutchings performs with a group MON put together for the occasion, including veteran avant-garde MON double bassist John Edwards and soulful vocalist Eska MON Mtungwazi, to portray Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Also on the programme: WED Khachaturian's Gayaneh Suite and Walton's First Symphony. WED WED Gayaneh, set in a Soviet Armenian cotton co-operative, is WED full of Khatchaturian's typically exuberant, exotic colours WED that slip from rich to garish, and towering climaxes that WED tumble into the brutal and bombastic. WED WED With his Second Piano Concerto, Rachmaninov not only WED overcame his writer's block, but he found a new voice as a WED composer - one with a perfect knack for unforgettable tunes, WED dazzling pianistic effects, an effortless flow of ideas, and WED a very suave sense of style. It quickly became Rachmaninov's WED greatest hit and one of the most popular concertos of the WED twentieth century. WED WED In musical terms, Walton's First Symphony is a landmark of WED English. Its turbulent emotions and high-voltage energy were WED the fruit of tempestuous events surrounding Walton at the WED time. It consists of an eloquent, dramatic first movement, a WED stinging, malicious Scherzo and a thoroughly melancholic WED slow movement. The finale, though, is totally different in WED outlook, an almost Elgarian ceremonial jubilation, as if a WED cloud has lifted. WED WED Khachaturian : Gayaneh Suite WED Rachmaninov : Piano Concerto No.2 WED WED Nikolai Lugansky, piano WED Kirill Karabits, conductor.

But WED what was his "appalling" inspiration for this turbulent and WED deeply felt work? WED WED Louise Fryer visits some landmarks of Walton's 1930s London WED and talks to Walton expert Stephen Johnson and conductor WED Andrew Litton to tell a story of love, heartache, struggle WED and triumph.

A normal 'sitting' would make no sense. THU So we follow Khan's story of capturing movement - how the THU traditional expressions of Kathak dance were interpreted by THU Fakhr in a contemporary way and made into a nine panel sepia THU portrait which captured the dancer in action.
