Also, as a number of concerts across Britain mark SAT the 75th anniversary of Karol Szymanowksi's death, SAT musicologists Adrian Thomas and Stephen Downes discuss the SAT work and legacy of the most important Polish composer since SAT Chopin and one of the 20th-Century greats. Also interviewed SAT are conductor Edward Gardner and tenor Piotr Beczala. And in SAT Music Matters a world premiere after more than a hundred SAT years: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's opera Thelma, a magic Norse SAT drama of love and deceit thought lost but now re-discovered. SAT We eavesdrop into a production staged by Surrey Opera in SAT Croydon, South London, marking the first centenary of the SAT composer's death. We hear from main singers, conductor SAT Jonathan Butcher and director Christopher Cowell, among SAT others. Also, Sir Antonio Pappano, the Royal Opera House's SAT Music Director, talks to Tom about the financial and SAT artistic challenges at Covent Garden - and opera in general SAT - in 2012. SAT SAT Richard Goode SAT SAT The Pianist Richard Goode is used to playing the world's SAT concert halls and teaching the best students in Marlboro yet SAT this American classical music idol is an intensely private SAT person. Tom Service talks to him about Chopin and Schumann SAT (two composers whose music features on his latest UK tour), SAT his complete identification with pieces and the paradoxes of SAT performance and discovering that the professorial Goode is SAT just as addicted to the drug of performance as other SAT musicians. SAT SAT Karol Szymanowski SAT SAT Karol Szymanowski died 75 years ago and as his music is SAT celebrated by orchestras up and down the country Music SAT Matters explores the life and works of Poland's great early SAT modernist. Tom talks to conductor Edward Gardner, Polish SAT tenor Piotr Beczala and two British Szymanowski scholars – SAT Adrian Thomas and Stephen Downes . He discovers how the SAT composer rejected the conservatism of Poland's musical SAT scene, found musical, sexual, and sensual inspiration in his SAT travels south - to Greece and North Africa - and how this SAT cosmopolitan experience inspired his music. SAT SAT Sir Antonio Pappano SAT SAT Following the review of the new Charles Munch biography by SAT Sir Antonio Pappano in last week’s programme, Tom takes the SAT opportunity to talk further with the music director of the SAT Royal Opera and The Academy of Santa Cecilia in Rome. SAT Pappano reveals how singer-power is changing the dynamics of SAT today's opera world, and how he and the Royal Opera are SAT facing up to the challenges of 2012, from the Olympics to SAT the economic crisis to renewing the Italian repertoire. SAT SAT Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s opera Thelma SAT SAT Samuel Coleridge-Taylor completed his opera Thelma (based on SAT a Norse legend) in 1909, but it was rejected by the Carl SAT Rosa Company and presumed lost for decades. That was until SAT the original manuscript was rediscovered on the shelves of SAT the British Library. Surrey Opera are presenting the world SAT premiere of the work in a full-scale production at the SAT Ashcroft Theatre in Croydon (Coleridge-Taylor’s home town), SAT in this, the centenary year of the composer’s death. Tom SAT pays a visit to meet the creative team responsible including SAT Jonathan Butcher, Surrey Opera's artistic director and SAT conductor. He thinks Thelma is a masterpiece which could SAT eclipse Coleridge-Taylor's most famous piece, Hiawatha's SAT Wedding Feast, in music lover’s affections! SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b011cfw3 (Listen) SAT Composer Portrait - Niccolo Jommelli SAT SAT Lucie Skeaping plays a selection of music by Niccolo SAT Jommelli.

Dr Raymond Tallis has recently been SUN acclaimed as one of the world's leading polymaths. He SUN trained as a doctor and went on to become Professor of SUN Geratric Medicine at the University of Manchester and a SUN consultant physician in the Care of the Elderly at Salford. SUN In 2006 he retired from medicine to become a full-time SUN writer. Over the past 20 years he has published fiction, SUN poetry, and 23 books on the philosophy of the mind, SUN philosophical anthropology, literary theory, the nature of SUN art, and cultural criticism, offering a critique of current SUN predominant intellectual trends and an alternative SUN understanding of human consciousness. His most recent books SUN are 'The Kingdom of Infinite Space', reflecting on the SUN mystery of embodiment, 'Hunger', exploring the basic drives SUN behind humanity, and 'Aping Mankind: Neuromania, Darwinitis SUN and the Misrepresentation of Humanity', a critique which SUN exposes the exaggerated claims made forr the ability of SUN neuroscience and evolutionary theory to explain human SUN behaviour, culture and society. SUN SUN Music is deeply important to Raymond Tallis. He has chosen SUN the last movement of Beethoven's Quartet Op.135, which asks SUN the existential question 'Must it be?', to which he thinks SUN we may find an answer in the Beatles' classic 'Let it Be'. SUN Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder explore the celebration of death SUN and sex, while Tallis's great motet 'Spem in alium' creates SUN an awesome wall of sound. FInally,the opening aria of Bach's SUN cantata BWV 82 (Es ist genug) is related to Raymond Tallis's SUN own views on assisted dying when an individual feels that SUN 'it is enough'.

It reads like a great drama SUN divided into two parts. In the first part Fauvel, who is a SUN horse, determines to leave his stable and with the aid of SUN Dame Fortune, take over his master's house. In the second SUN part he is encouraged by Dame Fortune to marry a character SUN called Vain Glory. SUN SUN The Roman de Fauvel was a huge hit in its day and prompted SUN one copy - now in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France - SUN which attracted a wealth of music, written out alongside the SUN lavishly illumined text. One of the composers is known to SUN have been the great French musician Philippe de Vitry. SUN SUN The importance of Le Roman de Fauvel is profound. The SUN culmination of European Gothic Art. It is one of the best SUN examples from the medieval world of a spoken drama with SUN music, and is often referred to as the starting point of SUN Philippe de Vitry's Ars Nova. SUN SUN Catherine Bott looks back on the story and history of the SUN book with the medieval expert Emma Dillon, who has written a SUN book about Fauvel - and features a recording of its music by SUN the Boston Camerata directed by Joel Cohen. SUN SUN Translations from the text are read by Scott Handy and SUN Caroline Martin.

SUN SUN I’ve always been fascinated by the pull of the west in SUN British and Irish thought. Perhaps that’s partly because my SUN father’s ancestors came from the west of Ireland – but you SUN don’t need Celtic roots to know what I mean. The poetry of SUN A E Housman and John Masefield is shot through with a SUN longing for a 'land of lost content' in the west, as is both SUN the music and poetry of Arnold Bax and Ivor Gurney. What SUN has the west wind seen? – asks Claude Debussy. The sun sets SUN in the west – William Wordsworth is ‘Stepping Westward’ at SUN sunset. SUN SUN Our western edge is a seemingly limitless sea. Legends SUN abound of paradise islands out to the west, just over the SUN western: Atlantis for the classical Greeks (and Manuel de SUN Falla); Cockaigne; the Celtic lands of eternal youth such as SUN Tir na nOg. The tales tell of mortal heroes lured away west SUN by beautiful immortal women: Fand dancing in her garden, the SUN sea (gloriously evoked in Bax’s tone poem); Niamh seducing SUN Oisin away on his wanderings – hauntingly captured by W B SUN Yeats. SUN SUN But what if we follow the sun? What is really there? – as SUN Columbus challenges us to ask in Louis MacNeice’s radio SUN play, with incidental music by William Walton. And for SUN those who reached North America, the promised land moved SUN ever further west. SUN SUN The eighteenth-century Anglo-Irish emigrant Bishop Berkeley SUN (after whom the Californian university city is named) and SUN the Russian Jewish New Englander Lenny Bernstein set the SUN scene. My colleague Olwen Fisher – whose mother’s father SUN was the American historian David S Lovejoy – taught me about SUN the new religious and political mythology that created and SUN built the dream of the American West: from the earliest SUN settlers in the sixteenth century to its zenith in the SUN nineteenth century concept of the white man’s ‘manifest SUN destiny to verspread the continent allotted by Providence SUN for the free development of our yearly multiplying SUN millions’. SUN SUN Arthur Chapman and Aaron Copland celebrate a romanticised SUN Western ‘home on the range’. The dream turns to reality in SUN Amy Clampitt’s epic, complex masterpiece The Prairie, and in SUN the lives and deaths of the Native Americans, expressed once SUN for all by Chief Joseph of the Nimipu (Nez Percé) people, SUN from the Pacific Northwest – who had welcomed the SUN transcontinental pioneers Lewis and Clark in 1805. SUN SUN Other cultures have their own ‘idea of west’ – or, rather, SUN of the West and Western culture. Jalal Al-e Ahmad’s classic SUN Farsi essay Gharbzadegi (Westoxification) – now fifty years SUN old – and the biting irony of the Iraqi performance poet SUN Mozaffar al-Nawwab are both represented in the excellent SUN recent American anthology Tablet & Pen – Literary Landscapes SUN from the Modern Middle East, which aims to give voice to ‘a SUN common experience of Western imperialism’ (though in fact SUN only a minority of the writings are overtly political). SUN AsFâr – a pun on the Arabic for ‘journeys’ and the English SUN ‘as far’ – the most recent album by the Palestinian Trio SUN Joubran, three brothers from Nazareth who have lived for SUN several years in Paris, is underpinned by their experience SUN of the reality of ‘the West they dreamed of’. SUN SUN I’m grateful to Martin Sixsmith, whose history of Russia – SUN ‘The Wild East’ – was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2011, for SUN introducing me to Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s powerful speech SUN at Harvard in 1978. The exiled writer’s view of the West is SUN as dark as that as of his self-exiled compatriot Sergei SUN Rachmaninov, and as incisive as the irony of the young SUN Dmitri Shostakovich, satirising the ‘golden youth’ of the SUN West who fail to corrupt the Soviet footballing heroes of SUN his 1930 ballet The Golden Age (or Age of Gold). SUN SUN Which leads inexorably to the other recurring association in SUN Western thought of the west, the sunset and the western SUN sea... Death. Often, an uncommonly comforting view of SUN death – as Celtic myth comes full circle.

His books include the 1,000-page SUN Infinite Jest, a novel of grand ambition and stylistic SUN experiment that came complete with 388 endnotes. (Footnotes, SUN digressions, constant second guessing of every thought are SUN features of Wallace's signature style). SUN SUN In April The Pale King, Wallace's final, unfinished novel SUN will be published. Few literary novels have been more SUN eagerly anticipated in recent years. Its great subject is SUN Boredom. Wallace set himself big challenges. Infinite Jest SUN attacked the entertainment industry while trying to SUN entertain and The Pale King engages with boredom as a path SUN toward transcendence. SUN SUN This Sunday Feature is presented by Professor Geoff Ward, SUN author of a literary history of America. He, like many, was SUN convinced Wallace would be the preeminent American writer to SUN reckon with in the years ahead, and was shocked by his SUN tragic early death. He assesses Wallace's legacy, themes and SUN preoccupations, talking to the precursor Wallace admired SUN most, Don DeLillo, and to friends, collaborators and SUN contemporaries such as Mark Costello and Rick Moody. In the SUN company of the writer's sister, Amy Wallace, Ward travels to SUN the Midwest of America where the writer grew up, and SUN considers the impact of place on his imagination. He also SUN talks to Wallace's publisher and editor Michael Pietsch SUN about the difficult task of assembling Wallace's final SUN fragments into The Pale King. SUN SUN The programme also contains some rare archive reflections by SUN a young David Foster Wallace, recorded a year before the SUN publication of Infinite Jest, on the role of the writer in SUN an age of media saturation. SUN SUN Delay in Listen Again Audio SUN SUN We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delay SUN presenting the online audio for this programme. SUN This was the consequence of a technical problem at the time SUN of broadcast. SUN SUN 20:30 Drama on 3 b01bs9dq (Listen) SUN A Man's World SUN SUN A Man's World is a compelling new drama following the lives SUN of four violent male offenders thrown together on a SUN six-month rehabilitation course. If they pass, they get a SUN community service order. If they fail, they have to serve SUN their jail sentence. Written by Waking The Dead writer, SUN Adrian Mead. SUN Attendance is compulsory at The Men's Group as all the SUN participants have recently been convicted of a serious SUN violent crime. This pioneering course works to challenge and SUN radically alter the participants' behaviour by forcing them SUN to confront and recognise why aggression and violence shapes SUN their lives. At stake is their freedom. Upon completion of SUN the twenty-five-week course the courts ask the tutor, the SUN central character Angela (played by Siobhan Redmond), to SUN recommend either a community sentence or a jail term. In the SUN group there is nowhere to hide. Many participants in the SUN real life course have stated that if they had known what SUN they were expected to face, they would have opted for a jail SUN sentence instead - "In your head you're sayin', what are SUN they going to think of me if I really tell them everything? SUN But the other guys see it, and they push you further, to the SUN really dark stuff you never tell no one." The drama captures SUN the terror of facing up to your past and finding new ways to SUN behave, or going to jail. Getting in touch with your SUN feelings doesn't come easily to guys like this, but it is SUN their only way out of jail, and is a hugely important issue SUN for Britain today.

SUN SUN Surrounded by mountains, and only really accessible by ferry SUN across Lake Koman, or by road via Kosovo, Bajram Curri is a SUN town on the Valbona River, where every year a festival SUN celebrating Albania folk traditions is held in a run down SUN outdoor sports arena. Families and local dignitaries crowd SUN the stadium to hear bands singing songs in praise of SUN Albanian honour and hospitality, as well as epic ballads SUN about the country's past heroes. Having spent its history SUN fighting occupations from the Ottoman Empire, and its Slavic SUN neighbours, in the North of the country where the borders of SUN Albania, Kosovo and Macedonia meet, the musical identity is SUN a key part in proclaiming Albania national pride. SUN SUN Lucy meets bands of Albanian musicians from around the SUN Tropoje region, as well as neighbouring Kosovo, and heads up SUN in to the mountains to an isolated village to record some of SUN the old domestic songs of the region, and hear about SUN arranged marriages. She also meets a Maje Krahu singer, a SUN man who has walked 3 hours from his village to meet her and SUN sing in the old style used to communicate the threat of SUN invasion to the remote villages.

Donald Macleod MON focuses upon the life and music of Sir Hubert Parry MON (1848-1918). MON MON Parry's own wish to study music, and later also to marry the MON love of his life, were both frowned upon by his elders, but MON he eventually achieved both, proving himself to be a man of MON determination and ability. He would, however, go on to be a MON victim of his own success, with the nation's lust for MON oratorios, an area of music in which Parry would be MON pigeonholed. His works were successful in the UK, but very MON few ever achieved much further afield, and although he was MON responsible for heralding a British musical renaissance, the MON nation would largely forget Parry towards the end of his MON life, in favour of younger talent. Parry did go on to have MON an incredible impact upon new composers in his role as MON Director of the Royal College of Music, and despite ill MON health throughout most of his life, he was never one to turn MON a student away or not offer help and advice. MON MON Hubert Parry was born into an affluent family, with certain MON expectations being placed upon him with regard to his future MON career and religious beliefs. Parry would go on to fight MON against these confines, and whilst studying at Eton, he MON would also pursue his musical ambitions on the side, MON including composing anthems such as Crossing the Bar. The MON organ would also prove to be an area of interest to Parry MON throughout his career, with works such as his Fantasia and MON Fugue in G. In fact we see Parry in the organ loft with the MON senior composer Samuel Sebastian Wesley, who encourages the MON young lad to pursue a career in music. MON MON When Parry went to Oxford, he soon acquired his music MON degree, and was active in devising musical events in his MON lodgings, including the performance of chamber music. Parry MON would go on to compose many chamber works, especially in his MON early career, including a Nonet. Also whilst still at MON Oxford, Parry searched out music tutors such as Pierson, who MON instructed Parry further in the art of instrumental writing. MON This tuition would eventually feed into larger works, such MON as his first Symphony. MON MON Sir Hubert Parry MON Jerusalem, orch.

MON MON A James Cameron film. A Rupert Goold production. The MON director has become an acclaimed and authoritative figure - MON even a star in his own right - but the job itself remains MON the subject of speculation: what does a director actually MON do? And what is the mysterious 'process' that sees them from MON idea to first night? In this Essay series, five innovative MON practitioners of stage and screen reveal the daily grind of MON a craft which, despite books and interviews on the subject, MON remains opaque. MON MON Roger Michell's career has spanned theatre, television and MON film. Earlier in his career, he worked at the Royal Court MON and the RSC, where he eventually became a resident director. MON He continues to divide his time between theatre and film, MON and recent stage productions include Rope (The Almeida) and MON Tribes (Royal Court). For BBC television he directed The MON Buddha of Suburbia (1993) and Persuasion (1995). Some of his MON films include Notting Hill (1999), Changing Lanes (2002), MON The Mother (2003), Enduring Love (2004), Venus (2006) and MON Morning Glory (2010). MON MON Later this year he will direct Richard Nelson's Farewell To MON The Theatre at the Hampstead Theatre, and then Joe Penhall's MON new play Birthday at the Royal Court. His latest film Hyde MON Park On Hudson, starring Bill Murray as Roosevelt, will be MON released in cinemas this year. MON MON The series is produced by Sasha Yevtushenko.

TUE TUE Whilst still at Oxford, Parry was very active in musical TUE activities such as the Exeter College Musical Society. This TUE gave him the opportunity to hear many of his own works, such TUE as songs and partsongs. Parry would continue to compose TUE music for the voice throughout his career, including songs TUE such as More fond than Cushat Dove, and the partsong What TUE voice of gladness. TUE TUE When Parry left Oxford, he went into insurance much to the TUE pleasure of his father. This also provided Parry with a TUE level of respectability, which his future mother-in-law very TUE much approved of, eventually allowing him to marry her TUE daughter Maude. Throughout his early career with Lloyds, TUE Parry continued his musical activities, always searching for TUE a piano and a composition teacher to support him. He TUE continued to compose around this time, including works for TUE the piano such as his Charakterbilder. TUE TUE Parry's search for musical support brought him to the TUE pianist and teacher Dannreuther, who frequently held his own TUE chamber music gatherings. This allowed Parry the opportunity TUE to compose and hear his works, such as his first Piano Trio. TUE Dannreuther and Parry also both shared a love for the music TUE of Wagner, which can be heard in Parry's orchestral work TUE Concertstuck, composed after he'd visited Beyreuth.

TUE Live from St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, the BBC Singers TUE with Principal Guest Conductor Paul Brough are joined by TUE piano duettists Richard Pearce and Gavin Roberts in TUE lovesongs which range from Francis Poulenc's witty TUE reworkings of old French folk tunes to Johannes Brahms' TUE collection in waltz-time. In between come Daniel-Lesur's TUE settings of erotic verse from the Biblical Song of Songs, TUE and Peter Cornelius' trilogy of highly-charged 17th-century TUE poems expressing the love of the enraptured human soul for TUE the divine. And, keeping matters firmly in the secular TUE sphere, three songs by Cole Porter and Richard Rodney TUE Bennett's setting of 18th C Scottish words are a reminder TUE that the course of true love rarely runs smooth.

WED WED Parry in his early thirties was enjoying the support and WED friendship of the pianist Edward Dannreuther. This WED friendship would allow Parry the chance to compose and hear WED many chamber works at his mentor's chamber evenings, WED including his Violin Sonata in D major, composed at the WED request of Dannreuther. WED WED Parry's status as a composer would soon be on the up, with a WED commission from the Gloucestershire Festival. His response WED was the choral work Prometheus Unbound, which some say WED heralded the birth of modern English music. This popularity WED in writing choral music would develop further, allowing WED Parry the opportunity to write one of best known scores, WED Blest Pair of Sirens. WED WED Parry was now appointed a teacher at the newly established WED Royal College of Music, and colleagues would soon be WED criticising him for his interest in Wagner. Like Wagner, WED Parry was attracted to the art from of opera. Yet unlike WED Wagner, Parry's only attempt in the form, Guenever, was a WED total failure. During this time though Parry did compose one WED of his most popular orchestral works, his third Symphony, WED nicknamed The English.

THU THU Parry had hit the big time! His Blest Pair of Sirens had THU proved to be popular, and a number of other choral THU commissions followed, including the chance to write an THU oratorio, Judith. Although rarely heard in its entirety THU today, many will recognise one of the tunes as the hymn Dear THU Lord and Father of Mankind. Other choral works followed, THU such as Job, although Parry detested the nation's lust for THU oratorios, and soon found himself pigeonholed in the THU category of an oratorio composer. THU THU Other commissions came Parry's way though, such as composing THU incidental music for the stage. One such play was The Frogs, THU which caused wild uproar. Then followed another stage work, THU Hypatia, although the composing of this was at a time when THU Parry's health was not good. Parry had always suffered from THU poor health, and now his doctors were advising him regular THU trips abroad for peace and quiet, and time away from work. THU This was hard to achieve, as Parry had just been appointed THU Director of the Royal College of Music. THU THU Along with this appointment at the RCM, and with his THU commissions increasing, Parry's status was now at an all THU time high. For the anniversary celebrations of the composer THU Purcell, Parry would compose one of his best choral works, THU Invocation to Music. Also at this time he'd write his only THU orchestral work to become popular abroad, the Symphonic THU Variations.

THU Brahms first considered writing a Requiem Mass after the THU death of his close friend Robert Schumann, but it was only a THU decade later, after the death of his mother caused him THU inconsolable grief , that he began the project in earnest. THU The contemplation of mortality he produced is unlike any THU conventional Requiem Mass. THU Ein deutsches Requiem sets sections of Luther's translation THU of the Bible, dwelling more on the hope of the resurrection THU than on the fear of Judgement Day. The first movement, THU 'Blessed are they that mourn', consoles those that remain on THU Earth. The work moves towards the dramatic highlight of the THU resurrection of the dead, yet ends back on an earthly level, THU a reminder that we cannot know what awaits us.

FRI FRI During the last twenty years of Parry's life, although he FRI was an important part of the British musical scene, knighted FRI by Queen Victoria, and Director of the Royal College of FRI Music, his own music would soon be forgotten and FRI overshadowed by the works of his friend Elgar. Parry would FRI still compose two scores, which would prove to be his most FRI popular and enduring. Jerusalem, which is considered to be FRI Britain's second national anthem, was composed for a war FRI organisation during WWI. The second, his anthem I was Glad, FRI was composed for the coronation of Edward VII, and has since FRI been used at many royal occasions. FRI FRI Parry's health was deteriorating greatly, and he had to FRI start giving up various teaching and committee obligations. FRI Throughout his career he had always continued to compose the FRI odd work for organ, or set of songs based on English lyrics. FRI There was an Indian summer for Parry when his works were FRI briefly back in vogue, which saw the composition of his FRI fifth symphony. However, with the outbreak of war, his FRI health soon started to go downhill, as he was required to FRI work more and more on his own estate in the chopping down of FRI trees. This was a period when Parry would hear of the death FRI of many of his students at the front, and suffer himself FRI from depression. Parry died a month before the armistice, FRI and at his funeral was performed one of his last composed FRI works, his a cappella Songs of Farewell.
