SAT SAT Presented by Margaret Juntwait with commentary by Ira Siff. SAT SAT The Barber of Seville, Rossini's great comic opera, in SAT Bartlett Sher's English adaptation, SAT with Isabel Leonard as Rosina, Rodion Pogossov as Figaro and SAT Alek Shrader as Count Almaviva. Yves Abel conducts. SAT SAT Count Almaviva has disguised himself as a poor student in SAT the hope of persuading the beautiful Rosina to love him for SAT himself, rather than for his money. But there's a snag: SAT Rosina is the ward of grumpy old Dr. Bartolo, and he too has SAT plans to marry her. SAT The Count needs help, but crafty barber Figaro is on hand. SAT He suggests that the Count disguise himself as a drunken SAT soldier, ordered to be billeted with Dr. Bartolo, and so SAT gain entrance to his house.

SAT SAT 20:30 Warsaw Variations b018cg7v (Listen) SAT Panufnik and Lutoslawski were the great hopes of Polish SAT music at the outbreak of World War Two. SAT SAT During the Occupation, opportunities for musical development SAT were severely limited, but an artistic life sprang up in the SAT cafes and bars of Warsaw. For four years, Lutoslawski and SAT Panufnik made a living playing arrangements of popular and SAT classical tunes (most famously the Paganini variations) to SAT mixed audiences of music lovers, nationalist resisters and SAT cultured Wehrmacht officers. SAT SAT Warsaw Variations traces the experiences of these two young SAT musicians through the Occupation, the Warsaw Uprising (in SAT which virtually all their manuscripts were destroyed) and SAT into the era of Socialist Realism. SAT SAT Immediately following the war Panufnik was designated SAT 'Composer Number One'. But by 1954, he'd had enough of SAT pleasing the authorities and defected to Britain. SAT Lutoslawski stayed in Poland and emerged as one of the most SAT prominent composers of the late 20th Century. SAT SAT With contributions from two men with memories of Warsaw's SAT war-time cafe culture - actor and former waiter Witold SAT Sadowy and musicologist Wladyslaw Malinowski, as well as SAT Panufnik's widow, Lady Camilla Panufnik; the music scholar SAT and Lutoslawski expert Adrian Thomas; Panufnik's biographer SAT Beata Boleslawska, and a historian of Polish musical life SAT under the Nazis Katarzyna Naliwajek.

SAT SAT 21:00 The Wire b01pcq9z (Listen) SAT The Pythagorean Comma SAT SAT Loosely based on Jules Verne's story "Mr Ray Sharp and Miss SAT Me Flat", "The Pythagorean Comma" is a music drama with text SAT by Blake Morrison and music by Gavin Bryars. It's about one SAT of the oldest mysteries in the science of sound. The story SAT says Bryars, "has wit, whimsy, fantasy and magic and is also SAT about scientific experiment". SAT SAT Verne's story takes place in a 19th century Swiss village. SAT This contemporary take on the original is set on a remote SAT fictional Scottish island but the essential story is SAT unchanged. SAT SAT A village organist gets old and deaf and stops playing and SAT the organ falls silent. A mysterious stranger arrives who SAT not only plays the organ beautifully but also declares that SAT he will develop a new organ registration with the voices of SAT the children in the school. Each will have his or her own SAT note that has a special resonance. SAT SAT Though the children are musically untrained, the stranger SAT rehearses them with an iron discipline and prepares them for SAT a Christmas concert. It's at this concert that he SAT demonstrates his phenomenon of a "human organ". He tells the SAT children that he will make them famous and that they are a SAT choir like no other choir. SAT SAT A boy and girl who are arch rivals are given their special SAT notes. They're angry because this strange music maestro SAT seems to have given them the same note. However he explains SAT that there is a tiny beating sound between them - and this SAT difference is the Pythagorean Comma. The two children are SAT relieved that they have their own notes but strangely, once SAT they start to sing, their old rivalry disappears and it is SAT as if a new harmony has come to them and to the village in SAT general. SAT SAT The stranger seems to have a power over the choir and they SAT outperform everyone's expectations in a Christmas concert SAT for the island community. SAT SAT Composer Gavin Bryars and author Blake Morrison have SAT collaborated before on a Jules Verne story, 'Doctor Ox's SAT Experiment' - also about Verne's interest in music and SAT science. SAT SAT Gerda Stevenson stars as the narrator, Anna. She's the SAT church warden and mother of a child she christened Ian but SAT who now has the new name of Ray because his special note is SAT Ray sharp. She sees at first hand how the stranger brings SAT his gift of music. SAT SAT Anna ..... Gerda Stevenson SAT Irvine ..... Gerard McDermott SAT Kubiak ..... Renny Krupinski SAT Ray .....

SUN SUN Midas’ wish for an abundance of gold, granted by Bacchus, SUN here in Britten and Ted Hughes’ Metamorphoses, is a tale SUN which retains chilling resonance: simple greed with SUN complicated consequences. SUN SUN The dizzying swoon of Gerard Manley Hopkins, overwhelmed by SUN the glory of God and Nature’s beauty and bounty is reflected SUN in Delius’ scudding clouds and soughing winds whilst Aretha SUN Franklin’s song takes a phrase from the Psalms and applies SUN it to a more secular love, capturing a heart that swells SUN with love and pride like the mother here describing her SUN boy’s generosity with his birthday feast in a prisoner of SUN war camp. And Bach’s Aria begins the copia of the Goldberg SUN Variations. SUN SUN Feasting, food and maximum consumption just this side of SUN gluttony and disaster is celebrated: there’s chocolate from SUN the Nutcracker, Emma Bovary’s forays into high society SUN feasting, Chaucer’s Franklin’s epicurean flights and the SUN tantalising macaroni pies from The Leopard as well as a SUN taster of Dowland from the Musicall Banquet and a song from SUN the fifteenth century about La plus grant chière, “The SUN grandest banquet ever …”.

SUN SUN Fan mail is generally regarded as a modern phenomenon but, SUN in the early nineteenth century, Lord Byron received SUN hundreds of letters from ardent strangers. This SUN correspondence was indicative of a growing culture of SUN intimacy between reader and author in the Romantic period. SUN Although Byron struck an aristocratic pose of indifference SUN towards his fans, he secretly kept all their letters.

Jacques MON Offenbach is, after all, the man who gave us the can-can. MON Offenbach's music is largely a product of the Second Empire, MON a period that's popularly associated with a cynical, MON pleasure loving mood and the rule of Napoleon III. The MON politics of the world he lived in was fodder for a wealth of MON topical gags and daring allusions, parodies that audiences MON streamed through the doors of the Théâtre des MON Bouffes-Parisiens to watch. The triumph of "Orphée aux MON Enfers" in 1858 was followed by a breathtaking number of MON operas and operettas, the most successful, La Belle Hélène, MON La Vie Parisienne, Barbe-Bleue, La Grande-Duchess de MON Gérolstein and La Périchole, made him a fortune and took him MON to international fame. MON MON His facility to compose was extraordinary. He could write, MON orchestrate and produce a one-act work within the space of a MON week, happy to compose amid the noise of his family, wife MON and five children. Wherever he went, he wrote music, even in MON his coach, where he had a desk made so he could continue MON while he was moving between theatres. By the time of his MON death in 1880 he'd written over one hundred works for the MON stage. MON MON A thin, gaunt man, he struggled with painful gout and MON rheumatism all his life. Never weighing more than six MON stones, he nonetheless lived his life to the full, enjoying MON gambling, women, cigars and amateur dramatics whenever he MON could tear himself away from his multiple theatrical MON commitments. MON MON The advent of the Third Republic presented an artistic MON crossroads for Offenbach. The king of operetta found himself MON out of step with the changing tastes of theatre-goers. As he MON struggled to find a place for his music in the new order, he MON began to move towards a more profound style of musical MON expression. In 1877 he began work on what's now regarded as MON his masterpiece, Les Contes d'Hoffmann. Tragically, he died MON before completing it, at the age of 61. The task of MON finishing Offenbach's final statement was given to Ernest MON Guirard, and the restoration of Offenbach's reputation MON turned into a posthumous victory. MON MON In the first programme Donald Macleod traces Offenbach's MON roots back to Cologne, where he lived until the age of MON fourteen. Something of a child prodigy, it was his musical MON promise that encouraged his father to bring him to Paris, MON where pretty soon Offenbach was keen to make his mark as a MON composer.
