At the beginning of the composer's centenary year, SAT the singer reflects on the greatness of Britten's vocal SAT music, so much of which was written for the tenor voice. SAT SAT Ian Bostridge brings his singer's experience and deep SAT intelligence to bear on a composer whose work has formed a SAT central part of his repertoire throughout his singing SAT career. SAT SAT He pays tribute to Peter Pears, whose lifelong SAT interpretation of Britten's music he greatly admires. SAT SAT He reflects on why Britten has never been fully absorbed SAT into the mainstream of classical music and considers whether SAT it has something to do with Britten's preoccupation with SAT troubled, alienated characters and situations - exemplified SAT in operas such as Peter Grimes and Turn of the Screw. SAT SAT The subjects of Britten's interest - the ostracized Peter SAT Grimes or the tortured Captain Vere in Billy Budd - are SAT powerfully characterized by the tenor voice. Between the SAT counter tenor and baritone, the tenor voice has the capacity SAT to express the nuances of Britten's musical language. SAT SAT In this programme - full of wonderful music from the song SAT cycles, the operas and the choral works - Ian Bostridge SAT contemplates the strangeness of Britten's genius. SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b01bs9dg (Listen) SAT The Roman de Fauvel SAT SAT Le Roman de Fauvel is a 14th Century text satirising the SAT tendency of the State and Church towards misrepresentation SAT and fraudulent behaviour. It reads like a great drama SAT divided into two parts. In the first part Fauvel, who is a SAT horse, determines to leave his stable and with the aid of SAT Dame Fortune, take over his master's house. In the second SAT part he is encouraged by Dame Fortune to marry a character SAT called Vain Glory. SAT SAT The Roman de Fauvel was a huge hit in its day and prompted SAT one copy - now in the Biblioth�que Nationale de France - SAT which attracted a wealth of music, written out alongside the SAT lavishly illumined text. One of the composers is known to SAT have been the great French musician Philippe de Vitry. SAT SAT The importance of Le Roman de Fauvel is profound. The SAT culmination of European Gothic Art, it is one of the best SAT examples from the medieval world of a spoken drama with SAT music, and is often referred to as the starting point of SAT Philippe de Vitry's Ars Nova. SAT SAT Catherine Bott looks back on the story and history of the SAT book with the medieval expert Emma Dillon, who has written a SAT book about Fauvel - and features a recording of its music by SAT the Boston Camerata directed by Joel Cohen. SAT SAT Translations from the text are read by Scott Handy and SAT Caroline Martin.

Director David Alden sets the events at the HMS SAT Indomitable, based on Herman Melville's novella, in a SAT claustrophobic and dark world where good and evil, innocence SAT and betrayal clash with tragic consequences. Edward Gardner SAT conducts a stellar cast, including the debut of Benedict SAT Nelson in the title role, the ever pure and charismatic, but SAT eventually doomed young sailor; Kim Begley as the tormented SAT Captain Vere, seeking redemption from his moral dilemma, and SAT Matthew Rose as the evil Master-at-Arms Claggart, who SAT masterminds Billy's unfair downfall.

SAT SAT 21:30 Between the Ears b01pz2rr (Listen) SAT Mighty Beast SAT SAT Sean Borodale's long poem, Mighty Beast, was created using SAT interviews, a range of voices and overheard conversations he SAT gathered from many visits to cattle markets in towns across SAT Somerset, where he lives. This radio documentary version is SAT told in the voice of the auctioneer: a brilliant, shifting SAT stream of patter that is by turns harsh, lyrical, cajoling, SAT admonitory and consoling. Through this tour de force of SAT poetic writing come the real voices of some of the people SAT who inspired the poem, men whose memories are of the gradual SAT gaining of skills and experience, of childhoods spent in a SAT landscape that has changed beyong retrieval, and the deep SAT love for the animals who provide their livelihood. These SAT voices, real and imagined, are given a rich and lyrical SAT soundscape created by composer Elizabeth Purnell. SAT SAT The auctioneer is played by Christopher Bianchi SAT The poem is written by Sean Borodale SAT The soundscape is created by Elizabeth Purnell SAT The Producer is Sara Davies.

The National SUN Gallery’s exhibition, Metamorphosis: Titian 2012, featured 3 SUN Titian paintings inspired by Ovid’s story of Diana and SUN Actaeon. Hapless Actaeon was turned into a stag by an angry SUN Diana and then hunted by his own hounds and torn to pieces. SUN And all because he’d accidentally stumbled on the goddess SUN bathing naked in a woodland pool. SUN SUN Linked to the National Gallery’s exhibition, The Royal SUN Ballet mounted 3 new ballets under the title of SUN Metamorphosis inspired by the Titian paintings. And, SUN coincidentally, Arthur Pita’s latest piece of dance theatre SUN was also on the subject of Metamorphosis, but this time SUN Kafka’s classic story was the inspiration. SUN SUN Seeing the Titian exhibition and going to the related SUN ballets, I started to wonder how it must feel to be turned SUN into a beetle or a stag or even a river with no warning and SUN I thought it would be interesting to see how writers and SUN musicians have explored the experience of transformation. SUN SUN I wanted to use actors who would convey the sense of SUN mischief and humour which I felt was often present in the SUN texts as well as the strangeness and the terror. Recently I SUN saw Meera Syal play Beatrice in the RSC’s Indian-set SUN production of Much Ado About Nothing, and in addition to the SUN infectious humour of her performance, I was struck by her SUN masterful handling of the Shakespeare and so I asked if she SUN might be interested in trying her hand at reading some SUN poetry on Radio 3, including some more Shakespeare. I was SUN thrilled when she agreed. Harry Hadden-Paton I knew to be a SUN sensitive and experienced poetry reader. Then last year I SUN saw him play Young Marlow in the National Theatre’s SUN production of She Stoops To Conquer, where he revealed a SUN delicious talent for comedy and I decided he would be SUN perfect casting for Metamorphosis. SUN SUN Harry’s reading of the opening of Kafka’s classic novella SUN starts the programme accompanied by an extract from the SUN fourth movement of Philip Glass’s piano work, Metamorphosis SUN – a piece which Glass adapted from music he wrote for a SUN theatrical production of Kafka’s story. SUN SUN Both Carol Ann Duffy and Jo Shapcott have written poems SUN inspired by the story of Thetis and I have included both. SUN Thetis is a Greek Nereid , or sea-nymph, with shape-shifting SUN powers. Sworn to chastity, she resisted the forceful SUN advances of the mortal King Peleus, but he’d been taught by SUN Proteus how to overcome her by binding her and holding on SUN tightly whatever shape she took and as a result of the SUN forced union she gave birth to Achilles. Both poems vividly SUN portray Thetis’s delight in her powers of metamorphosis SUN before she is caught and ravished. SUN SUN Seamus Heaney’s poem Actaeon was written in response to the SUN 3 Titian paintings featured in the National Gallery SUN exhibition: Diana and Actaeon, The Death of Actaeon and SUN Diana and Callisto. Titian, incidentally, referred to his SUN own paintings as visual poetry or ‘poesie’. SUN SUN Debussy’s work Syrinx (La Flute De Pan) was inspired by the SUN myth of a river-nymph (Syrinx) sworn to chastity and pursued SUN by the lustful Pan. She fled to the river and pleaded with SUN the water deities for help whereupon they changed her into a SUN water reed. Sad to lose his love, Pan cut the reed into SUN pieces and created his Pan Pipes out of her. Debussy’s SUN piece is believed to be the first unaccompanied flute solo SUN of the 20th century. SUN SUN It has to be said, the majority of metamorphic tales involve SUN male gods enforcing unwanted forms upon helpless females but SUN I have attempted to redress the balance with an extract from SUN Angela Carter’s magical realist story The Tiger’s Bride. SUN Returning to tales of female entrapment, I have included two SUN extracts from The Firebird, using its exquisite finale to SUN end the programme. The Firebird ballet was Stravinsky’s SUN first work for Diaghilev. Premiered in 1910, it made him SUN famous. It is the tale of Prince Ivan who falls in love SUN with the magical, glowing Firebird who has been bewitched by SUN the sorcerer Kastchei , together with 13 princesses. When SUN Ivan tries to rescue them, Kastchei attempts to turn him SUN into stone, but the magical feather the Firebird has given SUN Ivan helps him destroy the sorcerer and free the maidens. SUN SUN Stravinsky had originally approached the composer Nikolai SUN Tcherepnin to compose The Firebird. He started work on it, SUN but it seems the project came to nothing. Diaghilev did, SUN however, mount the ballet Narcisse in 1911, using music by SUN Tcherepnin and design by Bakst. It was based on Ovid’s SUN story of Echo and her unrequited love for Narcissus who is SUN eventually turned into a flower. The legendary Tamara SUN Karsavina, who created the role of The Firebird also starred SUN in this ballet. Meera and Harry take the parts of Echo and SUN Narcissus in Ted Hughes’s adaptation of Ovid’s story. SUN SUN Ovid was Shakespeare’s favourite poet and his influence can SUN be seen throughout his plays but perhaps most strongly in a SUN A Midsummer Night’s Dream . I have chosen extracts which SUN tell the story of Bottom being transformed into an ass, with SUN Meera giving a spirited reading of Puck and Harry doubling SUN as Oberon and Bottom. In addition I have used SUN Mendelssohn’s magical incidental music to the play and SUN Benjamin Britten’s opera version. SUN SUN Perhaps you can guess why I have included Julie Andrews SUN singing The Rain in Spain from My Fair Lady? Lerner and SUN Loewe’s musical was, of course, adapted from Shaw’s play SUN Pygmalion which was in turn inspired by Ovid’s tale of the SUN sculptor who fell in love with his own statue. I also SUN thought Jerry Herman’s song A Little More Mascara from his SUN musical La Cage Aux Folles deserved to be included, SUN telling of a drag queen’s nightly transformation from a SUN homely middle aged-man into his dazzling alter ego ‘Zaza’. SUN SUN Everything in nature is subject to change and decay but that SUN decay also leads to rebirth and this eternal mutability is SUN explored in poems by Shelley and Hardy and beautifully SUN ecapsulated in Ariel’s song ‘Full Fathom Five’ from The SUN Tempest, here sung hauntingly by Alfred Deller. SUN SUN Must being changed always be a bad thing? Not in the case of SUN Cadmus and his queen who were turned into a couple of snakes SUN and according to Matthew Arnold, are enjoying a happy SUN retirement on the Adriatic coast after the vicissitudes of SUN their former life and that, I thought, was a good place to SUN end this exploration of metamorphosis.

SUN SUN Margery Kempe, Gluck, Mark Rothko and Sophocles' Electra may SUN provide some of the answers.

SUN SUN 20:30 Drama on 3 b01pz96g (Listen) SUN Britten 100: Billy Budd - These Buttons We Wear SUN SUN The playwright Keith Dewhurst adapts Herman Melville's SUN powerful story of persecution and retribution in the SUN aftermath of the Naval Mutinies at Nore and Spithead in SUN 1797. He also tells the story of the man who wrote it. Part SUN of Radio 3's Britten centenary weekend, this play provides SUN an alternative context to Britten's opera, which is also SUN being broadcast on the station. Herman Melville was a man SUN who himself had more than a passing acquaintance with SUN mutiny. There was a history of it amongst his forebears and SUN his own escapades as a sailor in the South Pacific involved SUN him in a mutiny of his own. Starring Gerard Murphy, Robert SUN Portal and Monica Dolan and with effects specially recorded SUN off the Cornish coast, this is a story steeped in the naval SUN history of two nations. It is also a touching account of SUN creative aspiration, failed adventuring and a family haunted SUN by misfortune. SUN SUN Herman Melville ..... Gerard Murphy SUN Eleanor Melville .....

MON MON They're here to unpick YOUR questions about everything MON musical - with a host of musical examples from Mozart to MON Motorhead, the Ancient Greeks to the English Pastoralists, MON from violin sonatas to big band jazz and Indian ragas... MON MON Over five episodes, Sue and Tom will be looking at questions MON like why music makes us dance, why we divide it into 'major' MON and 'minor', and why there are eight (or should that be MON twelve?) notes in a scale...They'll be covering everything MON from from music history (why do people revere JS Bach so MON much?) to psychology (how can a simple sequence of notes MON stimulate our brains to feel emotion?) to music's global MON reach (does every culture use the same notes and rhythms?). MON MON And they need YOUR questions to answer throughout the MON series!

MON MON This major series rediscovers the Anglo-Saxons through vivid MON portraits of thirty key individuals. MON MON 16. Alcuin. Mary Garrison from York University tells the MON story of one of York's most influential sons, Alcuin. In the MON eighth century, Alcuin was one of the most learned and MON influential men of the early Middle Ages and was remembered MON by contemporaries as 'the most learned man anywhere to be MON found'. MON MON Mary paints a vivid portrait of this scholar whose legacy MON survives today in the liturgy and the style of manuscript MON lettering. His love of books created one of most important MON libraries of the middle age and he was one of the finest MON teachers of the eighth century. 'The light of understanding MON is natural to human minds', he said, 'just as flint has a MON spark within it by nature, but the understanding remains MON dormant like the spark in the flint without the frequent MON attention of the teacher.'

TUE TUE 14:00 Afternoon on 3 b01pz9w9 (Listen) TUE Ulster Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra TUE TUE Live from the Ulster Hall in Belfast, John Toal introduces TUE an Ulster Orchestra concert with BBC Radio 3 New Generation TUE Artist, soprano Ruby Hughes, and Finnish conductor Tuomas TUE Hannikainen. The concert centres on this week's themes of TUE music from the Nordic countries and music for voice and TUE orchestra. TUE TUE Sibelius was a twenty-seven year-old up-and-coming composer TUE when he received a commission from a local student society TUE to compose incidental music for a play in seven scenes that TUE celebrated the area of Karelia. The music he wrote included TUE today's overture. Sibelius had never written a theatre score TUE before, but it turned out to be the first in a very TUE distinguished series of works, culminating in 1925 with TUE incidental music to Shakespeare's The Tempest - music from TUE which brings today's live concert to a close. The Suite from TUE The Tempest has been especially compiled for this broadcast TUE by Tuomas Hannikainen, and features some numbers sung by TUE Ruby Hughes. She also performs two songs from Grieg's TUE incidental music to Ibsen's play Peer Gynt, Solveig's Song TUE and Cradle Song, as well as Britten's Four French Songs - TUE settings of texts by Paul Verlaine and Victor Hugo. The TUE teenage Britten composed them in 1928 as a 27th wedding TUE anniversary present for his parents, but they were not TUE performed until over fifty years later by the Belfast-born TUE soprano, Heather Harper. TUE TUE During the concert interval there's more music inspired by TUE Shakespeare, The King Lear Overture by Berlioz. And after TUE the concert, Katie Derham introduces more recent TUE performances by the Ulster Orchestra - including Bruch's TUE Scottish Fantasy, recorded in the Ulster Hall earlier this TUE month. The soloist is the Ulster Orchestra's leader Tamás TUE Kocsis. TUE TUE 2pm TUE Live from the Ulster Hall, Belfast TUE TUE Sibelius: Karelia Overture, Op. 10 TUE Grieg: Solveig's Song; Cradle Song (from Peer Gynt) TUE Britten: Quatre Chansons Françaises TUE Ruby Hughes (soprano), TUE Ulster Orchestra, TUE Tuomas Hannikainen (conductor).

Although written in relatively quick succession, TUE these three works offer great contrasts. Symphony No.39 is TUE full of wide, flowing melodies, whilst Symphony No.40 plumbs TUE deep emotional depths and is perhaps one of the most tragic TUE pieces that Mozart penned.

TUE TUE This major series rediscovers the Anglo-Saxons through vivid TUE portraits of thirty key individuals. TUE TUE Clare Stancliffe, from Durham University, captures the epic TUE life of Wilfred. He was born in Northumbria around 634 and TUE left home at 14 to care for a decrepit nobleman at Aidan's TUE monastery on Lindisfarne. But he held a desire to go on TUE pilgramage to Rome. It was in Rome that he experienced the TUE ceremonial style of liturgical music and vestments decorated TUE with silks and gold thread. He introduced the use of a TUE double choir into the Northumbrian church upon his return. TUE TUE His love of Roman ritual and style influenced his TUE architectural contribution to the church which can still be TUE seen in the crypt of Hexham Abbey. TUE TUE Producer: Sarah Taylor.

Macmillan and the UO are then joined by pianist WED Freddy Kempf in a performance of Prokofiev's brilliant if WED sometimes frenetic Third Piano Concerto. WED WED The Nordic piece today is Grieg's two beautiful Elegiac WED Melodies. They were originally songs for voice and piano, to WED texts by A O Vinje, from a group of Ten Songs Grieg wrote in WED 1880; he transcribed them for strings the following year. WED The subject matter is grief-laden - particularly in The Last WED Spring where Grieg portrays a dying man.

THU THU 14:00 Afternoon on 3 b01pz9wf (Listen) THU Chabrier: Le Roi malgré lui THU THU Today's Opera Matinee is a performance from the 2012 Wexford THU Festival - a festival renowned for staging rarely performed THU opera. Emmanuel Chabrier's effervescent three-act opéra THU comique of 1887, Le Roi Malgré Lui (King in Spite of Himself THU or The Reluctant King), is packed with beautiful solos and THU duets, vocal pyrotechnics and fun, lively choral pieces. THU Musical highlights include a large choral waltz in Act II THU and a colourful polonaise in Act III but the plot is almost THU hopelessly confusing and complex. THU It's 1573 and the Polish people have elected a French noble, THU Henri de Valois, to become their king but the Polish nobles THU led by Count Albert Laski would rather have the Archduke of THU Austria as king, so they conspire to rid Poland of Henri. To THU add to the intrigue, Henri is also the heir-apparent to the THU throne of France and he dislikes everything in Poland - even THU the climate in Krakow is miserable - so he joins the THU conspiracy to overthrow himself. Almost all the other THU characters in the opera are wrapped up in intrigue of trying THU to overthrow the Prince who pines for France but who finally THU gives in and accepts his fate. THU The libretto is by Emile de Najac and Paul Burani, revised THU by Jean Richepin and the composer himself, after the THU vaudeville of the same name written in 1836 by de THU Jacques-Arsène Ancelot (1794-1854).

Michael Wood on Alfred THU the Great, King of Wessex and king of the Anglo-Saxons. THU THU The Anglo Saxons are somewhat out of fashion, yet the half THU millennium between the creation of the English nation in THU around 550 and the Norman Conquest in 1066 was a formative THU one. THU THU A few years back, the BBC held a Great Britons debate. In THU the final ten were the usual suspects; Darwin, Newton Brunel THU and Shakespeare. Ultimately Churchill won the people's vote THU and landed first place. For Churchill though, the only THU person he considered truly 'Great' was Alfred, the founder THU of the English state and ancestor of our present Queen. THU THU Michael Wood chronicles Alfred's achievements: his writings; THU his reflections on kingship; his military skill; his THU rejuvenation of education and his legal expertise. Here are THU Alfred's own words about kingship. THU THU 'What I set out to do was to virtuously and justly THU administer the authority given to me. And I wanted to do it THU - so my talents and capacity might be remembered. But every THU natural gift in us soon withers if it is not ruled by THU wisdom. Without wisdom no talent can be fully realised: for THU to do something unwisely can hardly be accounted a skill. To THU be brief, I may say that it has always been my wish to live THU honourably, and after my death to leave to my descendents my THU memory in good works.' THU THU Producer: Sarah Taylor.

FRI FRI 14:00 Afternoon on 3 b01pz9wk (Listen) FRI Ulster Orchestra, Episode 4 FRI FRI Katie Derham showcases recent performances by the Ulster FRI Orchestra. The focus this week has been on music from Nordic FRI countries and music for voice and orchestra - today the two FRI themes come together in Christian Lindberg's Helikon Wasp FRI for conducting trombonist, narrator and orchestra. FRI The concert Lindberg conducted with the Ulster Orchestra in FRI October begins with the Helios Overture by Nielsen - FRI inspired by the Greek sun-god, Helios, a charioteer who FRI drives from east to west across the sky. Lindberg then FRI picked up his trombone to conduct and narrate his own work, FRI Helikon Wasp - who ever said only women can multitask? FRI Helikon Wasp is a theatrical piece which came to Lindberg in FRI a Swiss airport: "I had been playing a concert during which FRI I had felt rather disappointed with the empty FRI intellectualism that sometimes creeps into the world of FRI classical music... Helikon Wasp is a sort of hero who does FRI not have any convictions except doing whatever his mind and FRI soul tell him to do, and the thing he hates more than FRI anything else is intellectual mannerisms." And the Nordic FRI part of the programme ends with Sibelius's First Symphony - FRI or at least the first one he felt was enough like a Symphony FRI to give it a number. FRI FRI After that, we cross the Atlantic to the Americas for two FRI works with Jewish connections. The roots of Osvaldo FRI Golijov's The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind for FRI clarinet and string orchestra are deeply planted in Hebraic FRI tradition. Golijov's ambition was to fuse thematic elements FRI of the Jewish klezmer tradition with the kind of string FRI writing found in Brahms and Mozart. The programme ends with FRI Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F - surely one of the jazziest FRI pieces ever written by a Russian Jew from Brooklyn. Gerswhin FRI admitted that the pre-premiere performance of this concerto FRI was the "greatest musical thrill" of his life.

FRI FRI The Anglo Saxons are somewhat out of fashion, yet the half FRI millennium between the creation of the English nation in FRI around 550 and the Norman Conquest in 1066 was a formative FRI one. FRI FRI No. 20 Martin Carver on Aethelflaed, lady of the Mercians, FRI queen, mother and field marshal. There are 30 Aethelflaeds FRI in the surviving Anglo-Saxon records, but one stands out FRI about them all. Martin assesses Aethelflaed, Alfred's FRI daughter who played such an important role in English FRI history, yet is not as well known as she deserves to be. FRI With the help of written and archaelogical evidence, we gain FRI an intriguing insight into the life of this brilliant FRI tactician and leader, afraid of nothing and nobody.
