SAT SAT 15:00 Saturday Classics b01qwgb9 (Listen) SAT The Story of Music, Lucy Worsley SAT SAT Lucy Worsley looks at music for the reign of George III SAT ending the series where well known historians present SAT musical narratives inspired by favourite historical periods. SAT SAT George III was one of the most musical of all the British SAT monarchs. He had a passion for Handel whom he met in his SAT youth and which prompted the composer to state that "While SAT the boy lives, my music will never want a protector". And so SAT it proved. Handel died before George came to the throne, but SAT nonetheless his court would feature a daily concert of SAT "ancient music" with Handel very much at its centre. SAT SAT In Lucy Worsley's selection of music for George III, Handel SAT features predominently, alongside music by Boyce, Arne, JC SAT Bach, Abel, Haydn and Mozart.

So SAT it's easy to forget that the score was declared unplayable, SAT and the story too scandalous and debauched for polite SAT society at its 1875 premiere. SAT SAT What upset the prim Parisians was that the low-life SAT characters, including factory workers, gypsies and soldiers, SAT are depicted without rose-tinted romanticism, the slaves of SAT their torrid passions. Jealousy, crime and murder dominate SAT in a Spanish setting that the French preferred to think of SAT as perfumed and exotic. SAT SAT But posterity gave Bizet the last laugh and star singers SAT have always been attracted to the roles, including Georgian SAT mezzo Anita Rachvelishvili, whose Carmen has become a bit of SAT a party piece, and Austrian tenor Nikolai Schukoff, who SAT makes his Met debut as Carmen's murderous lover, Don José SAT SAT Carmen.....Anita Rachvelishvili (mezzo-soprano) SAT Don Jose.....Nikolai Schukoff (tenor) SAT Micaela.....Ekaterina Scherbachenko (soprano) SAT Escamillo.....Ildar Abdrazakov (baritone) SAT Chorus and Orchestra of The Metroplitan Opera, New York SAT Michele Mariotti, conductor.

He began SUN his career as Chief Art Critic of the Independent, won the SUN inaugural Hawthornden Prize for Art Criticism in 1991, and SUN since 1999 has been Chief Art Correspondent of The Sunday SUN Telegraph. SUN SUN He has presented several landmark series on art for the BBC, SUN including A History of British Art, Renaissance, The Art of SUN Eternity, The Art of Spain, The Art of Russia and The Art of SUN Germany, as well as a film biography of Hogarth, Art That SUN Shook the World (a study of Impressionism), and The Secret SUN Lives of the Artists, three films re-evaluating the lives SUN and works of Caravaggio (of whom he has also published a SUN biography), Vermeer and Constable. He has also presented SUN documentaries about more recent artists including Jasper SUN Johns, Lucian Freud and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Since 2006 SUN he has been the face of the visual arts on BBC2's The SUN Culture Show. SUN SUN Andrew Graham-Dixon's musical tastes are equally SUN wide-ranging: a Schubert Impromptu he remembers his SUN grandmother playing and the great Chaconne from Bach's SUN Partita No.2 in D minor for solo violin; the opening of SUN Wagner's Das Rheingold, which he finds truly revolutionary; SUN Beethoven's A minor String Quartet Op.132, which to him SUN represents the essence of Romanticism in its expression of SUN invidual human feeling; to Keith Jarrett, whom he admires SUN for his improvisatory skills, Glenn Miller's In the Mood, SUN which, he says, is functional music guaranteed to cheer you SUN up, and The Sex Pistols' Anarchy in the UK, which he thinks SUN is the most important piece of British 20th-century music, SUN as destruction is central to our culture.

SUN SUN We start with the act of discovery at its most wonderful and SUN awe-inspiring: the moment Neil Armstrong stepped off the SUN ladder during the Apollo 11 moon landing. From there, after SUN tumbling through John Gillespie Magee Jr’s ‘sun-split SUN clouds’, there are glimpses of new, terrestrial lands evoked SUN by Sir Walter Raleigh, the intrepid crew of the Swallow from SUN Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons, the glimmering sunrise in SUN Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé and the figures cantering over the SUN prairie in Copland’s Billy the Kid. SUN SUN More often than not, travel and the discovery of new lands SUN also means self-discovery, as Milton’s Eve finds in the SUN Garden of Eden. In the everyday, but no less profound, SUN sense, becoming a parent triggers a change in Don Paterson SUN (Waking with Russell) in the instant his tiny son wakes and, SUN as they lie face to face, smiles in recognition of his SUN father. SUN SUN The thrill and conviction of scientific discovery is SUN represented by Charles Dickens and Sherlock Holmes- and SUN echoed in charming fashion by the Gershwins and Fred Astaire SUN in They All Laughed. Once Fred gets his girl there are SUN unpleasant discoveries of the heart resulting from the SUN waywardness of Theodor Fontane’s heroine Effie Briest, the SUN vengefulness of Mozart’s rudely-awoken Cupid and the SUN wilfulness of Jane Austen’s Emma. Showing that love can make SUN us see the world afresh are May Theilgaard Watts’ blissful SUN Vision and the soaring joy of Bernstein’s Tonight from West SUN Side Story, where Tony and Maria realise that the world is SUN no longer ‘just an address, a place for me to live in, no SUN better than alright’. SUN SUN Discovery of terminal illness tests Simon Gray in an extract SUN from his blackly funny memoir, Coda, and that quiet and wry SUN acceptance is followed by high drama as Sophocles’ Oedipus SUN the King discovers the truth, his anguish mirrored by the SUN restlessness of Bruckner’s 9th Symphony. SUN SUN Hardy’s Wife in London and Pip in Great Expectations also SUN discover the truth, after long periods of anxiety, and we SUN end with the fear of discovery and a letter from Anne Frank, SUN her bright words holding at bay, for now, the reality of the SUN world beyond the Secret Annexe. SUN SUN Producer: Serena Field SUN SUN 19:45 Sunday Feature b01qwgv2 (Listen) SUN The Idea of Sin, The Road to Redemption SUN SUN The Reverend Richard Coles visits Lincoln Cathedral, the SUN focus of Medieval pilgrimage, to begin the last of his SUN series exploring contemporary and historical ideas about SUN sin. Having looked at the central place Temptation still has SUN for many in both religious and secular societies the SUN attention now swings to methods of redemption, purification SUN and the goodness that is defined only by its counter to the SUN idea of sin. SUN SUN Bathing in the Ganges, Islamic Pilgrimage and the Hajj and SUN Christian pilgrimage are all constructed around notions of SUN cleansing and redemption. But Richard also hears from SUN figures from the environmental movement who suggest that SUN attitudes and actions to our natural world might also be SUN construed in terms which resonate with the conventional SUN spiritual ideas of redemption. SUN SUN Producer: Tom Alban.

MON MON Known today for little other than the song Ave Maria and the MON hugely popular opera Faust, Charles-François Gounod MON nevertheless holds an important place in the pantheon of MON French composers, not least for his skills as a melodist. MON Gounod was at least as popular for his religious works as he MON was for his operas and became a hugely respected figure in MON his later years. As a young man making his way in the world, MON Gounod struggled with his vocation, torn between church and MON theatre. Donald Macleod introduces works from those early MON years, including some of Gounod's early songs, part of his MON first stage work and the second of his rarely heard MON symphonies. MON MON 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert b01qwh0p (Listen) MON Live from Wigmore Hall, London.

MON MON 14:00 Afternoon on 3 b01qwh0r (Listen) MON BBC Philharmonic, Episode 1 MON MON Penny Gore presents recent performances by the BBC MON Philharmonic with a focus on Beethoven and on Benjamin MON Britten in his centenary year. MON MON Britten was born in 1913 and this year will see many MON centenary homages to him and his music. The juxtaposition MON with Beethoven throughout this week of Afternoon on 3 is an MON intriguing one, as Britten was by means complimentary about MON Beethoven's music. This is a chance to see what you think: MON does their music have anything or nothing in common? Is it MON in some ways opposite yet complementary? MON MON The BBC Philharmonic and Andrew Gourlay begin the week with MON a work by Britten's composition teacher, Frank Bridge, his MON symphonic poem Isabella based on Keats' poem. A set of songs MON by the fourteen year old Britten already shows more than MON mere promise: there's already a distinctive voice and a true MON flair for orchestral colour. BBC New Generation Artist Robin MON Tritschler sings his Four French Songs. Staying with things MON French, Andrew Gourlay returns to conduct a complete MON performance of Ravel's fairytale ballet, Mother Goose. MON MON The second part of today's programme is a concert given at MON Victoria Hall, Hanley - the BBC Philharmonic's most recent MON visit to the Potteries, with its Conductor Laureate, MON Gianandrea Noseda. It combines two French works - Fauré's MON music for Pelleas and Melisande and Ravel's G major Piano MON Concerto with Jean-Efflam Bavouzet as soloist - with MON Beethoven's mould-breaking Fifth Symphony, the first of MON three great Beethoven Symphonies over the next three days.

MON MON Also today, the continuation of The Story of Music in 50 MON pieces. Composer Howard Goodall, in conversation with Suzy MON Klein, explores his personal choice of 50 compositions that MON changed the course of music history.

MON MON 22:45 The Essay b0159g9l (Listen) MON The Darkest Hour, Margaret Drabble MON MON Insomnia is one of the great obsessions of our time. MON Writers, artists, thinkers and leaders have always battled MON with sleep - from Van Gogh to Oscar Wilde, Winston Churchill MON to Margaret Thatcher. Shakespeare's night owls are MON legendary, from Lady Macbeth to Brutus, while Charles MON Dickens' insomnia took him on nocturnal walks in search of MON inspiration. But in our 24-hour culture, insomnia - this MON ability to switch off - has become something of a modern MON obsession, with today's writers and bloggers thinking MON nothing of tapping away at keyboards or pounding the streets MON for solace in the wee small hours. MON MON In the first of this series, in which five night owls MON explore their own battles with sleeplessness, distinguished MON author Margaret Drabble looks at ageing and sleeplessness. MON She asks why, after years of insomnia, it's become something MON of an old friend to her, and extols the delights of the MON compensatory nap. MON MON This series will also feature John Sutherland on the rich MON history of insomnia in literature; A L Kennedy on finding MON the nights too thrilling for sleep; poet Michael Symmons MON Roberts on poetry and insomnia; and actor Juliet Stevenson MON on why a creative life often means a life in search of MON sleep. MON MON Producer: Justine Willett MON MON First broadcast in October 2011. MON MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 b01qwh41 (Listen) MON Hans Koller Ensemble MON MON Pianist and composer Hans Koller is something of a big-band MON specialist, so the task of writing new music inspired by the MON greatest jazz composer of them all - Gil Evans - couldn't be MON in better hands. Koller has spent much of the last two MON decades working with leading large ensembles in both the UK MON and Germany, including his own big band. He's put together a MON special version of that outfit for this performance, fronted MON by the electric guitars of Jakob Bro and Phil Robson and MON also featuring leading American drummer Jeff Williams. The MON music takes inspiration from Evans's approach rather than MON his style, developing through intuition and "happy accident" MON as much as forensically crafted combinations of instruments MON and sounds. The concert also features a second major new MON work, using text by the German Romantic poet Hölderlin and MON featuring vocalist Christine Tobin.

TUE TUE Ulster Orchestra TUE Igor Levit (piano) TUE Michal Dworzynski (conductor) TUE TUE Weber Oberon Overture TUE Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 15 in C TUE INTERVAL TUE Brahms Symphony No. 1, Op. 68 in C minor TUE TUE Oberon was Weber's last opera and he conducted the premiere TUE in London on April 12, 1826 - three days after completing TUE the overture, an orchestral showpiece which ties together TUE the musical themes from the opera and famously opens with a TUE solo from Oberon's magic horn. TUE TUE Igot Levit is one of BBC Radio 3's New Generation Artists. TUE He performs Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major. The TUE first movement of the C major Concerto is indebted to Mozart TUE but Beethoven adds a certain depth of harmony and an openly TUE virtuoso part for the soloist. The second movement is a TUE beautiful song and in the high spirited rondo-finale TUE Beethoven tips his hat towards Haydn. TUE TUE Schumann encouraged Brahms to start writing a symphony as TUE early as 1854, "If one only makes the beginning, then the TUE end comes of itself," he helpfully suggested. Brahms TUE attempted sketches in 1854; set down a first movement the TUE following year (but kept it mostly to himself); ignored TUE inquiries from conductors in 1863, 1864, and 1866; and in TUE 1870 hinted that he had made some progress beyond the first TUE movement. In 1874, he began two years of hard work TUE perfecting the symphony which he finally signed and dated TUE First Symphony in September 1876. It has become one of the TUE most performed all Brahms' symphonies and one of the most TUE loved works in romantic orchestral literature. It combines TUE technical accomplishment with profound emotion and beautiful TUE melody. TUE TUE 22:00 Night Waves b01qwhty (Listen) TUE Arts and cultural debate with Matthew Sweet.

Gounod was so inspired by the beauty and tranquillity WED of the countryside that he completed most of the opera WED within a month. He returned to Provence two years later and WED once again found the stimulus he needed to write his next WED opera, based on Shakespeare's tragic tale of star-crossed WED lovers.

WED WED 14:00 Afternoon on 3 b01qwhmh (Listen) WED BBC Philharmonic, Episode 3 WED WED Penny Gore presents recent performances by the BBC WED Philharmonic with a focus on Beethoven and on Benjamin WED Britten in his centenary year. WED WED Antonello Manacorda conducts the BBC Philharmonic in concert WED last month at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall. The centrepiece WED is one of the last pieces Britten worked on, Lachrymae. WED Based on two pieces by Dowland - also an anniversary WED composer (it's 450 years since he was born) - the music WED crystallises at the end to reveal Dowland's "If my WED complaints could passions move." The BBC Philharmonic's WED principal violist Steven Burnard is the soloist in this WED performance. WED WED Before it, we hear an homage by Estonian Arvo Pärt to the WED composer who he wished he had met and whose music he says WED "touched such a chord in me". Beethoven once commented that WED no-one could love the countryside as much as he did, and his WED most affectionate portrait of it ends our BBC Philharmonic WED concert today - a chance to compare and contrast the music WED of the two great 'B's being celebrated in this week of WED programmes.

Merula's WED canzonetta 'Now it is time to sleep' - depicting Mary's WED disturbed lullaby for her dying son, underpinned by an WED incessant ostinato that lays bare the rawness of her grief - WED gives way to the tender intertwining of violin and voice in WED Vivaldi's knowing 'Sovvente il Sole', and to his ecstatic WED and restless 'L'amoroso' and 'L'inquietudine' concertos. WED WED 20:10 Twenty Minutes b01qwj1p (Listen) WED Left High and Dry WED WED In 18th Century Italy, the craze for castrati singers WED reached its zenith and the boudaries of vocal music were WED forever changed. Thousands of pre-pubescent boys underwent WED the risky operation of castration to preserve their pure, WED high voice in the hope of finding fame and fortune as a WED celebrated virtuosi. WED WED For 1% of those boys like Senesino, the gamble paid off and WED their families secured a comfortable future. But what of the WED remaining 99%? WED WED Left High and Dry will chart the rise and fall of the WED Castrati to paint a portrait of Italian society at a time of WED extraordinary change. Looking beyond the well known tales of WED on stage diva antics and off stage sexual prowess as relayed WED by the likes of Casanova, Mary King explores the WED contradictory role that the church played in denying, WED encouraging and protecting the Castrati, the economic WED climate that encouraged families to effectively sell their WED sons into a life of music and the changes brought about by WED the Risorgimento which sounded the death knell for the WED Castrati. WED WED Presented by vocal coach and voice expert Mary King, artist WED in residence at the Southbank Centre and director of WED Voicelab.

THU THU 14:00 Afternoon on 3 b01qwhmk (Listen) THU Britten 100 THU Benjamin Britten: Owen Wingrave THU THU Based on a short story by Henry James - to whom Britten had THU turned for inspiration in a previous opera, The Turn of the THU Screw - Owen Wingrave is a Jamesian ghost story at one THU level, and a pacifist response to militarism in general and THU the Vietnam War in particular. THU THU Owen Wingrave is the last in a line of a family of proud and THU glorious soldiers - portraits of his ancestors adorn the THU walls of his family pile. Owen is being tutored in the art THU of war by Spencer Coyle, who runs a military cramming THU establishment, ahead of embarking on a traditional career in THU the military. THU THU But instead of being inspired by the tales of his ancestors, THU Owen is appalled and vows never to join the army. Friends THU and family try at first to persuade Owen to change his mind. THU When this doesn't work, they turn on him and one by one THU reject him - even his intended, Kate. Owen's grandfather, THU General Sir Philip Wingrave, in disgust at his supposed THU cowardice, disinherits him. Only Coyle realises how much THU Wingrave spirit Owen is showing by refusing to back down THU from his principles. THU THU Finally, Owen is challenged to prove his bravery in his THU pacifism by spending the night locked in a haunted room - a THU room where a Wingrave ancestor beat his own son to death for THU refusing to fight, before killing himself. A terrible scream THU is heard... THU THU Britten's pacifism was such a deeply held conviction that it THU was instrumental in him leaving the UK in 1939 for the USA. THU He and Peter Pears experienced at first hand the shame and THU pressure to comply with the demands of his countrymen THU fighting the Nazis, so much so that Britten and Pears did THU return to the UK in 1942 (on a convoy in the middle of the THU Battle of the Atlantic!) and the two of them then went THU through the process of being declared Conscientious THU Objectors, where Britten had to present his reasons for not THU fighting. In his deposition to the War Board who decided THU such applications, he stated "The whole of my life has been THU devoted to acts of creation and I cannot take part in acts THU of destruction". Fast forward to the late 60's and with the THU war in Vietnam being in the news every day, it's not THU surprising that Britten should once again be drawn to this THU subject matter in Owen Wingrave. THU THU Britten originally composed the opera for television; this THU Royal Opera production from 2007 used a version for reduced THU orchestra by David Matthews. THU THU Presented by Penny Gore, who follows Owen Wingrave with THU well-loved music from another Britten opera, played by this THU week's featured orchestra, the BBC Philharmonic.

The composer-conductor Matthias Pintscher and THU the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra perform a concert of THU music inspired by 'the dance'. The Beethoven Symphony is THU partnered with Berlioz's orchestration of Weber's THU 'Invitation to the Dance', and Johann Strauss II's THU thoroughly Viennese Overture to his operetta Die Fledermaus. THU THU Throughout the year the Orchestra has been exploring the THU unique contributions of composers from Poland, and this THU evening it is joined by Johannes Moser for a performance of THU Lutoslawski's Cello Concerto. To mark the composer's THU centenary year the German-born cellist takes on this work THU which grows from the pulsing of the cello alone to a musical THU drama pitting soloist against orchestra in a series of THU dramatic episodes which showcase Lutoslawki's deftly THU colourful orchestral palette.

THU THU 22:00 Night Waves b01qwhv4 (Listen) THU The Reichstag THU THU During the 14 years of the Weimar Republic Germany lurched THU from chaos to fragile democracy and then towards the THU catastrophe that was to come. It was in 1933, shortly after THU being appointed chancellor, that Hitler used the burning of THU the Reichstag parliament building - blamed on a Dutch THU communist - to strengthen his grip on power. He suspended THU civil liberties and cracked down on the opposition parties, THU paving the way for the police state. THU THU To coincide with a weekend of events at The Rest is Noise THU festival at London's South Bank Centre which will showcase THU different facets of 1930s Berlin, Anne McElvoy reassesses THU the transformation from a city of political possibilities THU and artistic excitement to its darkest chapter and asks THU whether, eighty years on, the symbolic torching of the THU Reichstag still resonates with Germans today.
