SAT SAT Based on Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake, Rossini's SAT opera illustrates the Romantic fascination with Renaissance SAT Scotland as a place of wild emotion and political SAT confrontation. SAT Elena, the Lady of the Lake, longs to be united with her SAT true love, Malcom. But her father, the rebel Duglas, is SAT determined that she will marry the Highland chief Rodrigo. SAT Torn between love and duty, she finds her plight is made all SAT the more complicated by Uberto, a handsome stranger who SAT nobody seems to know much about. SAT This new production by John Fulljames contains, in the words SAT of one critic, "some of the most spectacular singing to be SAT heard at Covent Garden for a while", and celebrates not only SAT the historic Scotland in which the action of the opera takes SAT place, but also the Scotland of the nineteenth century, the SAT period of Rossini and Sir Walter Scott (when fascination SAT with Scots history was at its height). The production SAT highlights the beauty of Scottish landscape, of which the SAT heroine, Elena, is a symbol, while not forgetting the SAT struggles and battles that feature in all retellings of SAT Scottish history.

SAT SAT 21:45 Between the Ears b02x91mf (Listen) SAT It's Just Where I Put My Words: A Voice Remembered SAT SAT The artist Sebastiane Hegarty explores voice, recording and SAT memory in a sound portrait of his mother, who died in 2011. SAT For more than four decades, Sebastiane made tapes of their SAT time together, from a coin operated record booth in SAT Liverpool in the late 1960s to their final recorded SAT conversation in a care home. His mother became an essential SAT part of his sound field, a voice and character woven into SAT his work. This programme is a new piece, a journey with a SAT voice through selected recordings and sound pieces. And, as SAT he goes through his audio snapshots, Sebastiane turns to SAT Camera Lucida, Roland Barthes' final book, in which the SAT author contemplates photographs of his recently deceased SAT mother. Failing to find "the truth of the face I had loved", SAT Barthes ends up questioning the ability of photographs to SAT "speak". But in his recordings, Sebastiane suggests, he does SAT find his mother, her essence, in "the hesitations, SAT inflections, stutters and errors." SAT SAT Producer: Chris Ledgard.

SUN SUN At the heart of this programme are a sequence of lyrical, SUN location-based "meditations", in which David reflects - in SUN his inimitable style and voice - about the ways in which the SUN Lindisfarne Gospels, and their creation on Lindisfarne SUN during the Anglo-Saxon era, laid the foundations for what it SUN means to be a North-Easterner today. SUN SUN The Lindisfarne Gospels are one of the world's greatest SUN books and among the most important works of European art of SUN the first millennium. Created on the Holy Island of SUN Lindisfarne around the year 700, they are normally housed in SUN the British Library in London, but for three months this SUN summer, the Gospels are returning to the North East for a SUN major exhibition in Durham. SUN SUN David Almond visits the British Library, Durham, Newcastle SUN and Lindisfarne itself - a location he has adored since his SUN boyhood - to explore the meaning of the Gospels to himself SUN and to his fellow North-Easterners. SUN SUN He talks with experts in early books and local people on the SUN island to find out more about the making of the Gospels, the SUN unique place they hold in terms of art, religion and SUN literature, the long journeys they have made in the past and SUN their "homecoming" this summer. SUN SUN David Almond is a writer of short stories and adult fiction SUN but is best known for his children's writing - above all, SUN Skellig and My Name is Mina. Amongst other awards, he has SUN won the Carnegie Medal, the Whitbread Children's Award, The SUN Michael L.Prinz Award, the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize SUN and and the Smarties Book Prize. SUN SUN Producer Beaty Rubens. SUN SUN 20:30 Drama on 3 b02x939n (Listen) SUN Babbage SUN SUN The truly extraordinary story of Charles Babbage, a SUN forgotten genius. One of the great scientific brains of the SUN nineteenth century, he first conceived the computer but died SUN a despised failure. A new play by David Pownall. SUN SUN Although most people today rely on their computers, few will SUN have little knowledge of Babbage. SUN This is a play with strong contemporary overtones as Babbage SUN is forced to constantly struggle against financial cuts and SUN restraints imposed by successive governments and a lack of SUN investment in scientific projects. SUN SUN Although failure and injustice have dogged the lives of many SUN inventors, Babbage really took terrible revenge upon SUN himself. At the beginning of the play, he is building his SUN analytical engine, the prototype of the modern computer, at SUN his house in Dorset Street, W1. When he learns his project SUN will no longer be funded by Government, he cracks and loses SUN the will to fight on. He is flat broke, exhausted, bitter SUN and disillusioned. If no one wants his computer, so be it. SUN Let the thing be scrapped. Only one friend is able to SUN imagine the future of the computer - Ada Lovelace, Byron's SUN daughter, poet, prophet, gambler and mathematician. SUN Following the early death of Babbage's wife, Ada is the most SUN important woman in his life, albeit she is married to an SUN aristocrat. Through thick and thin, illness and despair, SUN Babbage and Ada are a team in numbers, imagination and SUN dreams.

Featured ensembles this MON week are two BBC orchestras, the BBC Philharmonic and the MON BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and two brass bands - the MON Black Dyke and Foden's, performing at the 2013 Royal MON Northern College of Music Festival of Brass. MON MON Today's programme starts with a concert by the BBC MON Philharmonic under the baton of Andrew Davis with music by MON three giants of British music from the first half of the MON 20th century: Elgar, Delius and Vaughan Williams. And later MON in the programme you can hear the BBC Philharmonic in Arnold MON Bax's Third Symphony, under the baton of a great Bax MON enthusiast, the late Vernon Handley. MON MON Foden's Band play a virtuoso arrangement of Ravel's Suite MON No. 2 from the ballet Daphnis and Chloe, and the afternoon MON ends with more brass music: the world premiere of a piece by MON Edward Gregson called 'Of Distant Memories', performed by MON the Black Dyke Band. MON MON Tomorrow you can hear the first-ever broadcast of a Symphony MON written by the famous conductor Leopold Stokowski - a MON single-movement work probably composed around 100 years ago. MON Despite his name and his carefully cultivated eastern MON European accent, Stokowski was as British as they come - he MON was born in Marylebone, London, of an Irish mother and an MON English father of Polish extraction. Other British MON Symphonies this week are by York Bowen, Alan Rawsthorne, MON Kenneth Leighton and Peter Maxwell Davies. And our Thursday MON Opera Matinee, as part of Verdi 200, is a performance of one MON of Verdi's least often heard works, Aroldo.

MON Founded in 1969 by one of the modern pioneers of the MON instrument, Sigurd Raschèr, the quartet are renowned for MON their virtuosity - and a German critic has written "If there MON were an Olympic discipline for wind playing, the Raschèr MON Quartet would definitely receive a gold medal." In tonight's MON wide-ranging programme they give, with the BBC Singers, the MON British premieres of three of the many pieces they have MON commissioned from living composers. The Estonian Errki-Sven MON Tuür sets a Latin prayer by St Anselm of Canterbury, Giya MON Kancheli has based his piece on a variety of sacred texts MON from his native Georgia, while Belfast composer Ian Wilson MON sets words by the Austrian Expressionist poet and artist MON Oscar Kokoschka. Alongside these pieces, the BBC Singers MON perform two contemporary works for unaccompanied voices by MON Per Nørgård and Knut Nystedt, while the Raschèr Quartet MON demonstrate that four saxophones are just as well suited to MON the music of the Baroque as to contemporary scores. MON MON 22:00 Night Waves b02x94d0 (Listen) MON Continuing his modern Biritish history that began with MON 'Austerity Britain' and 'Family Britain' David Kynaston MON talks to Matthew Sweet about the third book in the series MON 'Modernity Britain : Opening the Box 1957 - 59.' This was a MON time when Britain had never had it so good, when it was cool MON to be working class and when Kynaston suggests that the MON modernity zeitgeist was born. MON MON 22:45 The Essay b0185ffn (Listen) MON The Writer's Dickens, Tessa Hadley - Rooms and Reality MON MON Five contemporary novelists examine the craft of Dickens's MON prose, and reflect on how the giant of British MON nineteenth-century fiction is both a role model and a shadow MON looming over their own writing. Taking as their starting MON point a favourite extract from one of Dickens's novels, each MON writer discuss Dickens's themes, narrative techniques and MON writing craft, and tells us what they themselves have learnt MON from it. They offer thoughtful, unusually engaged and MON focused critical appreciation of Dickens's skill, as well as MON valuable insights into their own work and how they MON themselves wrestle with the subject and technique under MON discussion. MON MON Beginning the series is Tessa Hadley, writing on Rooms and MON Reality. Taking as her starting point the description of the MON Clenham's house in Little Dorritt, she explores how Dickens MON paints the reality of his world through his characters' MON houses, and reflects on how significant houses are her own MON writing. MON MON Other writers in the series are A L Kennedy, Alexander McAll MON Smith, Romesh Gunesekera and Justin Cartwright. MON MON First broadcast in December 2011. MON MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 b02x94d2 (Listen) MON Home of the Brave, Chris Sharkey MON MON Jez Nelson presents new music from the Leeds jazz scene with MON acoustic quartet Home Of The Brave's unique take on the MON music of American Westerns and a solo set from guitarist MON Chris Sharkey. MON MON Freewheeling jazz from a four-piece inspired by the music of MON American Westerns and distorted solo improvisations on MON rock-pop classics – the two collide inside the tiny top room MON of a city-centre pub at one of Fusebox's monthly nights in MON Leeds. Continuing Jazz on 3's celebration of contemporary MON jazz from around the UK, the double bill of Home Of The MON Brave and Chris Sharkey demonstrates why the Yorkshire city MON continues to uphold such a strong reputation for MON accomplished alternative music. MON MON Headlining the night at the Fox & Newt, Home Of The Brave is MON the brainchild of Jazz Yorkshire's Musician of the Year in MON 2012, Richard Ormrod. The multi-reedsman has developed a MON love for the themes and harmonies of Western soundtracks by MON composers such as Bernstein and Morricone and with Paul MON Hession (drums), Jonny Flockton (guitar) and Rus Pearson MON (double bass) he brings something from those cinematic moods MON into this new experimental setting. MON MON Over the last two decades the city of Leeds has become home MON to one of the country's liveliest indie and alternative rock MON scenes and guitarist Chris Sharkey represents a key point of MON intersection with the worlds of jazz and improvised music. MON Here heard apart from the members of improvising math-jazz MON outfits Collider and Trio VD of which he is a member, MON Sharkey's solo set nevertheless packs a powerful punch MON amidst the more meditative moments.

Despite his name and TUE his carefully cultivated eastern European accent, Stokowski TUE was as British as they come - he was born in Marylebone, TUE London, of an Irish mother and an English father of Polish TUE extraction. Nobody knows exactly when he wrote his single TUE movement Symphony, but it was probably about 100 years ago, TUE when he was aged about 30.

TUE Reflecting his work with young musicians, the opening piece TUE is played by students from two London colleges - Sir Colin TUE held the Academy's International Chair of Conducting and TUE Orchestral Studies. His son Joseph Wolfe conducts Sir TUE Colin's beloved Berlioz, then Danish violinist and conductor TUE Nikolaj Znaider directs the LSO in Mozart - Sir Colin once TUE said "There is so much negative nonsense talked about TUE Mozart, but he is - well, he's life itself". Sir Colin and TUE Znaider had planned to play the work together. TUE TUE Following the interval, the work that first inspired the TUE teenage Colin Davis to become a conductor, directed by TUE Gordan Nikolich, who was Leader of the LSO for many years TUE under Sir Colin.

TUE TUE Rana Mitter begins by chairing a debate from the York TUE Festival of Ideas on the legacy of the War of the Roses TUE TUE In the year that Richard III's remains were identified TUE beneath a Leicester Car Park, Free Thinking is in York, the TUE seat of his power, to debate how the Wars of the Roses TUE shaped the country from the 15th century right up to the TUE present day - from the tough choices and trauma ordinary TUE people faced, to the role the conflict played in pushing TUE England towards modernity. TUE TUE The panel includes historian Mark Ormrod from University of TUE York and She-Wolves author Helen Castor TUE TUE The event is chaired by Night Waves presenter Rana Mitter TUE and was recorded earlier this month at the York Festival of TUE Ideas as part of BBC Radio 3's Free Thinking in the Summer TUE TUE Free Thinking is visiting four festivals throughout the TUE summer including HowTheLightGetsIn at Hay, the Institute TUE Français Philosophy Night in London, York Festival of Ideas TUE and the Chalke Valley History Festival in Wiltshire. These TUE events will be broadcast throughout June and July and lead TUE the way towards Free Thinking's annual weekend of debate at TUE the Sage, Gateshead in October 2013. TUE TUE 22:45 The Essay b0185ffb (Listen) TUE The Writer's Dickens, Romesh Gunesekera - The Orphan Eye TUE TUE Five contemporary novelists examine the craft of Dickens's TUE prose, and reflect on how the giant of British TUE nineteenth-century fiction is both a role model and a shadow TUE looming over their own writing. Taking as their starting TUE point a favourite extract from one of Dickens's novels, each TUE writer discuss Dickens's themes, narrative techniques and TUE writing craft, and tells us what they themselves have learnt TUE from it. They offer thoughtful, unusually engaged and TUE focused critical appreciation of Dickens's skill, as well as TUE valuable insights into their own work and how they TUE themselves wrestle with the subject and technique under TUE discussion. TUE TUE In the second essay in the series, Booker-shortlisted TUE novelist Romesh Gunesekera takes an extract from David TUE Copperfield as a starting point for an exploration of TUE Dickens's writing about childhood and the move from TUE childhood into adulthood, a theme which has been significant TUE in his own writing.

FRI FRI Today's programme charts Elgar's progress during and after FRI World War I. The blithe bluster of Carillon, written at the FRI beginning of the conflict, gives way to the deep melancholy FRI of the Cello Concerto, written at the other end of the FRI collective European nightmare. Within a year of the FRI concerto, Elgar's wife Alice died of undiagnosed lung cancer FRI and from that point on he completed no new works of FRI substance. He did, however, throw himself into a major FRI recording project, committing interpretations of much of his FRI own orchestral output to disc - the first such undertaking FRI by a composer.

FRI FRI The Fantasy Overture 'Romeo and Juliet' depicts FRI Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers in music of drama and huge FRI energy, while the composer himself described the inexorable FRI tread of his Fifth Symphony as "a complete resignation FRI before fate". In between, one of the most popular concertos FRI in the entire piano repertoire - a virtuoso showpiece FRI famously rejected by its dedicatee, Nikolai Rubinstein, who FRI later become one of its most passionate champions. FRI FRI 20:30 Twenty Minutes b02x9cmd (Listen) FRI The Ospreys of Loch Garten FRI FRI Nature writer Rob Cowen travels to the Abernethy Forest in FRI Scotland, the last tract of wild Caledonian Forest, to tell FRI the remarkable story of the rare and beautiful osprey, and FRI their recent return to the waters of Loch Garten. FRI FRI Ospreys were once a familar sight in Scotland, but were FRI hunted to extinction in the 19th century, but since the FRI 1950s, they have been making a tentative return to nest and FRI fish in the Abernethy Forest.

FRI FRI 22:45 The Essay b0185ffj (Listen) FRI The Writer's Dickens, Justin Cartwright - Christmas FRI FRI Five contemporary novelists examine the craft of Dickens's FRI prose, and reflect on how the giant of British FRI nineteenth-century fiction is both a role model and a shadow FRI looming over their own writing. Taking as their starting FRI point a favourite extract from one of Dickens's novels, each FRI writer discuss Dickens's themes, narrative techniques and FRI writing craft, and tells us what they themselves have learnt FRI from it. They offer thoughtful, unusually engaged and FRI focused critical appreciation of Dickens's skill, as well as FRI valuable insights into their own work and how they FRI themselves wrestle with the subject and technique under FRI discussion. FRI FRI In the final programme in the series, novelist Justin FRI Cartwright reflects on the significant place Christmas FRI occupies in Dickens's work, and argues that this is a direct FRI result of his experiences as a child and not simply an FRI expression of sentiment.
