SUN SUN 12:00 Private Passions b01n6r08 (Listen) SUN Michele Roberts SUN SUN Michael Berkeley's guest on Private Passions is the novelist SUN and short story writer Michele Roberts. The child of a SUN French mother and English father, she was brought up and SUN still divides her time between the two countries. She SUN studied English at Oxford University, worked for the British SUN Council, and then became a writer. She is currently Emeritus SUN Professor of Creative Writing at the University of East SUN Anglia. SUN SUN She is the author of twelve highly acclaimed novels, SUN including 'Daughters of the House' (1992), which was SUN shortlisted for the Booker Prize and won the W H Smith SUN Literary Award; 'Flesh and Blood' (1994), 'The Looking SUN Glass' (2000), 'Reader, I Married Him' (2005), and her SUN latest novel, 'Ignorance' (2012), a war-time novel set in SUN France. She has also published a memoir, 'Paper Houses', SUN dealing with the themes that inform her novels - love, SUN feminist ideals and the legacy of her Catholic upbringing; SUN and a collection of short stories of sex and love, entitled SUN 'Mud' (2010). SUN SUN Music has always played an important part in Michele SUN Roberts's life, and her choices begin with Bach's Magnificat SUN and continue with an aria from Handel's cantata 'Donna, che SUN in ciel di tanta luce splendi', in praise of the Virgin SUN Mary. Michele says she wanted to be a nun as a teenager, and SUN became fascinated by female mystics and saints, including SUN Hildegard of Bingen. She loves Kathleen Ferrier's voice, SUN singing Handel's 'O Thou that tellest good tidings to Zion', SUN which she finds very comforting. She also appreciates the SUN voices of Alfred Deller, Jacques Brel and Bob Dylan, as well SUN as an Italian women partisans' song, Bella Ciao, which SUN appeals to her republican sympathies, and the Portuguese SUN fado singer Mariza. Her choices end as they began, with SUN Bach.

Their beliefs made an impact on the SUN personal life of both composers as well as their music. SUN Britten left for the USA and returned as a conscientious SUN objector. SUN SUN Tippett remained in England and refused conscription. His SUN response to the horrors of the 1930s had already been SUN expressed in his masterpiece A Child of Our Time, completed SUN when he was imprisoned in Wormwood Scrubs for his refusal to SUN serve the war effort. Britten's pacifism found its most SUN memorable expression in the War Requiem, commissioned for SUN the restoration of the bombed out Coventry Cathedral in SUN 1962. It also left its mark on many other works from his SUN early song cycle Our Hunting Fathers to his final opera Owen SUN Wingrave. SUN SUN However, many others such as the poets Auden and Spender, SUN novelists Rose Macaulay and Storm Jameson and philosophers SUN CEM Joad and Bertrand Russell were also caught up in the SUN debate about "the just war." SUN SUN Apart from archival statements from "cultural conchies" it SUN also features contributions from living composers, SUN politicians, writers and commentators, including Baroness SUN Shirley Williams, whose mother Vera Brittain founded the SUN Peace Pledge Union, literary critics Lara Feigel and SUN Valentine Cunningham, composer Alexander Goehr and the SUN president of the British Academy Sir Adam Roberts.

Equally SUN delightful is Tchaikovsky's tuneful tribute to the composers SUN of the eighteenth century. His 'Rococo Variations' are SUN performed by rising star of the cello, Philip Higham. Then SUN for the exotic, erotic atmosphere of Debussy's Prélude à SUN l'après-midi d'un faune in which a faun dreams of two SUN beautiful nymphs and wonders how best to savour the memory. SUN Glowingly orchestrated and replete with Stravinsky's SUN characteristic rhythmic drive and sense of colour, The SUN Firebird - a setting of a popular Russian fairy tale - SUN established him as the major new voice in twentieth-century SUN music. SUN SUN 22:00 Drama on 3 b03hk7r5 (Listen) SUN Bix: Singing The Blues SUN SUN The jazz musician Bix Beiderbecke (1903-1931) has been SUN described as a genius: how did he manage to create such SUN beautiful and influential music with such a troubled mind? SUN SUN Apart from their genius, the musicians Bix Beiderbecke and SUN Louis Armstrong had little in common. Armstrong was black SUN and Beiderbecke was white and musical segregation was SUN complete in the 1920's. Armstrong would go on to be one of SUN the first musicians to challenge this racial divide, and his SUN life story is well documented. Beiderbecke was an alcoholic SUN who died young - but perhaps his greatest tragedy was that SUN he never got to play with the best - because in his view the SUN best were black. SUN SUN Bix and Louis met on several occasions but only ever played SUN together once - in a private, after-hours session. Creating SUN a fictionalised version of that meeting, Robert Forrest's SUN play explores the heart and mind of Bix Beiderbecke and his SUN relationship with Louis Armstrong. SUN SUN After being close to death in 1959, Louis Armstrong is SUN quoted as saying, SUN 'Bix tried to get me a gig in Gabriel's band last night, but SUN it didn't work out.'

MON MON 12:00 Composer of the Week b03hk7z4 (Listen) MON Britten 100, Britten, the Boy from Lowestoft MON MON Britten, the boy from Lowestoft, becomes the enfant terrible MON of British music. MON MON From relatively humdrum origins in the coastal fishing port MON of Lowestoft, Benjamin Britten rose to become the MON pre-eminent British composer of his day, celebrated not just MON in his native land, but internationally. Although he MON initially saw himself as an outsider to the British musical MON establishment, he would rapidly transform music-making in MON Britain, introducing new sounds, and insisting on the MON highest standards of performance. By the time of his death MON in 1976, in the arms of his long-term companion Peter Pears, MON Britten was celebrated as a composer of operas, string MON quartets and song cycles, and of a War Requiem that touched MON the hearts of millions of listeners around the world. MON MON Born in Lowestoft on St Cecilia's Day (the patron saint of MON music) on November 22 1913, the son of a dentist and a MON doting mother, Britten soon demonstrated prodigious musical MON gifts. Composing from at least the age of six, Britten would MON often mine his early manuscripts for inspiration. As a boy, MON Britten managed to impress the composer Frank Bridge, who MON took him on as a pupil (and to whom he payed tribute in his MON Variations on a Theme by Frank Bridge). Later, Britten would MON enter the Royal College of Music, to be taught composition MON by John Ireland and piano by Arthur Benjamin. MON MON At the age of 19 Britten delighted his dying father with the MON prospect of having one of his compositions played on the MON BBC. 'Son, how does it feel?' asked his father. MON MON By 1936, Britten had a number of published works to his MON name. Now employed to write film music for the innovative MON GPO film unit, he was introduced to the dazzling presence of MON poet WH Auden while working on films about postage stamps or MON coal trucks. Their collaborations for film were adventurous; MON even more daring was the song cycle they devised, reflecting MON man's relationship with the animal kingdom. With Our Hunting MON Fathers Britten truly felt that he had written his Opus 1. MON Unfortunately, the critics and the orchestra rather wished MON he hadn't bothered!

MON MON Written for the Paris Opera in 1855, Verdi adopted the MON elaborate styles and traditions of French Grand opera in Les MON Vêpres Siciliennes. It is a tale of family relationships, MON loyalty, patriotism and revenge. MON Based on a story set in 1282, Sicily has been invaded by the MON French, and the Duchess Hélène (sung by soprano Lianna MON Haroutounian) is being held hostage by Montfort (baritone MON Michael Volle), the French Governor. Hélène reveals that her MON brother was executed by Montfort and she is seeking revenge, MON and is assured by Henri (tenor Bryan Hymel) how deeply he MON despises Montfort, although he does not realise that he is MON Montfort's son. Procida (bass Erwin Schrott) is a Sicilian, MON also seeking revenge after the French attack, and he MON involves Henri and Hélène in a plot to assassinate Montfort. MON However, once he knows he is Montfort's son, Henri is torn MON between his love for Hélène and his loyalty to his father MON and country, and ultimately this predicament leads to MON everybody losing everything.

THU THU Britten has become almost synonymous with Aldburgh, after THU moving to the coastal town and making it his home. There he THU and Pears conceived the idea of a small-scale festival to THU perform works by Britten and other composers. Among these THU would be chamber operas, such as the comic masterpiece THU Albert Herring. THU THU Although, financially, Britten was better off than ever, he THU had more than his share of critical failures. As Donald THU explains, it was in a state of depression in 1949 that he THU struggled to write his Spring Symphony, the first movement THU somehow echoing the bleakness of his mood. THU THU Always a man with several projects on the go, it was while THU working on the score for Billy Budd that Britten wrote the THU exquisitely beautiful second canticle, Abraham and Isaac, THU for the voices of Peter Pears and Kathleen Ferrier. Sadly, THU Ferrier succumbed to cancer before she was able to record THU the work for posterity. THU THU Donald ends today's story with the strange tale of abused THU children and a ghostly presence. With the Turn of the Screw, THU Britten discovered a future film star of the 1960s (David THU Hemmings), and took Venice by storm.

THU The concert opens with Britten's Symphonic Suite 'Gloriana', THU extracted from his coronation opera, it depicts scenes of THU Elizabethan tournaments and courtly dance. THU THU The orchestra is joined by soprano Elizabeth Watts for a THU performance of Britten's early song cycle, written before THU his 15th birthday, the 1928 Quatre Chansons Françaises. In THU this quartet of songs, Britten sets atmospheric French texts THU by Victor Hugo and Paul Verlaine, ranging in theme from the THU heady scents of a summer night to the rough tossing of an THU autumn wind. THU THU The second half of the concert features a symphony first THU encountered by Britten only two years after the composition THU of the 4 French Songs, Mahler's Symphony No 4, to which the THU young composer responded: '...what I heard was not what I THU had expected to hear ... the scoring startled me... The THU colouring seemed calculated to the smallest shade, and the THU result was wonderfully resonant.'.

FRI FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week b03hk8cq (Listen) FRI Britten 100, Final Years and Late Masterpieces FRI FRI His health in decline, Britten produces his final FRI masterpieces. FRI FRI By the late 1950s and the early 1960s Britten's pacifism was FRI no longer a particularly eccentric position to hold. A FRI supporter of the Peace Movement, Britten was delighted to be FRI commissioned to write a piece to mark the opening of the FRI rebuilt Coventry Cathedral. That piece, the War Requiem, FRI would become one of the fastest selling classical records of FRI all time! One inspiration throughout the 1960s was cellist FRI Mstislav Rostropovich. Despite linguistic differences (they FRI spoke in 'Aldeburgh Deutsch') they got on famously well, and FRI among other things Britten composed a Cello Symphony in FRI Rostropovich's honour. FRI FRI Dogged by increasingly frail health, Britten struggled to FRI complete his final opera, Death in Venice. And yet, despite FRI increasingly insistent intimations of his own mortality, his FRI last years witnessed an extraordinary burst of creativity, FRI including a chamber cantata, Phaedra. FRI FRI Donald concludes this week's look at the life and music of FRI Benjamin Britten with the last two movements of one of the FRI last pieces he completed: his third string quartet.

FRI Sean and his guests will be reflecting on the integral FRI connection between Britten's music and his Suffolk FRI surroundings, and two local children's choirs will give the FRI world premieres of works by young composers Tom Rose and FRI Emily Hall. FRI FRI From the actual afternoon of Benjamin Britten's 100th FRI birthday on Friday 22 November until the following Sunday FRI evening, Radio 3 will be relocating to Suffolk, the county FRI of Britten's birth and where he felt most firmly rooted. FRI Based in Snape Maltings, where Britten created one of the FRI UK's finest concert halls, it will be a weekend packed with FRI broadcasts of live and specially recorded performances from FRI Suffolk venues, including those in Aldeburgh, Snape, Orford FRI and the town of Britten's birth, Lowestoft. FRI FRI There will also be features, discussions, contributions from FRI those who knew and worked with Britten, plus his recordings FRI both of his and others' music, bringing to life Britten the FRI composer, Britten the performer and Britten the man. FRI FRI The weekend will include selections from two sepcially FRI recorded interviews excerpted for broadcast and available FRI online in full: FRI FRI Pianist Murray Perahia talks about his unique insight into FRI Britten's extraordinary piano playing. When he took over FRI from Britten as Peter Pears' accompanist, Perahia received FRI personal coaching from the composer. FRI FRI Marion Thorpe, one of Britten's closest friends, reveals a FRI very personal portrait of the composer she knew so well. FRI FRI Twelve mini-features get closer to Britten the man. 'Britten FRI at Home' looks at Britten and Cars, Sport, Pets, Food, FRI Clothes, Games, while 'Britten's Suffolk' explores the FRI importance to Britten of his environment and look at The FRI Sea, Churches, Lowestoft and Greshams, Aldeburgh, The Red FRI House, The Maltings.

Since first meeting Britten as a young child, to FRI becoming Artistic Director of the Aldeburgh Festival, and FRI helping to shape the Britten-Pears School, the FRI composer-conductor has been inextricably linked with FRI Britten's legacy. Any Knussen concert is special but this FRI one, coming from the superb Snape Maltings Concert Hall, FRI created by Britten himself, is unmissable with its FRI combination of the rarely heard, well-known and new. FRI FRI The concert's first part has the ebullient Cantata FRI Academica, whose tongue-in-cheek title has surely kept it a FRI rarity, and the famous Sea Interludes and Passacaglia from FRI Peter Grimes. A specially commissioned world premiere by FRI Ryan Wigglesworth starts the second half which ends with FRI Britten's first major orchestral work, the Spring Symphony. FRI It's a vibrant celebration of the seasons, with wonderful FRI settings of English poetry (and cow-horn), the perfect piece FRI to end a special occasion.
