SAT SAT Richard Blackford's The Great Animal Orchestra is inspired SAT by the work of American environmentalist and soundscape SAT recordist Bernie Krause. This five movement symphony SAT combines live orchestra with Krause's recordings from around SAT the world - including the Sumatran rainforest, American SAT Pacific tree frogs, African elephants and gorillas, and a SAT range of exotic, South American birds. SAT SAT Gustav Holst composed three movements of his Planets suite - SAT Mars, Venus and Jupiter - in 1914, so this performance marks SAT the centenary of this masterpiece's inception. From the SAT menacing start of Mars, the Bringer of War to the bewitching SAT fade-out of Neptune, the Mystic, it will be wonderful to SAT hear one of the greatest pieces of orchestral music ever SAT written in the Town Hall of Holst's home town. As the organ SAT in the Town Hall is currently out of action, the part will SAT be played in down the line from All Saints Church, where SAT Holst's father was choirmaster and where the composer SAT himself sang as a choirboy.

SUN SUN And his most recent book, Falling Upwards, all about the SUN daring and frequently terrifying adventures of the pioneers SUN of hot air ballooning, is just coming out in paperback. SUN SUN Richard's musical choices range from 13th century Gregorian SUN chant and French pastoral songs to Bernstein by way of SUN composer and astronomer William Herschel.

SUN SUN 17:30 Words and Music b0495nrf (Listen) SUN An Unquiet Mind SUN SUN From the madwoman in her attic to the troubled king SUN straining against the leashes of his medical attendants, the SUN depiction of what has historically been called madness has SUN been a common theme in art, music and literature. It has SUN engaged both those who have sought to share their own SUN experience of an unquiet mind and those who have used it to SUN explore complexity, colour and difference in their subjects. SUN Literary contributions in this programme include Cervantes' SUN Don Quixote, Mr Rochester's sad, bad first wife, Anna SUN Karenina and her self-destructive passion, and the Patrick SUN Hamilton character who knows only that he must kill. There's SUN a contemporary account of what it was like to be around SUN George III as his grasp on reason slipped away, and readings SUN about characters - such as Winston in Orwell's Nineteen SUN Eighty-four, driven mad by circumstances. We also look at SUN collective madness, the greatest example of which must SUN surely be war. SUN In music Berlioz describes obsessive love in his Symphonie SUN Fantastique, Strauss depicts the absurdities of Don Quixote SUN in his tone poem of the same name, and Peter Maxwell Davies SUN has his own take on the madness of George III in his 8 Songs SUN for a Mad King. There is also music by Britten, Gesualdo and SUN Nick Drake. SUN SUN Extracts are read by Katherine Parkinson and Greg Wise. SUN SUN Producer - Ellie Mant.

SUN SUN The Scottish Poet Hugh MacDiarmid, a passionate Scottish SUN Nationalist, was considered eccentric in the late 1920s for SUN his view on Scottish self-government. Most of Scotland's SUN leading writers and artists in the early 20th Century, from SUN J.M.Barrie to A.J.Cronin to Edwin Muir were Unionists of one SUN shade or another. SUN SUN In the 21st Century, Scotland's artists are playing a SUN central role in the Scottish Independence Debate- and many SUN of those who express an opinion have come out for Scottish SUN Independence. Stuart Kelly speaks to Denise Mina, Allan SUN Massie, David Greig and others to ask how and why so many of SUN Scotland's artists seem to have swung so heavily in one SUN direction and asks what their involvement will do to the SUN debate? SUN SUN 19:30 Radio 3 Live in Concert b0495nrk (Listen) SUN Melvyn Tan - Mozart, Muthel, Beethoven SUN SUN An evening at Finchcocks with pianist Melvyn Tan. SUN Melvyn Tan performs Mozart and Beethoven on two peerless SUN historic instruments of the type that the composers SUN themselves would have played. Well known for his persuasive SUN advocacy on behalf of the fortepiano, tonight Melvyn Tan SUN will explore the unique sound worlds of two Viennese-made SUN pianos, a Michael Rosenberger of around 1796 and a Johann SUN Fritz of 1814. Although constructed only a few years apart, SUN these two pianos seem to point in different directions: the SUN crispness of the Rosenberger harks back to the classical SUN instruments of Stein and Walter for which Mozart wrote many SUN of his keyboard sonatas whilst the more veiled sonority of SUN the Fritz draws us towards the romantic world of Beethoven SUN and his Moonlight Sonata. Once heard in the magical setting SUN at Finchcocks, this most famous of piano works might never SUN sound the same again.

Dittersdorf described his own music MON as "an ample and finely served food". His concertos, operas, MON string quartets, and over a hundred symphonies made him a MON rival to Haydn, in the late eighteenth century . It wasn't MON all glamour for Dittersdorf, who was born plain Carl MON Ditters. Hard work and the support of a number of princely MON and religious patrons eventuly brought him fame, elevation MON to the nobility, and that suitably grand augmentation to his MON surname. Success didn't last, though. During his final MON years, Dittersdorf's music went out of fashion and his once MON lavish lifestyle was gone forever. A few days before he MON died, he dictated his colourful autobiography to his son. MON MON Dittersdorf, born Carl Ditters in Vienna, soon started to MON outshine his older brother in music. He was a talented MON violinist and, when he was twelve, he became employed by an MON orchestra in one of Vienna's churches. During his career, he MON composed much music for the violin, including a Concerto in MON G major, and also his Divertimento in D major for violin, MON viola and cello. He didn't remain long employed by the MON Church; his talent was soon spotted by the aristocracy and MON an offer of employment came from Prince Joseph Friedrich von MON Saxe-Hildburghausen. Dittersdorf went to live with the MON Prince, where he received tuition in Latin, French, Italian MON and of course music. He also met numerous interesting MON artists at court, including many singers.

MON MON Trio di Clarone MON MON Having inspired 18th century composers such as Mozart to MON write seminal works in his concerto and quintet, the MON clarinet was still a relatively new instrument during the MON 19th century. Technological advances in instrument making MON rapidly brought it into the mainstream and later composers MON such as Mendelssohn were inspired by the virtuoso playing of MON performers such as his good friend Heinrich Baermann. Trio MON di Clarone have been exploring this music for many years and MON bring the fruits of their journey to Wigmore Hall in works MON by Mendelssohn, Bruch and Schumann.

TUE TUE As a teenager, Carl Dittersdorf was taken on by a local TUE Prince as a Page of the Chamber. At court, he was schooled TUE in languages, and received tuition not only in music, but TUE also dancing, riding, fencing and shooting. Dittersdorf TUE would also have been expected to take part in performances. TUE His musical talents were quickly recognised, and Carl began TUE receiving extra music lessons from court composer, Giuseppe TUE Bonno. However, as he grew older, a weakness for gambling TUE led the young man into terrible debts. He fled to Prague, TUE with his employer in pursuit.

He and TUE librettist David Harsent cast the story in two cyclical TUE acts, emphasising the ritual aspects of the epic saga, and TUE lending it hieratic force. The part of the Green Knight was TUE modelled on the range of Wotan, and is pitted against the TUE baritone Gawain. But is it Morgan Le Fay who is really TUE controlling events?

THU THU The Bishop of Grossvardein took on Dittersdorf as his THU orchestral conductor. This top-notch ensemble inspired THU Dittersdorf to compose many symphonies and concertos for THU performance, including his Concerto in B flat major for THU harpsichord and orchestra. This golden opportunity was not THU to last, though, with the Bishop eventually disbanding his THU orchestra due to scandal and intrigue. THU THU Help was at hand with another cleric, the Prince-Bishop of THU Breslau, who offered Dittersdorf a new job. At this time THU there were no musicians at this new court, so Dittersdorf THU was initially employed as Chief Forrester. The Prince-Bishop THU also sent off some of Dittersdorf's music to the Pope, THU possibly the Requiem in C minor, so that like Gluck and THU Mozart, Dittersdorf was invested with the Papal order of THU Knight of the Golden Spur. Further triumphs were soon to THU follow; his oratorio Ester was enjoyed by the Viennese, THU Emperor Joseph II, and Dittersdorf found himself elevated to THU the nobility by the Empress.
