But above all else SAT he wanted to be a composer, and at the end of his life he SAT was to rue missed opportunities at the same time as he saw SAT his two sons - composer Andrew and 'cellist Julian - fulfil SAT their own musical dreams. SAT SAT In this programme marking the centenary of William Lloyd SAT Webber's birth, writer and broadcaster Andrew Green explores SAT why the dream shattered - but also re-examines the SAT passionate, romantic music Lloyd Webber left behind. SAT SAT William Lloyd Webber was a working-class boy who made good, SAT fired by the musical enthusiasms of his father - William Sr SAT was a plumber with a love of the organ. William Jr was a SAT nationally known organist by his early teens. The Royal SAT College of Music snapped him up as a teacher of music theory SAT as soon as his student years ended. But in 1948 he was to SAT give up one of London's most prestigious organist posts, at SAT All Saints, Margaret Street, to concentrate on composing. SAT SAT Not much more than ten years later, the ambition was in SAT tatters. Lloyd Webber wrote plenty of music, but his shy, SAT over-sensitive nature meant he so feared critics would SAT ridicule his romantic style that he all but abandoned SAT composing. SAT SAT With the help of such contributors as Andrew and Julian SAT Lloyd Webber, Sir Tim Rice and pianist John Lill, Andrew SAT Green unravels a complex character whose story is a mirror SAT to fashions in 20th-century music. That story was cruelly SAT cut short in 1982 just as William Lloyd Webber was SAT re-discovering his voice, inspired by a late love. SAT SAT Lloyd Webber's music perfectly illustrates his story, from SAT the introverted Fantasy Trio to the abandoned orchestral SAT tone poem, Aurora; from brilliant organ works to songs SAT brimming over with romantic ardour. SAT SAT 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert b04d1jc2 (Listen) SAT Europa Galante Play Vivaldi SAT SAT Violinist Fabio Biondi takes on the virtuoso role of Antonio SAT Vivaldi with his exciting early music ensemble Europa SAT Galante. This concert of Vivaldi Concertos - plus a sinfonia SAT or two to give Biondi a breather - was given last September SAT at the remarkable circular, domed concert hall of the SAT Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest, as part of the 2013 George SAT Enescu Festival. SAT SAT 14:00 Sound of Cinema b04d1jc4 (Listen) SAT Nino Rota, Part 1 SAT SAT Matthew Sweet presents the first of two programmes exploring SAT the rich art and dolce vita of the Italian film composer SAT Nino Rota. Matthew is joined by Richard Dyer, Professor of SAT Film Studies at Kings College London, who's the author of a SAT study of Rota called "Music, Film and Feeling". SAT SAT In today's programme Matthew and Richard take a general SAT overview of Rota's extensive output, including the scores SAT for "The Godfather", "War & Peace", "Rocco and his SAT brothers", "Purple Noon", "Treno Populare", "The Glass SAT Mountain" - and the Classic Score of the Week, Zeffirelli's SAT "Romeo and Juliet".

SAT SAT Contemporary music forms a key role in the ensemble's work, SAT and here the group celebrates the 80th birthdays of two SAT major British composers - Sir Harrison Birtwistle and Sir SAT Peter Maxwell Davies. Swedish trumpeter Håkan Hardenberger SAT is the soloist in Birtwistle's concerto Endless Parade, SAT whose dark, maze-like landscape is matched by the languorous SAT vistas of Honegger.

SUN SUN 12:00 Private Passions b04d1jqd (Listen) SUN Miles Jupp SUN SUN Miles Jupp burst onto the comedy scene when he won the 'So SUN You Think You're Funny' contest at the Edinburgh Festival at SUN the age of just twenty-one. He'd already, as an SUN undergraduate, won the part of Archie the Inventor in the SUN hugely popular children's television show Balamory, but he SUN eventually tired of wearing a pink kilt. Since then he has SUN established himself on the comedy circuit, and on radio and SUN television in panel shows including Have I Got News for You, SUN and comedies such as The Thick of It and Rev, where he plays SUN Nigel, the disapproving lay reader, who thinks he should be SUN running the church. He is usually to be found sending SUN himself up as a tweedy, middle class young fogey. As he SUN joked on a chatshow: "I'm privileged. Not just to be here SUN but in general." SUN SUN Miles talks to Michael Berkeley about the joys of cricket, SUN the pleasures of belting out a good tune and the legacy of SUN an intensely musical childhood, reflected in his choices of SUN music by Geoffrey Burgon, Chopin and Verdi. SUN SUN Produced by Jane Greenwood. SUN A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3. SUN SUN To hear previous episodes of Private Passions, please visit SUN http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/r3pp/all.

SUN SUN Mozart: Serenade in C minor, K388 SUN R Strauss: Suite in B flat major for 13 wind instruments SUN SUN London Winds SUN Michael Collins (clarinet / director) SUN SUN Richard Strauss was just 20 when he composed his Suite - and SUN steeped in the conservative musical traditions of his SUN horn-player father, who revered Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven SUN above all. It's a legacy present here in the young Strauss's SUN music, but developed and transformed into something SUN altogether more rich and strange. SUN Clarinettist Michael Collins and his ensemble London Winds SUN set Strauss and his favourite composer, Mozart, side by SUN side, presenting their very different takes on the SUN 18th-century 'Harmonie' ensemble of wind instruments, and SUN revealing the early seeds of Strauss's signature lyricism SUN that would eventually flower in Der Rosenkavalier. SUN SUN 14:00 The Early Music Show b04d1jqz (Listen) SUN How to be HIP SUN SUN Clare Salaman is fascinated by the continuing debate about SUN authenticity - or Historically Informed Practice (H.I.P) - SUN in Early Music. How can we be sure that performances are SUN historically accurate, and how important is it that they SUN are? SUN SUN Clare talks to Cat Mackintosh about early developments in SUN performance practice pioneered by David Munrow and his SUN contemporaries, and about Cat's own work with the Academy of SUN Ancient Music and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. SUN The baroque violinist Bjarte Eike tells her about his unique SUN approach with his group Barokksolistene.

SUN SUN 22:15 The Wire b01r99qm (Listen) SUN The Startling Truths of Old World Sparrows SUN SUN by Fiona Evans SUN SUN We swoop into the lives of Rhoda, Stan and Ron as the action SUN inter-cuts between three houses in the same street on a SUN freezing, snowy day. When there's a power cut each person is SUN faced with their worst fear. SUN SUN A prize-winning innovative drama based on verbatim SUN interviews with three elderly people, and in this new SUN production performed by children. SUN SUN Produced and directed by Pauline Harris. SUN SUN The producer and writer have interviewed three elderly SUN people over a period of time and woven their verbatim SUN interviews into this fictional day. Through the interviews SUN each person's worst fear emerged. This was not intentional, SUN but as it echoed in each interview it informed the narrative SUN organically, so that each character faces their worse fear. SUN SUN Rhoda's story: on the eve of her 80th birthday party, Rhoda SUN panics as the snow prevents her from going out, she's run SUN out of cigarettes, she can't get hold of her family, she's SUN worried for their safety in cars on the motorway, and then SUN the phone cuts out. She's suffered panic attacks all her SUN life. With an aneurism the size of a large orange, she's SUN certain she's going to die before her birthday. SUN SUN Stan locks and re-locks his door. To make sure. It's his SUN biggest fear - not to be able to defend his wife. He's had SUN seven heart attacks but he's not afraid. He used to fight SUN like a bear but it seems as though someone, or kids, or SUN people are trying to get in. First he thinks its kids SUN throwing snowballs but it seems it's more sinister. SUN SUN Since Ron's stroke, he lives alone in his wheelchair. He has SUN many different carers, a different one comes at breakfast, SUN another at lunch, and so on, each mealtime from 7 a.m. to 9 SUN p.m. when they put him to bed. They wheel him into the SUN living room, and there he stays until they wheel him out SUN again. But as the snow thickens, his carer is late. He can't SUN get to the phone - it's out of reach, and as each meal time SUN passes, he keeps waiting for a carer to arrive. SUN SUN The rendition by children aims to explore the close links of SUN elderly people and children; the vulnerability, simplicity, SUN fragility, resilience. SUN SUN First broadcast 16th March 2013. SUN SUN Writer: Fiona Evans SUN Rhoda: Sydney Wade SUN Stan: Daniel Kerr SUN Ron: Ellis Hollins SUN Producer: Pauline Harris SUN Director: Pauline Harris SUN SUN 23:00 New Generation Artists b04d4hmy (Listen) SUN Mark Simpson, Trish Clowes, Apollon Musagete Quartet SUN SUN Clemency Burton-Hill presents another programme in this SUN summer series showcasing the talents of the BBC's New SUN Generation Artists. SUN SUN As part of the BBC's commitment to developing and nurturing SUN young talent, BBC Radio 3 launched its New Generation SUN Artists scheme in the autumn of 1999. Now well into its SUN second decade, the scheme has acquired the reputation of SUN being a world leader for young artists. Every autumn six to SUN seven artists or groups who are beginning to make a mark on SUN the national and international music scene are invited to SUN join the scheme, which offers them unique opportunities to SUN develop their considerable talents. These include concerts SUN in London and around the UK, appearances and recordings with SUN the BBC Orchestras, special studio recordings for Radio 3, SUN and, last but not least, appearances at the Proms. SUN SUN There's a Polish flavour to tonight's programme, with music SUN by Penderecki, Lutoslawski and Panufnik, as well as the SUN fruits of a recent recording session by NGA jazz saxophonist SUN Trish Clowes and friends.

The orchestra and eight amplified soloists MON muse their way through an intricate and joyous web of MON quotations that frustrate interpretation even as they invite MON it.

MON MON 22:00 Sunday Feature b036j072 (Listen) MON Significant Others - Jewish Life in Poland, Episode 1 MON MON Writer Eva Hoffman examines the rich history and impact of a MON thousand years of Jewish presence in Poland and Polish MON attempts, since 1989, to re-connect to a people and history MON inextricable from their own. It is a story largely MON overshadowed by 6 years of annihilation on Polish soil by MON the occupying Nazis. Today we remember the loss. Poland as a MON graveyard.These two programmes explore vastly different MON worlds before and after destruction. MON MON This spring an impressive new museum telling the history of MON Jewish presence in Poland opened in Warsaw, once home to the MON largest Jewish population in Europe, now home to a few MON thousand Jewish souls. Chmielnik is a small town a few hours MON drive from Krakow. Once its population was 85% Jewish, now MON there are no Jews left in this former shtetl. Yet this June MON an elaborately restored synagogue and interactive new museum MON of the shtetl was unveiled, but who is it for? Perhaps for MON Poles anxious to reclaim a Jewish history that they MON increasingly now see as their own? For Israeli and other MON Jewish tourists who consider Poland usually as the end point MON of Jewish life rather than a place that has shaped Ashenazi MON Jewish identity around the world. MON MON This summer Krakow hosts its 23rd festival of Jewish culture MON festival in a city whose Jewish community numbers only in MON the 100's. Israeli funk bands, skateboarding Hassidic rabbis MON and workshops on anything from food to the most complex MON historical and religious issues run throughout. More people MON will attend than there are Polish Jews. The maxim now is' MON Small presence, big impact. MON For post Communist Poland re-connecting with their Jewish MON story, their Significant Others, has become a multi layered MON and sometimes startling process of rediscovery. MON MON The centuries that come before the 'wolfhound' 20th, are the MON story Eva Hoffman focuses on in the first programme. The MON rise of a Jewish civilization in the East that would go on MON to create a vast body of literature, culture and thought and MON whose fortunes were inextricably tied with the emerging MON story of Polish identity and nationhood. MON MON Jewish settlement, usually at the invitation of Polish MON nobility, was crucial to developing the vast lands. This was MON no small community of persecuted migrants but a people as at MON home in the lands of what would become the Polish Lithuanian MON Commonwealth as those of Polish, Ukrainian, Lithuanian and MON German origin. Here scholarship flourished in cities like MON Krakow whilst Jewish life flourished in 'shtetls', the MON unique phenomenon of almost entirely Jewish towns and MON villages later celebrated or denigrated in the great Yiddish MON literature of the late 19th and early 20th Century. All MON bound by faith, communal structures including the remarkable MON Council of the Four Lands and the transnational language of MON Yiddish. MON MON By the middle of the 16th century, about 80% of world Jewry MON lived on Polish lands. During this 'Golden Age', the word MON "Polin" - the Jewish name for Poland - could be interpreted MON to mean "Here though shall rest in exile" - in other words, MON that Poland was a second promised land. But for how long? MON MON Reader: Henry Goodman MON Producer: Mark Burman MON MON First broadcast July 2014.

MON MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 b04d4jzb (Listen) MON Wadada Leo Smith's Ten Freedom Summers MON MON Trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith performing pieces from his work MON Ten Freedom Summers at London's Cafe Oto. MON MON Ten Freedom Summers is seven hours of music inspired by the MON Civil Rights Movement. It's less of a suite in the MON traditional sense, more of a collection of compositions that MON Smith curates into different groupings according to mood and MON moment. Rigorously composed, but with plenty of room for MON free improvisation, pieces like Rosa Parks, Emmet Till and MON March On Washington provide a starkly dramatic signpost to MON key events and personalities in the struggle. It's an MON ambitious work, but one which rewards the listener with MON passages of extraordinary power and beauty, Smith's trumpet MON variously evoking the raw energy of the gospel preacher, the MON cut-glass quality of Miles Davis and the gnomic utterances MON of Sun Ra. MON MON After first broadcasting part of this performance in MON January, Jazz on 3 was inundated with requests for more - MON and this programme completes the set with previously unheard MON pieces.

Yet it still embodies the essence of England, and TUE according to Mark Wigglesworth it's full of nostalgia but TUE never sentimental, which makes for a fine line to tread. TUE TUE Exciting young British violinist Matthew Trusler continues TUE this Proms season selection of rarely heard violin concertos TUE with William Mathias's neglected work from 1991. TUE When Mathias died at the age of only 57, Wales lost a key TUE figure who had immersed himself in all aspects of the TUE country's music-making. He was already seriously ill when he TUE wrote the Violin Concerto, yet rather than any sense of TUE declining skills it possesses a remarkable drive, cut TUE through with elegiac writing that perhaps shows Mathias was TUE only too aware that this could be his own swansong. Matthew TUE Trusler gave the first performance since 1991 with BBC NOW TUE just a year ago to great acclaim, and now this virtuosic TUE celebration of song and dance receives its London premiere.

The 20th Century offered hard challenges for TUE Jewish Poles. Which language to speak? Yiddish or Polish? TUE Which faith to follow? The new politics of Zionism and TUE perhaps emigration? The defiant Yiddish voice of the TUE Socialist Bund? The creed of Communism or the continual TUE values of the Shtetl, the devotion of Hasidism, the TUE perpetual study of the Torah? TUE TUE Yiddish writing peaked with the work of I.L.Peretz, I.J. TUE Singer and Sholem Asch. Warsaw sounded to the hot jazz licks TUE of Addy Rosner and the dance tunes of Henryk Gold. Julian TUE Tuwim, writing in Polish, stunned all with his poetry and TUE yet was always aware of the contradictions of Jewish TUE identity in the new century. TUE TUE Despite the rise of Fascism on its borders and the TUE increasingly shrill nationalism at home, this land was still TUE the least worst place to be in Central Europe. Until TUE September 1st 1939. By 1945 the Nazis had done their best to TUE destroy the idea of Poland, as had the Soviets. Both had TUE killed its intelligentsia. The Germans had enslaved, starved TUE and slaughtered millions and gathered the Jews of Europe, TUE the majority of whom resided in Poland, to be murdered on TUE its soil. By 1947, after sporadic pogroms, what had been TUE Europe's largest Jewish community was now just 100,000. What TUE could its future be? The cruelties of the Cold War largely TUE decided its fate. Emigration to Israel and elsewhere TUE increased under the assault of official anti-semitic TUE persecution, culminating in mass expulsions in 1968. Jewish TUE identity was buried, whispered among families. A thousand TUE years of Polish Jewish presence seemed finally at an end. TUE TUE The decades since 1989 have been bewildering and unexpected. TUE The vast new Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw TUE opened this spring. It is the boldest statement yet that the TUE history and memory of its Signifcant Others has returned for TUE many in Poland. Elsewhere, Cracow's Jewish Festival is in TUE its 23rd year. Although there are more Polish migrants in TUE London than there are Jews in the whole of Poland, fledgling TUE Jewish communities in cities like Warsaw and Cracow now seem TUE at least viable. Perhaps Poland's most Significant Others TUE have truly returned to history and to a land that has helped TUE shape the world.

Tonight's Prom embodies his FRI searching musical personality as he conducts the BBC FRI Scottish Symphony Orchestra in an eclectic mix of music FRI ranging from the early 18th century to the present day. FRI FRI The first half juxtaposes music from a master of the French FRI baroque, Rameau's Les Indes galantes, with a colourful work FRI by the Anglo-American composer Bernard Rands. His Piano FRI Concerto is heard for the first time in the UK, played by FRI former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Jonathan Biss. FRI FRI While the second half begins with the elegant classicism of FRI Mozart's first numbered symphony. And - as the BBC Proms FRI continues to mark the 150th anniversary of Strauss's birth - FRI reaches a suitably heroic climax, with that composer's FRI vibrant tone poem Ein Heldenleben.

FRI FRI 22:15 Sunday Feature b03lzsfh (Listen) FRI Anything But Banal - The Fascination of the Villain FRI FRI With a nod to the Pantomime season, Paul Allen presents FRI 'Anything but Banal - The Fascination of the Villain'. FRI Hannah Arendt coined the phrase 'the banality of evil', but FRI drama, from the Greeks to The Sopranos, suggests it's FRI anything but. Evil is frighteningly attractive and exciting. FRI FRI Paul Allen explores the allure of evil through the great FRI villains, from Hollywood baddies to Shakespearean FRI antiheroes, with notable British actors, directors and FRI writers from stage and screen. FRI FRI He learns the art of playing the villain from Rory Kinnear, FRI Iago to Adrian Lester's Othello at the National Theatre this FRI year. Kinnear certainly disagrees with Coleridge's FRI description of Iago as a 'motiveless malignity'. Jonathan FRI Slinger reveals that Macbeth and Richard III, too, have FRI strong reasons for their violent actions. Nina FRI Kristoffersen, explains why, though Medea murders her FRI children, she is not simply a monster. FRI FRI Maxine Peake describes how she researched for her FRI performance of Myra Hindley, and the impact this had on her. FRI Stephanie Beacham, Sable Colby in Dynasty, and about to give FRI her Wicked Queen in Snow White in Birmingham, relishes the FRI power of playing the baddie who, after all, is always the FRI engine of the narrative. FRI FRI Paul talks, too, to Antony Sher, Henry Goodman and Timothy FRI West, who have played Richard III, Shylock, Hitler and FRI Stalin. FRI FRI Richard Eyre, directing 'Stephen Ward', Andrew Lloyd FRI Webber's new musical about the Profumo affair, explains how FRI a supposed villain can be the victim of a villainous society FRI and Alan Ayckbourn considers the delight and moral necessity FRI of creating venal characters. FRI FRI There's insight from Judi Dench, into the mind of Lady FRI Macbeth, and from Ian McKellen, who spoke to Paul Allen when FRI he was playing Richard III in 1990. And in a break from FRI rehearsing the National Theatre's forthcoming production of FRI King Lear, Kate Fleetwood, Anna Maxwell Martin and Sam FRI Troughton consider, Goneril, Regan and Edmund. FRI FRI Producer: Julian May FRI FRI First broadcast December 2013. FRI FRI 23:00 World on 3 b04d4t1c (Listen) FRI Mary Ann Kennedy with Nancy Kerr in Session FRI FRI Mary Ann Kennedy with tracks from across the globe, plus a FRI studio session with Nancy Kerr, one of the new voices in FRI English folk.
