In his SAT new book on Bach, 'Music in the Castle of Heaven', Sir John SAT Eliot offers a portrait of this most enigmatic musical SAT genius. He tells Tom how a Silesian refugee arrived at his SAT family farm in Dorset in 1936 with two items of luggage: a SAT guitar and the celebrated portrait of Bach by Haussmann, SAT which led to Sir John Eliot growing up 'under the Cantor's SAT gaze'. It was the start of a lifetime's fascination with SAT Bach, the man and his music, and Sir John Eliot recalls his SAT frustration at the 'precious' way his music was performed SAT during his university years at Cambridge in the 1960S. SAT Biographical information on Bach is sparse, but Sir John SAT Eliot tells Tom how his research paints a picture of a SAT rebellious man, perhaps thuggish in his teenaged years, with SAT a mania for composition. Bach's Cantatas, Passions and SAT Motets, Sir John Eliot argues, offer the most revealing SAT glimpses of the composer: passionate, querulous, self- SAT castigating but also one who believed he had been selected SAT by God to create a new and glorious music.

SAT SAT The Phibbies, as they are also known, practise in the SAT dramatic harbour of Broughty Ferry, Dundee's posher SAT neighbour; splashing and diving through the sea weedy water SAT in the shadow of the castle. The members regularly plunge SAT into the broad waters of the Tay - not least for the New SAT Year's Day Dook - racing, training, squealing and shouting. SAT It's a fresh air frolic for the hardy, and those beloved of SAT the open water swimming without the chlorine and SAT formaldehyde of the indoor pool. SAT SAT With official names such as Chief Ancients, Scribes, and a SAT Purse Bearer, the club relishes its history. Netta Spence, SAT still Honorary Chief of the Phibbies, recalls how in 1950, SAT at the age of 17, she and some school friends fancied doing SAT the 'Tay Swim', not attempted since before the war. She SAT reckons her time was about 37 minutes, not bad for someone SAT chatting to her boat man the whole way across. "I am a bit SAT of a chatterer". SAT The Tay Swim involves crossing the tidal waters right across SAT the width of the river from Broughty Ferry to Tayport, SAT accompanied by a fisherman in a cobble as a safety vessel. SAT Back then, Netta says proudly, they used engine grease SAT rather than vaseline. You also had to avoid not only seals, SAT jellyfish, and sailing boats, but the steam ferry too. Today SAT the ship yards are closed down and the ferry long gone, but SAT breast stroke swimmer Heather Miller never tires of the SAT riverside views. SAT SAT Scott Goodfellow, who grew up close to the pier where the SAT swimmers head out, and used to peer through the windows of SAT the old boat house as a child, wondering what on earth an SAT Ancient could be, finally plucks up courage to join the SAT members on a practise swim out in the harbour. Not for the SAT fainthearted! SAT SAT Presenter: Scott Goodfellow SAT Producer: Sara Jane Hall.

TUE TUE 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert b03t0ccx (Listen) TUE Music from Ireland, Episode 1 TUE TUE This week's series of Lunchtime Concerts features concerts TUE recorded in Dublin, Belfast and Omagh. The members of the TUE Capuçon Trio performed an all-Fauré programme in Dublin's TUE National Concert Hall last spring. Meanwhile, BBC Radio 3 TUE New Generation Artists, the Danish Quartet took part in TUE Moving on Music's Tour of Northern Ireland during the TUE autumn. Today a violin sonata by Fauré and a string quartet TUE by Haydn. TUE The first of Fauré's two violin sonatas, the Sonata in A TUE major, Op. 13, was written in 1875 and 1876. Dedicated to TUE Paul Viardot, the son of the singer Pauline Viardot and TUE brother of the girl to whom Fauré was briefly engaged, it is TUE considered one of his early masterpieces. Youthfulness, TUE elegance and the ease of the melody, for which Fauré became TUE synonymous, are apparent from the beginning. Haydn's F minor TUE string quartet, written in 1771, goes back to the earliest TUE days of the string quartet. Throughout the six quartets that TUE make up Opus 20 Haydn introduces compositional techniques TUE that were to shape and define the genre. The set is renowned TUE for the range and contrast of emotion explored in each TUE quarter. The sorrowful No.5 in F minor is one of the best TUE known and immediately recognisable from its opening elegiac TUE main theme. TUE TUE Fauré: Violin Sonata No. 1 in A major, Op. 13 TUE Renaud Capuçon, violin; Michel Dalberto, piano TUE TUE Haydn: String Quartet Op 20 No. 5 TUE Danish String Quartet TUE Frederik Øland, violin; Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen, violin; TUE Asbjørn Nørgaard, viola; Fredrik Schøyen Sjölin, cello.

TUE TUE The first half juxtaposes music from a master of the French TUE baroque, Rameau's Les Indes galantes, with a colourful work TUE by the Anglo-American composer Bernard Rands. His Piano TUE Concerto is heard for the first time in the UK, played by TUE former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Jonathan Biss. TUE TUE The second half begins with the elegant classicism of TUE Mozart's first numbered symphony. And - as the BBC Proms TUE continues to mark the 150th anniversary of Richard Strauss's TUE birth - reaches a suitably heroic climax, with that TUE composer's vibrant tone poem Ein Heldenleben.

TUE TUE Andrew Hussey interviews confidants and colleagues from TUE Camus' Parisian days, as well as his daughter at the TUE Provencal family home. He uncovers a web of contradictions. TUE TUE From the dusty backstreets of Algiers to the smoky TUE Existentialist cafes of the Left Bank in wartime Paris; from TUE the Nobel ceremony in Stockholm to the twisted car wreckage TUE near Sens, Camus' story grips and dazzles just as do the TUE novels we remember him for today: The Outsider, The Plague TUE and The Fall. TUE TUE A man of principle intent on resisting the Nazis and TUE liberating occupied Paris, yet unable to back the cause of TUE Algerian independence and branded a reactionary; the life TUE and soul of any party, prone to depression and craving TUE solitude. A family man whose high profile affairs drove his TUE wife to attempt suicide. TUE TUE And that fatal car crash...That may have been no TUE accident...Enter the KGB... TUE TUE Incorporating rare archive of Camus reading from his novels TUE and acclaimed writers musing on their startling narrative TUE power, the programme also confronts the darker side of TUE Camus' reputation. TUE Probing Algerian and European thinkers on the vilification TUE of Camus as a colonialist, Hussey unearths a virtual smear TUE campaign that kept literary rival Jean Paul Sartre's star in TUE the ascendant and Camus' low on the horizon. But now it is TUE Camus' works that have stood the test of time to thrill and TUE inspire a new 21st century generation of readers, and his TUE philosophy of tolerance and moderation that speaks to TUE today's ever more troubled age.

The invention of the Nocturne is THU attributed to the Irishman, John Field and Fauré uses the THU form to present his profound writing for piano. Dalbeto THU begins with the bleak and almost despairing, Nocturne No 7 THU and couples it with the Nocturne No. 6 which is one of THU Fauré's most loved works, perhaps because of its achingly THU beautiful opening theme. THU BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists, the Danish Quartet THU presented Mendelssohn's String Quartet in A minor at the THU Strule Arts Centre in Omagh as part of the musician's tour THU of Northern Ireland presented by Moving on Music. In March THU 1837, Felix Mendelssohn married Cecile Jeanrenaud in THU Frankfurt, and during the summer they extended the honeymoon THU with a stay in Bingen am Rhein, where Felix and Cecile kept THU a joint diary and so we know that it was during this time THU that he composed his String Quartet in E Minor, completing THU it on June 18, 1837.

THU THU Rudi Stephan was born in 1887, and by 1912 his Music for THU Orchestra seemed to promise a great deal in its mysterious THU and expressionistic textures. In 1915 he was killed by a THU shot from a Russian soldier. THU THU Frederick Kelly was a talented musician and Olympic rower. THU His heartfelt Elegy for Strings is a tribute to poet Rupert THU Brooke with whom he served at Gallipoli. Kelly was killed in THU the last days of the Battle of the Somme in 1916. George THU Butterworth, who is best remembered for his settings of EA THU Housman's poems A Shropshire Lad, died from a shot in the THU head during that same battle. His nostalgic songs are THU performed this evening by Roderick Williams. THU THU And the pastoral fields of Vaughan Williams's Third Symphony THU are not the rolling hills of England, but those of France, THU where the composer served in the Royal Army Medical Corps. THU The rhapsodic symphony, with the wordless voice of tenor THU Allan Clayton, is performed by Andrew Manze and the BBC THU Scottish Symphony Orchestra and follows their dazzling THU performance of Symphonies 4, 5 and 6 at the BBC Proms in THU 2012.

THU THU Tuneful good humour and vivid characterisation see the THU century at its most approachable in Holst's well-loved The THU Planets. Scriabin's Prometheus is more eccentric - scored THU for piano, 'colour organ' and orchestra. This performance of THU it includes the optional part for choir and responds to the THU composer's imaginative ideas on colour. THU THU Premiered at the Proms in 1912, Schoenberg's Five Orchestral THU Pieces take tonality to the limit, anticipating the THU composer's later development of serialism. THU THU 20:20 BBC Proms b04f8x03 (Listen) THU 2014 Season, Proms Interval, Saving Grace, by Graham Swift THU THU Saving Grace appears in Graham Swift's new and critically THU acclaimed short story collection, England and Other Stories. THU In this story Dr Shah recalls his Indian father's past and THU reflects on the inevitability of loss and the nature of THU luck. Sam Dastor reads. THU THU Following on from seven novels, Graham Swift's new THU collection sees a beautifully executed return to the short THU form. Saving Grace is one of the twenty-five distinct THU stories in which Swift evokes vivid ideas of what makes a THU nation.

What they had THU in common was they were the first to create thought systems THU in which Man, not the Gods, was the measure of all things. THU It was arguably civilization's greatest leap forward. Yet, THU despite their teachings these thought systems became faiths THU anyway. THU THU Why this coincidence? Were these thinkers in touch with one THU another? How did these teachings become religions? THU THU In part one, Michael Goldfarb travels from the Aegean, to THU India and China interviewing archaeologists and scholars THU about the real lives, not the legends, of Buddha, Confucius, THU Thales and Pythagoras and the societies these THU epoch-shattering thinkers emerged from.

BBC Radio 3 FRI New Generation Artists, the Danish Quartet brought the music FRI of fellow Dane, Carl Nielsen, to the MAC in Belfast. FRI Nielsen composed his Third Quartet in 1897-8, and in it he FRI breaks away from his reliance on the German romantic FRI tradition and transports the listener to the landscape of FRI his native Denmark. The music is rich in sonority and FRI melodic counterpoint. FRI For the first time this week, the members of the Capuçon FRI Trio come together to perform Fauré's Piano Trio Op. 20 FRI which was recorded at the National Concert Hall in Dublin FRI last spring. FRI Fauré composed the Trio when he was well into his 70s, at a FRI time when his hearing in the high and low registers was FRI failing - this is probably why the sound spectrum occupies FRI the mid-range - but the trio written in the final years of a FRI compositional life that linked romanticism to the freedoms FRI of 20th century harmony, is a masterpiece.
