SAT As a festival celebrating Strauss begins, Tom is shown SAT around Villa Strauss, the composer's former home, by SAT Strauss' grandson, Christian.

SAT SAT First broadcast in June. SAT SAT STRAUSS 150 - A RICHARD STRAUSS SPECIAL SAT SAT In a special edition of Music Matters marking the 150th SAT anniversary of the birth of Richard Strauss, Tom Service SAT travels to Garmish-Partenkirchen, near Munich, where Strauss SAT made his home for more than forty years, and where he wrote SAT many of his most important works, including Elektra. As a SAT festival celebrating Strauss begins, Tom is shown around SAT Villa Strauss, the composer's former home, by Strauss's SAT grandson, Christian, now in his eighties. An impressive SAT residence in the heart of the Bavarian Alps, it was here SAT that Strauss composed many of his greatest works, including SAT An Alpine Symphony, Metamorphosen, the Four Last songs, Der SAT Rosenkavalier, Arabella, Ariadne auf Naxos, Intermezzo, SAT Daphne, and his last stage work, Capriccio. The great SAT mezzo-soprano Brigitte Fassbaender talks about what the SAT composer means to her and we eavesdrop on the tenor Ian SAT Bostridge and pianist Julius Drake as they rehearse one of SAT Strauss’s lesser-known groups of songs – Bostridge’s first SAT real encounter with Strauss lieder. At the Richard Strauss SAT Insitute in Garmisch, Dr Christian Wolf and Tom explore a SAT relatively unknown area of the composer’s output – the piano SAT music – and Dr Jurgen May talks us through Strauss’s complex SAT relationship with politics, starting with his appointment as SAT Kapellmeister to Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1898, and finishing SAT with his contentious – and much debated – relationship with SAT the Nazi regime.

SAT SAT Wilde wrote his drama on "the sinfulness of innocence" in SAT French and Strauss used a German translation by Hedwig SAT Lachmann as his libretto. First performed in Dresden in SAT December 1905, Salome gave Richard Strauss his first SAT international opera success. SAT SAT The story is one that takes passion to its extreme and SAT beyond. Salome is the sultry princess of ancient Judea. Her SAT stepfather, Herod, has promised Salome half of his kingdom SAT in exchange for a sensual dance. In return, she asks that he SAT gives her the head of John the Baptist on a silver SAT platter... SAT SAT In the title role, for which Strauss famously wished for a SAT 16-year-old princess with the voice of an Isolde, is one of SAT the world's leading dramatic sopranos, Nina Stemme.

SUN SUN Alessandrini founded Concerto Italiano in 1984 with a debut SUN performance in Rome with Cavalli's opera "La Callisto". Now SUN considered one of Europe's finest Baroque ensembles, SUN Concerto Italiano is cherished for its vivid, urgent yet SUN subtle performances that display a rare expressive SUN flexibility. The ensemble celebrates its 30th anniversary SUN this year, and over the last three decades it has become SUN renowned for its interpretations of Monteverdi, Vivaldi and SUN Alessandro Scarlatti, amongst others. SUN SUN Rinaldo Alessandrini brings a rich programme of exquisite SUN Italian music to Greyfriars Kirk as part of the Edinburgh SUN International Festival, contrasting instrumental pieces by SUN Marini, Uccellini, Merula and Castello with dazzling SUN madrigals by Monteverdi, including the highly moving SUN "Lettera amorosa" and the hugely emotional miniature opera SUN "Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda", in which a SUN Christian knight unknowingly defeats his beloved in battle. SUN SUN Concerto Italiano is joined for their Edinburgh concert by SUN the soprano Anna Simboli and tenors Gianluca Ferrarini and SUN Luca Dordolo.

SUN SUN Presented by Suzy Klein at the Royal Albert Hall, London SUN SUN The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra makes its Proms debut under SUN its Chief Conductor Sir Andrew Davis. Passion and despair, SUN love and death, all feature in a programme that roams from SUN the dark fantasy of Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique to the SUN soaring ecstasy of Strauss's Don Juan, while Elgar's Cello SUN Concerto adds more delicate shades of melancholy and SUN yearning. SUN SUN Richard Strauss: Don Juan SUN Elgar: Cello Concerto in E minor SUN SUN Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique SUN SUN Truls Mørk (cello) SUN Melbourne Symphony Orchestra SUN Sir Andrew Davis (conductor) SUN SUN This season's showcase of global orchestras continues with SUN the Proms debut of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, under SUN its new Chief Conductor, Sir Andrew Davis. Together they SUN explore the musical extremes of passion, despair, love and SUN death. Perhaps the most powerful artistic expression of SUN unrequited love, Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique is a dark, SUN vivid fantasy inspired by the woman who would eventually SUN become his wife. SUN Strauss too had just married when he composed the soaring SUN love theme of Don Juan. Elgar's last major work, the Cello SUN Concerto, traces more questioning shades of emotion. There's SUN a beautiful melancholy and tentative yearning to this work, SUN coloured by the First World War: an elegy by any other name. SUN SUN First broadcast 19th August 2014.

The cast is led by American soprano Christine SUN Goerke, who recently dazzled in the title-role at the Royal SUN Opera House, with Danish baritone Johan Reuter as her SUN beloved brother Orestes. SUN SUN In Greek mythology, Electra was the daughter of King SUN Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra.

SUN Solzhenitsyn's book was published in the West one year after SUN he won the prize - with sections about Lenin omitted. It was SUN only after his expulsion from the USSR that the complete SUN book was available. This new production is narrated by Fiona SUN Shaw. SUN SUN In August 1914, Colonel Vorotyntsev advances into East SUN Prussia in search of the elusive front line. As he SUN encounters the truth about the German war-machine his SUN military ideals rapidly tarnish and he must decide whether SUN to volunteer his men for certain death or retreat. At the SUN outbreak of the First World War, the Russian advance met SUN with catastrophic results. Bungled orders, poor and SUN insufficient supplies, out-dated equipment and tactics, and SUN deliberate misinformation resulted in chaos and the SUN near-annihiliation of the army at the hands of the Germans.

The platforms offered by London's conductors MON and concert venues helped to launch him as a composer of MON international stature. Before his first visit to London, he MON was known only in the German-speaking world and his native MON Bohemia. By his fifth visit, his fame was on a par with that MON of his friend and untiring advocate Brahms. MON MON Donald Macleod explores the origins of Dvorák's relationship MON with the British Isles, from his earliest musical MON calling-card, the Slavonic Dances opus 46, first presented MON to British audiences at Crystal Palace in February 1879, to MON the triumphant reception accorded him five years later when MON he conducted his Stabat Mater at the Royal Albert Hall. A MON key element along the way, before he had even set foot here, MON was his enthusiastic endorsement by musical luminaries such MON as the violinist Joachim, who presented Dvorák's String MON Sextet in London in 1880, and the conductor Hans Richter, MON who championed a string of Dvorák's works, beginning with MON the 3rd Slavonic Rhapsody.

Music by Berlioz, Walton and Respighi. MON MON Berlioz: Overture 'Le carnaval romain' MON MON Walton: Sinfonia concertante (original version) MON MON Danny Driver (piano), MON Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, MON Charles Dutoit (conductor). MON MON Italian sunshine floods the Royal Albert Hall Tonight's Prom MON - with a Swiss conductor, a British orchestra, and music by MON an Italian, an Englishman and (first) a Frenchman. Hector MON Berlioz's opera Benvenuto Cellini - featuring the riotous MON Roman Carnival from which he took the Overture we'll hear MON tonight - was inspired by Berlioz's experiences during MON eighteen months in Italy after winning the French Prix de MON Rome in 1830. Ottorino Respighi settled in Rome for most of MON his adult life, and celebrated his adopted city in a MON triptych of increasingly flamboyant orchestral showpieces - MON depicting not just fountains, pines and festivals, but the MON children of Rome at play, the mysterious catacombs and the MON ancient Roman legions on the march. Charles Dutoit offers a MON rare chance to hear all three works in sequence. William MON Walton - one of the featured composers in the 2014 BBC Proms MON - dedicated the three movements of his original Sinfonia MON concertante to the three Sitwell siblings, Osbert, Edith and MON Sacheverell, who took him under their wing and (crucially) MON introduced him to Italy. "I've never forgotten it," Walton MON said of the experience of emerging from a tunnel under the MON Alps into the Italian sunlight: "a new world".

MON MON 22:00 Sunday Feature b03k0lg0 (Listen) MON A Profile of Ken Adam: The Spectre of Modernism MON MON Presented by Matthew Sweet. MON MON If you think of a megalomaniac villain's lair, it's almost MON certain your imagination will be fuelled by the creations of MON Sir Ken Adam. MON MON Matthew Sweet meets the game-changing film designer. Most MON famous for designing Bond films and Dr. Strangelove, the MON ambition of Ken Adam's vision is unrivalled. He created Dr MON No's underwater hideout, Goldfinger's Rumpus Room and MON Blofeld's volcano lair, and a Cabinet War Room for Dr MON Strangelove so persuasive and convincing that - the MON apocryphal story goes - when Ronald Reagan entered the White MON House he asked to see it. MON MON Matthew hears Ken Adam's story from the man himself. It's an MON extraordinary one: as a boy in Berlin he witnessed the MON smoking ruins of the Reichstag on his way to school; as a MON young man he was one of only two Germans to fly a fighter MON jet for the RAF over his own homeland. And Matthew explores MON how much Ken Adam - born Klaus Hugo Adam 92 years ago - MON shaped our sense of what a glamorous urban environment MON should look like. MON MON Matthew Sweet explores how Ken Adam's playful take on MON modernism has influenced not just film but also the real MON world, feeding the imagination of a generation of architects MON and changing our built environment. MON MON Matthew hears from modernist architect Norman Foster, MON Director of the National Theatre Nicholas Hytner (who worked MON with Ken on The Madness of King George), longtime friend the MON cultural historian Christopher Frayling, Julia Peyton Jones, MON Co-Director of the Serpentine Gallery, and design writer MON Jonathan Glancey. MON MON Producer: Allegra McIlroy. MON MON 22:45 The Essay b03vd61m (Listen) MON Cornerstones, Limestone MON MON Sue Clifford, co-founder of the arts and environment MON organisation Common Ground, reflects on what England's MON limestone landscapes mean to her, the way water has carved MON out vast underground cave systems. MON MON This is the first of four essays in which writers reflect on MON the way their bedrock geology has shaped their favourite MON landscapes. Limestone, as Sue Clifford says, is not only the MON stone of choice for many of Britain's architectural MON landmarks, but in the wild it also supports a wealth of MON flowers, creating its own micro-climates in the klints and MON grykes that characterise karst scenery. Limestone, she MON acknowledges, rejoices in its own specific vocabulary. MON MON In the other essays, the walker and geologist Ronald MON Turnbull addresses sandstone, the sculptor Peter MON Randall-Page describes what it's like working with MON Dartmoor's obdurate granite boulders, and the Welsh poet MON Gillian Clarke writes about Snowdonia's slate. MON MON Producer: Mark Smalley. MON MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 b04g153j (Listen) MON Led Bib MON MON Prog-jazz outfit Led Bib celebrate their ten-year MON anniversary, in concert at The Vortex, London. MON MON Once fittingly described by the Wire Magazine as sounding MON "like a hot chainsaw through butter", drummer Mark Holub and MON his searing quintet Led Bib have marked a decade of MON music-making with tireless energy and an irreverence for MON genre boundaries. Amassing five albums and a Mercury Prize MON nomination along the way, the group returned to the location MON of their debut album release in Dalston for a three-day MON residency to celebrate the occasion. Performing music from MON their latest record "The People in Your Neighbourhood", MON Holub is joined by the twin altos of Pete Grogan and Chris MON Williams who take the lead in anthemic melodies and urgent MON improvisations, whilst powerhouse bassist Liran Donin and MON keys player Toby McLaren propel the band through heavy MON riffing and angular, psychedelic excursions.

TUE TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week b04g13sw (Listen) TUE Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904), A Bohemian in Blighty TUE TUE Between 1884 and 1896, Dvorák visited Britain nine times - TUE with enormous benefit both to himself and to musical life on TUE these shores. The platforms offered by London's conductors TUE and concert venues helped to launch him as a composer of TUE international stature. Before his first visit to London, he TUE was known only in the German-speaking world and his native TUE Bohemia. By his fifth visit, his fame was on a par with that TUE of his friend and untiring advocate Brahms. TUE TUE Donald Macleod looks at the background to the commissioning TUE of Dvorák's 7th Symphony by the Royal Philharmonic Society. TUE That same organization had commissioned Beethoven's 9th TUE Symphony some 67 years earlier, and is still going strong TUE today. The RPS had been instrumental in organising Dvorák's TUE first visit to Britain. Other invitations quickly followed, TUE including one to conduct his 6th Symphony and Stabat Mater TUE at the Worcester Three Choirs Festival, where an awestruck TUE young Edward Elgar sat among the ranks of the violins.

Britten's magisterial oratorio was TUE first heard in 1962, performed in a Coventry Cathedral TUE newly-opened after its medieval predecessor had been TUE destroyed by the bombs of WW2. Subtly interleaving the Latin TUE text of the Requiem Mass with the war poems of Wilfred Owen, TUE the 'War Requiem' stands both as one of Britten's most TUE passionate and heartfelt works and a devastating portrayal TUE of what Owen called 'the pity of War'.

TUE TUE The concert opens with the overture to Glinka's fairy-tale TUE opera Ruslan and Lyudmila, which weaves three melodies TUE together with intricate skill.

TUE TUE Producer: Fiona McLean TUE TUE 22:45 The Essay b03vd7vj (Listen) TUE Cornerstones, Sandstone TUE TUE The walker, writer and geologist Ronald Turnbull reflects on TUE how some of his favourite landscapes across the UK are TUE softly shaped by sandstone. The ease of carving it, he says, TUE accounts for its attractions to mankind across time. TUE TUE This is the second of four essays in which writers reflect TUE on the way their bedrock geology has shaped their favourite TUE landscapes. The sandstone that characterises his home in TUE Dumfries, Ronald Turnbull says, is similar to the sandstone TUE of North America, Siberia and elsewhere, because it was all TUE created as part of the same hot, desert landmass millions of TUE years ago. TUE TUE In the other essays, Sue Clifford, co-founder of Common TUE Ground reflects on limestone landscapes, the sculptor Peter TUE Randall-Page describes what it's like working with TUE Dartmoor's obdurate granite boulders, and the Welsh poet TUE Gillian Clarke evokes the human stories shaped by TUE Snowdonia's slate.

Before his first visit to London, he WED was known only in the German-speaking world and his native WED Bohemia. By his fifth visit, his fame was on a par with that WED of his friend and untiring advocate Brahms. WED WED Donald Macleod considers Dvorák's fourth and fifth British WED sojourns, in which he ventured as far afield as Birmingham WED and Leeds. Birmingham had commissioned from him a secular WED cantata for their 1885 Festival. This turned out to be The WED Spectre's Bride, a Gothic tale of ghoulish horror about an WED orphaned girl whose dead lover rises from the grave to claim WED her though, eventually, all's well that ends well: she WED clings to her faith "and the evil spirit is repulsed." The WED Leeds Festival commission was for a new choral work, WED preferably on a biblical subject; but Dvorák opted instead WED for St Ludmila, a story from ancient Bohemian history about WED the conversion of the Czech people from paganism to WED Christianity. The Spectre's Bride turned out to be the WED biggest triumph of Dvorák's career to date; the success of WED St Ludmila, whose creation had caused the composer a huge WED amount of stress and worry, was more equivocal. Neither work WED is frequently performed today.

The platforms offered by London's conductors THU and concert venues helped to launch him as a composer of THU international stature. Before his first visit to London, he THU was known only in the German-speaking world and his native THU Bohemia. By his fifth visit, his fame was on a par with that THU of his friend and untiring advocate Brahms. THU THU Donald Macleod explores the origins of Dvorák's 8th THU Symphony, commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society, THU and his Requiem, written for the Birmingham Festival of THU 1891. The RPS had been trying to persuade Dvorák to compose THU something new for them for several years but he remained THU busy with other projects until the end of 1889. Eventually, THU he wrote to say that he had started sketching "something new THU for your concerts". His new symphony was a huge success at THU its British première the following April. By now, Dvorák was THU practically a member of the British musical establishment so THU it was a logical step for Cambridge University to award him THU an honorary doctorate. He attended the ceremony in June 1891 THU - an all-Latin affair that evidently made him extremely THU uncomfortable. In the wake of the rapturous reception given THU to The Spectre's Bride at the Birmingham Festival of 1885, THU Dvorák was commissioned to write a new oratorio. At first it THU was suggested to him that he should set The Dream of THU Gerontius, a poem by Cardinal Newman, but Dvorák found the THU text alien and opted instead for a setting of the Requiem THU mass, which received its world première in Birmingham in THU October 1891, under the baton of the composer.

A young hero travels through life, THU marvelling at nature and growing to maturity, but THU encountering the sorrows and conflicts of Fate at every THU turn. THU THU Mahler's long-limbed lyricism meets its match in the THU muscular drive of John Adams's Saxophone Concerto, written THU for virtuoso soloist Timothy McAllister, and his iconic THU orchestral miniature Short Ride in a Fast Machine, which THU pulses with anarchic life.

But culturally things are more confused. THU THU More than twenty years after German unity in 1990, THU understanding what it is to be German today is far harder to THU pin down than the facts of its economic success and THU predominance in the European Union. So what are the reasons THU for this paradox? And how should we in Britain, profoundly THU affected by Germany and the country's ideas of itself, THU understand the nation today? THU THU Anne McElvoy closely observed the old communist East Germany THU at first hand in the 1980s when she studied at East Berlin's THU Humboldt University, with its Stasi teaching corps and THU 7.00am lectures in Marxist-Leninism. In the 1990s, when she THU covered Germany as a correspondent, she wrote about the THU evolution of the new Germany formed from two very different THU antecedent countries. THU THU Now, in this "Sunday Feature", Anne McElvoy re-visits Berlin THU to gauge what ideas of Germany are emerging. She talks to THU eminent writers, artists and figures in the performing arts THU as well as those who observe the broader cultural and THU political scene to discover how they see their homeland's THU past, present and future. THU THU Among those taking part: the German Book Prize winner Julia THU Franck, the grand-daughter of a leading East German THU communist artist - and the daughter of a dissident; eminent THU poet Elke Schmitter; political and social thinker Ulrike THU Guerot; British dramatist and director Simon Stephens; THU best-selling thriller writer Ferdinand von Schirach whose THU grandfather headed the Hitler Youth; and Isabella von Bülow THU of the dynasty which includes on one side the composer and THU conductor Hans and on the other the field marshal Friedrich THU Wilhelm. THU THU 22:45 The Essay b03vd7w3 (Listen) THU Cornerstones, Slate THU THU "Slate is our stone, from the quarries of Snowdonia", writes THU the Welsh poet Gillian Clarke in her Cornerstones essay, THU "just as the coal in the grate is ours, from the south Wales THU coalfield. We tread on slate every day." For her slate was THU inescapabable, ubiquitous: "In city, town, village and THU upland farm, we sleep under Welsh slate. Rain sings on it. THU It roofed every house I have ever lived in." THU THU Gillian's is the fourth and last of these essays in which THU writers and artists reflect on the way their bedrock geology THU - their cornerstones - have shaped their favourite THU landscapes. "To this day" she says, "the sight of slate-tips THU in rain never fails to fill me with awe, such an unbearable THU weight of angles and shards, of greys, purples, silvers, THU broken pieces of sky, so many deaths, so much lost life. So THU much geological and human history." THU THU In the other essays, Sue Clifford, co-founder of Common THU Ground reflects on her favourite limestone landscapes, the THU walker and geologist Ronald Turnbull addresses sandstone, THU and the sculptor Peter Randall-Page tells us what it's like THU working with something as unforgiving as Dartmoor's obdurate THU granite boulders.

Never more so than in FRI 1913, when Henry Ford introduced the first assembly line at FRI his Michigan car plant. Now people had to work at the pace FRI of the conveyor belt and for the rest of the twentieth FRI century, until robots began to replace people, factory work FRI entailed the repetition of a single task, producing boredom FRI and anxiety in the workers, but alongside a huge surge in FRI affordable manufactured goods. The writer and broadcaster AL FRI Kennedy asks whether this moment, the introduction of the FRI assembly line, is when we stopped being fully human? FRI 'Production Line Living' is broadcast as a companion to FRI Radio 3's 2013 Free Thinking festival at Sage Gateshead, FRI which is asking "Who's in Control?". FRI FRI From Charlie Chaplin's hapless, alienated factory worker in FRI Modern Times to Pink Floyd's hammer-headed teacher in 'The FRI Wall' smashing kids into their allotted moulds, AL Kennedy FRI explores the impact and the idea of the production line. She FRI argues that not only did it create the circumstances for FRI mass consumption but it also enabled a 'unitised' FRI redefinition of humanity, for example through the FRI development of time and motion studies, which influenced FRI everything from education and psychology to body size, FRI living spaces, and even the way in which we express our FRI thoughts and aspirations. FRI FRI Speaking to factory workers, sociologists and psychologists, FRI AL Kennedy teases out how the production line has impacted FRI on our everyday lives, colouring the ways in which we FRI understand ourselves.
