SAT SAT JEAN-PHILLIPPE RAMEAU SAT SAT Tom Service presents the first in the new series of Music SAT Matters - a special edition on the 18th-century French SAT composer Jean-Philippe Rameau, who died 250 years ago this SAT month. Tom meets some of the leading performers and SAT interpreters of Rameau's music to discover more about this SAT mysterious but highly influential theorist, composer and SAT Enlightenment figure. SAT SAT Graham Sadler, the author of a new definitive Rameau SAT biography, talks to Tom about the first forty years of SAT Rameau’s life – a period about which little had been known SAT until now. He came from a volatile family of musicians, some SAT of whom were known to have been in trouble with the law. SAT After dropping out of school, Rameau spent time in Italy SAT before returning to France and becoming a provincial SAT organist for decades. He didn’t find success as an opera SAT composer in Paris until 1733 at the age of 50. SAT SAT Tom visits Paris to meet Patrick Florentin, President of the SAT Rameau Society at the Café Procope, which opened in 1686 and SAT was the scene of many a heated debate between Rameau and his SAT collaborators: Enlightenment luminaries like Jean-Jacques SAT Rousseau and Voltaire, all of whom Rameau typically fell out SAT with. SAT SAT An array of musicians tell Tom why Rameau was such a radical SAT composer and how his theories and the way in which they SAT found expression in his composition was unique in musical SAT history. Harpsichordist Davitt Moroney demonstrates how SAT invaluable Rameau’s writing on technique has been for him, SAT conductor and harpsichordist Christophe Rousset describes SAT how crucial Rameau’s thinking was in terms of the SAT Enlightenment era and conductors Jonathan Williams and SAT Emmanuelle Haïm, who are both currently working on SAT productions of Rameau’s operas, discuss what he did to SAT further the form and even lay foundations for composers like SAT Mozart, Debussy and Ravel. The soprano Carolyn Sampson tells SAT Tom why she loves singing his music so much and SAT choreographer Edith Lalonger stresses how crucial dance is SAT in Rameau’s operas. SAT SAT Tom finishes his exploration of Rameau’s life and music at SAT the Church of Saint Eustache in Paris where the composer is SAT buried. SAT SAT 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert b04hvqmw (Listen) SAT La Compagnia del Madrigale SAT SAT A selection of madrigals by Monteverdi and Gesualdo sung by SAT La Compagnia del Madrigale, recorded in the Mozartsaal at SAT last May's Schwetzingen Festival.

He also writes SAT for adults and his list of books includes a Sherlock Holmes SAT novel "The House of Silk".

Beethoven's SAT Sixth Symphony - a musical portrait of the Austrian SAT countryside which Beethoven so loved - has long been admired SAT for its gentle depiction of rural life, with babbling SAT brooks, bird calls, a summer storm, and merry country folk. SAT The concert begins with the overture Beethoven composed as SAT incidental music to an 1810 production of a Goethe play. SAT SAT Following the concert, 'BBC Singers at 90': in the week SAT during which the BBC's professional choir celebrates its SAT 90th anniversary, British composers introduce recordings of SAT their music performed by the BBC Singers. SAT SAT 22:00 Between the Ears b04hz0sb (Listen) SAT Eschatology SAT SAT A live radiophonic drama about the end of the world, SAT witnessed from a liner adrift on a deserted ocean. Written SAT and narrated by Peter Blegvad, Eschatology is a poetic SAT exploration of the end of everything: of land where we take SAT to ships, of radio contact when white noise fills the SAT receiver; of individual sounds as they echo into space. SAT SAT Presented live from Broadcasting House, music and sound SAT effects are composed and performed by Langham Research SAT Centre (Felix Carey, Iain Chambers, Philip Tagney and Robert SAT Worby), using vintage electronic instruments and tape SAT machines. The last survivors are played by Harriet Walter SAT and Guy Paul. Susan Rae delivers updates on the apocalypse SAT as it spreads around the planet.

He's a Fellow SUN of the Royal Society, was awarded the prestigious Fields SUN medal, and was knighted two years ago for services to SUN mathematics. In Private Passions, he talks to Michael SUN Berkeley about his musical upbringing, and early dreams of SUN becoming a composer. He confesses that it's hard to spend SUN your life doing something which so few people round you SUN understand - which is even difficult to talk about to your SUN wife at home. He reveals how he used mathematical SUN calculations of risk when faced with a life-or-death SUN decision of his own: whether to go ahead with a risky heart SUN operation. And he talks about how he's brought SUN mathematicians together, so that they've been able SUN collectively to solve problems which have defeated them for SUN decades - using a blog which he created: SUN http://gowers.wordpress.com. SUN Music includes Bach's St Matthew Passion, a Tudor anthem by SUN Robert Parsons, Michael Tippett's 3rd Piano Sonata, Ravel, SUN Oscar Peterson, and an organ toccata composed by his father, SUN Patrick Gowers, and played by his son Richard, who is 19.

If you SUN heard the first of Sophie's Rameau programmes back in June, SUN you might be interested to know that this instrument was SUN made in Antwerp in 1636 by Andreas Ruckers and "ravalled" SUN [the practice of refurbishing instruments to extend their SUN range, improve their marketability, or pass them off as an SUN older or more valuable instrument than they really are] in SUN Paris in 1763 by Henri Hemsch. The programme for the concert SUN includes several works by Rameau himself and opens with "La SUN Rameau", a tribute by his contemporary Antoine Forqueray. SUN SUN A. Forqueray: La Rameau SUN SUN Rameau: La Livri, L'Agaçante, La Timide (extraites de Pieces SUN de Clavecin en Concerts) SUN SUN Rameau: Suite in E minor [Allemande, Courante, Gigues en SUN Rondeau, Le Rappel des Oiseaux, Rigaudons, Double du 2me SUN rigaudon, Musette en Rondeau, Tambourin, La Villageoise SUN (Rondeau)] SUN SUN Rameau: Les Indes Galantes [Ouverture, Musette en Rondeau, SUN Air Polonais, Air gratieux pour les Amours, Menuets 1 & 2, SUN Airs pour les Bostangis, Gavotte, Air des Fleurs - Air SUN tendre pour la Rose, Gavottes pour les Fleurs, Air pour la SUN Borée et la Rose, Air vif pour Zéphire et la Rose, Air grave SUN pour les Incas du Perou, Air grave pour les Incas du Perou, SUN Gavotte 1, Gavotte 2 en rondeau, Air pour les esclaves SUN Africains, Les Sauvages, Tambourins 1 & 2].

SUN One Day One Choir SUN SUN 17:30 Words and Music b01rygqw (Listen) SUN Time SUN SUN Gemma Arterton and Rufus Sewell read extracts on the subject SUN of Time, a theme which has always been popular with authors, SUN poets and composers. From the mourning of the passing of SUN time in poems by Shakespeare, DH Lawrence and John Milton, SUN to the writers who play with the very concept of time. Lewis SUN Carroll's Mad Hatter has bargained with Time for it to SUN always be teatime, while in Kurt Vonnegut's Tralfamadore, SUN moments in the past and future are as permanent as in the SUN present. Martin Amis takes the idea to the extreme by SUN writing the narrative of his novel Time's Arrow backwards! SUN There's also time travel, from Scrooge's nocturnal visit to SUN his past, to HG Wells's Time Machine disappearing into the SUN future. Many composers from the classical, jazz and pop SUN worlds have experimented with unusual or constantly changing SUN time signatures. Guillaume de Machaut and Conlon Nancarrow SUN go further by writing music in which music retraces its SUN steps and goes backwards. The programme also includes music SUN by Haydn, Messiaen, Ligeti and Pink Floyd. SUN SUN Producer - Ellie Mant.

It's an enthusiasm that has been SUN reflected in this year's BBC Proms with visiting orchestras SUN from Qatar, China, Singapore, South Korea, Turkey and SUN Brazil. SUN SUN Is this just an attempt by nations with new wealth and a SUN burgeoning middle-class to buy their way to the SUN international cultural top table, or will this new SUN enthusiasm last and have an impact on places where classical SUN music has few if any roots? SUN SUN The statistics are often jaw-dropping. Massive new concert SUN halls across China, educational systems in South America and SUN India and millions of children learning western instruments. SUN The fact that 30 million Chinese students are currently SUN studying the piano speaks of a fundamental new development SUN in a musical tradition that was once firmly anchored in the SUN West SUN SUN In the first programme, Petroc looks at the wave of new SUN building projects under way, particularly in China. Massive SUN concert halls designed by award-winning international SUN architects are a bold statement of intent and they've SUN certainly raised the profile of China's performance SUN ambitions. The question now is how they're going to be SUN filled and why do they continue to be planned and built with SUN such extraordinary zeal when the audiences who might attend SUN remain tentative about what is, to all intents and purposes, SUN an alien culture. Is it enough to believe that 'if you build SUN it, they will come?' SUN SUN Petroc centres his exploration on Zaha Hadid's iconic Opera SUN House in Guangzhou and also hears from leading cultural SUN figures in India, South America and the Middle East where SUN the story shares universal challenges but with very SUN particular local dimensions.

Ravel: Pictures at an Exhibition SUN SUN Nikolaj Znaider (violin) SUN Hallé SUN Hannu Lintu (conductor) SUN SUN Two masterworks of the Russian symphonic repertoire frame SUN this concert, which opens with the witty and humorous score SUN Sergei Prokofiev completed in 1944 conjuring up magic of the SUN well-known fairy-tale. Magic of a darker and more grotesque SUN sort is never far from the surface of Mussorgsky's famous SUN suite - originally composed for piano, but heard tonight in SUN the well-known orchestration of Maurice Ravel - with its SUN depiction of gnomes, catacombs, a hut with the legs of a SUN fowl, and unhatched chicks dancing in their shells. SUN Completing the programme, Sibelius' only concerto - a piece SUN that has long been recognised as containing some of the most SUN technically-challenging violin writing in the entire SUN repertoire. SUN SUN Following the concert, 'BBC Singers at 90': in the week SUN during which the BBC's professional choir celebrates its SUN 90th anniversary, British composers introduce recordings of SUN their music performed by the BBC Singers.

SUN Part of BBC Radio 3's Time Season and inspired by JB SUN Priestley's play Time and the Conways. SUN SUN Physicists, Michael and Harry, meet at Oxford; they are SUN hugely competitive both in their work and for the affections SUN of Samantha, a witty American astro physicist. A SUN competitiveness that will drive them all to make SUN extraordinary choices. As we follow their careers we see how SUN the scientific world has made huge leaps in the SUN understanding of matter and time and the consequences of SUN their acts are fully revealed.

MON During the Nazi occupation of the city, Panufnik wrote very MON little music other than resistance songs and a heartfelt MON overture full of the sounds of war.

Donald Macleod celebrates the life MON and music of Panufnik on the centenary of his birth and MON introduces music from the early years of his career MON including his wartime overture, a symphony at first MON celebrated and a year later condemned by the post-war MON communist government as bourgeois, and a lullaby which, like MON the symphony, was inspired by Polish traditional music.

Written when MON he was only 18, Mozart based La finta Giardiniera on MON Goldoni's play Pamela nubile and was only his second comic MON opera. The story follows seven characters in search of love, MON involving disguise, and recognition of both identities and MON emotions - trying to discover what is real and what is MON 'finta'. Soprano Christiane Karg stars as Violante, who is MON known in her disguise as Sandrina, pursued by both Belfiore, MON tenor Joel Prieto and Don Anchise, sung by tenor Wolfgang MON Ablinger-Sperrhacke. The Orchestra of the Age of MON Enlightenment is conducted by Glyndebourne's new Music MON Director Robin Ticciati. Martin Handley presents, and during MON the interval discusses the opera with Mozart specialist MON Professor Cliff Eisen. MON MON This production of La Finta Giardiniera was performed at MON Glyndebourne Festival, June - August 2014. MON MON 22:45 The Essay b04hympg (Listen) MON Music in Its Time, Haydn: Symphony No 100 (Military) MON MON Stephen Johnson considers how five seminal pieces of music MON would have been appreciated by the audiences who heard them MON first. He probes the societies and cultures that shaped the MON experience of those original listeners to reveal what our MON modern ears might be missing. MON MON Haydn's famous Symphony No.100, his "Military Symphony", MON stands as model of classical elegance. Its famous bugle and MON percussion effects feel, by contemporary standards, MON sophisticated and refined. However, in 1794, war with France MON was a frightening reality; his first London audiences would MON have included a good few aristocratic refugees from MON revolutionary Paris. One contemporary critic remarked: "It MON is the advancing to battle; and the march of men, the MON sounding of the charge, the thundering of the onset, the MON clash of arms, the groans of the wounded, and what may well MON be called the hellish roar of war increase to a climax of MON hellish sublimity.". MON MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 b04hympj (Listen) MON Charlie Haden Tribute MON MON We begin tonight with an extract of a performance by Kenny MON Wheeler, who has died at the age of 84. Recorded exclusively MON for Jazz On 3 during last November's London Jazz Festival, MON the influential trumpeter and composer performed with his MON quintet in Southbank Centre's Clore Ballroom. A full tribute MON to Kenny Wheeler follows in next week's programme. MON MON Jazz on 3 also pays tribute tonight to bass player Charlie MON Haden, who died earlier this year, with an archive MON performance from Quartet West. MON MON Regarded as one of the most influential bassists of his MON generation, Charlie Haden rose to prominence through his MON long association with Ornette Coleman, playing on the MON saxophonist's landmark album The Shape Of Jazz To Come in MON 1959. His illustrious career saw him collaborate with Alice MON Coltrane, Pat Metheny and Keith Jarrett, alongside his MON explorations as leader with the politically charged MON Liberation Orchestra in the 1970s. MON MON In this programme we hear Haden in the intimate setting of MON Quartet West - the longstanding group that became his main MON musical vehicle from the mid 1980s - featuring saxophonist MON Ernie Watts, pianist Alan Broadbent and drummer Rodney MON Green.

WED WED The delightful charm of Schumann's Scenes from Childhood WED masks a surprising sophistication which marks them among his WED most popular pieces.

THU THU 14:00 Afternoon on 3 b04hyq42 (Listen) THU Strauss 150 THU THU Friedenstag is a 1-act opera composed by Strauss just before THU the outbreak of World War 2. The idea for the story came THU from Stefan Zweig who'd worked with Strauss before. Strauss THU had been criticised for working with Zweig because he was a THU Jew so it was agreed that Joseph Gregor would write the THU libretto. It's an opera about peace and is set in the early THU 17th century during the Thirty Years War. A Commandant THU defending his fortress from attack, decides to die rather THU than give in. But news of peace arrives and he and his THU former enemy decide to work together for a better world. The THU opera is a rarity on stage and in recordings but this one is THU conducted by one of the great Strauss conductors, Wolfgang THU Sawallisch. Presented by Verity Sharp who also introduces THU the Radio 3 Opera Guide to Friedenstag. THU THU Commandant ..... Bernd Weikl (baritone) THU Maria, his wife .....

THU THU Mussorgsky: A Night on the Bare Mountain THU Scriabin: Piano Concerto THU THU 8.10 Interval THU More from tonight's soloist Barry Douglas including some THU recent recordings THU THU 8.40 THU Shostakovich: Symphony No. 10 THU THU Barry Douglas (Piano) THU BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra THU Donald Runnicles (Conductor) THU THU As the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra launch their 2014/15 THU Glasgow concert season, they take to the stage with Chief THU Conductor Donald Runnicles and a programme of music from THU three Russian visionaries. THU Mussorgsky's A Night on the Bare Mountain creates a vivid THU and occasionally unsettling musical picture, demonstrating THU all of that composer's verve and boldly inventive THU orchestration. Scriabin, like Mussorgsky with A Night on the THU Bare Mountain, wrote his F-sharp minor Piano Concerto as a THU young man. And it flows with youthful charm and romantic THU melodies. Tonight the BBC SSO is joined by a renowned THU interpreter of Russian scores, Barry Douglas. THU And the concert concludes with perhaps one of Shostakovich's THU greatest achievements, his Tenth Symphony. A tour-de-force THU for orchestra, first performed in Leningrad in 1953, the THU score seems to comment bitterly on the death on Stalin and THU the proceeding Stalinist period of artistic control. THU Reflecting the composer's own struggles it is a symphony THU which embodies all the ironic contradictions in THU Shostakovich's music: from dark and gloomy opening figures THU to an almost obsessively triumphant conclusion. THU THU Following the concert, 'BBC Singers at 90': in the week THU during which the BBC's professional choir celebrates its THU 90th anniversary, British composers introduce recordings of THU their music performed by the BBC Singers.

He probes the societies and cultures that shaped the THU experience of those original listeners to reveal what our THU modern ears might be missing. THU THU Since its revival in the 19th century, Bach's St. Matthew THU Passion has been hailed as one of the pillars of Western THU music; universally regarded, and with a powerful influence THU that reaches into our own time. How differently, then, would THU his music have fired imaginations in the provincial THU church-goers of 18th century Leipzig? People whose THU experience of music was so much more limited than our own, THU and whose pietist religious sensibilities coloured every THU aspect of their daily lives.

He probes the societies and cultures that shaped the FRI experience of those original listeners to reveal what our FRI modern ears might be missing. FRI FRI It's easy for us to recognise, in Stravinsky's first ballet FRI score, portents of the musical revolution that would soon FRI follow. This is music that teeters on the brink of a FRI breakdown in traditional tonality, and points forward to the FRI complex, fractured world of twentieth century art. Did that FRI first Parisian audience of 1910 glimpse such things in The FRI Firebird? Or were they simply seduced by its colourful FRI oriental influences, which were the height of fashion in FRI Europe at the time. People were fascinated by the FRI outlandish, the gothic, the occult; and they gorged FRI themselves on Firebird's exotic pleasures.

They settled in the desert FRI refugee camps in southern Algeria, and when she was 11, FRI Aziza made the journey to Cuba for her secondary education. FRI After returning to the camps as a singer in the 1990s, she FRI then settled in Spain. Here she found success first as a FRI jazz singer, then forming the group Gulli Mankoo, with whom FRI she recorded two acclaimed albums. Her third album 'Soutak' FRI (Your Voice) is a return to her acoustic roots, with songs FRI from the Sahara mixed with influences from Spain. FRI
