Also, the latest about SAT the difficult financial situation the Ulster Orchestra is SAT facing. SAT SAT PIERRE-LAURENT AIMARD SAT SAT The pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard is widely acclaimed as a SAT key figure in the music of our time and as a uniquely SAT significant interpreter of piano repertoire from every age. SAT He’s also an experienced artistic director curating SAT festivals and institutions such as the Aldeburgh Festival. SAT Aimard has had close collaborations with many leading SAT composers including Kurtag, Stockhausen, Carter, Boulez and SAT Benjamin and had a long association with Gyorgy Ligeti, SAT recording his complete works for piano. He performed Elliott SAT Carter’s last piece: Epigrams for piano, cello and violin, SAT which was written for him and has just given the world SAT premiere performance of Sir Harrison Birtwistle’s new piano SAT concerto. Tom Service talks to Pierre-Laurent Aimard about SAT the impact he thinks he brings when collaborating with SAT composers, about deciding which repertoire to play or SAT programme and about the joy of recording Bach after months SAT of preparation. SAT SAT EL SISTEMA - CHALLENGING VENEZUELA'S YOUTH ORCHESTRA SYSTEM SAT SAT The Venezuelan youth orchestra programme known as “El SAT Sistema” has attracted much attention internationally, SAT especially via its flagship orchestra the Simon Bolivar SAT Youth Orchestra, headed by Gustavo Dudamel and partly SAT through its use of music education to rescue vulnerable SAT children. El Sistema has spread to dozens of countries but SAT up until now has been the subject of surprisingly little SAT scrutiny and genuine debate. Geoffrey Baker of Royal SAT Holloway, University of London spent a year in Venezuela in SAT 2010 interviewing musicians and cultural figures and has SAT published a study examining El Sistema’s programme of SAT “social action through music,” reassessing widespread SAT beliefs about it as a force for positive social change. He SAT also challenges assertions that the programme prioritises SAT social over musical goals and promotes civic values such as SAT democracy, meritocracy and teamwork. Tom talks to Geoffrey SAT Baker about his findings and puts these criticisms to El SAT Sistema’s Eduardo Mendez. Executive Director of Funda SAT Musical Simon Bolivar. SAT SAT THE ULSTER ORCHESRA IN FUNDING CRISIS SAT SAT In October it was announced that the Ulster Orchestra, SAT Northern Ireland’s only professional orchestra, faced SAT insolvency and closure by the end of this year if it did not SAT fill a budgetary hole expected to be more than £400, 000 in SAT 2015. With cuts of 28 per cent to the funding provided by SAT the Arts Council and the BBC over the past four years, the SAT orchestra has tried to save money by cutting concerts, SAT freezing wages for its players and restructuring operations SAT to make them more efficient. Belfast City Council has SAT pledged to help with a one-off £100,000 payment and the SAT orchestra hopes for a five-year rent-free deal on the use of SAT its home venues – Bridgewater Hall and the Ulster Hall. Tom SAT assesses the Ulster Orchestra’s current position and future SAT with its Chairman, Sir George Bain and Terry Blain of the SAT Belfast Telegraph.

The Royal Opera House celebrates SAT the 40th anniversary of his London debut with acts from SAT three Verdi operas that have had special significance in the SAT Spanish tenor's career. In the title roles of Otello, SAT Rigoletto and Simon Boccanegra, Domingo - who also turned 70 SAT this year - portrays three immensely complex characters, all SAT facing dramatic actions. The recently added baritone roles SAT of the last two are testimony to both his incredibly wide SAT repertory and his artistic hunger. This once-in-a-life-time SAT celebration starts with Domingo as Otello, perhaps his most SAT legendary portrayal and a role he's made entirely his own. SAT Antonio Pappano, the Royal Opera House Music Director, SAT conducts a star-studded cast.

SUN SUN 17:30 Words and Music b04t9713 (Listen) SUN Home SUN SUN Poetry, prose and music on the theme of home with words by SUN Marilynne Robinson, Emily Dickinson, Yeats, Thom Gunn and SUN D.H. lawrence and music by Dvorak, Butterworth, Schubert and SUN Jerome Kern. The readers are Adjoa Andoh and Robert SUN Glenister. SUN SUN Producer: Fiona McLean. SUN SUN Producer Note SUN SUN This edition of Words and Music looks at the idea of home - SUN the domestic, memories of childhood, feelings of being alone SUN at home, exile and homecoming. SUN SUN The programme begins with William Carlos Williams’ short SUN poem, ‘Nantucket’, evoking a summer’s day on the island off SUN Cape Cod, with the bed at the heart of the room. It’s heard SUN alongside Takemitsu’s Toward the Sea - Cape Cod. Then comes SUN John Clare’s ‘The reeking supper waits the labourer home’ SUN which, like Vaughan Williams’ ‘The Water Mill’, tells the SUN story of a happy, busy, family home. SUN SUN Childhood memories are heard in D.H. Lawrence’s poem, SUN ‘Piano’, with the adult poet recalling the sound of a woman SUN singing ‘taking me back down the vista of years’. Peter SUN Maxwell Davies’ ‘Seven Songs Home’ is a sequence telling of SUN an hour in a child’s life as they make their way back from SUN school in the Orkneys. Here, you’ll hear the lovely final SUN song, ‘Home’, in which the aroma of a bacon sandwich SUN welcomes the child. Robert Crawford’s poem, ‘Cambuslang’, SUN tells of his parents still living in the childhood home that SUN he left long ago heard alongside James MacMillan’s ‘From SUN Ayrshire’, his musical evocation of Robert Burns’ ‘Ca’ the SUN Yowes to the Knowes’, itself an expression of coming home. SUN Franz Liszt’s ‘Romance oubliee’ accompanies Thomas Hardy’s SUN ‘At Home’, a short poem in which a young wife makes tea in SUN her new home for a woman, unaware to her, is her husband’s SUN first love and for whom he still yearns. SUN SUN The American novelist Marilynne Robinson, heard recently on SUN Free Thinking on Radio 3, was the starting point for this SUN programme. Her masterpiece, ‘Home’, tells the story of a SUN prodigal son returning to his Congregational minister SUN father’s house in Iowa. You’ll hear it with the Beatles’ SUN ‘She’s Leaving Home’, the story of another child and her SUN bewildered parents and Art Tatum’s version of Dvorak’s SUN ‘Going Home’. SUN SUN Another aspect of home is heard in Mark-Anthony Turnage’s SUN ‘Twice Through the Heart’, a musical setting of Jackie Kay’s SUN poems about a woman convicted of the murder of her husband SUN after years of domestic abuse. Now, in ‘China Cup’, sung by SUN Sarah Connolly, she remembers her old home and her new, a SUN prison cell. SUN SUN ‘Home’ ends with Michael Longley’s ‘Homecoming’, the story SUN of Odysseus’ return and Sibelius’ beautiful ‘The Swan of SUN Tuonela’, evoking his Finnish home in a tale of a man SUN leaving home to venture into the underworld. SUN SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature b04t9715 (Listen) SUN The Fundamentalist Queen SUN SUN Samira Ahmed explores the extraordinary rise and fall of the SUN Lady Protectress Elizabeth, wife of Oliver Cromwell - a SUN commoner who became "queen" in the 1650s. SUN SUN Elizabeth lived through an extraordinary time - for women as SUN well as men - as the country was divided by a decade of SUN civil war in the 1640s. In the new regime that followed the SUN execution of Charles I, Elizabeth found herself a consort SUN like no other, an ordinary housewife elevated to Lady SUN Protectress. SUN SUN But the Protectorate, and its efforts to forge a new kind of SUN state power based on strictly Puritan grounds, lasted only a SUN few years. In 1660, the monarchy was restored, Oliver's SUN allies were executed as traitors and his own dead body was SUN dug up and hanged in chains. The widowed Elizabeth, scorned SUN and taunted, was forced to beg Charles II for mercy. SUN SUN So why is so little known about her? Helped by leading SUN Cromwell scholars and tantalising historical documents - SUN including a satirical cookbook - Samira goes on the trail of SUN the fundamentalist queen, from the church where she married SUN and her kitchen as the young wife of an MP in Ely, to the SUN extravagant gifts that came to her Puritan court and the SUN secrets that may lie within her anonymous grave. With Louise SUN Jameson as the voice of Elizabeth Cromwell. SUN SUN Presenter Samira Ahmed SUN SUN Producers Simon and Thomas Guerrier SUN SUN A Whistledown Production for BBC Radio 3. SUN SUN 19:30 Radio 3 Live in Concert b04t9717 (Listen) SUN Faure Quartet, Grigory Gruzman - Mahler, Beethoven, SUN Mussorgsky SUN SUN Live from Wigmore Hall, London.

Fauré Quartet SUN and Grigory Gruzman SUN SUN Fauré Quartet, SUN Grigory Gruzman (piano). SUN SUN Two unusual arrangements form the backbone of this Wigmore SUN Hall concert: Beethoven's Piano Quartet is an arrangement of SUN his Quintet for piano and wind (Op 16), while Mussorgsky's SUN Pictures from an Exhibition - originally composed for piano, SUN but probably better known in Ravel's orchestration - is SUN heard in a colourful new chamber arrangement by tonight's SUN performers. SUN SUN 22:00 Drama on 3 b04t9719 (Listen) SUN Decameron Nights, Five Italian Indelicacies Remixed from SUN Boccaccio SUN SUN Terry Jones introduces five ripping Renaissance yarns from SUN The Decameron, starring John Finnemore, Ingrid Oliver, SUN Carrie Quinlan, Lydia Leonard, Samuel Barnett and Colin SUN McFarlane. SUN SUN The one hundred stories which make up Giovanni Boccaccio's SUN humane and comic masterpiece, come from all over the world. SUN They are vividly reset by Boccaccio among the flourishing SUN merchant classes in the cities of Renaissance Italy. But SUN their witty, satirical, bawdy voice sounds utterly modern, SUN and their subjects - love, fate, sex, religion, morality - SUN are universal. SUN SUN Radio 3 is retelling ten of these choice Florentine Fancies, SUN this week and next, adapted by Robin Brooks. Tonight's SUN selection box of five tales has been broadcast every evening SUN this week in the Essay. A further five dainties will be SUN served in next week's Drama on 3. SUN SUN Boccaccio was born to a Florentine banking family in 1313. SUN After an unsuccessful start in law, he turned to his true SUN love: poetry. A humanist and a pupil of Petrarch, SUN Boccaccio's Latin poetry was famous across Europe, and SUN provided the sources for his near-contemporary Chaucer's SUN Troilus and Criseyde, and The Knight's Tale. But his real SUN innovation was the vibrant, vernacular prose in which he SUN wrote The Decameron. Beautifully realised in the teeming SUN voices of merchants and prostitutes, knights and nuns, SUN shopkeepers and conmen, these stories have become a bedrock SUN of our storytelling tradition, mined ever since by Chaucer, SUN Shakespeare, Moliere, Lope de Vega, Christine de Pizan, SUN Swift, Keats, Shelley, Tennyson, Edgar Allan Poe, Caryl SUN Churchill and many more. SUN SUN The music for the series is arranged and performed by Robert SUN Hollingworth, Director of I Fagiolini, and the lutenist SUN Paula Chateauneuf, with translations by Silvia Reseghetti. SUN The script consultant is Guyda Armstrong. SUN SUN SAINT CIAPPELLETTO SUN SUN All is not what it seems, when a fourteenth-century Tony SUN Soprano makes his deathbed confession. SUN SUN FEDERIGO AND HIS FALCON SUN SUN Courtly Federigo spends every last groat trying to win the SUN affections of the beautiful Monna. But there is only one SUN thing of his that she wants. And it has feathers. SUN SUN HOW ELENA BLEW HOT AND COLD SUN SUN Widowed Elena sleeps around, though she likes to keep up SUN appearances. But when she snubs one man for the amusement of SUN another, she picks the wrong victim. SUN SUN HOW TO GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST SUN SUN When Zeppa discovers his wife with his best friend, he's SUN keen to make a proportionate response. SUN SUN KIND HEARTS AND BAYONETS SUN SUN Mithridanes wants to be a wise and generous benefactor. SUN Sadly, his neighbour Nathan is always wiser and more SUN generous. How best to deal with this problem? Wisely and SUN generously? Or.... not so much?

MON MON 12:00 Composer of the Week b04t992f (Listen) MON Robert Schumann (1810-1856), Poet or Composer? MON MON Donald Macleod investigates the literary catalysts that MON fired Schumann's musical imagination. Today, early MON enthusiasms, including Lord Byron and Jean Paul Richter. MON MON "Get your head out of that book!" is probably not a MON reprimand the young Robert Schumann was used to receiving. MON He grew up in a household that lived and breathed MON literature. His father was a novelist, bookseller and MON publisher who made a small fortune from his pocket editions MON of foreign-language classics in translation. As a teenager MON Schumann wrote copiously, trying his hand at fiction, poetry MON and plays, and it took him several years to satisfy himself MON that he was a composer rather than a writer. But his MON literary passion persisted, informing not only the texts he MON set but his whole conception of musical narrative and MON structure. MON MON In today's programme he explores some early enthusiasms: MON Lord Byron; poet and physician Justinus Kerner; MON early-Romantic poet and indologist Friedrich Schlegel; and MON above all the novelist Jean Paul Richter - as fashionable in MON his day as he is obscure in ours - whose literary style the MON essayist Thomas Carlyle described as "flowing onwards not MON like a river, but an inundation, circling in complex eddies, MON chafing and gurgling now this way, now that, until the MON proper current sinks out of view amid the boundless uproar".

MON MON Spanning thousands of years, from King David and the MON creation of the Psalms, to composers writing today including MON Steve Reich and Robert Saxton, Norman uncovers a wealth of MON fascinating stories about the role music has played at some MON of the key points in Jewish history. MON MON Taking as his starting point the moment at which the Jews MON were finally able to enter the Western classical music MON tradition in a professional capacity, in today's programme MON Norman investigates the idea of a "Jewish thumbprint" in the MON music of Mendelssohn and others. Leading Israeli composer MON Noam Sheriff and conductor Michael Tilson Thomas talk about MON why Mahler's Jewishness speaks so strongly to them through MON his symphonies, and Michael Grade explains how the Jewish MON art of being one step ahead impacted so strongly on the MON entertainment industry in the twentieth century. MON MON With contributions from the musicologist and founder of the MON Boston Camerata, Joel Cohen, the writer David Conway, the MON composers Robert Saxton, Gideon Lewensohn and Noam Sheriff, MON Professor Susan Wollenberg of Oxford University, the MON conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and former Chairman of the MON BBC, Michael Grade.

Today, ploughman poet TUE Rabbie Burns and ETA Hoffmann, spinner of fantastic tales. TUE TUE "Get your head out of that book!" is probably not a TUE reprimand the young Robert Schumann was used to receiving. TUE He grew up in a household that lived and breathed TUE literature. His father was a novelist, bookseller and TUE publisher who made a small fortune from his pocket editions TUE of foreign-language classics in translation. As a teenager TUE Schumann wrote copiously, trying his hand at fiction, poetry TUE and plays, and it took him several years to satisfy himself TUE that he was a composer rather than a writer. But his TUE literary passion persisted, informing not only the texts he TUE set but his whole conception of musical narrative and TUE structure. TUE TUE Today's programme focuses on the 'ploughman poet' Rabbie TUE Burns and ETA Hoffmann, a spinner of fantastic tales who was TUE himself later transmuted into fiction as the central TUE character in the Offenbach opera that bears his name. TUE Schumann set a number of Burns's poems, but the influence of TUE Hoffmann went deeper; his fictional invention the composer TUE Johannes Kreisler, a crazed genius at odds with conventional TUE society, lies behind one of Schumann's most characteristic TUE piano creations, Kreisleriana, a suite of eight movements TUE that depict Kreisler's fragmented personality. When she TUE heard it for the first time, Schumann's future wife Clara TUE commented: "Sometimes your music actually frightens me, and TUE I wonder, is it really true that the creator of such things TUE is going to be my husband?".

TUE TUE Mozart's Quartet in G, completed on New Year's Eve 1782, is TUE the first of the set composed in honour of Josef Haydn - the TUE father of the string quartet. Nearly a century later, TUE Smetana's Quartet in E minor has the subtitle 'From my Life' TUE and has an autobiographical sub-text which looks back over TUE the composer's life and loves - including his tinnitus and TUE increasing deafness, events which led to a complete mental TUE collapse a few years later. TUE TUE The contemporary Latvian composer Peteris Vasks also TUE reflects on the world in his String Quartet no 5 - music TUE influenced by his compassion for 'a world tortured by grief TUE and contradictions'.

TUE TUE The one hundred stories which make up Giovanni Boccaccio's TUE humane and comic masterpiece, come from all over the world. TUE TUE They are vividly reset by Boccaccio among the flourishing TUE merchant classes in the cities of Renaissance Italy. But TUE their witty, satirical, bawdy voice sounds utterly modern, TUE and their subjects - love, fate, sex, religion, morality - TUE are universal. TUE TUE Radio 3 is retelling ten of these choice Florentine Fancies, TUE adapted from Boccaccio by Robin Brooks, and introduced by TUE Terry Jones. Like the original, our stories are told over TUE ten days, each of which has its own theme. You can hear them TUE every evening in the Essay, and in omnibus form on Sunday TUE Evenings in Drama on 3. TUE TUE The music for the series is arranged and performed by Robert TUE Hollingworth, Director of I Fagiolini, and the lutenist TUE Paula Chateauneuf, with translations by Silvia Reseghetti. TUE The script consultant is Guyda Armstrong. TUE TUE Today's theme: "Those who after misadventures, find TUE unexpected happiness." TUE TUE When Bernabo makes a bet on his wife's chastity, and his TUE friend sets out to prove him wrong, neither man imagines the TUE matter will change their lives forever. TUE TUE Giovanni Boccaccio was born to a Florentine banking family TUE in 1313. After an unsuccessful start in law, he turned to TUE his true love: poetry. A humanist and a pupil of Petrarch, TUE Boccaccio's Latin poetry was famous across Europe, and TUE provided the sources for his near-contemporary Chaucer's TUE Troilus and Criseyde, and The Knight's Tale. But his real TUE innovation was the vibrant, vernacular prose in which he TUE wrote The Decameron. Beautifully realised in the teeming TUE voices of merchants and prostitutes, knights and nuns, TUE shopkeepers and conmen, these one hundred stories have TUE become a bedrock of our storytelling tradition, mined ever TUE since by Chaucer, Shakespeare, Moliere, Lope de Vega, TUE Christine de Pizan, Swift, Keats, Shelley, Tennyson, Edgar TUE Allan Poe, Caryl Churchill and many more.

Today, Hans Christian WED Andersen, Friedrich von Schiller and Heinrich Heine. WED WED "Get your head out of that book!" is probably not a WED reprimand the young Robert Schumann was used to receiving. WED He grew up in a household that lived and breathed WED literature. His father was a novelist, bookseller and WED publisher who made a small fortune from his pocket editions WED of foreign-language classics in translation.

But his WED literary passion persisted, informing not only the texts he WED set but his whole conception of musical narrative and WED structure. WED WED Today's writers are Hans Christian Andersen, whom Schumann's WED wife Clara unflatteringly described as "still somewhat WED young, but very ugly, and also frightfully vain and WED egotistic"; Friedrich von Schiller, of Ode to Joy fame; and WED Heinrich Heine, a divisive figure to this day, who has the WED distinction of having been set to music more often than WED almost any other German-language poet. According to WED Andersen's autobiography he was delighted by Schumann's WED settings of his poetry, which he heard at a dinner in 1844 WED at which the composer was also present. Schumann considered WED writing an opera based on Schiller's tragedy The Bride of WED Messina, but got no further than the overture, which WED condenses the essence of the play into eight searing WED minutes. Heine is the poet behind Schumann's first WED Liederkreis cycle. The two men met just once, in 1828; WED Schumann, then a student on a visit to Munich, paid a WED house-call to Heine, who showed him the sights of the city. WED When twelve years later Schumann sent Heine a copy of his WED new song-cycle, the poet didn't even acknowledge it.

WED WED The one hundred stories which make up Giovanni Boccaccio's WED humane and comic masterpiece, come from all over the world. WED WED They are vividly reset by Boccaccio among the flourishing WED merchant classes in the cities of Renaissance Italy. But WED their witty, satirical, bawdy voice sounds utterly modern, WED and their subjects - love, fate, sex, religion, morality - WED are universal. WED WED Radio 3 is retelling ten of these choice Florentine Fancies, WED adapted from Boccaccio by Robin Brooks, and introduced by WED Terry Jones. Like the original, our stories are told over WED ten days, each of which has its own theme. You can hear them WED every evening in the Essay, and in omnibus form on Sunday WED Evenings in Drama on 3. WED WED The music for the series is arranged and performed by Robert WED Hollingworth, Director of I Fagiolini, and the lutenist WED Paula Chateauneuf, with translations by Silvia Reseghetti. WED The script consultant is Guyda Armstrong. WED WED Today's theme: "Those who lose something, and then regain WED it." WED WED Masetto's having a quiet drink, when the chance of a new job WED comes his way. WED WED Giovanni Boccaccio was born to a Florentine banking family WED in 1313. After an unsuccessful start in law, he turned to WED his true love: poetry. A humanist and a pupil of Petrarch, WED Boccaccio's Latin poetry was famous across Europe, and WED provided the sources for his near-contemporary Chaucer's WED Troilus and Criseyde, and The Knight's Tale. But his real WED innovation was the vibrant, vernacular prose in which he WED wrote The Decameron. Beautifully realised in the teeming WED voices of merchants and prostitutes, knights and nuns, WED shopkeepers and conmen, these one hundred stories have WED become a bedrock of our storytelling tradition, mined ever WED since by Chaucer, Shakespeare, Moliere, Lope de Vega, WED Christine de Pizan, Swift, Keats, Shelley, Tennyson, Edgar WED Allan Poe, Caryl Churchill and many more.

THU THU Donald Macleod investigates the literary catalysts that THU fired Schumann's musical imagination. Today, Christian THU Friedrich Hebbel, the writer behind Schumann's only opera. THU THU "Get your head out of that book!" is probably not a THU reprimand the young Robert Schumann was used to receiving. THU He grew up in a household that lived and breathed THU literature. His father was a novelist, bookseller and THU publisher who made a small fortune from his pocket editions THU of foreign-language classics in translation. As a teenager THU Schumann wrote copiously, trying his hand at fiction, poetry THU and plays, and it took him several years to satisfy himself THU that he was a composer rather than a writer. But his THU literary passion persisted, informing not only the texts he THU set but his whole conception of musical narrative and THU structure. THU THU "A great honour has befallen our house - Friedrich Hebbel THU visited us on his journey through. He is arguably the THU greatest genius of our day." Well that's as may be, but for THU us, Hebbel - the focus of today's programme - is certainly THU one of the less familiar giants in Schumann's literary THU pantheon. He wrote novellas, poems and essays, but was best THU known to his contemporaries for his biblical and historical THU dramas, and it was one of these - Genoveva, a decidedly THU pre-feminist tale of male weakness and wifely devotion set THU in the 8th century - that gave Schumann the impetus for his THU one and only opera.

THU THU The BBC Singers led by their chief conductor David Hill THU perform sacred and secular French choral music with a THU seasonal flavour. THU THU The 20th century is a truly golden age in French music with THU a wealth of gloriously sumptuous and seductively perfumed THU harmony to be discovered.

From the rich, film-score sensuality of THU Poulenc's "Un soir de neige" to the lyrical, reflective THU sound world of the chansons of Ravel and Debussy, this THU is a perfect showcase for the virtuosity of the BBC Singers THU under their chief conductor David Hill.

Adapting Goethe's words was inconceivable, FRI so Schumann decided to set them straight in his Scenes from FRI Goethe's Faust - a kind of secular oratorio on the theme of FRI redemption.

Taking the FRI medieval idea of the 'four humours' of the human FRI constitution, Nielsen constructs a drama of vivid contrasts, FRI from impetuous violence of the first 'choleric' movement to FRI the irresistible dancing breeziness of the 'sanguine' FRI finale. In between comes a 'melancholy' Andante of majestic FRI expressive power, worthy of Rachmaninov, whose consoling FRI cantata Spring opens the concert, performed with baritone FRI Igor Golovatenko and BBC Symphony Chorus. The male chorus FRI joins American master-pianist Garrick Ohlsson for Busoni's FRI extraordinary concerto, once called 'a hymn to FRI immoderation'. FRI FRI Credits FRI Performer: The BBC Symphony Chorus FRI Performer: BBC Symphony Orchestra FRI FRI 22:45 Decameron Nights: Ten Italian Indelicacies Remixed FRI from Boccaccio b04tcd6c (Listen) FRI A Quiet Night in Naples FRI FRI Terry Jones introduces another tasty Renaissance tale. FRI FRI The one hundred stories which make up Giovanni Boccaccio's FRI humane and comic masterpiece, come from all over the world. FRI FRI They are vividly reset by Boccaccio among the flourishing FRI merchant classes in the cities of Renaissance Italy. But FRI their witty, satirical, bawdy voice sounds utterly modern, FRI and their subjects - love, fate, sex, religion, morality - FRI are universal. FRI FRI Radio 3 is retelling ten of these choice Florentine Fancies, FRI adapted from Boccaccio by Robin Brooks, and introduced by FRI Terry Jones. Like the original, our stories are told over FRI ten days, each of which has its own theme. You can hear them FRI every evening in the Essay, and in omnibus form on Sunday FRI Evenings in Drama on 3. FRI FRI The music for the series is arranged and performed by Robert FRI Hollingworth, Director of I Fagiolini, and the lutenist FRI Paula Chateauneuf, with translations by Silvia Reseghetti. FRI The script consultant is Guyda Armstrong. FRI FRI Today's theme is: "Adventures which end in triumph." FRI FRI Country boy Andreuccio comes to Naples to buy a horse. If FRI only life in Naples were so straightforward. FRI FRI Giovanni Boccaccio was born to a Florentine banking family FRI in 1313. After an unsuccessful start in law, he turned to FRI his true love: poetry. A humanist and a pupil of Petrarch, FRI Boccaccio's Latin poetry was famous across Europe, and FRI provided the sources for his near-contemporary Chaucer's FRI Troilus and Criseyde, and The Knight's Tale. But his real FRI innovation was the vibrant, vernacular prose in which he FRI wrote The Decameron. Beautifully realised in the teeming FRI voices of merchants and prostitutes, knights and nuns, FRI shopkeepers and conmen, these one hundred stories have FRI become a bedrock of our storytelling tradition, mined ever FRI since by Chaucer, Shakespeare, Moliere, Lope de Vega, FRI Christine de Pizan, Swift, Keats, Shelley, Tennyson, Edgar FRI Allan Poe, Caryl Churchill and many more.
