SAT SAT Richard Strauss's works are staples of both concert hall and SAT opera house, and yet relatively little is known - or SAT discussed - of the man himself. What we do know about SAT Strauss - that he was incredibly astute SAT financially, that his relationship with the Nazis was SAT "complicated", and that his wife Pauline was as assertive SAT and domineering as his mother was not - is a roughly-drawn SAT portrait of the man which was propagated by almost all his SAT contemporaries, and indeed by Strauss himself. A man who SAT strove to control almost obsessively what was known about SAT him, what clichés there are have largely succeeded in SAT deterring scholars from taking more than a passing interest SAT in this most complex of characters. SAT SAT Drawing extensively on brand new research, Tom Service SAT travels to Switzerland - where Strauss lived from October SAT 1945 for almost four years - in search of the real Richard SAT Strauss, and in the process sheds fascinating new light on SAT some of the composer's later music in particular. SAT SAT With contributions from leading Strauss authority Michael SAT Kennedy, Professor Chris Walton of Basel University of Music SAT in Switzerland, Jurgen May of the Richard Strauss Institute SAT in Garmisch Partenkirchen, and Gundula Kreuzer of Yale SAT University.

SUN SUN 12:00 Private Passions b04wmg26 (Listen) SUN Kate Gross SUN SUN On Private Passions Michael Berkeley's guest is the charity SUN CEO and cancer blogger, Kate Gross, who sadly died on SUN Christmas morning, at the age of only 36. SUN SUN Michael Berkeley writes: SUN SUN 'Kate Gross was an SUN unforgettable guest on Private Passions: so bright and SUN charismatic, full of life and curiosity about the world, SUN despite being gravely ill when we met last autumn. And SUN indeed, all through her life she was the kind of person SUN everybody envied. Hugely successful in her career, by only SUN 27, she had risen so quickly up through the civil service SUN that she was briefing Tony Blair before Prime Minister's SUN Questions; by 29 she had left the civil service to set up SUN Blair's African Charity, the Africa Governance Initiative, SUN managing an annual budget of 5 million pounds. But then her SUN life fell apart. On the plane back from America, she SUN collapsed, and went straight to hospital when she landed. It SUN was then that she was diagnosed with Stage 4 bowel cancer: a SUN terminal diagnosis. SUN SUN This was how in 2012 Kate Gross the CEO turned into Kate SUN Gross the cancer blogger. Her blog - which is soon to be a SUN book - chronicled her life in and out of hospital over the SUN last two years. It's very moving, but also sharp and funny. SUN Sadly she died before the book was published. SUN But her family are happy for this programme to be broadcast; SUN Kate knew it would be her memorial.' SUN SUN In Private Passions, Kate talks about the music which has SUN sustained her: Schubert's final Piano Sonata; Mozart's 'The SUN Magic Flute'; Bernstein's 'West Side Story', Dvorak's 'Songs SUN my Mother Taught Me' and Ralph Fiennes reading T.S.Eliot's SUN 'Four Quartets'.

SUN SUN 14:00 The Early Music Show b00mrxcc (Listen) SUN The Story of Ann Cargill SUN SUN Lucie Skeaping visits the Scilly Isles to learn about the SUN actress and singer Ann Cargill, who drowned in a dramatic SUN shipwreck there in 1784, and whose ghost is said to have SUN haunted Rosevear Island ever since. SUN Ann made her London stage debut in 1771 at the tender age of SUN eleven in Thomas Arne's opera "The Fairy Prince" at Covent SUN Garden. Later she eloped with a married man eighteen years SUN her senior, and her father washed his hands of her. She SUN continued to be a popular draw at Drury Lane, in productions SUN of John Gay's "The Beggar's Opera" and Thomas Linley's "The SUN Duenna", but her love-life became more scandalous. SUN Eventually, she fell in love with a merchant seaman and, SUN carrying his illegitimate child, left London to start a new SUN life with him in India. In Bombay she received a mixed SUN reception and some were distinctly unimpressed that an SUN "English strumpet" was bringing shame and embarrassment to SUN the nation. One such was the Prime Minister, William Pitt SUN the Younger, who demanded her return to Britain forthwith. SUN So in December 1783, Ann and her husband boarded a ship - SUN the Nancy Packet - and set sail for London. They arrived in SUN British waters in February 1784 amidst a horrific gale, and SUN the ship struck one of the many treacherous rocks off the SUN western reaches of Scilly.

SUN SUN 17:30 Words and Music b04wmhb9 (Listen) SUN TS Eliot SUN SUN A special edition of music and poetry read by Simon Russell SUN Beale to mark the 50th anniversary of T.S. Eliot's death SUN with poems including Four Quartets, The Waste Land, Marina SUN and Landscapes and music by Thomas Ades, Beethoven, SUN Stravinsky and Chopin. SUN SUN Producer Note SUN SUN This week’s Words and Music is a special edition which marks SUN the 50th anniversary of the death of T.S. Eliot with words SUN by the poet and music which he admired and was inspired by SUN and work inspired in turn by him. SUN SUN Beethoven was perhaps the composer best loved by Eliot. In SUN 1931 he wrote to Stephen Spender: ‘I have the A Minor SUN Quartet on the gramophone, and I find it quite inexhaustible SUN to study. There is a sort of heavenly, or at least more than SUN human gaiety about some of his later things which one SUN imagines might come to oneself as the fruit of SUN reconciliation and relief after immense suffering; I should SUN like to get something of that into verse before I die.’ The SUN late Quartet in A Minor op 132 was even said by Eliot to SUN have been the inspiration behind his masterpiece, ‘Four SUN Quartets’. Here you’ll hear it alongside Simon Russell Beale SUN reading from ‘Burnt Norton’. That’s followed by the Russian SUN composer Sofia Gubaidulina’s ‘Hommage a T.S. Eliot’ written SUN after she had read ‘Four Quartets’ and found herself SUN responding to the spiritual elements expressed in the poem. SUN SUN T.S. Eliot himself reads from ‘The Love Song of J. Alfred SUN Prufrock’, published in 1917 and seen as marking a huge SUN cultural shift from the pre-war period towards modernism. SUN Its many references to Hamlet are echoed in Roger Quilter’s SUN ‘How should I your true love know?’ sung beautifully by SUN Jonathan Lemalu with piano accompaniment by Malcolm SUN Martineau. Shakespeare too was the inspiration for Eliot’s SUN ‘Marina’, which retells the story of Pericles’ long-lost SUN daughter. There are also echoes of ‘The Tempest’ and the SUN poem is heard with the ‘Intermezzo’ from Sibelius’ ‘Tempest SUN Suite’ and Frank Martin’s ‘Full Fathom Five’. SUN SUN In the 1930s T.S. Eliot published his ‘Old Possum’s Book of SUN Practical Cats’, poems written for his godchildren. You’ll SUN hear Simon read ‘Gus, the theatre cat’ which must have been SUN inspired in part by the poet’s love of the theatre. In his SUN early years he was a huge fan of music hall and a great SUN admirer of Marie Lloyd. The Old Possum poems were, of SUN course, the inspiration for one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s SUN most successful musical, ‘Cats’, which has just been revived SUN in London. SUN SUN In 1957 Eliot married his second wife, Valerie. It was a SUN very happy marriage and Simon reads ‘A Dedication to my SUN Wife’ which shows a very unexpected side to the poet. It’s SUN followed by ‘On the street where you live’ from the musical, SUN ‘My Fair Lady’, a show much enjoyed by Eliot : he’s said to SUN have liked it far more than ‘Pygmalion’. SUN SUN Max Richter’s one act ballet ‘Infra’ was inspired by ‘The SUN Waste Land’ and is heard with a section from ‘The Fire SUN Sermon’ read by Simon and Paul Scofield. SUN SUN A chorus from ‘The Rock’ is followed by the American SUN composer Vincent Persichetti’s ‘ The Hollow Men’, based on SUN Eliot’s 1944 poem.’ SUN SUN The programme ends with ‘Little Gidding’, the final part of SUN Eliot’s ‘Four Quartets’. The lyrics in Stravinsky’s ‘The SUN Dove Descending’ are from the fourth section of the poem. SUN Stravinsky was the only internationally renowned composer to SUN set Eliot’s words to music during the poet’s lifetime and SUN the work was performed at Eliot’s memorial service in SUN February 1965 at Westminster Abbey. The two had met in 1956 SUN at the Savoy Hotel in London where they talked about dance SUN and Tristan and Isolde. SUN SUN Simon’s reading of the end of ‘Four Quartets’ is followed by SUN Thomas Ades’ ‘…..but all shall be well’, inspired by the SUN poem and Eliot’s hard won optimism expressed in his final SUN words that: SUN SUN ‘..all shall be well and SUN All manner of things shall be well SUN When the tongues of flame are in-folded SUN Into the crowned knot of fire SUN And the fire and the rose are one.’ SUN SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature b04wmhbc (Listen) SUN Thom Gunn: Appropriate Measures SUN SUN Author Colm Tóibín profiles the Anglo-American poet Thom SUN Gunn (1929-2004), self-professed lover of "loud music, bars SUN and boisterous men", whose tightly-wrought poetry imposed SUN control and order upon his SUN hedonistic lifestyle. SUN SUN It's just over a decade since Thom Gunn died aged 74 at his SUN San Francisco home, after a heroin-fuelled tryst with a man SUN who disappeared into the night. He left behind the love of SUN his life, Mike Kitay, his partner for more than half a SUN century - and a legion of admirers who adored the thrilling SUN tension in his work between its wild, often explicit subject SUN matter, and Elizabethan verse forms of Gunn's literary SUN heroes, Donne and Shakespeare. SUN SUN Thom Gunn rose to prominence aged only 25, when his first SUN volume "Fighting Terms" was published, just a year after he SUN graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge. Its purity of SUN language and use of traditional metrics led Gunn to be SUN bracketed with Philip Larkin, Ted Hughes and others as "the SUN Movement" - a loose group of poets whose cool, spare verses SUN set them in opposition to the overblown imagery and SUN linguistic excess of 1940s poetry, particularly Dylan SUN Thomas. SUN SUN Yet a move to the USA that same year would change Gunn's SUN life forever. Following his American lover, Mike Kitay, SUN across the Atlantic, he found himself beguiled by the Harley SUN Davidsons, leather jackets and rock and roll of his adopted SUN homeland - and later, the LSD, free love and gay bathhouses SUN of 1960s San Francisco - all of which he chronicled vividly SUN in his poetry. SUN SUN His British critics were appalled: for them, Gunn had sadly SUN 'gone bad', squandering his dazzling intellect in debauched SUN experience and worse of all - experiments in free verse. But SUN in the USA it was a different story, as Gunn chronicled LSD SUN trips, sexual adventures and street vagrants in a poetic SUN voice reminiscent of Thomas Wyatt or Ben Jonson. SUN SUN Gunn would finally receive universal acclaim with his 1992 SUN volume "The Man With Night Sweats" - a profound meditation SUN on the effect of AIDS on the people and community that he SUN loved, and his own feelings on remaining HIV-negative. It SUN is, perhaps, the greatest volume of poetry on what San SUN Franciscans called "The Plague" in English. Yet Gunn was SUN increasingly struggling to write - and as his poetic SUN inspiration dried up, he began to engage in increasingly SUN risky behaviour, endangering his life as he sought out new SUN adventures of experience. SUN SUN Irish writer and poet Colm Tóibín grew up furtively reading SUN Gunn in a society where his own homosexuality was officially SUN proscribed. He guides us through the themes of control and SUN experience in Gunn's work, and explores the single most SUN shattering event in Gunn's life - one which, Tóibín argues, SUN precipitated the outpouring of his mature poetry and SUN construction of his poetic identity: the suicide of Thom SUN Gunn's mother, when he was only 15. SUN SUN With contributions from Mike Kitay, Bob Bair, August SUN Kleinzahler, Clive Wilmer, Wendy Lesser, Joshua Weiner, Tom SUN Sleigh, Anne Winters, Jim Powell and Don Baird. The feature SUN includes sexual issues and discusses drug-taking.

SUN Giving their second performance this summer, the Leipzig SUN Gewandhaus Orchestra and conductor Alan Gilbert are joined SUN by an international cast of soloists for this audacious SUN musical testament of faith and unity across all nations and SUN creeds. When Mahler later said that a symphony should SUN 'embrace the whole universe', it's hard to imagine he wasn't SUN thinking of Beethoven's mighty 'Choral' Symphony.

SUN SUN in a version by David Harrower, adapted for radio by Robin SUN Brooks.

The BBC Proms marked the occasion with a concert SUN from one of the UK's leading new-music ensembles, the SUN Birmingham Contemporary Music Group. SUN SUN The group's relationship with Birtwistle's music is a long SUN one, and here it performs three of the composer's classic SUN early works. Each explores the spatial dramatisation of SUN music, playing aural games with the audience and exposing SUN them to intriguing and unfamiliar textures, while never SUN neglecting the ever-unfolding melody that is at the core of SUN all Birtwistle's music.

MON MON 12:00 Composer of the Week b04wmjqq (Listen) MON Franz Liszt (1811-1886), A Rock Star in the Country MON MON Donald Macleod presents a rare opportunity to hear all 13 of MON Liszt's symphonic poems. Today: the composer moves to Weimar MON with his mistress Carolyne. MON MON In 1848, as revolution raged across Europe, Franz Liszt made MON the decision to walk away from his life as the most MON scandalous and brilliant piano virtuoso in the world - and MON settle down in the provincial German city of Weimar. Over MON the next twelve years he would forge a reputation as one of MON the most original composers of the Romantic Era - inventing MON a genre of composition that became known as the 'symphonic MON poem'. Liszt's new form of orchestral piece spun poetic or MON literary fables in music, evoking moods and images in its MON themes and harmonies, depicting heroes and villains, dramas MON and triumphs - a radical departure from the symphonic ideal MON of Beethoven and Brahms. This week, Donald Macleod presents MON a unique opportunity to hear all twelve of the symphonic MON poems Liszt created in Weimar - plus his final, valedictory MON symphonic poem, composed many years later, just before his MON own death. MON MON We begin with Liszt's move to Weimar in 1848, accompanied by MON his beloved mistress Princess Carolyne von MON Sayn-Wittgenstein, a Russian aristocrat. With Carolyne still MON married to her Russian prince, the pair courted scandal by MON openly living 'in sin' at their spectacular Weimar MON residence, the Altenberg. Meanwhile, Liszt was busily MON composing what would ultimately prove his most popular MON symphonic poem, "Les Préludes", inspired by words by MON Alphonse de Lamartine.

He was born MON near Aleppo in the year 973. Although welcomed in the MON literary salons of Baghdad, al-Ma'arri became an ascetic, MON who avoided other people, and refused to sell his poetry. MON MON Al-Ma'arri was notable as a religious sceptic; he deemed it MON a matter of geographical accident what faith people adopted, MON and rejected the idea that Islam had a monopoly on truth. He MON opposed all violence and killing, becoming a vegan and MON avoiding the use of animal skins in clothing and footwear. MON Al-Ma'arri is a distinguished, if rare, example of a MON rationalist in the Islamic world, and one who was writing MON half a millennium before the Enlightenment thinkers of the MON West such as Voltaire.

Now TUE established in Weimar, Liszt protects his friend Wagner as TUE he flees arrest. TUE TUE In 1848, as revolution raged across Europe, Franz Liszt made TUE the decision to walk TUE away from his life as the most scandalous and brilliant TUE piano virtuoso in the world - and settle down in the TUE provincial German city of Weimar. Over the next twelve years TUE he would forge a reputation as one of the most original TUE composers of the Romantic Era - inventing a genre of TUE composition that became known as the 'symphonic poem'. TUE Liszt's new form of orchestral piece spun poetic or literary TUE fables in music, evoking moods and images in its themes and TUE harmonies, depicting heroes and villains, dramas and TUE triumphs - a radical departure from the symphonic ideal of TUE Beethoven and Brahms. This week, Donald Macleod presents a TUE unique opportunity to hear all twelve of the symphonic poems TUE Liszt created in Weimar - plus his final, valedictory TUE symphonic poem, composed many years later, just before his TUE own death. TUE TUE As Liszt began to establish a reputation as a composer in TUE Weimar, he also began to cultivate a reputation as an TUE innovative and dynamic conductor. Liszt was diverted from TUE his musical work by the travails of his friend Richard TUE Wagner, who was fleeing arrest after inciting revolution in TUE Dresden. Donald Macleod introduces the symphonic poems TUE Mazeppa and Heroïde Funebre - both rarely played in the TUE concert hall - as well as Liszt's take on the Orpheus myth.

Sibelius tells a dark story of the swan who TUE guards the entrance to Tuonela, the Finnish underworld. TUE Danish composer Rued Langgaard was TUE on an anti-modernist mission to stop twentieth-century music TUE "falling into dissolution and vulgarization". His seventh TUE symphony harks back to the "pure truth" of Romantic music. TUE TUE Radio 3 New Generation Artist Elena Urioste is the soloist TUE in Korngold's technicolor violin concerto, written at the TUE end of the second world war when Korngold was at the height TUE of his powers as a Hollywood composer. As a child prodigy TUE he'd grown up in Vienna and took lessons from Zemlinsky. TUE During his own lifetime, Zemlinsky was better known as a TUE conductor, but his music has grown in popularity in recent TUE years, most notably with his Fantasy The Little Mermaid, TUE whose statue famously sits in Copenhagen harbour. Hans TUE Christian Andersen's tale of rejected love was particularly TUE poignant to the composer, who had been infatuated by Alma TUE Schindler, only to be rejected by her in favour of Mahler. TUE In his youth, Zemlinsky had been championed by Brahms, whose TUE first piano concerto was the first orchestral score to put TUE the composer firmly on the map.

TUE TUE Tom Shakespeare challenges stereotypical ideas about TUE creativity and disability, by celebrating five disabled TUE artists, discussing how their impairments fuelled their TUE genius and demonstrating the variety and TUE achievement of disabled lives. TUE TUE Bryan Pearce, a painter from St Ives in Cornwall, was one of TUE the very few people with learning disability who has TUE achieved fame in their own right. He was born with the TUE metabolic disorder Phenylketonuria. Today, all children are TUE tested at birth for PKU, and if they have the genetic TUE mutation, are placed on a special diet, and so grow up TUE unaffected. In 1929, the condition was unknown, and as a TUE result, Bryan Pearce experienced intellectual impairment and TUE other health problems. TUE TUE As a teenager, Bryan was encouraged by his mother and other TUE artists to paint. His obvious talent meant that he attended TUE the St Ives School of Painting during his twenties. Although TUE he painted slowly, producing perhaps one picture a month, he TUE had a long and very successful career, exhibiting throughout TUE the UK. Bryan Pearce was limited in his ability to learn and TUE communicate verbally. But alongside his deficits was a huge TUE talent to see and communicate through art. As he said to his TUE mother: "What would I do if I didn't paint? What would I TUE do?" TUE TUE Producer: Martin Williams.

WED WED The visionary Brazilian sculptor Arthur Bispo do Rosario WED spent fifty years of his life on a Rio de Janeiro WED psychiatric ward, and did not even think of himself as an WED artist. WED WED Born in Japaratuba on the east coast of Brazil, the WED descendent of African slaves, he was exposed to a strongly WED religious culture and to the hybrid traditions of folk art. WED He'd been a sailor and an odd-job man when, in 1938, he had WED a vision of angels bathed in light. He felt that the Virgin WED Mary had guided him to record the universe in visual form, WED in preparation for the Day of Judgement. The same year, he WED was hospitalized for treatment for paranoid schizophrenia. WED For Bispo do Rosario, this creative outpouring was a WED spiritual, not an artistic task: he saw it as his duty to WED prepare for the Last Judgement. WED WED Bispo do Rosario's work is reminiscent of surrealism, of the WED ready-mades of Marcel Duchamp, of the fabric creations of WED Louise Bourgeois, the solitary confinement of Kurt WED Schwitters: all the more extraordinary in that Bispo do WED Rosario was entirely self-taught, worked in an artistic WED vacuum, and generated all this extraordinary art through his WED own originality and imagination.

Today: the THU composer struggles to come to terms with the tragic death of THU his son Daniel. THU THU In 1848, as revolution raged across Europe, Franz Liszt made THU the decision THU to walk away from his life as the most scandalous and THU brilliant piano virtuoso in the world - and settle down in THU the small German town of Weimar. Over the next twelve years THU he would forge a reputation as one of the most original THU musical creators of the Romantic Era - inventing a new genre THU of composition that became known as the 'symphonic poem'. THU Liszt's new form of orchestral piece spun poetic or literary THU fables in music, evoking moods and images in its themes and THU harmonies, depicting heroes and villains, dramas and THU triumphs - a radical departure from the symphonic ideal of THU Beethoven and Brahms. This week, Donald Macleod presents a THU unique opportunity to hear all twelve of the symphonic poems THU Liszt created in Weimar - plus his final, valedictory THU symphonic poem, composed many years later, just before his THU own death. THU THU As Liszt took stock of nearly a decade spent in Weimar, he THU could be justifiably proud: he had shed his reputation as a THU brilliant pianistic show-pony and instead shown his vast THU talent as a composer, creating some of his most revered THU works. But his personal life was a mess. He struggled to THU gain sanction from the Catholic church to wed his beloved THU Carolyne, and then his beloved son Daniel died suddenly at THU the age of only 20. Donald Macleod explored the tragic THU circumstances of an event that Liszt said changed him for THU ever.

Grand in scope and luscious in texture, Elgar's FRI Symphony No.1 sets out to transport the listener 'beyond a FRI wide experience of human life... with love... and a massive FRI hope in the future'. The National Youth Orchestra of Great FRI Britain brings its infectious energy and passionate FRI creativity to this work, hailed by its contemporaries as FRI 'the greatest symphony of modern times' making it as fresh FRI and powerful today as it was when it was first performed in FRI 1908. FRI Accompanying this symphonic masterpiece, are Elgar's FRI arrangement of Bach's richly imaginative Fantasia and Fugue FRI in C minor, and the colourful sights and sounds of The FRI Eternal City in Respighi's Pines of Rome.

FRI FRI Lucy Jones may well be the best British painter you've never FRI heard of. There is no doubt about her disability, because FRI she was born with cerebral palsy. But she has no intention FRI of identifying as a disabled artist. Cerebral palsy and FRI dyslexia and depression are part of her biography, but FRI they're not on the label for the artwork, any more than FRI being a woman or living in Ludlow should define her or FRI explain what she does. She wants her portraits to offer a FRI universal comment on humanity.
