The performance stars SAT soprano Nino Machaidze as the servant girl Ninetta, tenor SAT René Barbera as her love Giannetto and bass-baritone Alex SAT Esposito as Ninetta's father. The melodramma in two acts is SAT based on the comedy La pie voleuse: Ninetta is condemned to SAT death for stealing silver from her employers, the Vingradito SAT family, but the opera conforms to to the traditional happy SAT ending when the silver is discovered in the eponymous SAT magpie's nest. La Gazza Ladra is perhaps most well-known for SAT its overture, but the opera has some of Rossini's finest SAT arias in this semiseria genre.

SUN SUN 12:00 Private Passions b06fl9n6 (Listen) SUN Athene Donald SUN SUN Dame Athene Donald is one of our leading physicists, and an SUN outstanding role model and campaigner for women in science. SUN She is Master of Churchill College, Professor of SUN Experimental Physics at the University of Cambridge, and as SUN the new head of the British Science Association, she has SUN already made waves suggesting that girls should be given SUN Meccano in preference to Barbie dolls to encourage them into SUN science. SUN SUN It's physics with a clear practical end - the physics of the SUN everyday - which is her passion. Her expertise lies in SUN developing techniques to study 'soft' materials: the way SUN paint particles stick together, or what happens to things SUN when you cook them, or more recently, the generic way SUN protein molecules stick together, which, for some very SUN specific proteins, is the process which underlies SUN Alzheimer's disease. A life-long promoter of women in SUN science, she is a recipient of the L'Oreal-UNESCO Award for SUN Women in Science in Europe and writes a popular and SUN entertaining blog about science, women, the wider world, and SUN sometimes music too. SUN SUN A talented viola player, she considered a career in music as SUN a teenager, and her choice of music reflects her continued SUN love of the instrument: Bach's 6th Brandenburg Concerto, SUN Janacek's String Quartet number 2 known as 'Intimate SUN Letters', and Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante for violin and SUN viola which she played with her husband, a mathematician - SUN and violinist. SUN SUN Keen to promote women in music as well as women in science, SUN she's also chosen music by the French composer Lili SUN Boulanger.

SUN SUN 17:30 Words and Music b01blmcr (Listen) SUN Different Trains SUN SUN In 1830, the first railway passenger service in the world SUN was established between Manchester and Liverpool - ever SUN since railways have exerted their special fascination, not SUN least with writers and musicians. They can evoke adventure SUN and romance, excitement, power and fear. Dickens, for SUN example, had a strong dislike of trains, but couldn't ignore SUN them in his fiction. SUN SUN The path of a train can mirror a journey through life. The SUN 19th century Parisian railway provided a powerful backdrop SUN to Emile Zola's exploration of the darker side of human SUN nature in La Bête Humaine; while for the American novelist SUN Nathaniel Hawthorne, the train was the means of carriage for SUN a soul's symbolic journey towards spiritual fulfilment. SUN Arthur Honegger famously used an orchestra to mimic the SUN sound of a great continental steam train, while Rossini - SUN who detested the railway - took a certain pleasure in SUN creating a musical depiction of a hypothetical railway SUN accident. Trains mean rendezvous, departure, loss and SUN transportation. For some, the incessant drive of a great SUN steam engine is potent expression of a mechanised SUN industrialized world. For one poet, the clickety-clack of SUN metal wheels on metal rails evokes something primeval. SUN SUN Jonathan Pryce and Eleanor Bron read poems and texts SUN celebrating our relationship with trains by Emile Zola, SUN Nathaniel Hawthorne, Charles Dickens, Wilfred Owen, Thomas SUN Hardy, Philip Larkin, Leo Tolstoy and Primo Levi; alongside SUN archive recordings from TS Eliot and John Laurie. Featured SUN "Train" music includes musical thoughts from Arthur SUN Honegger, Percy Grainger, Gioachino Rossini, Heitor SUN Villa-Lobos, Mikhail Glinka, Charles Ives, Benjamin Britten, SUN Rued Langgaard, Simon Bainbridge, Meade "Lux" Lewis and SUN Elvis Presley.

SUN SUN Cultural historian Dai Smith interrogates the Celtic myth. SUN SUN For generations, Celtic identity on the British isles has SUN been about 'not being English.' It's an interpretation you SUN can see written out in Rugby internationals, jewellery SUN design, music and poetry which has also underpinned devolved SUN politics and regional radicalism. SUN SUN In this Sunday Feature Dai Smith takes the meaning of the SUN terms 'Celt' and 'Celtic' in the twenty-first century. He SUN searches for a Celtic DNA and for Celtic language, as well SUN as the shared history that holds the six Celtic nations SUN together. At a time when many are questioning those facets SUN which hold the identities of the UK together, he also asks SUN if the use of the term Celtic to mean passionate, hot SUN blooded, or romantic is not just a harmless inaccuracy, but SUN a dangerous myth that is preventing a more mature and SUN evidence based analysis of identity around the fringes of SUN the British Isles.

MON MON 12:00 Composer of the Week b06flh06 (Listen) MON Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943), Beginnings MON MON This week Donald Macleod explores Rachmaninov the MON pianist-composer, focusing on his concertante piano works. MON Today, a student work he revisited nearly three decades MON later: his First Piano Concerto. MON MON Sergey Rachmaninov's childhood was hardly typical. Born into MON a wealthy family with significant estates, his comfortable MON nine-year-old life was disrupted by his feckless father's MON financial collapse. The estates were sold off and the family MON moved to St Petersburg, but unsurprisingly his parents' MON marriage buckled under the strain and they separated. When MON Rachmaninov, now 12 and already a talented pianist, failed MON his school exams he was packed off to Moscow to be a live-in MON piano student of the aristocratic and authoritarian Nikolay MON Zverev, who had young Sergey and two fellow victims MON practising from six in the morning. In time Rachmaninov MON progressed to the Moscow Conservatoire and fell out with MON Zverev - but luckily in the meantime he had fallen in with MON his cousins, the Satins, whose country estate at Ivanovka, MON 18 hours by train from Moscow, became first a haven then a MON home, and the place where Rachmaninov would compose most of MON his music. His First Piano Concerto was one of the earliest MON pieces he wrote there - and it was also one of the last he MON wrote before leaving Russia for good 26 years later. As he MON said at the time, "I have rewritten my First Concerto; it is MON really good now. All the youthful freshness is there, and MON yet it plays itself so much more easily."

MON MON A leading figure on the British jazz scene, known for his MON lyricism, for his contemporary approach to harmony and for MON his work as an educator and mentor, Taylor rose to MON prominence in the 1960s playing with the likes of John MON Surman, John Dankworth and Cleo Laine. MON MON As the house pianist at Ronnie Scott's in the 1970s and MON subsequently as a bandleader and recording artist for labels MON such as ECM, he worked with a host of international stars, MON among them Jan Garbarek and Peter Erskine. But he is perhaps MON best known for his partnership with trumpeter Kenny Wheeler MON - a musical relationship that lasted until Wheeler's own MON death in 2014 and that must surely count as one of the most MON important in the history of British jazz.

TUE One of the most acclaimed conductors of his generation, and TUE famed for conducting without a baton, Hungarian-born Fricsay TUE studied violin and piano with Bartók and composition with TUE Kodály. After going into hiding during the Nazi occupation TUE of Budapest, he conducted the first symphony concert in the TUE Hungarian capital after the liberation in 1945, and was TUE appointed as conductor of the Budapest Opera and the TUE Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra. Fricsay went on to forge an TUE international career, conducting orchestras including the TUE Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Berlin Radio Symphony TUE Orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and the Boston TUE Symphony Orchestra.

TUE Today, the work that brought him global fame: his Second TUE Piano Concerto. TUE TUE In March 1897, what should have been a triumphant occasion TUE for Rachmaninov - the première of his First Symphony - TUE turned into an unmitigated catastrophe. An under-rehearsed TUE orchestra under the baton of a poor and, according to some TUE accounts, inebriated conductor was enough to disadvantage TUE the work so seriously that its composer was plunged into TUE silence for the next three years. An encounter with the TUE novelist Tolstoy was arranged, in the rather surprising hope TUE that the surly old curmudgeon might be able to set the TUE diffident young composer back on track. After that failed, TUE the services of Dr Nikolai Dahl, a music-loving TUE hypnotherapist, were called upon. Whatever Dahl did, it did TUE the trick, and Rachmaninov's writer's block was TUE spectacularly broken with his Second Piano Concerto, which TUE quickly became a major international success.

After going into hiding during the Nazi occupation WED of Budapest, he conducted the first symphony concert in the WED Hungarian capital after the liberation in 1945, and was WED appointed as conductor of the Budapest Opera and the WED Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra.

WED WED 12:00 Composer of the Week b06flp29 (Listen) WED Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943), The New World WED WED This week Donald Macleod explores Rachmaninov the WED pianist-composer, focusing on his concertante piano works. WED Today, his epic and fiendishly difficult Third Piano WED Concerto. WED WED Rachmaninov's songs are probably the least-known part of his WED output, but they're well worth exploring. The Opus 26 set WED was written at the behest of Mariya Kerzina, who with her WED wealthy lawyer husband Arkady founded the 'Circle of Russian WED Music Lovers in Moscow', which grew into an important and WED influential sponsor of new music in the first decade of the WED 20th century. By the time he wrote that set of songs, WED Rachmaninov was, like everyone else, becoming increasingly WED disturbed by the political unrest he could see all around WED him. In 1906 he took his family on an extended break in WED Italy in the hope that things at home might begin to settle WED down again. An invitation to tour America offered a further WED reason to stay away but for the moment, family illness WED prevented him from accepting. Three years later, when a WED second invitation came his way, he said yes. He wrote his WED Third Piano Concerto specially for that tour. The response WED was respectful rather than ecstatic, although the second WED performance, under the baton of none other than Gustav WED Mahler, prompted a warmer response from the critics. Only WED when Vladimir Horowitz took up the concerto in the 1930s did WED it begin to achieve its current popularity in the concert WED hall.

WED WED Brahms spent the greater part of the 1850s building his WED first orchestral masterpiece, the D minor Piano Concerto, WED out of material meant for other works.It is a bold and WED daring work, stormy and dramatic, tender and lyrical, and WED filled with youthful passion and surging power written at a WED time of intense personal experiences for Brahms, most of WED which revolved around his complicated relationship with WED Robert and Clara Schumann.

THU Today, a work that failed to reflect the spirit of its time: THU his Fourth Piano Concerto. THU THU Sergey Rachmaninov spent the first two-thirds of his life in THU Russia. In the fateful year of 1917, at the age of 44, he THU realized that he must now uproot himself and his family and THU flee abroad. Someone from his landowning background would THU not have fared well under the new regime - perhaps he THU wouldn't have survived at all. As luck would have it he THU received an invitation to play a concert in Stockholm in the THU new year, and despite the chaos at home he managed to get THU permission from the authorities to travel. THU THU He made the journey with his family, taking only what could THU be carried in their luggage. They made the final leg, across THU the Swedish border, in an open sled during a blizzard, THU arriving in Stockholm on Christmas Eve. Stockholm, however, THU was to be only a temporary resting-place. Some years earlier THU he had undertaken a concert tour of America, and now he THU decided that America was where he had the best chance of THU carving out a living as a concert pianist. Before the year THU was done, the Rachmaninovs were chugging across the Atlantic THU on a Norwegian steamer, arriving in New York almost a year THU after they had fled Russia. THU THU Rachmaninov's first American work was the ill-fated Fourth THU Piano Concerto, which received a critical panning after its THU première and fared no better in Europe in a hastily revised THU version. Perhaps it just seemed too old-fashioned for the THU Roaring Twenties. Rachmaninov made one further revision, in THU 1941, but the piece still failed to capture the imagination THU of the concert-going public. In today's programme, Arturo THU Benedetti Michelangeli makes an electrifying case for the THU work. Rachmaninov's final piece for solo piano, the THU Variations on a Theme of Corelli, inhabits a totally THU different world from the concerto. Iit has its moments of THU passion, but overall it's cooler, more restrained, wistful - THU subdued even. Rachmaninov related how in performance he THU would make impromptu cuts in the work, depending on the THU amount of audience coughing.

FRI One of the most acclaimed conductors of his generation, and FRI famed for conducting without a baton, Hungarian-born Fricsay FRI studied violin and piano with Bartók and composition with FRI Kodály. After going into hiding during the Nazi occupation FRI of Budapest, he conducted the first symphony concert in the FRI Hungarian capital after the liberation in 1945, and was FRI appointed as conductor of the Budapest Opera and the FRI Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra. Fricsay went on to forge an FRI international career, conducting orchestras including the FRI Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Berlin Radio Symphony FRI Orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and the Boston FRI Symphony Orchestra.

FRI Today, a late masterpiece: the Rhapsody on a Theme of FRI Paganini. FRI FRI After his flight to America in the wake of the Russian FRI Revolution, Rachmaninov never again returned to his FRI homeland. He did make a partial return to Europe, though; in FRI 1933 he was able to move into his newly-built villa on the FRI shores of Lake Lucerne, where he would spend summers until FRI the outbreak of World War II. The serenity of the Villa FRI Senar (named after SErgei and NAtalya Rachmaninov), in FRI tandem with the not unwelcome surprise of the Steinway FRI concert grand (a housewarming gift from the company) that FRI was waiting for him when he arrived there, got Rachmaninov's FRI creative juices flowing again, and the following year, on FRI Swiss soil, he wrote one of his finest and most popular FRI pieces - a set of 24 variations on the famous 24th Caprice FRI for solo violin by Paganini. Fast-forward six years and FRI Rachmaninov is back in the USA, recuperating from a small FRI operation in a secluded house he had rented on Long Island. FRI Here, in not much more than a month, he wrote his Symphonic FRI Dances - "My last spark", he called them - a wonderfully FRI affirmative swansong from a composer famous for his FRI lugubrious manner.
