SAT SAT As part of the BBC year long celebration of opera, and the SAT Early Music Show's monthly profile of important Baroque SAT masterworks, Lucie Skeaping examines "Armide" with SAT contributions from Lully champion and conductor Hugo Reyne.

SAT SAT Lobi Traore was born in 1961 on the left bank of the River SAT Niger near Segou in Mali. He died of a heart attack on 1st SAT June 2010. SAT Both his parents were singers, and members of the komo - the SAT most important of three secret castes in Bambara society, SAT charged with the custodianship of divine knowledge. Lobi SAT followed in their footsteps living in a forest inhabited SAT with wild animals, and going days without food and water. At SAT the same time he pursued his training as a musician. Lucy SAT and Damon reminisce and play some of their favourite tracks SAT as well as preview a posthumous album due out in September. SAT Cheikh Lo is one of the great mavericks of African music who SAT dedicates both his life and music to Baye Fall, a SAT specifically Senegalese form of Islam and part of the larger SAT Islamic brotherhood of Mouridism. His 1995 album 'Ne La SAT Thiass' was produced by Youssou N'Dour and in 1996, he was SAT signed to Buena Vista Social club label World Circuit. His SAT latest album 'Jamm' was released at the end of June.

SAT SAT Welsh National Opera brings its new production of Wagner's SAT Mastersingers of Nuremberg to the Royal Albert Hall, and the SAT celebrated bass-baritone Bryn Terfel makes his debut in the SAT role of Hans Sachs, the shoemaker and poet at the heart of SAT this monumental work - part comedy, part love story, part SAT meditation on the transformative power of art. SAT SAT In 16th-century Nuremberg, the Mastersingers are a highly SAT influential guild of singers who meet for an annual singing SAT competition - a challenge requiring a high level of SAT technical expertise, and rewarded by a coveted prize. For SAT the forthcoming competition, the goldsmith, Pogner, offers SAT an extra prize - the hand in marriage of his daughter, Eva. SAT Into the town comes a young knight, Walther, with no SAT experience in the craft of singing, but he falls instantly SAT in love with Eva. He performs a song for a chance to enter SAT the competition, but is judged to be unworthy by the SAT pedantic town clerk, Beckmesser, who is also keen to win SAT Eva's hand. Hans Sachs is the only member of the SAT establishment willing to listen to the newcomer and to give SAT him a chance in his quest.

He was born SUN in 1967, the third of four children of a half-Russian father SUN and a Dutch mother. He speaks fluent Dutch, French, German SUN and Spanish, and has a Spanish wife. SUN SUN After beginning his career as a journalist and development SUN aid and trade expert for the European Commission, he was SUN elected as an MEP in 1999, writing many essays on public SUN policy issues. He was elected MP for Sheffield Hallam in SUN 2005, and succeeded Menzies Campbell as party leader in SUN December 2007. Since this programme was first broadcast in SUN October 2008, he has become Deputy Prime Minister in the SUN newly-elected coalition government. SUN SUN He admits that being an MP and particularly party leader, is SUN such a full-time job (especially also having small SUN children), that it doesn't leave very much time for leisure SUN activities, but he loves listening to music when he can. His SUN wife plays the piano, and three of his choices are of music SUN played by pianists he greatly admires: a Schubert Impromptu SUN in E flat minor played by Alfred Brendel, a Chopin waltz SUN played by Claudio Arrau, and the slow movement of Chopin's SUN Second Piano Concerto, played by Vladimir Ashkenazy. His SUN other choices are Mozart's Laudate Dominum, K339, Schubert's SUN terrifying song Erlkonig, sung by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau SUN with Gerald Moore; and Richard Strauss's radiant Beim SUN Schlafengehen, one of the Four Last Songs, sung by Elizabeth SUN Schwarzkopf.

In terms of religion, SUN Caravaggio was born in troubled times, and losing many SUN members of his family to the plague when he was a child left SUN him psychologically scarred. Caravaggio led a rather SUN shadowy, some might say dissolute life, and spent the last SUN years of his life on the run after killing a man in Rome. SUN His paintings are considered by some to be the real SUN beginnings of Baroque art, full of light and shade, and SUN often quite macabre and gruesome in content. Andrew Graham SUN Dixon, who has just written a new book about Caravaggio, SUN puts some of the painter's most famous works into the SUN context of his fascinating life, alongside a soundtrack of SUN music from the time by Monteverdi, Gesualdo, Cavalieri and SUN Caccini. He and Catherine Bott also look in detail at three SUN of Caravaggio's "musical" paintings: "The Lute Player", "The SUN Musicians" and the troublesome "Amor vincit omnia".

SUN SUN 18:00 BBC Proms b00szfs7 (Listen) SUN 2010, Prom 03: Simon Boccanegra, Part 1 SUN SUN Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London. SUN SUN Classic Verdi themes are at the heart of his opera Simon SUN Boccanegra: the clash of love and power, and an intense SUN relationship between Boccanegra and his long-lost daughter SUN Amelia. The Spanish tenor Placido Domingo has sung over 130 SUN different operatic roles, which must be something of a SUN record. But he had never sung a baritone role until a year SUN ago, when he took on a part he had long wanted to play: SUN Simon Boccanegra, the Doge of Genoa. 'Verdi didn't have any SUN children,' says Domingo, 'and in any opera when you have the SUN parts of father and daughter, he wrote his best music'. SUN SUN This Proms semi-staging is based on the Royal Opera House SUN production by Elijah Moshinsky, with a starry cast conducted SUN by the Music Director at Covent Garden, Antonio Pappano.

SUN SUN 21:30 Sunday Feature b00szh08 (Listen) SUN In Search of Gustav Mahler SUN SUN In the year of the 150th anniversary of Gustav Mahler's SUN birth, Norman Lebrecht travels in the footsteps of the SUN composer in search of those whose lives have been touched SUN and changed by his music. SUN SUN He discovers how Mahler was able to bring them face to face SUN with themselves and gave them the means to continue. It is SUN an experience Norman himself is familiar with, "There are SUN times when I've needed Mahler more than anything else on SUN earth - times when I've been so unsure or frightened or SUN confused about the state of my world only Mahler would have SUN the answer. Mahler can do many things - he can address you, SUN he can harangue you, he can tease you, he can do many SUN things, but in that music, there is a healing balm. Mahler SUN from somewhere brings a reunion of the individual with the SUN world, a person with nature - the possibility that out of SUN chaos there can be harmony and there can be love. Mahler can SUN be the healer of us all." SUN SUN 22:30 Words and Music b00n6ytj (Listen) SUN Walkers, Wanderers and Wayfarers SUN SUN It’s such an everyday activity isn’t it? But then, I SUN suppose that’s what makes it such an universal subject. In SUN fact, there cannot be many things in life one does without SUN walking in one way or another. SUN SUN Many writers and composers have loved walking – as a release SUN from their labours, as an opportunity to think, or as a way SUN of drawing new inspiration from the well of nature. SUN Charles Ives’s song Walking takes us through the landscape SUN of a ‘big October morning’, Edward Thomas’s poem Roads SUN ponders the everlasting allure of the country road, SUN Strauss’s Alpine Symphony lustily celebrates the act of SUN climbing a mountain, and An Inscription for a Seat sees SUN Lakeland genius Samuel Taylor Coleridge offering some food SUN for thought for travellers taking a rest halfway up. SUN There is also a hill-top contemplation from that inspirer of SUN many a modern-day fell-walk, Alfred Wainwright, while in one SUN of his dispassionate but atmospheric ‘text-works’ artist SUN Richard Long describes A Walk Across Ireland. SUN SUN The 19th-century American thinker and environmentalist Henry SUN David Thoreau saw walking – or, as he more specifically SUN termed it ‘sauntering’ – as necessary to a healthy SUN personality; in his essay Walking he explains why those who SUN do not love walking in their hearts are ‘mere idlers and SUN vagabonds’. Yet only a few decades later the vagabond was SUN being seen as a Romantic figure, as The Wanderer by SUN ‘supertramp’ poet WH Davies, and Vaughan Williams’s SUN Stevenson setting The Vagabond, show. SUN SUN More metropolitan (and humorous) attitudes to walking SUN surface in Robert Graves’s The Legs and Adrian Mitchell’s SUN Watch Your Step – I’m Drenched, as well as in Percy SUN Grainger’s Handel in the Strand and Elgar’s Pomp and SUN Circumstance March No. 2. Lou Reed’s Walk on the Wild Side SUN moves us to the city’s underside. SUN SUN And walking is also for lovers. In The Lover’s Invitation, SUN John Clare (who himself once tramped from Essex to SUN Northamptonshire) conjures a summer-evening ripe for an SUN amorous promenade of the kind one can imagine taking place SUN in ‘The Walk to the Paradise Garden’ from Frederick Delius’s SUN opera, A Village Romeo and Juliet. Finally, in The Walk, SUN Thomas Hardy depicts the walk of a widower alone with his SUN memories. SUN SUN Yet at its best, walking is always a celebration of life, SUN perhaps even some kind of definition of it. Ives says at SUN the end of his song, ‘today we do not choose to die or to SUN dance, but to live and walk’. Walking, after all, is ‘what SUN we do’.

The hour-long set SUN had many highlights, among which were Alex Hutton's two SUN numbers, 'The Ballad of Beautiful' and 'Silent Man', the SUN arrangement of Bach's 'Siciliano' and Younee's own 'True to SUN You'. Hutton sat out the first half of the song before SUN returning to the keyboard to provide some inspired jazz SUN embellishments to Younee's rock harmonies. An unusual item SUN was a Korean folk song, 'Birds Birds', both pianos SUN delicately played. This set was recorded on a Saturday SUN lunchtime and attracted a substantial crowd . SUN Younee, from Seoul, Korea is 'beyond category' as a singer, SUN songwriter and pianist. Her exquisitely vulnerable voice can SUN also express raw power. SUN Alex Hutton is Yorkshire born, but has spent time in the US SUN both studying and performing. In this session, he gave some SUN impeccable answering phrases to Younee and there's a fine SUN chance to hear some of his own composition.

MON MON Inspired by Lord Byron's dramatic poem, Schumann provided MON incidental music which captures the story's ghostly, MON brooding atmosphere, whilst Tchaikovsky wrote a symphony in MON the style of tone poem, one of his most highly charged and MON theatrical orchestral works. Guilt, death, religion and MON temptation are the Byronic themes depicted by both composers MON in their works, which arguably gave the moody protagonist MON much more fame than the original poem would have done alone. MON MON The RLPO is joined by Macedonian pianist and former Radio 3 MON New Generation Artist Simon Trpceski to perform the ever MON popular piano concerto No 2 by Rachmaninov. At the helm is MON Liverpool's own adopted hero Vassily Petrenko. MON MON Schumann, orch.

MON MON Tom Paul and Nick Dear discuss why Bryon's life and work had MON such an enduring appeal. Is it the story of his reckless MON love affairs, international political activism and early MON death after defending Greek liberty - as portrayed in Nick's MON film, which starred Jonny Lee Miller as the poet himself? Or MON is it actually the power of his writing itself - from Don MON Juan, to the Prisoner of Chillon and the creation of the MON "Byronic hero". MON MON Byron's writings borught to life some of the most enduring MON romantic heroes in literature - and they have had a powerful MON attraction for other artists. The 2010 Proms features MON several adaptations of Byron's work by composers - and this MON literary event precedes a concert featuring two settings by MON Schumann and Tchaikovsky of Byron's metaphysical poem MON Manfred, about a Swiss noble who seeks forgiveness from MON spirits for his past actions. MON MON The Proms Literary Festival is now in its third year - MON tackling some of the literary and cultural dimensions of MON this year's Proms concerts, in front of an audience right MON next door to the Albert Hall at the Royal College of Music MON and just in advance of the concerts themselves. MON MON Night Waves presenter Matthew Sweet hosts this Byron debate MON recorded in front of an audience at the Royal College of MON Music.

MON MON 22:00 The Lebrecht Interview b00szhsr (Listen) MON Riccardo Chailly MON MON In the first of this year's Lebrecht Interviews, Norman MON meets the Italian conductor Riccardo Chailly. For more than MON 30 years, Chailly has been one of Europe's most important MON conductors. The son of a well-known Italian composer and MON music administrator, his career has taken him from the opera MON house in Bologna to the Radio Symphony Orchestra in Berlin, MON the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, and most recently MON the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig. Aged 57, Chailly MON specialises in the masterpieces of the symphonic repertoire MON and the summits of Italian opera. Yet some would say the MON Chailly story begs more questions than it answers. Although MON fluent in English, he's never held a major post in Britain MON or America; his moves have often been jagged and MON contentious, at odds with his calm and smiling persona. He MON talks to Norman about working with the likes of Pavarotti, MON Abbado and Karajan, his decision to leave Amsterdam (the MON first conductor ever to walk away from the Concertgebouw), MON the death of his father, and the possibility of a future MON post with a major American orchestra. MON MON 23:00 The Essay b00szhst (Listen) MON Home Rule for the Soul, Home Rule for the Soul MON MON Professor Sunil Khilnani, author of The Idea of India, sets MON out on a journey through the ideas of Gandhi's first major MON work, Hind Swaraj, which argues for freedom but against MON violence. But does modern India still find a space for such MON ideas? In the first of his essays, Gandhi Get Your Gun, MON Khilnani argues that the power of Gandhi's Hind Swaraj still MON speaks both to India's future and our own. MON MON Autumn 1909. In the middle of the ocean, on a ship bound for MON South Africa, Mohandas Gandhi is gripped by 'A violent MON possession' as he furiously writes his first major work, MON Hind Swaraj. An astonishing critique of modern civilization MON and a defense of non-violent resistance, it was banned by MON the British who viewed it as a seditious manifesto. MON MON Gandhi had greater ambitions than mere nationalist uprising. MON 'The essence of what I have said is that man should rest MON content with what are his real needs... if he does not have MON control he cannot save himself.' Written after his MON encounters with those who advocated revolutionary violence MON and terrorism in the cause of India's freedom, Hind Swaraj MON argues for force without violence or hatred as it strives to MON define what self rule, freedom, actually is. MON MON 23:15 Jazz on 3 b00szht3 (Listen) MON Kit Downes Trio MON MON Jez Nelson presents hotly tipped pianist Kit Downes's trio, MON with drummer James Maddren and Calum Gourlay on double bass, MON recorded at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival in May. Downes is a MON versatile player who, as part of a wave of twenty-something MON British musicians, has spent the past few years exploring MON new directions in jazz. Last heard on Jazz On 3 a few weeks MON ago playing organ in avant-blues-rock trio Troyka, he's also MON a member of the dark and explosive Golden Age of Steam. As a MON classic piano, bass and drums trio, Downes's own group makes MON more obvious reference to the jazz tradition than either of MON the above, but the group's sound looks forwards as well as MON back, and showcases Kit's voice as both a distinctive MON contemporary composer and an economical and thoughtful improviser.

TUE Nabucco was Verdi's artistic break-through - a tremendous TUE success, it made his name in Italy and all over Europe. TUE Aida, written towards the other end of his long career, TUE confirmed his reputation as the pre-eminent Italian composer TUE of his day. Both works are best known for their choruses - TUE Nabucco for 'Va pensiero', sung by the Hebrew slaves by the TUE waters of Babylon; and Aida for the spectacular Triumph TUE Scene from Act 2 scene 2, when the Egyptian troops return, TUE victorious, to the city of Thebes.

Verdi encountered his WED work through the glittering Milanese salon of Countess WED Clarina Maffei, whose husband Count Andrea had embarked on WED the task of translating Schiller's plays into Italian. WED Schiller became a favourite of Verdi's - second only to WED Shakespeare in his estimation - and the composer was to base WED four operas on his plays. Here, Donald Macleod considers WED three of them, written in fairly swift succession in the WED late 1840s - Giovanna d'Arco, I Masnadieri, and lastly Luisa WED Miller, which marks the transition to Verdi's mature style.

WED WED 21:15 Sunday Feature b00lxrp7 (Listen) WED Searching for Alfred in the Shadow of Tennyson WED WED To many people today Alfred, Lord Tennyson is an iconic WED image of the Victorian era. We know him as Queen Victorian's WED Poet Laureate, an imposing figure with a beard and cape and WED the author of long poems often based on myths and legends. WED But this image hides other facets of Tennyson and obscures WED the fact that many creative artists today are drawing on his WED work. WED WED In this programme the poet and writer Ruth Padel goes in WED search of the real Tennyson, championing him as a poet for WED our times as well as his own. In conversation with figures WED as diverse as the poet and former Laureate Andrew Motion, WED the novelists Andrew O' Hagan and Adam Foulds, the poet Jo WED Shapcott, the rock musician Dani Filth and academics Robert WED Douglas-Fairhurst and Angela Leighton, she hears how the WED figure of Tennyson has been an inspiration to them. WED WED Ruth also investigates the real Alfred behind the image of WED grandeur. She finds our about his preoccupation with what he WED called the "black blood" of his family, whose members were WED prone to break-downs, alcoholism and madness. And she hears WED how these concerns led to Tennyson's ability to articulate WED neurosis and loss in his work even though, as Poet Laureate, WED he became an establishment figure. WED WED This programme was first broadcast in 2009 to mark the 200th WED anniversary of Tennyson's birth.

Verdi's grand operatic version of his life, based, THU not for the first time, on a play by Schiller, turned out to THU have one of the most tortuous and protracted histories in THU all opera.

Prokofiev's First Piano THU Concerto, by contrast, is witty and exuberant. In just a THU quarter of an hour it condenses a three movement concerto THU into just a single arch. THU THU As the Nazis invaded, Britten received an anonymous THU invitation from the Japanese government to write a work THU commemorating the founding of the Mikado dynasty 2600 years THU earlier. He completed his Sinfonia da Requiem the following THU year, but the Japanese government rejected it as THU inappropriate for their celebrations and too Christian in THU its nature. The work reflects the composer's feelings about THU the inhumanity of war and, based on the liturgy of the mass THU of the dead, he dedicated it to the memory of his parents. THU THU Shostakovich was rather closer to the action than Britten, THU when Russia entered the war against Germany, in 1941. He was THU in Leningrad where, between July and October, he witnessed THU first-hand the Nazis's siege of the city while he worked on THU his Seventh Symphony. THU THU "I was in no hurry to leave the city where a true fighting THU spirit reigned. Women, children and old people acted THU courageously. I will always remember the women of Leningrad THU who selflessly struggled to put out incendiary bombs.I THU worked day and night, I could hear ack-ack guns firing and THU shells exploding as I worked, but I never stopped writing." THU THU Prokofiev's concerto exploits the percussive potential of THU the piano, and in turn expresses his take on clean THU neo-classical lines, contrasted with tumbling leaps and THU richer more romantic textures, indebted to Rachmaninov and THU Tchaikovsky.

THU THU 22:00 Sunday Feature b00kl0fn (Listen) THU Children of the Whitsun Weddings THU THU Poets Kate Clanchy and Paul Farley take the train through THU 'Larkinland' and explore their mutual admiration for THU Larkin's work, especially his masterpiece 'The Whitsun Weddings'. THU THU If - as much contemporary criticism has it - Philip Larkin THU was a misogynist and a snob, what would he have to say to a THU poet from one of the working-class estates he thought would THU destroy England, and a bourgeois woman who writes poems THU about motherhood? Poets Paul Farley and Kate Clanchy were THU born within days of each other in 1965, nine months after THU the publication of 'The Whitsun Weddings'. They grew up in THU very different Englands, and have very different poetic THU voices. In this programme, they travel across Britain THU retracing some of Larkin's key train-inspired poetic journeys. THU THU The iambic click of the rail carriage will accompany THU readings of 'The Whitsun Weddings', 'Dockery and Son', THU 'Friday Night at the Royal Station Hotel' and 'Here'. The THU journeys from Oxford to Sheffield, Hull to London, via THU 'colleges and clouds' and 'awful pies', lead Kate and Paul THU to a series of lively interchanges on class, gender, THU paternity and Englishness, to considerations of the poet's THU influence on them and on other contemporary writers. Along THU the way, they meet fellow Larkin lovers, but also real THU people - such as the Hull woman married in the 1950s who THU remembers the 'bridal express' days captured in 'The Whitsun THU Weddings' - to build up a picture of how much of Larkin's THU England has gone, and what remains. THU THU New readings of the poems are mixed with archive recordings. THU Above all, Kate Clanchy and Paul Farley interrogate why and THU how a middle class woman and a working class man, in a train THU moving around a changing England, can agree unfailingly on THU Larkin's poems - as they examine the passion, despite THU everything, they share for Larkin's work. THU THU 23:00 The Essay b00szrl3 (Listen) THU Home Rule for the Soul, Home Rule for the Soul THU THU Professor Sunil Khilnani continues his exploration of the THU power of Gandhi's ideas of freedom for self and nation in THU his first major work, Hind Swaraj. Written in a frenzy in THU the autumn of 1909 when Gandhi was returning to South THU Africa, Hind Swaraj is a ferocious critique of modern THU civilization, revolution and violence. THU THU For Gandhi the self was the well spring of all political THU possibility. 'Politics encircles us today like the coil of a THU snake from which one cannot get out, no matter how much one THU tries'. His attempts to wrestle with the snake of politics, THU to reject the process of ends and means redefined the scope THU of political action. THU THU 23:15 Late Junction b00szrl7 (Listen) THU Fiona Talkington presents a special Late Junction THU collaboration featuring James Blackshaw and Nancy Elizabeth THU and an array of guitars, pianos and voices.

FRI FRI The evening opens with the first Proms performance of FRI Parry's Symphonic Fantasia, and closes with Tchaikovsky's FRI swansong, his 'Pathetique' Symphony. Vassily Sinaisky admits FRI "even though it is my favourite piece, I try not to conduct FRI it too much, as every performance of it should be a special FRI event". FRI FRI At the centre of the BBC Philharmonic's first appearance FRI this season is Scriabin's Piano Concerto, with Argentinean FRI soloist Nelson Goerner, whose performances of the great FRI Romantic concertos are much admired. A relatively early FRI work, the influence of Chopin on Scriabin's music can be FRI clearly detected here.

FRI FRI 20:30 Twenty Minutes b00szrqw (Listen) FRI The Diaries of Sofia Tolstoy FRI FRI Sofia Tolstoy, the wife of Count Leo Tolstoy, kept a diary FRI for most of her life. It offers a fascinating chronicle of FRI her marriage to the great Russian writer, and a vivid FRI account of the trials and tribulations of her daily life. FRI The selected extract focuses on the summer of 1897 when FRI Sofia and Leo are approaching their thirty-fifth wedding FRI anniversary. Turbulence characterizes their relationship, FRI and while there are moments of passion and tenderness, FRI tensions are also apparent. Leo is a demanding and difficult FRI man, and it is Sofia who ensures her husband's needs are FRI met. She also manages the estate where they live, and her FRI responsibilities as a mother to her nine children are FRI further demands on her time. However, amid the demands of FRI daily life, she finds solace in the beautiful landscape FRI around her, swimming in the nearby river, and more FRI contentiously, her friendship with the composer, Taneev.

He believed a poet was born, not FRI made, and his gifts might either flourish or wither FRI depending on circumstance. In his case he suspected that, FRI had he grown up in a city, he might never have written a FRI word. He lived in Orkney, and the islands for him became a FRI 'place of order, a place of remembrance, a place of vision' FRI which sustained him throughout his life.
