SAT SAT Lorin Maazel SAT SAT Lorin Maazel has been conducting for seven decades. By age SAT fifteen he had made his New York debut at the 1939 World’s SAT Fair, led the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl SAT and conducted most of the major American orchestras, SAT including the NBC Symphony at the invitation of Toscanini. SAT His New York Philharmonic debut came in 1942 when he was SAT twelve years old. Now aged 81he is completing his fifth and SAT final season as the inaugural Music Director of the Palau de SAT les Arts "Reina Sofia" in Valencia, and is preparing to take SAT over at the Munich Philharmonic in 2012. This year he’s in SAT the UK to conduct a complete cycle of Mahler’s symphonies SAT with the Philharmonia, marking the 100th anniversary of the SAT composer’s death. SAT SAT Tom Service meets Maestro Maazel backstage at the Royal SAT Festival Hall – less than an hour before taking to the stage SAT - and talks about Mahler, his own work as a composer, and SAT his seemingly unstoppable energy. SAT SAT IMS Prussia Cove SAT SAT The International Musicians Seminar Prussia Cove was founded SAT in 1972 by the Hungarian violinist, Sándor Végh who, on SAT arrival in Cornwall, realised that the remote location of SAT Prussia Cove could offer sustenance and inspiration to SAT musicians. The master classes have taken place every year SAT since and IMS is now one of the most acclaimed short course SAT seminars in the world, offering musicians the opportunity to SAT participate in seminars which are unique in both their SAT approach and environment. SAT SAT Tom travels to Cornwall to see the seminars in action and SAT talks to tutors Ralph Kirshbaum and Andras Keller. Plus some SAT of this year’s participants tell us how they’re getting on. SAT SAT Intellectual Property SAT SAT In 2008 Welsh National Opera launched a research project SAT looking in to the complexity of copyright law and its impact SAT on classical music in light of the increasing development of SAT digital rights and an ever changing creative landscape. With SAT a government commissioned independent review into how SAT intellectual property law can better drive growth and SAT innovation due to be published early next month, what does SAT all this mean for music? SAT SAT Tom discusses the issues around creativity, pilfery, SAT artistic ownership and litigation with Andrew Gummer of SAT music publisher Boosey & Hawkes, barrister and Intellectual SAT Property specialist Simon Tracy, and composer Debbie SAT Wiseman. Plus we hear the latest from WNO’s collaborative SAT Electroclassic project which grew out of their initial SAT research. SAT SAT Respighi SAT SAT This week sees the 75th anniversary of the death of Italian SAT composer Ottorino Respighi. Having studied in his native SAT Bologna he went on to become an orchestral viola player in SAT Russia where he had some influential composition lessons SAT from Rimsky-Korsakov. In 1913 he settled in Rome having been SAT appointed professor of composition at the Liceo Musicale di SAT S Cecilia, where he wrote his Roman Trilogy – his most SAT performed work today. SAT SAT Tom talks to BBC Rome Correspondent David Willey about SAT Respighi’s reputation in Italy and the extent to which his SAT links with the fascist regime have tarnished his reputation, SAT and we hear from conductors Gianandrea Noseda and Fabio SAT Luisi about what his music means to them.

In today's Lunchtime Concert, from SAT Wigmore Hall, they perform two works which exist in SAT different versions - the violin version of Beethoven's B SAT flat major Clarinet Trio, and the revised version of SAT Brahms's B major Piano Trio.

With music by Berber singer SAT Braim Assli and an improvised collaborative concert by New SAT Orleans jazzband Congo Nation and local musicians Agadir SAT Gnawa. SAT SAT Essaouira is an old stone town that is home to an even older SAT style of music which arrived in Morocco centuries ago with SAT the slaves who came from across the Sahara. It's a sacred SAT music which is traditionally heard at all-night 'lilas', SAT where animal sacrifices are made, people are healed from SAT spiritual and physical ailments, and, it is said, a good SAT time is had by all. The sound of the music is characterised SAT by the bass thump of the three-stringed 'gimbri' and the SAT strident clatter of metal castanets. The Gnawa and World SAT Music Festival was established twelve years ago to celebrate SAT the gnawa tradition, with concerts featuring gnawa masters SAT from all over Morocco, together with events where gnawa SAT musicians collaborate with artists from across the globe.

SAT SAT Here we go: jealousy, humiliation, murder and suicide. It SAT sounds as if it could be any night at the opera. But Alban SAT Berg's Wozzeck is one of the 20th century's greatest SAT dramatic works, the story of a man at the bottom of the heap SAT who goes to pieces under unrelenting pressure. SAT SAT It's an opera of extraordinary power which combines SAT traditional musical forms with a plot of crushing despair, SAT leaving no hint of hope or redemption. SAT SAT Berg's masterpiece calls for great singer-actors on stage SAT and a virtuoso orchestra and conductor in the pit. Things SAT are set fair with baritone Alan Held in the title role, SAT mezzo Waltraud Meier as his common law wife, and an equally SAT impressive supporting cast including Australian SAT tenor-of-the-moment Stuart Skelton. James Levine conducts: SAT over the past four decades, he has been the driving force SAT behind the Met Orchestra's rise to the premiere league of US SAT ensembles. SAT SAT Wozzeck .....

In this programme, Gwyneth Herbert, herself a fine SUN interpreter of Lee's songs, explores the singer's earlier SUN work, with Benny Goodman, as a broadcasting artist and as a SUN pure jazz singer. As well as Peggy Lee standards such as Why SUN Don't You Do Right and Fever, there are many examples of her SUN jazz excellence in lesser known songs.

MON MON 12:00 Composer of the Week b010722x (Listen) MON Composer of the Week: Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847), Episode MON 1 MON MON Donald Macleod explores Felix Mendelssohn's last seven MON years, starting with his appointment in 1841 to the post of MON Royal Prussian Kapellmeister in his home town of Berlin. For MON the previous six years Mendelssohn had been based in MON Leipzig, as director of the Gewandhaus Concerts. He had been MON spectacularly successful, turning the orchestra there into MON one of the finest in Europe - and thereby making himself an MON attractive prospect for neighbouring rulers to poach. The MON new king of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm IV, wanted to make MON Berlin a cultural centre to be reckoned with, and had MON decided that Mendelssohn was the man for the job. After six MON months of strenuous but largely unsuccessful attempts to MON hammer out the responsibilities of his post, Mendelssohn was MON offered a lucrative one-year contract on a pretty much MON take-it-or-leave-it basis; he took it, but the job remained MON ill-defined and he grew increasingly frustrated - not least MON with the lack of any progress whatsoever on the proposed new MON Berlin Conservatory, the creation of which had been a major MON carrot during the negotiations. Mendelssohn's incidental MON music to Sophocles' Antigone is one of the few fruits of MON this first Berlin post; but at least he had plenty of time MON to get to grips with the composition of his 'Scottish' MON Symphony, the seeds of which had been sown during his visit MON to the ruins of Queen Mary's palace of Holyrood in 1829. On MON hearing the symphony, one contemporary critic astutely MON commented, "we may prophesy that it will rouse pure feeling MON of pleasure everywhere". MON MON Producer: Chris Barstow.

Christmas 1842 must have been a bleak one TUE in the Mendelssohn household; on 12 December the composer's TUE mother, Lea, had died. Wealthy, cultured, intelligent and TUE larger than life, Lea Mendelssohn had presided over a salon TUE frequented by some of the greatest minds of the day. TUE Mendelssohn's father, Abraham, had died some years earlier, TUE so as the composer now wrote to his brother Paul: "We are TUE children no longer." Understandably, fresh composition was TUE difficult, and he started the new year by revising an old TUE work - Die Erste Walpurgisnacht. Then there was a series of TUE concerts to conduct in Berlin, along with the TUE none-too-onerous 'duties' of his new, resounding-sounding TUE appointment as Generalmusikdirector für kirchliche und TUE geistliche Musik - although this did result in the TUE incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream. When he had TUE negotiated his new contract with the Prussian king, TUE Friedrich Wilhelm IV, it had been agreed that Mendelssohn TUE could spend part of 1843 in his old stamping-ground, TUE Leipzig. On his arrival there he was promptly offered the TUE job of Director of Music to the Saxon court - he declined, TUE but managed to persuade King Frederick Augustus III to TUE establish a new music conservatory in the city. He also TUE conducted a series of eight subscription concerts, was TUE granted the Freedom of the city of Leipzig, and unveiled a TUE monument to his musical hero, J S Bach. Back in Berlin, he TUE was driven up the wall by the Prussian government's TUE shilly-shallying over the conditions attached to his new TUE post in charge of church music. He worked off some of his TUE frustration in paint - not just a prodigious composer, he TUE was a talented artist as well - and in the composition of TUE his exuberant 2nd Cello Sonata.

The inspiration came from the poetry of TUE Baudelaire, especially a line that gave it its title: 'A TUE whole distant world... dwells in your depths, oh scented TUE forest'. Also inspired by literature was Ravel's wonderful TUE ballet score for Mother Goose, while Spain, often such a TUE great source of inspiration for French composers, forms the TUE exotic backdrop to both Debussy's Iberia and Ravel's TUE ever-popular showpiece, Bolero.

WED WED 12:00 Composer of the Week b0107499 (Listen) WED Composer of the Week: Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847), Episode WED 3 WED WED Donald Macleod continues his exploration of Mendelssohn's WED last seven years with a look at the year 1844. Towards the WED end of the previous year the composer had finally, after WED months of wrangling, taken up his new appointment as WED Director of Sacred Music in Berlin. In the event, he found WED it impossible to work with the court chaplain, Friedrich WED Adolf Strauss, and ended up providing music for just four WED services - Christmas, New Year's Day, Passion Sunday and WED Good Friday. It doubtless came as a great relief to him to WED return, in the spring, to a city he had first visited in WED 1829 - London, or "that smoky nest", as he fondly called it. WED He had agreed to help out the Philharmonic Society, whose WED finances were in a bad way, by conducting a few concerts for WED them. The headache induced by a seven-hour rehearsal meant WED that he had to turn down an invitation to visit Charles WED Babbage of Difference Engine fame, but Mendelssohn did get WED to meet Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray, who WED pronounced his face: "the most beautiful ...I ever saw, like WED what I imagine our Saviour's to have been..." His stay was WED crowned by an audience with Queen Victoria and Prince WED Albert. It was also during this visit that he composed one WED of his best-known works - Hear My Prayer, whose second WED section opens with the line that has given the piece its WED popular name: 'O for the wings of a dove'. Another of WED Mendelssohn's most popular creations dates from autumn of WED the same year - the Violin Concerto, written for his old WED friend Ferdinand David. David played the première on his WED 1742 Guarneri del Gesu violin, which later passed to Jascha WED Heifetz, who plays it on the recording you'll hear in the WED programme.

Serenely beautiful and WED deeply moving, it makes a profound impact on listeners and WED performers alike. WED WED The BBC Singers perform the Requiem in a new version for WED choir and small instrumental ensemble arranged by David WED Hill, and it is preceded by a rarely-heard large-scale WED setting of Psalm 130, De profundis, by the great French WED organ virtuoso Marcel Dupre, who thought of himself as an WED organist first and composer second.

As well as its regular cavalcade of cyborgs, WED spies and megalomaniacs, The Avengers seemed to present the WED world of British television with a new action figure - the WED liberated single female who, week after week, proved to be WED deadlier than the male. But how progressive was its sexual WED politics ? Was Diana Rigg in her all leather cat suit a male WED fantasy or a feminist icon and did Honor Blackman always WED play second fiddle to Patrick Macnee ? WED WED Matthew has assembled a crack team of thinkers to ponder WED these mind-bending questions - teenage fans Bea Campbell and WED Sarah Dunant, historian Dominic Sandbrook and one of the WED masterminds of The Avengers, the screenwriter Brian Clemens. WED WED Producer: Stephen Hughes.

Miss Garnet's WED Angel, the story of an atheistic, uptight woman who WED flourishes during a winter spent among the churches and art WED of Venice, became an instant bestseller. Her succeeding WED novels, including Mr Golightly's holiday and The Other Side WED Of you, also have a spiritual dimension, featuring angels, WED Old Testament prophets - and God. Even so religion's WED arch-critic Philip Pullman describes her as "a presence to WED be cherished." Listen to "Belief" and you 'll understand WED why.

THU THU 12:00 Composer of the Week b01074f9 (Listen) THU Composer of the Week: Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847), Episode THU 4 THU THU Donald Macleod continues his exploration of Mendelssohn's THU last seven years. In October 1844, the composer took the THU bull by the horns in an audience with his royal employer THU Friedrich Wilhelm IV, the King of Prussia, and asked to be THU released from his service to the crown - a grand-sounding, THU but in practice rather vague position, which had been a THU source of immense frustration and disappointment to the THU composer. His request was granted - more or less. THU Mendelssohn would no longer be required to live in Berlin, THU and there'd be no fixed duties to perform; just the THU occasional royal commission. One such commission was to THU supply incidental music for a performance of Racine's play THU Athalie (as Donald suggests, the full-blooded choruses give THU tantalizing glimpses of the opera Mendelssohn might have THU composed, had he lived long enough). Early in 1845 came a THU request out of the blue from the other side of the world - THU the newly-created New York Philharmonic Society was inviting THU him to go to the United States to conduct a "Grand Musical THU Festival", with an orchestra of 250 and chorus of 500 at his THU disposal. Mendelssohn declined - he didn't feel his health THU would be up to such a long and arduous trip, and he told his THU brother Paul that undertaking such a venture would be "no THU more possible than a trip to the moon". Instead, he composed THU a set of six small but perfectly formed organ sonatas for THU the British publisher Charles Coventry, and worked on his THU highly virtuosic 2nd Piano Trio, written in Frankfurt during THU a freak flood of the River Main; perhaps that's reflected in THU the stormy opening of the trio's first movement!

Verdi had to be persuaded to compose the work for THU Cairo's opera house once it had opened, and he created a THU world which combines exotic sounds and deeply felt THU expression.

FRI FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week b01074j0 (Listen) FRI Composer of the Week: Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847), Episode FRI 5 FRI FRI Donald Macleod concludes his exploration of Mendelssohn's FRI last seven years with a look at the genesis of his oratorio FRI Elijah, whose popularity in Victorian England was second FRI only to that of Handel's Messiah - certainly not a claim FRI that could be made today, when it tends to be regarded as FRI the height of kitsch. In 1846, the city of Birmingham FRI invited Mendelssohn to take charge of its music festival. He FRI turned the job down, but agreed instead to compose an FRI oratorio for the festival. After the earlier success of his FRI oratorio St Paul, Mendelssohn had considered composing an FRI Elijah; the Birmingham commission prompted him to return to FRI this idea, which he'd had on the back burner for the past 10 FRI years. The first performance was a huge success - "Never was FRI there a more complete triumph!", as The Times put it - but FRI Mendelssohn wasn't completely satisfied, and immediately set FRI about overhauling the work for the London première the FRI following year. According to a contemporary report it was FRI met with a "long-continued unanimous volley of plaudits, FRI vociferous and deafening applause." Mendelssohn's elation, FRI however, was short-lived. On his return to Germany he was FRI met by a letter from his brother Paul, telling him that FRI their beloved sister Fanny had suffered a series of strokes FRI and died - while rehearsing one of his pieces. Mendelssohn FRI remained in a state of emotional collapse for some time, but FRI when he was able to compose again he poured his grief out in FRI his anguished 6th String Quartet - the last major work he FRI completed before his own death, just two months later.

Martin was inspired to create his own Passion after FRI seeing Rembrandt's etching, 'The Three Crosses'. Using texts FRI from the Gospels and the writings of St Augustine, he FRI creates a world in darkness and doubt in which the five FRI soloists share the narrative and character roles. Martin FRI builds on the legacy of Bach's Passions by drawing on the FRI finest 20th century heritage of Debussy, Poulenc and FRI Stravinsky.

Born into a FRI bricklaying family, Stanley Hauerwas says the skills he FRI learned there are the same skills which he now applies to FRI his academic work - and which has led Time Magazine to call FRI him "America's best Theologian." A pacifist and a FRI provacateur he criticises an American identity he says is FRI built on waging war, and a church often more concerned to FRI make good Americans than good Christians. FRI FRI 23:30 World on 3 b01074jg (Listen) FRI Mary Ann Kennedy with tracks from across the globe, plus a FRI studio session with American star of country music Emmylou FRI Harris, performing songs from her new solo album 'Hard FRI Bargain'. FRI FRI In recent years Emmylou's music has moved on from the FRI country music mainstream to a style closer to alternative FRI music. Her new album includes a song that harks back to the FRI darkest days of 1950s American racism, another that reflects FRI on her relationship with the late Gram Parsons, and one that FRI is a tribute to fellow singer Kate McGarrigle. She talks FRI about them, and gives an exclusive acoustic solo FRI performance. FRI
