SAT SAT Suzy Klein talks to soprano Renee Fleming who is currently SAT performing the title role in Handel’s Rodelinda at the Met SAT and can be heard singing Strauss’ Four Last Songs with the SAT LPO in Radio 3 Live In Concert from the Royal Festival Hall SAT this Wednesday. She is famed for her limpid voice, beautiful SAT diction and stagecraft. But more than that, she has crossed SAT over from the operatic stage, forging a wider kind of SAT stardom as America’s favourite soprano - even appearing on SAT the David Letterman show! She sang at President Obama’s SAT inauguration and was the voice of America's commemoration of SAT 9/11 at Ground Zero. In our exclusive interview Fleming SAT talks about her determination and single-mindedness, and how SAT singing for her is a ‘personal form of validation’. She SAT speaks frankly about coping with the pressure of performance SAT and how she wishes she were ‘more of a diva’. SAT SAT The 21st Century Oboe SAT SAT Finding that the traditional oboe struggles to scale the SAT Herculean heights required by contemporary composers, oboist SAT Christopher Redgate has set out to design a new instrument. SAT His 21st century oboe is historically rooted and clearly SAT related to its traditional cousin, but it allows for a whole SAT new palette of technical and tonal possibilities. He gives SAT Suzy a guided tour of the new Redgate-Howarth oboe along SAT with Janey Miller (an oboist committed to developing the SAT instrument’s repertoire) and composer Paul Archbold, who SAT tells how this new instrument expands his musical horizons. SAT SAT Stravinsky Ballets by Charles M. Joseph SAT SAT One man who never shied away from the glistening, SAT knife-sharp edge of ‘the new’ was Igor Stravinsky. His SAT eleven ballets are one of the major musical achievements of SAT the last century, a single imposing body of work that SAT brought into its orbit some of the key cultural figures of SAT the last hundred years, including Nijinsky and Diaghilev, SAT Picasso, Cocteau and Balanchine. The American academic SAT Charles M. Joseph has chosen to focus his third Stravinsky SAT book on those ballets. Leading choreographer and Director of SAT Birmingham Royal Ballet David Bintley and Stravinsky scholar SAT Stephen Walsh join Suzy to give their verdict. SAT SAT The Pump Room Orchestra, Bath SAT SAT The Pump Room Orchestra Bath are celebrating 300 years of SAT providing live music, along with the promise of SAT health-restoring waters. If tea and scones are more your SAT thing than that famed reviving, sulphurous drink fear not: SAT there’s a lot of clinking teacups as well as music at the SAT Pump Rooms daily performances, as you’ll hear when Suzy SAT heads down to talk to the authors of a new book. SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b010623d (Listen) SAT Le voir dit: Machaut et Peronne SAT SAT Guillaume de Machaut was one of the greatest composers and SAT poets of the Middle Ages and Le Voir Dit is one of his most SAT extraordinary works. Containing 9,094 lines of verse and 8 SAT musical settings, it tells the tale of a blossoming love SAT between the elderly Machaut and a young admirer: Péronne d' SAT Armentières.

It tells the famous SAT story of Dr Faust and how he sells his soul to the devil, SAT Mephistopheles, in order to regain his youth. It's the opera SAT that features in the plot of 'Phantom of the Opera' and it's SAT music includes some very famous numbers, including the SAT 'Jewel Song' and the Soldiers Chorus. Initially something of SAT a failure, Gounod's Faust has been providing a great night SAT out at the opera (and a great challenge to star singers) SAT ever since its first revival in 1863 and will no doubt do so SAT for many years to come.

SAT SAT 22:10 Between the Ears b01858js (Listen) SAT Ghost Lines SAT SAT Having undergone the gruelling process of IVF and failed to SAT sustain a pregnancy, poet Julia Copus recounts her SAT experiences in a moving and wittily honest personal SAT testimony and through a series of short poems exquisitely SAT read by actress Hattie Morahan. The poems and prose were SAT especially written for this Radio 3 programme. The mood of SAT the pieces is lyrical and poignant, celebrating the SAT mysteries of conception while not flinching from the SAT mechanistic and occasionally surreal business of medical SAT intervention. The words are accompanied by the specially SAT created music of Jacob Shirley, composed for electric cello. SAT SAT Julia Copus won the Poetry Society award for best poem in SAT 2010. Her first two collections were published by Bloodaxe SAT and she has just been adopted by Faber and Faber, who are to SAT publish her next collection. SAT SAT Jacob Shirley studied composition at Trinity College of SAT Music and is a full time composer and musician. SAT SAT Produced by John Taylor SAT A Fiction Factory production for BBC Radio 3.

Before Downton, Dan played SUN the lead role of Nick Guest in the BBC's adaptation of Alan SUN Hollinghurst's Booker Prize-winning novel 'The Line of SUN Beauty', and appeared as Edward Ferrars in Andrew Davies' SUN BBC adaptation of 'Sense and Sensibility'. He has also SUN appeared in other TV dramas, including 'Turn of the Screw', SUN 'Dracula' and 'Maxwell'.

SUN SUN Dan Stevens is a fan of early music, and his choices include SUN Byrd's Mass for 4 voices, sung by the Oxford Camerata and SUN Allegri's Miserere. He has chosen extracts from two famous SUN requiem masses, by Mozart and Faure, that he sang in the SUN choir at Tonbridge School, while the slow movement of Bach's SUN Double Violin Concerto, played by Daniel Hope, was a piece SUN played at his wedding. Film music has had a particular SUN influence on him, and he has chosen the Sanctus of the Missa SUN Luba, from the soundtrack of 'If', and Philip Glass's SUN Koyaanisqatsi, which he first heard while studying at SUN Cambridge University. A piece by his university composer SUN friend John Boden and Chet Baker's jazz classic 'I'm Old SUN Fashioned' complete his list.

SUN SUN After the rousing chorus “in the tavern” from Orff’s Carmina SUN Burana (sung in medieval Latin), the Roman writer Pliny the SUN Elder gives a quasi-scientific judgement on wine’s effects, SUN observing that Alexander the Great should have exercised SUN more moderation, and done less slaying. SUN SUN The imperious March of the Lions by Saint-Saens introduces SUN Ernest Hemingway’s description of breakfast on safari, when SUN he likes to drink an early beer - unless he is hunting lion. SUN SUN Dickens and Lowry describe in loving and poetic detail, the SUN interior of two drinking establishments – a cosy Thames-side SUN inn where the beer-pulls make low bows to the customers, and SUN a sepulchral Mexican cantina with an intriguing array of SUN barrels; both establishments ruled by powerful women who are SUN in no mood to indulge their male customers. (Dickens’ SUN villainous Riderhood can have but one pint, while Lowry’s SUN unfortunate Consul is left calling plaintively for service.) SUN SUN Meanwhile, Thomas Arne’s Bacchus raises a glass of wine in SUN song to his beloved, Ariadne, and moving into a more SUN reflective mood, Chinese poet Li Tai Po drinks to the SUN moonlight; the scene is further painted by Debussy’s piano SUN piece “Pagodes”. SUN SUN Shakespeare’s Falstaff is unequivocal in his praise for SUN “good sherris sack”, as an inspiration and tonic in both SUN love and war; William Walton’s glittering score for Henry V SUN matches the martial vigour of the old soldier. A less SUN edifying effect is felt by Huntingdon’s drinking friend in SUN Anne Brontë’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. SUN SUN Colette’s heroine Claudine becomes light-headed on sparkling SUN Asti in a Parisian cafe, and thinks the room is in “Japanese SUN perspective” - but then she realises that it is her lover SUN who has really intoxicated her. SUN SUN Ravel’s heady orchestral fantasy La Valse whirls us away to SUN another city and another time – Berlin, the 1930s, New SUN Year’s Eve, and Christopher Isherwood’s narrator is also SUN experiencing some fizz-fuelled euphoria as he watches the SUN dancing merrymakers. SUN SUN Moving further into the night, Sinatra’s classic recording SUN of One For My Baby is a poetic tale of a lovelorn man, the SUN last drinker at the bar confiding in the bar-tender (“set SUN ’em up, Joe – I got a little story I think you should SUN know…”) – which leads us to Martin Amis’s John Self, who SUN discovers the embarrassment of over-indulgence at a dinner SUN party in New York, when he arrives at his friend’s apartment SUN to find dinner over – and he has forgotten what went on SUN there earlier... SUN SUN Another American bar-fly, Tom Waits is in a mood to blame SUN anyone and anything but himself for his inebriation, in his SUN song The Piano Has Been Drinking – but Peter Warlock’s SUN Captain Stratton’s Fancy is a carefree, rollicking sailor’s SUN drinking song. SUN SUN This ushers in two fishing community scenes: a crew of SUN whalers just arrived on shore-leave from a freezing ocean SUN voyage caper wildly at the Spouter Inn, in Moby Dick; while SUN Proulx’s farewell party in a Newfoundland port takes a SUN violent turn. SUN SUN And finally, as Milhaud’s sinuous score La Creation du Monde SUN evokes a primeval atmosphere, D. H. Lawrence meditates on SUN humanity’s ancient and mysterious relationship with the SUN “tendrilled avenues of wine and the otherworld”. SUN SUN Philip Tagney (producer) SUN SUN 19:45 Sunday Feature b01806nv (Listen) SUN In Search of Celia Sanchez SUN SUN Celia Sanchez was at the heart of Cuba's revolutionary SUN government for over two decades. SUN SUN When she died of lung cancer in 1980, her death plunged her SUN comrade, Fidel Castro, into a bout of depressive grief. SUN Since 1957, the two had been virtually inseparable. Celia SUN prepared the ground for the rebel movement in the Sierra SUN Maestra of Cuba against the dictatorship of Fulgencio SUN Batista. She was Castro's principle ally in organising the SUN rebel rear-guard, and once the revolution triumphed, became SUN his secretary, and most trusted aide. SUN SUN Outside Cuba, little has been written about Celia Sanchez - SUN there are numerous accounts of the revolutionary thought and SUN policies of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, but virtually SUN nothing about her. Inside Cuba, she is idolised as the ideal SUN revolutionary woman. SUN SUN One of the obstacles to knowing more about her role in the SUN revolution is that Fidel Castro has never talked about her SUN at length - nor has he ever addressed the continued rumours SUN that the two of them were lovers. SUN SUN In this Sunday Feature, Linda Pressly explores the life and SUN legacy of Celia Sanchez - from small-town beginnings as a SUN doctor's daughter in Oriente, to her pivotal position in SUN Havana. It delves into her associations, professional and SUN personal... What were the mechanics of her everyday SUN relationship with Cuba's maximo leader, Fidel Castro? How SUN profound was her political influence? And what was her SUN contribution to the distinctive revolutionary culture that SUN emerged in Cuba? SUN SUN In Search of Celia Sanchez uncovers a fascinating, untold SUN story of revolutionary Cuba, and the part played by a small, SUN steely, determined woman. SUN SUN 20:30 Drama on 3 b01806nx (Listen) SUN Skyvers SUN SUN by Barry Reckord SUN SUN 1960s London. A group of lads spends the last few days at SUN their sink London comprehensive.

Abdul Salis SUN Adams ..... Rikki Lawton SUN Jordan ..... Theo Barklem-Biggs SUN Helen ..... Joan Iyiola SUN Sylvia ..... Shannon Tarbet SUN Freeman ..... Carl Prekopp SUN Webster ..... Gerard McDermott SUN Headmaster ..... Paul Moriarty SUN SUN Directed by Mary Peate SUN SUN First produced at The Royal Court Theatre in 1963. Director SUN Pam Brighton, to whom the play belongs, according to SUN Reckord, says ' When I first came across Skyvers in 1970, it SUN struck me as a powerful, relevant and hugely articulate SUN work...How had Barry, a Jamaican teacher in a London SUN comprehensive, described so accurately the alienation and SUN rage of South London boys? The entrapment of both boys and SUN girls bounded by sex, violence and either dull dead-end jobs SUN or crime was described so perfectly by Barry.' SUN SUN Playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah has curated new radio SUN productions of three 20th Century plays for Radio 3's Drama SUN on 3 and Skyvers is the last in the series. The three plays SUN are introduced by Kwei-Armah, who describes how each of the SUN writers influenced his own development as an actor and SUN playwright. Kwame is currently based in Baltimore where he SUN is Artistic Director of Center Stage Theater. SUN SUN Michael Billington on Skyvers in The Guardian: SUN SUN ' Other dramatists such as Nigel Williams in Class Enemy SUN went on to explore the failure of the system to cope with SUN those at the bottom of the heap. But Reckord got there first SUN and while it is tempting to say times have changed, new SUN figures show that up to 16million adults today have the SUN reading and writing skils of primary schoolchildren... a SUN piece that proves that the best drama offers vital social SUN evidence.'. SUN SUN 22:00 World Routes b01806p1 (Listen) SUN World Routes in Canada, A visit to the Chants de Vielles SUN Festival in Quebec SUN SUN Mary Ann Kennedy explores the rich folk traditions of Quebec SUN at the annual Chants de Vielles Festival in the tiny village SUN of Calixa La Vallée. Its main stage, set up in a barn, hosts SUN a performance by star a cappella group Les Charbonniers SUN d'Enfer; Les Chauffeurs a Pied play for a barn dance; and SUN trio Serre l'Ecoute lead the audience in some rousing SUN anti-English songs from the eighteenth century. SUN SUN This is the first of two programmes from Quebec and Cape SUN Breton, the first time World Routes has visited Canada. The SUN Chants de Vielles Festival takes place in the local village SUN showground, and one of the tasks of festvial volunteers is SUN to clear the main barn of 'dirt' to prepare for the SUN concerts.

MON MON David Drewry's Essay "Unveiling Antarctica" describes the MON extraordinary human feats undertaken to measure the depth of MON the Antarctic ice cap and what lies beneath it. MON MON Working with the Americans under the newly ratified MON Antarctic Treaty, David pioneered the use of airborne radar MON to measure the fluctuating thickness of the ice sheets that MON cover the continent. MON MON "What we did was to fly a radar transmitter in an aircraft, MON bouncing radio waves downwards through the ice. By measuring MON the time taken for their return we could calculate how thick MON the ice was. Because we sent thousands of radio pulses a MON second, we were able to build up a continuous profile of the MON ice sheet. And by flying regular tracks across the continent MON we began to construct a map of the land lying beneath the MON ice - unveiling the real geography of Antarctica". MON MON The deeper the ice, however, the lower they had to fly to MON measure it. One sortie, accompanied by the infamously MON steely-nerved flight engineer -Bones- is graphically retold. MON They flew at 250 knots whilst the ice flashed by just 25 MON feet below. MON MON David's work helped to reveal completely unexpected lakes of MON water deep under the ice. Even today it's not known what MON primeval creatures may lurk there. MON MON Professor David Drewry is a glaciologist, the former MON director of The Scott Polar Research Institute and British MON Antarctic Survey and a member of the Intergovernmental Panel MON on Climate Change. He has a mountain and a glacier named MON after him. MON MON Producer Chris Eldon Lee MON MON A Culture Wise production for BBC Radio 3.

Pascoal first gained MON international recognition through his performance on Miles MON Davis's Live-Evil recording in the early 1970s, with Davis MON later calling him 'the most impressive musician in the MON world'. He has since worked with compatriots Airto Moreira MON and Flora Purim, and extensively as a bandleader. His MON eccentrically groovy music draws on Brazilian folk music, MON jazz and rock, with Pascoal playing a bewildering array of MON instruments including saxophone, accordion, found objects MON and, in the past, live animals.

In tonight's programme Nielsen is TUE accompanied by Beethoven and Haydn. In the first of his TUE London symphonies, Haydn surprises us with some cheeky TUE bassoon scoring as well as a quotation on the oboe from TUE Mozart's Don Giovanni. TUE TUE Nielsen's Third symphony is one of his most-performed works. TUE The 'Espansiva' of the title refers to the first movement TUE and to Nielsen's belief that music is made of internal TUE forces that transcend their outer boundaries. As well as TUE lofty ideals, the symphony includes references to the sights TUE and sounds of his childhood and a rousing folk-inflected TUE conclusion. TUE TUE The powerful, heroic themes of Beethoven's last piano TUE concerto led Beethoven's friend and fellow composer Johann TUE Baptist Cramer to give it the name 'Emperor'.

Not only does TUE this fly in the face of the composer's own sympathies, but TUE it's also disguised the genius of Beethoven's writing. TUE Stephen Johnson shifts the focus back to the music, and TUE uncovers the radical innovations under the surface of TUE Beethoven's craft.

TUE TUE In "Adelies and Obsession" writer and historian Meredith TUE Hooper talks about penguins, past and present. To the men on TUE Scott's expedition, small Adelie penguins were amusing, TUE neatly packaged fresh food. TUE TUE "A penguin yielded two delicious breast steaks. Fricasseed TUE or in a stew, their flesh was considered as good as beef. TUE Fresh penguin meat was thought to help ward off scurvy. And, TUE if necessary, penguin blubber could be used for cooking". TUE TUE One hundred years later, Meredith was given privileged TUE access to the private lives of these complex little birds TUE which provide crucial evidence of climate change. TUE TUE "Records were showing a temperature rise five times the TUE global average. A rise of almost 3 degrees centigrade during TUE the previous 50 years. 30 years of seabird data now seem to TUE link the lives and fates of the local Adelies with climate TUE change" TUE TUE The penguins' plight causes Meredith to re-examine her own TUE relationship with their habitat and Antarctica's place TUE within her soul. TUE TUE Meredith Hooper has been on four Antarctic adventures, TUE resulting in four books about the continent. She is a TUE visiting scholar at the Scott Polar Research Institute, TUE Trustee of the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust and holds the TUE Antarctic Service Medal. She's a key contributor to the TUE Natural History Museum exhibition about polar conquest and TUE recently became famous as the mother who persuaded her son TUE Tom to make the film "The King's Speech".

WED Thanks to the occupation of Vienna by Napoleon's troops in WED 1809, the citizens suffered great hardships including rising WED prices, crippling taxes and food shortages. Beethoven had WED just negotiated a comfortable financial package from three WED of his patrons when soaring inflation caused its value to WED drop dramatically and he struggled to make ends meet. Donald WED Macleod looks at works written during these straitened WED circumstances, including the incidental music to Goethe's WED play Egmont in which Beethoven gives his heartfelt response WED to the invasion. Also, the Piano Fantasia, one of a group of WED solo piano works written that same year, which gives some WED indication of the remarkable skill Beethoven was renowned WED for as an improviser. And the piano trio named after his WED patron and faithful friend, Archduke Rudolph Rudolph, begun WED in 1810, and from the late summer of that year, a new string WED quartet, full of extreme anguish and compressed intensity, WED aptly named 'Serioso'.

WED WED 22:45 The Essay b0180f7c (Listen) WED The Antarcticans, The Last Huskies WED WED To mark the centenary of Roald Amundsen's arrival at the WED South Pole (to be followed a month later by Captain Scott), WED this series of the Essay is presented by professionals who WED have lived and worked in Antarctica. WED WED In the mid-1990s John Sweeny was a Field Assistant at WED Rothera Base on the Antarctic peninsula when fate decreed he WED should drive "The Last Huskies" ever to romp across the WED continent. The recently-signed Antarctic Treaty dictated WED that all "non-indigenous species" had to be removed. WED WED "In the past, drivers had been ordered to shoot redundant WED huskies. I'd done this myself. A bullet to the back of the WED head for the dog - and a lifelong sense of guilt for me at WED such a heartless betrayal of trust. But now the eyes of the WED world were upon us and a more sensitive scenario had to be WED found." WED WED Realising it would be decidedly un-British to put the dogs WED down, a plot was hatched for John to take his team to a new WED life with an Inuit community on the shores of Canada's WED Hudson Bay.

THU THU A scientist who still regularly spends time on the icy THU continent, Jane Francis has found direct correlations THU between the geology studied by Captain Scott 100 years ago THU and her own work today. THU THU Jane describes her normal geological field day in THU Antarctica: THU THU "I am preoccupied with three things: the rocks and the THU geology that I am there to study; the risk of snow storms; THU and what we are going to have for dinner!" THU THU Food is an obsession for ever-hungry field geologists, so THU planning innovative ways of serving up exciting meals from THU the rather dull contents of a field ration box is a constant THU challenge. Special occasions such as birthdays and Christmas THU demand extra inventiveness. Long hours trapped inside a tent THU during a blizzard are perfect times for experimentation. THU THU "Nothing is ever a failure because it all gets eaten anyway, THU but one particular recipe sticks in mind - the ice cream THU that would not freeze." THU THU Jane Francis is Professor of Paleoclimatology at Leeds THU University.

FRI Thanks to his unfulfilled passion for this mystery woman, FRI described only as the 'Immortal beloved' in his letter to FRI her, Beethoven was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. FRI Perhaps because of his disturbed state of mind, he tried to FRI prevent his brother Johann from marrying a woman he regarded FRI as completely unsuitable, just as he had with his other FRI brother Caspar Carl six years earlier. But on a happier FRI note, Beethoven did get to meet his hero Goethe that year, FRI whose words have inspired many of his loveliest songs, FRI including two for chorus and orchestra - 'Calm Sea and FRI Prosperous Voyage.' Time and time again, Beethoven rose FRI above personal crises, often writing some of his best music FRI at such times. His eighth symphony was no exception. FRI Described, along with his seventh, by the eminent critic FRI Ernest Newman as giving voice to "a mood of joyous FRI acceptance of life and the world".

The FRI second half continues the BBC Symphony Orchestra's Sibelius FRI Cycle with the 'cold clear water' of the Sixth Symphony and FRI the stark loneliness of the Seventh. FRI FRI Bartok's Dance Suite was written in 1923 to a commission to FRI mark the 50th anniversary of the merging of the two cities FRI of Buda and Pest into Hungary's capital. It was amongst the FRI first of Bartok's popular successes, drawing on folk-music FRI styles as diverse as Hungarian, Romanian and even Arabic. FRI Kurtag's award-winning double concerto '.concertante.' has FRI waited over eight years for its UK Premiere and is performed FRI tonight by the work's dedicatees, the violinist Hiromi FRI Kikuchi and violist Ken Hakii, along with a huge orchestra FRI including a cimbalom and steel drum. The Finnish conductor FRI Jukka-Pekka Saraste brings his Nordic expertise to this FRI second instalment in the BBC Symphony Orchestra's Sibelius FRI Symphony Cycle in the second half. Sibelius's Sixth Symphony FRI was premiered in the same year as Bartok's Dance Suite - FRI 1923 - and was supposedly described by the composer (who was FRI no stranger to a drink) as pure spring water rather than a FRI cocktail. The concert finishes with Sibelius's final FRI completed symphony, his Seventh - a revolutionary work FRI conceived in one continuous movement , and one of the last FRI works he wrote, although he lived on another 33 years after FRI writing it.

FRI FRI David Walton's professional life has seen him tread an FRI unusual, and often delicate, path between botany and FRI international politics. In his Essay he explains how he FRI progressed from studying the lifecycle of small woody plants FRI on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia to sitting FRI shoulder-to-shoulder with world leaders, trying to create FRI the laws required to protect the continent from human FRI activity. FRI FRI "When Scott went "South" a century ago, the only laws he had FRI to concern himself with were those of survival. Now, with FRI more than 30 countries following in his wake, legislation to FRI protect this most pristine part of our planet is vital." FRI FRI Inspired by the lectures of Sir Raymond Priestley (the FRI geologist on Scott's expedition) David went "South" himself FRI in 1967 to conduct his own scientific research. But a chance FRI meeting with a charismatic seal biologist hauled him out of FRI the world of intricate biological research and into the FRI global political arena. FRI FRI "Perhaps the most difficult period was when the United FRI States delegation insisted on blocking every discussion on FRI climate change, regardless of the evidence, just because FRI George Bush Junior did not believe in it." FRI FRI David Walton is Emeritus Professor at the British Antarctic FRI Survey and Visiting Professor at the University of FRI Liverpool. He is Editor in Chief of the journal "Antarctic FRI Science" and has contributed to, compiled and edited, six FRI books on research in Antarctica.
