SAT SAT Author Philip Eisenbeiss comes into the Music Matters studio SAT to talk about his new biography of the legendary impresario SAT Domenico Barbaja, who dominated European operatic stages for SAT thirty years at the height of the bel canto era, and was SAT responsible for commissioning operas by Donizetti, Weber and SAT Bellini among others. SAT SAT Tom also catches up with Alexander Pereira, for nearly two SAT decades director of Zurich Opera, and since 2011 artistic SAT director of the Salzburg Festival. Pereira talks about the SAT importance of new music for the Festival, how he's dealing SAT with a large budget deficit, and who the Festival is really SAT for, given that ticket prices which are beyond the reach of SAT many people. SAT SAT Producer Emma Bloxham SAT SAT Mariinsky II SAT SAT This week has seen the opening of Mariinsky II – the new SAT state of the art opera house in St Petersburg connected to SAT the historic Mariinsky Theatre by a bridge over the Kryukov SAT Canal. The complex is now one of the world’s largest centres SAT for classical music, opera and ballet. The opening also SAT marks the 25th anniversary of the leadership of Artistic and SAT General Director Valery Gergiev, who has taken the company SAT from the closing years of the Soviet era into its new 21st SAT century home. SAT SAT Ahead of the opening gala Gergiev tells us how he feels and SAT Times chief music critic Richard Morrison gives his views SAT from St Petersburg. SAT SAT Domenico Barbaja SAT SAT Rags to riches millionaire, serial womaniser and gambling SAT magnate Domenico Barbaja was one of the greatest opera SAT impresarios of the 19th century. Responsible for the SAT emergence of Rossini, Bellini, and Donizetti, Barbaja also SAT promoted the greatest voices of the era including Isabella SAT Colbran and Maria Malibran. Philip Eisenbeiss (pictured) has SAT written a book chronicling the life and times of Barbaja SAT including his skilful navigation through the political SAT powers of the day – Napoleon, the Neapolitan Bourbons and SAT the Austrian Hapsburgs. SAT SAT Alexander Pereira SAT SAT In autumn 2011 Viennese born Alexander Pereira took over as SAT the Artistic Director of the Salzburg Festival. Having SAT formerly been in charge at Zurich Opera his appointment was SAT designed to steady the artistic and financial ship after SAT several difficult years for the festival. His first season SAT was last year, but the forthcoming festival is the first in SAT which he’s been able to realise his own plans. New music, SAT new productions, education projects and events for young SAT people are all part of his vision. SAT SAT In London recently to receive an award at the International SAT Opera Awards, Alexander talks to Tom about the many SAT challenges he faces, including raising enough money to make SAT it all happen. SAT SAT Arts and the Economy SAT SAT At the British Museum last week Maria Miller gave her first SAT keynote speech since becoming Culture Secretary last SAT September. In it she said the arts world must make the case SAT for public funding by focusing on its economic, not SAT artistic, value – ‘culture does not simply have a role to SAT play in bringing about a return to growth. Rather, it should SAT be central to these efforts.’ SAT SAT Tom is joined by Susanna Eastburn the Chief Executive of SAT Sound and Music, Randall Shannon the Executive Director of SAT the Buxton Festival, and Professor A C Grayling to discuss SAT the complexities of measuring the value of the arts in terms SAT of economic value. SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b01s5m26 (Listen) SAT Watteau and Music SAT SAT Lucie Skeaping looks at music and the 18th-century French SAT painter Antoine Watteau.

Whether or not one believes the supernatural SUN and mystical elements of the Gospel accounts, there is no SUN doubt that Mary, whoever she really was, has intrigued and SUN fascinated generations throughout the world, regardless of SUN cultural heritage or religion. SUN SUN Choosing how to address such a huge subject area was the SUN first hurdle; there are an infinite number of texts and SUN poems written about Mary and in Western culture it is hard SUN to avoid classical music that hasn’t been inspired or which SUN has some connection to Marian tradition. In the end I SUN decided to keep it simple and to follow her life story SUN chronologically, telling the story from the point of view of SUN writers and poets who are commenting on each stage of her SUN life. SUN SUN Jenny Agutter opens the programme in the present day with an SUN extract from a report from the Catholic News Agency about SUN the church officially acknowledging a miraculous appearance SUN of the Virgin to a young girl. The music that follows is SUN suitably mysterious and almost as miraculous, sung by a very SUN high male soprano multi-tracked over a glass harmonica. SUN Byron’s poem The Ave Hour establishes the titular theme of SUN the programme in adoration of the tradition of Marian prayer SUN followed by every choral singer’s favourite setting of these SUN words by the Renaissance English composer Robert Parsons. SUN SUN We then begin Mary’s life as depicted in the Bible with SUN Rupert Brooke’s account of the Annunciation as the Angel SUN Gabriel tells Mary she is to bear the Son of God and call SUN him Jesus. As Gabriel departs, accompanied by Rautavaara’s SUN birds in his “Cantus Arcticus”, Mary pours forth her SUN Magnificat, the song she sings upon discovering that her SUN barren cousin Elizabeth is pregnant, as Gabriel predicted, SUN with the future John the Baptist. J.S. Bach’s exuberantly SUN Baroque setting of her words is the only way to follow. SUN SUN Gerald Manly Hopkins May Magnificat plays upon the same SUN verbal ideas but is directed towards nature at the height of SUN spring, a time of year which is traditionally associated SUN with Mary. The months of her blooming in pregnancy are not SUN without problems, however, and her husband Joseph is asking SUN the obvious awkward questions in John Adam’s extraordinary SUN “El Niño”. Andrew Buchan hints at a chilling prediction of SUN what is to come in “Carpenter” by George MacKay Brown, in SUN which Joseph cuts down a tree to make a crib for the baby, SUN only to find that it’s not a fit piece of wood, so he sells SUN it to a centurion to make a gallows. SUN The baby is born and a choir of angels tells the news to SUN shepherds. There is any number of well-known and beautiful SUN carols depicting this scene, but I have a particular SUN admiration for the choral music of James MacMillan whose SUN works have already vastly enriched our liturgical choral SUN repertoire in the UK. His “lo the Angel of the Lord” is the SUN first of two of his works in this programme – very SUN atmospheric and almost sinister. SUN SUN The focus of this programme is Mary, however, and it is her SUN feelings we want to know about. Often portrayed as serene, SUN and in some medieval writings described as having no pain SUN when giving birth, it’s more likely she was terrified, which SUN WB Yeats acknowledges in his short poem “The Mother of God”. SUN Dorothy Parker is more reflective, looking at the new SUN mother with the benefit of hindsight and willing her to SUN enjoy these early days. John Ireland’s sentimental “Holy SUN Boy” is a beautifully simple piece and provides a gentle SUN pause before things begin to darken for the mother and SUN child. SUN SUN Our current poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy never fails to SUN provide a thought provoking contemporary insight into her SUN Biblical characters, and instead of a straight forward SUN account, describes Mary as she might have been viewed by SUN furtive neighbours through a window. SUN SUN There are few accounts of Jesus growing in the Gospels SUN except for a telling incident when the 12 year old boy SUN manages to run away from his parents, who spend three panic SUN stricken days looking for him. His attitude, when they SUN eventually discover him in the temple, is almost cruelly SUN aloof and it is one of the few times we get any sense of how SUN his mother might be feeling. Purcell takes this further SUN with his “Blessed Virgin’s Expostulation” which explores SUN Mary’s fear. Jacqui Dankworth and Anthony Kerr’s song SUN “Where are you” continues the theme and I was delighted to SUN find that it could create a kind of musical fusion with SUN Steve Reich’s “Desert Music”. SUN SUN Reich wrote this piece with what he describes as a Biblical SUN landscape in mind, and he comments on the opening of the SUN final movement, heard here, as wanting it to evoke the sense SUN of “out on the plain, running like hell”. The Holy family SUN had to “run like hell” from Nazareth as King Herod sent his SUN soldiers out and about to slaughter young babies, and one SUN gets the sense that in her heart, Mary never really stopped. SUN Thomas Hardy’s unusual poem “An evening in Galilee” brings a SUN refreshing air of reality to Mary as her son grows up and SUN she questions his sanity as he begins saying (to her mind) SUN odd things and collects unsuitable followers. I SUN particularly love the ending where she suddenly remembers SUN she hasn’t put on Joseph’s dinner. SUN SUN The mood suddenly and predictably turns black as we reach SUN the crucifixion. The “Stabat Mater” text, describing Mary SUN standing at the foot of the cross and grieving, has inspired SUN many exquisite musical settings. Vivaldi is a personal SUN favourite with its very simple but effective harmonic SUN sequences, and sung with cool beauty on this recording by SUN the counter tenor Andreas Scholl. James MacMillan focusses SUN on the Biblical passage from St John’s Gospel in which Jesus SUN asks the disciple “whom he loved” to look after his mother. SUN SUN Almost nothing is written in the New Testament about what SUN happens to Mary after the crucifixion, but in Catholic SUN tradition she is eventually assumed into Heaven and crowned, SUN and there are plenty of musical and poetical settings of SUN texts describing Mary, the Queen of Heaven. Once there, she SUN acts as an advocate on our behalf, the most popular words SUN used by worshippers being “Ave Maria” – “Hail Mary… pray for SUN us sinners now and at the hour of our death”. There are too SUN many gorgeous musical versions to choose from, but The SUN Polish composer Pavel Lukaszewski’s is new to me and its SUN almost sugary sweet harmony is a fun contrast with Oscar SUN Wilde’s rather earnest account of seeing a portrait of Mary SUN and asking her to pray for his forgiveness. SUN SUN Spectacular Marian processions are a great tradition in SUN Catholic countries and in convents such as the one Marina SUN Warner attended as a child, and after all the sombre SUN grieving and praying it’s a relief to hear some more light SUN hearted music. Wolf-Ferrari’s opera “The Jewels of the SUN Madonna” has the usual complex plot one would expect, but at SUN its heart is a procession carrying an image of the Virgin SUN bedecked in sparkling adornments. SUN SUN There is an entire tradition of Mary’s association with the SUN sea and I could have dedicated the whole programme to it, SUN but the Timothy Daniel Sullivan’s “Fisherman’s Prayer” is SUN fairly typical, depicting Mary as a star which guides SUN sailors in their hour of need. The weather theme is SUN continued as the programme draws to a close with a song by SUN Nick Drake, who sings to the “strange face, with your eyes SUN so pale” and asks her to “lend a hand and lift me to your SUN place in the cloud”. SUN SUN The final quotation read by Andrew Buchan is from the writer SUN Seamus Heaney who neatly sums up his personal view of the SUN prayer from which this programme takes its title, and in the SUN popular version of the Ave Maria by Gounod, based on Bach’s SUN 1st prelude for keyboard, Cecilia Bartoli definitely gives SUN it an amorous treatment. SUN SUN 19:45 Sunday Feature b01s5mbb (Listen) SUN Piano's Music Boxes SUN SUN Renzo Piano is the architect behind the tallest building in SUN Western Europe, the skyscraper on the South Bank of the SUN Thames at London Bridge - The Shard. From a family of SUN builders, he grew up wanting to be a musician, and Tom SUN Service discovers how he sees the basic elements of music as SUN fundamental to his way of thinking about his buildings. SUN SUN Piano talks about realising the connection between SUN architecture and the condition of music. He believes the two SUN different disciplines share the same desires - the desire of SUN precision, mathematics, geometry, but also the same desire SUN to fly and to be light. SUN SUN His landmark buildings include cultural centres and concert SUN halls around the world. Tom visits IRCAM in Paris, and the SUN Parco della musica in Rome, meeting Piano's fellow SUN architects, the acousticians, and the musicians who use the SUN buildings to tell a story about the relationship between SUN music and space, sound and architecture. SUN SUN Producer: Jeremy Evans. SUN SUN 20:30 Drama on 3 b01ryffy (Listen) SUN Curated by Mark Ravenhill, The Octoroon SUN SUN By Dion Boucicault SUN Adapted by Mark Ravenhill SUN SUN As part of a season of plays curated by playwright Mark SUN Ravenhill, BBC Radio 3 presents new production of Dion SUN Boucicault's 1859 melodrama The Octoroon - a play that SUN sparked debates about the abolition of slavery and the role SUN of theatre in politics. The drama was recorded in front of SUN an audience at Theatre Royal Stratford East, the venue that SUN saw an earlier production of the same play in 1885. SUN SUN The story centres around the inhabitants of the Louisiana SUN plantation of Terrebonne. Zoe, the "octoroon" of the title, SUN is the daughter of its owner Judge Peyton by one of his SUN slaves, but she has been raised as part of the family. When SUN the Judge dies, the plantation falls into financial ruin and SUN the Judge's handsome nephew George arrives as heir apparent. SUN George and Zoe soon find themselves in love, but their SUN future happiness is thrown into jeopardy by the plantation's SUN evil overseer Jacob McLosky who has dastardly designs on SUN both the property and Zoe.

MON MON 22:45 The Essay b01809np (Listen) MON The Antarcticans, Unveiling Antarctica MON MON To mark the centenary of Roald Amundsen's arrival at the MON South Pole (to be followed a month later by Captain Scott), MON this series of The Essay is presented by professionals who MON have lived and worked in Antarctica. 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 A Culture Wise production for BBC Radio 3 MON First broadcast in December 2011.

MON MON Since his Mercury-nominated acoustic trio release in 2010, MON Kit Downes has been one of the UK's most talked-about young MON composer-pianists. Alongside that group - and the funk-edged MON keyboard sounds he adds to prog-jazzers Troyka and MON experimental outfit The Golden Age Of Steam - Kit's quintet MON has offered the opportunity for the subtlest of his MON compositional ideas to shine through. In this headline set MON he performs music from recently released record Light From MON Old Stars, with the warmth of Lucy Railton's cello and the MON textural possibilities offered by multi-reedsman James MON Allsopp being standout elements in the band's sound. MON MON An original Jazz Warrior of the '90s, Tony Kofi comes from a MON different generation of British jazz musicians and over the MON last two decades has performed with some of the music's most MON notable acts, from Jazz Jamaica to Donald Byrd and US-3. MON Building on the work of his Monk Liberation Band, Kofi here MON presents 'Reflections of Monk', a concentrated solo MON improvisation for alto saxophone. MON MON Celebrating the depth and diversity of the contemporary MON British jazz scene, Jez Nelson presents from the stage at MON The Cockpit in London, an in-the-round theatre set-up that MON helps to bring a real intimacy to these live jazz MON performances.

TUE TUE 14:00 Afternoon on 3 b01s65dn (Listen) TUE Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Bavarian Radio Symphony TUE Orchestra TUE TUE Presented by Penny Gore. TUE TUE Today's Beethoven symphony is the Eroica, originally TUE dedicated to Napoleon but Beethoven's subsequent TUE disillusionment prompted him to cross this dedication out TUE and the published score read "Sinfonia Eroica, Composed to TUE Celebrate the Memory of a Great Man." TUE TUE Richard Strauss's Metamorphosen laments the destruction of TUE Germany during WW2, in particular the devastating bombing of TUE Munich - where the Bavarian RSO are based. A theme from the TUE funeral march (2nd movement) of Beethoven's Eroica is quoted TUE at the end of the piece, with the words "In Memoriam!" TUE written in the score. Is it a dedication to Beethoven? or TUE even to Hitler? Much as Beethoven rejected Napoleon, Strauss TUE showed initial support then repudiation of the Nazi regime. TUE TUE Mendelssohn's description of his second symphony was 'A TUE Symphony-Cantata on Words of the Holy Bible, for Soloists, TUE Chorus and Orchestra' and was written to celebrate the 400th TUE anniversary of the invention of printing.

Renowned for his electrifying performances of TUE the Baroque repertoire, in this concert he turns his TUE attention to music of the later 18th century - with a TUE concerto and a divertimento by Haydn, one of Mozart's most TUE delightful Salzburg symphonies, and a rarity by Gaetano TUE Pugnani, the 18th-century violin prodigy who studied with TUE Giuseppe Tartini, himself taught Giovanni Battista Viotti, TUE and who unknowingly gave his name to the pastiche TUE compositions passed off by a notable virtuoso violinist of TUE our own times - Fritz Kreisler. TUE TUE 20:15 Twenty Minutes b01mdlly (Listen) TUE Ne'er Cast a Clout ... TUE TUE "Late August when three Kestrels fly - Autumn will be dry." TUE David King is something of a phenomenon in the world of TUE weather forecasting. TUE Having spent the last 50 years watching the signs of nature, TUE he believes his cross-referencing system has now reached 90% TUE accuracy rate - up to 9 months ahead of time. His close TUE study of the natural world around his home in Kent has TUE enabled him to trust in sayings, some of which go back TUE hundreds of years, and some of which he has created himself. TUE "If the first week of August is unusually hot, the winter TUE will be white and long." TUE To find out about how David King works and walks, David TUE Bramwell, takes to the fields and hedgerows armed with a TUE keen eye, a pair of stout boots and a sheaf of country TUE weather sayings, to find out how we can all learn from the TUE flies, ants, apples and mists to read nature better for TUE ourselves, and which sayings are based in fact.

TUE TUE 22:45 The Essay b0180cw3 (Listen) TUE The Antarcticans, Adelies and Obsession 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 WED 22:45 The Essay b0180f7c (Listen) WED The Antarcticans, The Last Huskies 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. WED WED He recounts their last big adventure north which tragically WED transformed into a life and death struggle for the huskies. WED WED The words of Amundsen's companion Helmar Hansen speaking a WED century earlier, echo in his head: WED "Dogs like that - who share man's hard times and strenuous WED work - cannot be looked upon merely as animals. They are WED supporters and friends. There is no such thing as making a WED pet out of a sledge dog, these animals are worth much more WED than that."

THU THU 14:00 Afternoon on 3 b01s65dv (Listen) THU Presented by Penny Gore THU THU Karl Amadeus Hartmann was one of the few German composers to THU emerge untainted by any association with the Third Reich at THU the end of the Second World War. Born in Munich, he was a THU committed socialist all his life which informed his every THU creative move. His opera Simplicius Simplicissimus was based THU on a 17th-century novel by Grimmelshausen about a young THU boy's reactions to the horrors of the 30 Years' War. This THU original chamber orchestra version was written in the mid THU 1930s, when Hartmann could see the threat of war very THU clearly on the horizon. Hartmann's teacher, the conductor THU Hermann Scherchen, provided much of the libretto. It opens THU "In A.D. 1618, 12 million lived in Germany. Then came the THU great war [...] In A.D. 1648 only 4 million still lived in THU Germany" THU THU Giovanni Antonini leads members of the Bavarian RSO from the THU recorder in Bach's fourth Brandenburg Concerto, and today's THU Beethoven Symphony is his fourth, the Adagio second movement THU of which so impressed Hector Berlioz that he claimed it was THU the work of the Archangel Michael.

THU THU 22:45 The Essay b0180fbg (Listen) THU The Antarcticans, How Not to Make Ice Cream in Antarctica 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. In 2002 she was awarded the Polar Medal for her THU contribution to British research in the Polar Regions, her THU work on fossil plants, and the ancient climates of the THU Arctic and the Antarctic.

They frame a concerto by FRI Shostakovich - a piano concerto in all but name - and FRI Haydn's "Mass for troubled times" which illustrates the FRI rather different reaction of its composer to the advance of FRI Napoleon than the Eroica Symphony we heard on Tuesday. FRI In 1945 Hartmann was one of the few creative people in FRI Bavaria unblemished by association with the Nazi regime and FRI was instrumental in rebuilding cultural life. He founded the FRI Musica Viva concert series which championed music by young, FRI hitherto unknown composers. The Bavarian Radio Symphony FRI Orchestra continues the series to this day, and a recent FRI concert included this performance of Hartmann's Seventh FRI Symphony.

FRI FRI 18:00 Composer of the Week b01s9fxy (Listen) FRI [Repeat of broadcast at 12:00 today] FRI FRI 19:00 Radio 3 Live in Concert b01s6brt (Listen) FRI Handel FRI FRI Live from St John's Smith Square, London FRI Presented by Martin Handley FRI FRI On the opening night of the 2013 Lufthansa Festival of FRI Baroque Music, Paul McCreesh conducts Handel's pastoral ode, FRI based on poems by John Milton. FRI FRI George Frideric Handel: L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il FRI Moderato FRI FRI Gillian Webster (soprano) FRI Jeremy Ovenden (tenor) FRI Ashley Riches (baritone) FRI FRI Gabrieli Consort & Players FRI Paul McCreesh (director) FRI FRI 8.00: Interval FRI FRI 8.20: Handel: L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato, Parts FRI 2 and 3 FRI FRI Tonight's performance sets the theme of this year's FRI Lufthansa Festival, which is Nature. In 1740 Handel's FRI librettist Charles Jennens brought together two pastoral FRI poems by John Milton, written a hundred years earlier. FRI 'L'Allegro' and 'Il Penseroso' - roughly 'mirth and FRI melancholy' - is a reflection on contrasting emotions, and FRI Jennens presented the two as a dialogue, adding his own FRI extra emotion 'moderation'. Handel's oratorio, first FRI performed at London's Royal Theatre in Lincoln's Inn Fields, FRI is a poetic evocation of English town and country. FRI FRI 22:00 The Verb b01s69wl (Listen) FRI An 'intellectual' edition of Radio 3's 'Cabaret of the Word' FRI presented by Ian McMillan, with Robert Colls, Stephen Law, FRI Paul Taylor and Bidisha. FRI FRI 22:45 The Essay b0180fgd (Listen) FRI The Antarcticans, Making the Rules for Antarctica 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. FRI FRI Producer Chris Eldon Lee FRI A Culture Wise production for BBC Radio 3 FRI First broadcast in December 2011. FRI FRI 23:00 World on 3 b01s69xp (Listen) FRI Session with Nordic Fiddlers Bloc FRI FRI Mary Ann Kennedy with tracks from across the globe, and a FRI studio session with Norwegian-Swedish-Scottish collaboration FRI Nordic Fiddlers Bloc. FRI FRI The Scottish element of Nordic Fiddlers Bloc is Kevin FRI Henderson from the Shetland Islands, and the fact that FRI Shetland is closer to the Norwegian city of Bergen than it FRI is to Edinburgh underlines the historical connections FRI between those islands and Scandanavia. The other Bloc FRI members are Norwegian fiddler Olav Luksengard Mjelva, and FRI Anders Hall from Sweden, and all three are young players who FRI have already earned wide acclaim as individuals. All three FRI regions have rich and distinctive fiddling styles, and it FRI was Andres Hall who suggested bringing these together in FRI Nordic Fiddlers Bloc. They are currently on a tour of the FRI UK, Ireland and Scandanavia to promote their self-titled FRI album. FRI
