SUN SUN 12:00 Private Passions b03nc688 (Listen) SUN Music on the Brink: Pat Barker SUN SUN Writer Pat Barker is fascinated by the First World War; for SUN twenty years now, her award-winning novels have returned SUN again and again to the trauma and grief and erotic intensity SUN of wartime. Her novels draw on the experiences of real SUN people: Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, and in particular SUN the army doctor W.H. Rivers, a pioneering psychiatrist who SUN treated victims of shell shock. As this centenary year SUN opens, with all its commemorations of the First World War, SUN Pat Barker talks about why and how we should remember War - SUN and about the power of fiction to tell historical truth. SUN SUN She reveals that her fascination with war began as a child; SUN she was brought up by her grandparents, and her grandfather SUN had a bayonet wound which she saw every time he washed at SUN the kitchen sink. 'Through my grandfather and my stepfather, SUN I have a direct link through to the world before the war - SUN for me it's not simply reading history.' Pat Barker herself SUN was a war baby - born in 1943 after her mother, a Wren, had SUN a one-night stand with a man in the RAF. She never traced SUN her father, and that central mystery in her life, 'half my SUN identity missing', was part of what drove her to write. She SUN talks about the stigma her mother faced as an unmarried SUN mother, and in a moving section of the interview she wishes SUN she could speak to her mother now to tell her 'It doesn't SUN matter'. SUN SUN Pat Barker's music choices include her grandfather's SUN favourite music hall song - his party piece as a boy in the SUN 1890s; Anton Lesser reading two poems by Wilfred Owen, and SUN Benjamin Britten's setting of Wilfred Owen in his SUN 'Nocturne'; Butterworth's 'The Banks of Green Willow'; SUN original cast recordings from Joan Littlewood's 'Oh What a SUN Lovely War'; and Elgar's Cello Concerto, in the famous SUN recording by Jacqueline du Pré.

SUN Paul Farley journeys down France's sleepiest river whose SUN character belies its violent history. SUN SUN Paul travels source to sea along the River Somme in northern SUN France, rising in the hills at Fonsommes near Saint-Quentin SUN and flowing quietly westward for 152 miles to empty into the SUN English Channel. The name Somme comes from the Celtic SUN samara, meaning 'tranquillity', and the river's course SUN through the Picardy chalk along a constantly gentle gradient SUN gives a clue to its peaceful character. But its valley forms SUN an ancient marshy belt, an important strategic barrier in SUN the approaches from Flanders towards Paris, and this has led SUN to the river - and its name - entering history for SUN altogether more turbulent reasons. SUN SUN For the past century, the phrase 'the Somme' has been used SUN to sum up and distil the utter futility and waste of the SUN Great War. The Battle of the Somme, which took place during SUN the summer and autumn of 1916, has given the river a lasting SUN infamy and melancholy in language, a proper noun that has SUN become a byword for the futility of conflict. On the day SUN this campaign began, the British alone suffered 60,000 SUN casualties. And from 1914 onwards the Somme became a SUN frontline for a series of German offensives including The SUN Race to the Sea. But the Great War is only one of the SUN conflicts in which this quiet river has found itself the SUN centre of, and the Somme has much deeper historical sources SUN linking it with warfare and the English. SUN William the Conqueror assembled his great fleet for the 1066 SUN invasion in the river's bay at Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, and SUN the river was also a key crossing in the Agincourt and Crecy SUN campaigns. The feudal medieval armies of Edward III found SUN the River Somme an impassable barrier, the bridges heavily SUN defended or destroyed, forcing them to march down the left SUN bank to the sea. They finally crossed at the mouth of the SUN river at low tide, just evading the clutches of the pursuing SUN French. Exhausted and soaked Edward's troops encamped in the SUN Forêt de Creçy on the north bank of the Somme. Geography and SUN geology have always determined the character of conflict, SUN and the German army that dug into stronger limestone SUN positions over five hundred years later wreaked wholesale SUN havoc and slaughter by using the lie of the land to their SUN advantage. Paul's journey along the river explores how SUN natural features still visible today have shaped human SUN history, and how history itself changes course in the same SUN way as a river. The yew bows of Edward's archers and the SUN high explosive barrages of the British Army rained their SUN arrows and shells onto the same Picardy soil. SUN SUN The river has such long-standing associations with the SUN English and warfare that it also flows into Shakespeare, and SUN Henry V, of which the Agincourt campaign is the centrepiece, SUN entering the very heart of our literature. SUN SUN The Somme has been associated with the English and war for SUN time out of mind, bearing English blood along its current SUN towards home, and the Channel. But alongside this, Paul SUN travels gently downstream from the river's natural source, SUN while shooting the huge historical rapids, and discovers a SUN still and reflective passage at the centre of its tumultuous SUN past. He finds the river's tranquil, innocent source and SUN explores how the pools and backwaters of the upper Somme SUN might offer an analogue to memory and healing, the clearer SUN reaches before the current enters the long historical SUN nightmare. He finds how the river has also inspired dreamers SUN and the imagination. Jules Verne wrote 20,000 Leagues Under SUN the Sea and Around the World in 80 Days while living near SUN the river at Amiens, and Paul looks at how the river has SUN also been a conduit to creativity, flowing down towards the SUN open sea and a borderless realm of infinite possibility.

MON MON Stepping back exactly a hundred years, five BBC News MON correspondents present personal perspectives on the capital MON cities of the major European powers that, later in 1914, MON would face each other in the Great War. We start in the MON capital of the Habsburg Empire and the rich multiculturalism MON of Mitteleuropa. MON MON In this programme, Bethany Bell, the BBC's Vienna MON Correspondent, evokes both the public face of MON Austria-Hungary's capital and the simmering tensions which MON underlay its multi-national empire on the eve of the MON greatest conflagration the world had yet seen. Taking us on MON a richly evocative tour of the embodiment of Mitteleuropa, MON she tells us about a world that was soon to be torn asunder MON but of which telling - and not always attractive - elements MON remain. MON MON It is all too easy to forget, she reminds us, that within MON months Vienna was home to Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Leon MON Trotsky, Siegmund Freud and Josef Broz (later Marshal Tito) MON - all figures who defined the twentieth century. She also MON discusses the critic and satirist Karl Kraus and the MON controversial pre-World War One mayor of Vienna Karl Lueger. MON MON For the multiple nationalities of 1914 Vienna, the chronic MON tensions which bedevilled this polyglot empire were MON painfully familiar. The programme reveals what has survived MON to this day of the compromised nature of Vienna from the era MON of Zemlinsky and Schreker and of Schoenberg, Webern and MON Berg. MON MON Producer Simon Coates. MON MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 b02yjm79 (Listen) MON Black Top, Laura Jurd MON MON Jazz on 3 is visiting the historic Maida Vale studios for MON the first time ever.

WED WED One of the acknowledged masterpieces of European fiction - WED it has been compared to Ford Madox Ford's Parade's End, WED Proust's In Search of Lost Time or Joyce's Ulysses. Left WED unfinished by the Austrian author at his death in 1942, The WED Man Without Qualities is one of the first comprehensive WED accounts of a truly modern sensibility and examines a world WED perched on the brink of catastrophe - about to fall headlong WED into the turmoil and anguish of the Great War. WED WED Joining Matthew Sweet for a Landmark discussion about the WED book, its author and the historical landscape from which WED they both emerged are the writers Margaret Drabble and WED William Boyd, the cultural historian Philipp Blom, German WED literature expert Andrew Webber and with readings from Peter WED Marinker. WED WED Producer: Zahid Warley. WED WED 22:45 The Essay b03ncnfc (Listen) WED Music on the Brink, Berlin WED WED Stepping back in time exactly a century, five BBC News WED correspondents present their personal perspectives on the WED capital cities of the major European powers that, later in WED 1914, would fight the Great War. WED WED The programmes now reach the epicentre of turmoil on the eve WED of conflagration: Berlin, the capital of Kaiser Wilhelm II's WED empire. Stephen Evans, the BBC's Berlin Correspondent, WED reminds us that the German capital on the eve of war was the WED world's most innovative technological centre. Einstein was WED here, the director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for WED Physics from 1914. Mark Twain called Berlin the "German WED Chicago" because of its dizzying sense of modernity and WED progress. Immigrants were sucked in by industry. In 1895, WED 20,000 Berliners worked in the factories being built on the WED outskirts of the city, living cheek-by-jowl in new blocks WED which became known as "rental barracks". WED WED But all this industrial energy and the wealth it created - WED which we still associate with today's Germany - came at a WED price. Both male and female workers felt alienated in their WED work, likening themselves to machines. As women grew in WED importance to the economy, so did the loudness of the WED criticism of their alleged neglect of traditional home WED virtues. The image of Germany united in war that was to be WED orchestrated later in the year was already belied by the WED reality of daily life in the capital itself. WED WED As part of the Music on the Brink season, each programme in WED this series of "The Essay" considers the special character WED of the main European capitals on the eve of war in 1914. WED WED Producer Simon Coates. WED WED 23:00 Late Junction b03ncpw7 (Listen) WED Nick Luscombe with more music from Commonwealth countries.

THU THU 12:00 Composer of the Week b03ncjd2 (Listen) THU Vienna on the Brink, The Master Dies THU THU Donald Macleod continues his chronology of pre-war musical THU Vienna. 1911, and as Vienna's young modernists find their THU voice, a flame of Vienna's glorious past is extinguished. THU THU As part of World War I on the BBC, this week Radio 3 focuses THU on the European music scene in the years leading up to the THU First World War. THU In the first decade and a half of the twentieth century, THU Vienna was the hub of the world's art, music and philosophy. THU Donald Macleod takes us through the key musical figures and THU works that made waves in pre-war Vienna, including Mahler, THU Korngold, Zemlinsky and the "Second Viennese School" of THU Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, and explores the personal, THU musical and philosophical conflicts that tore it apart. THU THU As Vienna entered the second decade of the 20th century, its THU young Turks were, in very different ways, finding a unique THU musical voice. Yet the year would be remembered for two THU giants of Vienna past. On May 18th, Gustav Mahler died, THU having made a final return journey from the New World to his THU native Austria. Donald Macleod explores this seismic musical THU event and its impact on the younger generation, and THU introduces the musical hit of the year by a composer from an THU older generation: "Der Rosenkavalier" by the 47 year-old THU Richard Strauss.

THU THU The richly sonorous voice of Russian bass Alexander THU Vinogradov is the ideal medium for Strauss's most evocative THU orchestral songs, the orchestrations of which are THU fascinatingly responsive to the poetic texts they set. 'Das THU Thal' (The Valley) is an affectionate celebration of nature, THU while 'Der Einsame' (The Lonesome One) explores the darkest THU reaches of the human soul. THU THU The influence of Tchaikovsky can be clearly discerned in THU Sibelius's First Symphony and particularly in the THU heart-on-sleeve lyricism of its glorious finale. THU THU Followed by a Music on the Brink Modernist Moment, THU introduced by Tom Service. THU THU 22:00 Free Thinking b03ncqlk (Listen) THU Landmark: George Dangerfield's The Strange Death of Liberal THU England THU THU As part of BBC Radio 3's Music on the Brink season Professor THU Roy Foster, the journalist and author Nick Cohen, Baroness THU Shirley Williams, Duncan Brack of the Liberal Democrat Party THU History Group and the author Bea Campbell join Philip Dodd THU to discuss a Landmark book which explores the collapse of THU Liberal values in Britain. And does ''The Strange Death of THU Liberal England' written by George Dangerfield in 1934 have THU a message for political debate and the wider culture now? THU THU Dangerfield's first memory as a child was of being held up THU to a window in May 1910 to watch Halley's Comet falling THU across the sky and it is with this moment in time that he THU begins his book. The Right Honourable Herbert Henry Asquith THU is watching the comet from the deck of an Admiralty Yacht THU way out in the Bay of Biscay having just heard via wireless THU that Edward VII is dead. And as HMS Enchantress tacks for THU Plymouth, Asquith stands in the summer ocean twilight and THU wonders how the new George V will tackle the political THU crises that lie just ahead. THU THU The rapid collapse of self-confidence from the apogee of THU Empire to industrial unrest, mutiny, civil war in Ireland, THU The Parliament Act of 1911, the Suffragette movement: this THU was the reality of the lead-up to World War I. It was a THU period which marked the end of English Liberalism, and this THU is Dangerfield's subject. THU THU Dangerfield said of historical writing that it should be 'a THU combination of taste, imagination, science and scholarship; THU it reconciles incompatibles, it balances probabilities; and THU at last attains the reality of fiction.' THU THU Philip Dodd and guests discuss the relevance of the book THU both to our understanding of the pre-war period, so often THU seen as a golden age of Edwardian splendour, and to today. THU THU Producer Neil Trevithick. THU THU 22:45 The Essay b03ncnfk (Listen) THU Music on the Brink, St Petersburg THU THU Stepping back in time exactly a century, five BBC News THU correspondents present their personal perspectives on the THU capital cities of the major European powers that, later in THU 1914, would fight the Great War. THU THU The series continues with the remarkable city which would - THU uniquely - soon be renamed amidst bloody regicide and THU revolution: St Petersburg. THU THU The BBC's Moscow correspondent, Steve Rosenberg, finds a THU revealing connection, however, between the St. Petersburg of THU 1914 and its counterpart of today. THU THU Foreshadowing the appalling conflict to come across the THU European continent, he tells the remarkable story of the THU Grand International Masters' Chess Tournament of 1914, with THU its starring cast of Russian, German, French, British and THU American competitors and its dramas of who won and who lost. THU THU But the tournament also demonstrated the Russian passion for THU chess that continues to this day and helps define its THU national identity as well as the fierce competition with THU other countries. THU THU As part of the Music on the Brink season, each programme in THU this series of The Essay considers the special character of THU St. Petersburg, Berlin, Vienna, Paris and London.

FRI FRI As part of the "Music on the Brink" season, each programme FRI in this series of "The Essay" considers the special FRI character of Vienna, Paris, Berlin, St Petersburg and FRI London. The programmes conclude with Emma Jane Kirby FRI considering the capital of the largest contemporary modern FRI maritime empire: London. FRI FRI To today's listeners some of Londoners' concerns in 1914 may FRI seem remarkably familiar. Complaints about the Tube were as FRI frequent and heartfelt a hundred years ago as they are FRI today. To try and divert travellers from their misery, FRI Macdonald Gill - the brother of Eric Gill, the sculptor and FRI designer - was commissioned to produce a "Wonderground" map. FRI FRI It was intended to amuse them as they waited for their FRI trains which were infrequent, often dirty and over-crowded. FRI The map's whimsical illustrations - together with Cockney FRI asides put in the mouths of some of the invented characters FRI - captured the city's above-ground, pre-war character. It FRI evoked the zeitgeist which George Bernard Shaw FRI simultaneously reflected on stage in "Pygmalion" - and led FRI to a subsequent commission to design a theatreland map FRI during the First World War. FRI FRI Emma Jane Kirby considers the idea of Britain which London FRI was presenting to both the wider world and Britons FRI themselves in 1914. And she assesses how far these attitudes FRI still resonate today. FRI FRI Producer Simon Coates.
