Among those contributing to discuss his style SAT and influence are harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani and SAT conductor Rebecca Miller. Also, Petroc talks to the SAT celebrated Austrian pianist Rudolf Buchbinder and, SAT continuing with our interviews with people at the helm of SAT the UK's most prestigious musical institutions, a SAT conversation with Jonathan Reekie, who's leaving Aldeburgh SAT Music after 16 years as Chief Executive. And conductor SAT Richard Bernas and Petroc discuss the legacy of American SAT avant-garde composer Robert Ashley, who died earlier this SAT week. SAT SAT CPE BACH AT 300 SAT SAT Saturday 8th March 2014 marks the 300th birthday of Carl SAT Philipp Emanuel Bach. Johann Sebastian’s second surviving SAT eldest son is the most important composer to have led the SAT progression from the Baroque epoch to the Viennese classical SAT period - developing his own unique style. He had crucial SAT influence on Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven and into the SAT Romantic era. Although his father is far better known today, SAT in his lifetime CPE Bach was highly acclaimed and his work, SAT including chamber pieces, concerti, orchestral and sacred SAT music, was heard far and wide. Petroc Trelawny assesses the SAT legacy of this revolutionary composer with the conductor SAT Rebecca Miller and the harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani. SAT SAT RUDOLF BUCHBINDER SAT SAT The Austrian pianist Rudolf Buchbinder has recorded all of SAT Beethoven’s piano music and played complete cycles of the SAT sonatas nearly fifty times. Having first recorded the SAT sonatas more than thirty years ago he has recently returned SAT to them using first edition scores and the composer’s SAT original manuscripts. Petroc talked to Buchbinder who was in SAT Vienna - the place he was raised and educated - and found SAT out what new discoveries he has made about Beethoven’s SAT music, the importance of Haydn, and about what he has SAT learned from the original manuscripts of Brahms which he SAT owns. An avid collector, he tells Petroc about his vast SAT collection of films – and single malt Scotch whisky! SAT SAT JONATHAN REEKIE ON LEAVING ALDEBURGH SAT SAT Jonathan Reekie took up the position of chief executive of SAT Aldeburgh Music sixteen years ago. The organisation runs SAT Snape Maltings and its concert spaces, the Aldeburgh SAT Festival and education programmes including Aldeburgh Young SAT Musicians and the Britten-Pears Young Artists Programme. As SAT Reekie prepares to leave Aldeburgh at the end of this week SAT he talks to Petroc about what has been achieved during his SAT tenure. Among the topics discussed are the probing SAT questions: could the Aldeburgh model be replicated anywhere SAT else in the UK? Is the festival an elite club? And how SAT secure is the organisation financially? SAT SAT ROBERT ASHLEY 1930-2014 SAT SAT The American composer Robert Ashley died on Monday 3rd March SAT at the age of 83. He had just finished his latest opera SAT “Crash” three months ago and was in rehearsal for its SAT premiere in New York in April. Ashley is credited with SAT creating the first “truly American” operas, most of them for SAT television. His works include spoken dialogue, chanting and SAT even mumbling which he used in pioneering ways. His SAT librettos, most of which he wrote himself, had little SAT conventional plot. Petroc is joined by the conductor and SAT contemporary music specialist Richard Bernas, who knew the SAT composer, to look back at Ashley’s life and work.

He has also appeared already at many SAT of the world's most prestigious concer venues. SAT SAT Born in 1988 in Liverpool, composer and clarinettist Mark SAT Simpson became the first ever winner of both the BBC Young SAT Musician of the Year and BBC Proms/Guardian Young composer SAT of the Year Competitions in 2006 at the age of 17.

He gives recitals at Wigmore Hall, Royal Festival SAT Hall and the Purcell Room and has premiered works by Simon SAT Holt and Jonathan Harvey.

MON MON 12:00 Composer of the Week b03x17ws (Listen) MON Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847), Mendelssohn in Britain MON MON Donald Macleod explores Mendelssohn's connections with MON Britain. MON MON Felix Mendelssohn had a remarkable, if brief career, cut MON short at the age of just 38 in 1847. He was born into an MON exceptional family. His grandfather Moses was a much MON respected Jewish philosopher, while his father Abraham, a MON wealthy Jewish banker and his mother Lea, a cultivated, MON musical woman had the standing and means to provide their MON four children with every opportunity Berlin society could MON offer. Only a handful of composers can match Mendelssohn's MON precocious talent. A child prodigy, famously likened by his MON friend Robert Schumann to Mozart, Felix's public career MON began at the age of 9. Between the ages of 11 and 15, he MON wrote 13 strings symphonies, 5 concertos, 4 operas, chamber MON music, piano and organ pieces, solo songs and choral pieces. MON Across the week Donald explores the musical treasures MON inspired by these formative years. MON MON Few composers can have received a warmer welcome in Britain MON than Felix Mendelssohn. He owes one of his biggest MON successes, "Elijah" to the warm reception it received from MON the British public. He arrived for what would be the first MON of many visits in 1829. After a very rough crossing during MON which he endured terrible sea-sickness, his first MON destination was London, where he put up in rented rooms at MON 103 Great Portland Street, just around the corner from the MON BBC's Broadcasting House. Armed with a set of visiting cards MON to which the English "Mr." had been added, he cut an elegant MON figure in London society, enjoying great success as a MON conductor, pianist and composer. Having charmed the English, MON Mendelssohn travelled to Scotland, where a trip to the MON Hebridean island of Staffa inspired one of his best loved MON overtures. MON MON 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert b03x17wv (Listen) MON Wigmore Hall: Brentano Quartet MON MON Live from Wigmore Hall, London. MON MON Brentano Quartet MON MON Shostakovich: String Quartet No 11 in F minor, Op 122 MON Beethoven: String Quartet in E minor, Op 59 No 2 MON MON Presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch. MON MON The Brentano Quartet play two masterworks of the chamber MON repertoire: they begin with Shostakovich's darkly tense MON String Quartet no 11, and contrast this with Beethoven's MON contemplative E minor Quartet, the second of his MON middle-period set of three dedicated to his patron Count MON Razumovsky. MON MON The Brentano Quartet takes its name from Antonie Brentano, MON whom many scholars consider to be Beethoven's "Immortal MON Beloved", the intended recipient of his famous love MON confession. The Quartet was formed in 1992, receiving high MON critical acclaim and winning a number of awards. The Quartet MON had its first European tour in 1997, and was honoured in the MON UK with the Royal Philharmonic Award for Most Outstanding MON Debut. Last year the quartet was named as the new Quartet in MON Residence at the Yale School of Music.

MON MON Live from City Halls in Glasgow MON Presented by Jamie MacDougall MON MON MacCunn: The Ship o' the Fiend MON Chisholm: Piano Concerto No.2 (Hindustani) MON MON Danny Driver (piano) MON BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra MON James MacMillan (conductor) MON MON The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra opens with a work by MON Hamish MacCunn. Born in 1868 in the town of Greenock, a MON significant Scottish port at the time, his dramatic overture MON "The Ship o' the Fiend" has sea-faring in mind, though not MON from a Scottish source, and concerning a vessel of a ghostly MON nature. MON In the early Twentieth-Century composer Eric Chisholm was MON known as 'McBartok'. Although of Scottish origin he MON exercised a keen interest in a wide range of international MON folk music idioms. He spent much time living and researching MON in Cape Town South Africa, and his Piano Concerto No. 2 MON draws material from Hindustani themes and the concepts of MON raga. It is performed by Danny Driver. MON Alasdair Spratt is a young composer who was born in Glasgow MON and his work "Obsess" for mixed ensemble -first heard in MON Manchester in 2003- is inspired by the idea of obsessive MON negative introspection. MON As a composer and a conductor James MacMillan is one of the MON most significant international musicians to emerge from MON Scotland in recent years. This evening he concludes the MON programme with his own "The Confession of Isobel Gowdie", a MON work of passion and immediacy it draws inspiration from MON 'witchcraft' executions in Scotland during the Reformation, MON including the hysterical and sadistic burning-at-the-stake MON of the titular 'witch'. It is a dramatic and programmatic MON work: setting out to explore ideas of good and evil, MON persecution and cultural insecurity, and ultimately MON attempting to "capture the soul of Scotland in music.". MON MON 20:20 Commonwealth Stories b03xd98k (Listen) MON Renewals, by Romesh Gunesekera MON MON The first of five short stories by leading literary voices MON writing in English from around the Commonwealth.

MON MON The series opens with Romesh Gunesekera introducing and MON reading his poignant short story "Renewals", set in Sri MON Lanka. A local driver takes an important visitor to Jaffna MON Public Library and, while waiting, finds that he is also MON curious to explore the building and enters it for the first MON time. MON MON Romesh Gunesekera was born in 1954 and grew up in Sri Lanka MON and the Philippines before moving to England in 1972. His MON acclaimed first novel, Reef, was shortlisted for the MON Guardian Fiction Prize and the Booker Prize.

MON MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 b03bfm1h (Listen) MON Rudresh Mahanthappa's Gamak MON MON On Commonwealth Day, a second chance to hear one of Jazz on MON 3's gig highlights of 2013: Indian-American saxophonist MON Rudresh Mahanthappa in performance with his quartet, Gamak, MON at Ronnie Scott's. MON MON Mahanthappa is second-generation Indian-American and his MON music reflects this heritage: the classical Carnatic MON tradition of southern India is absorbed into a progressive MON jazz language that takes in complex, muscular rhythmic MON patterns as well as hip-hop grooves. In Gamak he casts his MON net even wider, pulling in Americana, go-go and heavy metal MON along the way too. The band's name comes from the south MON Indian term for melodic ornamentation, so it's fitting that MON he's joined in this group by guitarist Dave 'Fuze' MON Fiuczynski, known for his intricate, microtonal playing and MON for whom Mahanthappa wrote much of the music. The band is MON completed by longtime collaborators Francois Moutin (bass) MON and Dan Weiss on drums. MON MON Presenter: Jez Nelson MON Producers: Peggy Sutton and Chris Elcombe.

He spread his wings on a trip that would THU occupy him for the best part of three years. Wherever he THU went he collected impressions, among them the material for THU his so-called "Italian" symphony, which he said was going to THU be, "the jolliest piece I have ever done"! With Donald THU Macleod.

THU THU 14:00 Afternoon on 3 b03x1gyr (Listen) THU Strauss 150 Opera Matinee: Feuersnot THU THU Richard Strauss's second opera - Feuersnot, or "Fire famine" THU is a comedy based on an old bawdy Dutch story. A wizard, THU thwarted in love, casts a spell extinguishing every fire in THU the town until the object of his desire - a young maiden THU from the town - becomes his. THU THU Strauss sets the story in a medieval Munich, his own home THU town, which had reacted so badly to his first operatic THU effort, Guntram, and had always been cool towards Wagner's THU operas. Here the young apprentice wizard Kunrad (Strauss), THU is besotted with Diemut, the Mayor's daughter, and sneaks a THU kiss without her permission. Diemut plans her revenge and THU instigates an assignation with Kunrad which involves him THU climbing into a basket to be winched up to her bedroom. Up THU goes the basket - but it stops only halfway there. Kunrad is THU left suspended, surrounded by the townsfolk and feeling THU humiliated and angry. Kunrad calls on the teachings of his THU master (Wagner) to help him cast a spell to put out every THU fire in Munich. In the spell, Kunrad says that in the town THU of Munich, which he says laughs at Love - no flame will burn THU till he has kindled love with Diemut. The scared townsfolk THU begin to plead with Diemut, but she has already taken THU matters into her own hands and at the end of an extended, THU typically Straussian, orchestral passage all the fires in THU Munich sponateously re-ignite... THU THU Since the disappointment of his first opera Guntram, Strauss THU had written the tone-poem Till Eulenspiegels lustige THU Streiche (Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks), and the spirit THU of mischief and satire that imbue that creep into Feuersnot THU - which features a street-children's choir and several THU direct quotes of leitmotifs from Wagner's operas. THU THU Adding to the sense of place, this performance was given in THU Munich's Prinzregententheater in January this year.

He was born into an FRI exceptional family. His grandfather Moses was a much FRI respected Jewish philosopher, while his father Abraham, a FRI wealthy Jewish banker and his mother Lea, a cultivated, FRI musical woman had the standing and means to provide their FRI four children with every opportunity Berlin society could FRI offer. Only a handful of composers can match Mendelssohn's FRI precocious talent. A child prodigy, famously likened by his FRI friend Robert Schumann to Mozart, Felix's public career FRI began at the age of 9. Between the ages of 11 and 15, he FRI wrote 13 strings symphonies, 5 concertos, 4 operas, chamber FRI music, piano and organ pieces, solo songs and choral pieces. FRI Across the week Donald explores the musical treasures FRI inspired by these formative years.
