The violinist Irvine Arditti talks to Tom about the SAT influence the LaSalles had on his quartet - and looks back SAT on forty years of The Ardittis. Tom also discusses the SAT career of the celebrated Hungarian cellist Miklos Perenyi. SAT Plus - as part of Radio 3's Eighteenth Century Season - Tom SAT looks at the brief but important time that Christoph SAT Willibald Gluck spent in one of London's theatres. SAT SAT THE ARDITTI QUARTET AT 40 SAT SAT This year marks the fortieth anniversary of the founding of SAT the Arditti Quartet. Hundreds of string quartets and other SAT chamber works have been written for the ensemble over the SAT past four decades, many leaving a permanent mark on the 20th SAT and 21st century repertoire, giving these musicians a firm SAT place in musical history. Tom Service meets the founder and SAT first violinist Irvine Arditti to discuss the group’s work, SAT which has included world premieres of pieces by composers SAT from Ades to Xenakis. SAT SAT THE LASALLE QUARTET SAT SAT The LaSalle Quartet was the premiere exponent of “the new SAT music” for string quartet. Founded in 1946, at the Julliard SAT School in New York, it became famous for its performances of SAT works by the Second Viennese School and its commissioning of SAT many new pieces by contemporary post-war composers. As a SAT result the quartets by Lutoslawski, Ligeti and Nono have SAT since entered the standard repertoire. The LaSalles were SAT also incisive interpreters of the classical quartet SAT repertoire and had an impressive record of teaching other SAT quartets including the Alban Berg, Brahms, Artis and Vogler SAT . Its founder and first violinist Walter Levin, is himself a SAT highly influential teacher whose students included the SAT conductor James Levine and the violinist Christian Tetzlaff. SAT Tom talks to Robert Spruytenburg, the author of a new book SAT on the Las Salle Quartet which is based on interviews with SAT Walter Levin, conducted over a five year period. SAT SAT THE 18th CENTURY SEASON: GLUCK IN LONDON SAT SAT In 1745 the German composer Christoph Willibald Gluck SAT accepted an invitation to become house composer at London's SAT King's Theatre. However, fate wasn’t on his side as the SAT Jacobite Rebellion caused much panic in London and for most SAT of the year the King's Theatre was closed. The two operas SAT that Gluck wrote for London - La caduta de'giganti and SAT Artamene - were eventually performed in 1746 and borrowed SAT much from his earlier works, a method that was to re-occur SAT throughout his career. Tom visits the site of the King’s SAT Theatre (which is now occupied by Her Majesty’s Theatre in SAT London’s Haymarket) to find out more about Gluck’s time in SAT London from the musicologist Patricia Howard. There’s also SAT an exclusive performance of an aria from Artamene by the SAT counter-tenor Tim Morgan and harpsichordist Stephen Devine. SAT (Most certainly the first time it’s ever been recorded!) SAT SAT MIKLOS PEREYNI SAT SAT Miklos Perenyi is recognized as one of the great cellists of SAT his generation. Born in Budapest in 1948, he began cello SAT lessons at the age of five, gave his first concert at the SAT age of nine and by 1963 had become a prize-winner at the SAT International Pablo Casals Cello Competition in Budapest. SAT Prior to Perenyi performing with his good friend Andras SAT Schiff in London on Tuesday, Tom talks to the cellist about SAT his career and his personal and professional relationships SAT with some of the most influential 20th century composers SAT including Ligeti, Kurtag and Kodaly.

From the girls of SAT Vivaldi's "Hospital" of the Pietà in Venice to the prime SAT donne of the London stage; from composers such as Elisabeth SAT Jacquet de la Guerre and Theresia von Paradis to the SAT virtuoso pianists, harpists and glass harmonica players who SAT graced the age. SAT SAT 16:00 Sound of Cinema b0414dkr (Listen) SAT Comic Strip Heroes SAT SAT Matthew Sweet introduces film music for superheroes SAT including the new score for The Amazing Spiderman 2 by Hans SAT Zimmer and the Classic Score of the Week - John Williams's SAT Superman. SAT SAT While superheroes have been with us since the 1930s, and SAT they have made occassional forays into movies from that SAT time, it was really the arrival of Superman in 1978 that SAT fired the public's imgaination with the cinematic superhero SAT - helped, in no small way, by John Williams' classic score. SAT Matthew considers some of the succesful "superhero" SAT soundtracks that have emerged in the past 35 years, SAT including the music for Batman; The X-Men and Spiderman. SAT SAT #soundofcinema.

SUN Casting a sceptical eye over centuries of bardolatry, SUN Ravenhill calls for a new approach to the plays. SUN SUN Exploring the intellectual tradition that has seen important SUN figures from Voltaire to Tolstoy to Wittgenstein challenge SUN Shakespeare's supremacy, Ravenhill searches for today's SUN dissenting voices. Tracing the transformation of a working SUN playwright into a national poet, global brand and secular SUN god, Ravenhill asks if it's still possible to enjoy SUN Shakespeare without being overwhelmed by the cultural and SUN commercial baggage of 'brand Shakespeare'. SUN SUN Meeting Royal Shakespeare Company Artistic Director Gregory SUN Doran, theatre director Phyllida Lloyd and actors Simon SUN Russell Beale and Fiona Shaw, Ravenhill explores what SUN Shakespeare's plays mean to theatre-makers today and asks if SUN Shakespeare is a problem for a contemporary theatre which SUN seeks to give an equal representation of women's experience SUN of the world. SUN SUN Joining RSC actors in a primary school for a performance of SUN Taming Of The Shrew, Ravenhill wonders if a play of such SUN dark and complex sexual politics is really suitable material SUN for ten-year-olds. SUN SUN Scholar Ania Loomba describes India's changing relationship SUN with Shakespeare, while Professor Gary Taylor talks about SUN the ambivalence of large parts of America toward the Bard. SUN SUN Other interviewees include: playwrights Edward Bond and SUN Howard Barker, RSC Deputy Artistic Director Erica Whyman, SUN Shakespeare academics Ewan Fernie, Dr Martin Wiggins, SUN Michael Dobson and Dr Erin Sullivan of the University of SUN Birmingham Shakespeare Institute. SUN SUN With readings by Amanda Drew and Paul Ritter. SUN SUN Producer: Matt Willis SUN SUN Part of Radio 3's celebration of the 450th anniversary of SUN Shakespeare's birth.

SUN SUN Lovers, politicians, superstars. Antony and Cleopatra is SUN Shakespeare's late and epic tragedy of mature love and the SUN catastrophic fall from grace and power that it brings about. SUN Irresistibly drawn together, the couple are surrounded by SUN friends, enemies, admirers and critics, none of who remain SUN unscathed by the folly and heartbreak of this magnificent SUN pair. As empires clash around them, their destiny seems SUN inevitable: to love each other till death and even beyond. SUN SUN This new production of Antony and Cleopatra marks the return SUN of Kenneth Branagh and Alex Kingston's Shakespearean SUN partnership, last seen in their sold-out Macbeth at the SUN Manchester International Festival in 2013. SUN SUN A BBC Cymru Wales production for BBC Radio 3 SUN SUN Part of Radio 3's celebration of the 450th anniversary of SUN Shakespeare's birth.

MON George is a keen opera-goer so Handel, eager to please, MON throws himself with gusto into London's nascent operatic MON scene.

MON MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 b0414z9c (Listen) MON Elliott Sharp: Foliage MON MON New York composer and guitarist Elliott Sharp appears in a MON rare UK performance, playing his piece Foliage at the Vortex MON in London. MON MON A key component in the downtown experimental scene for over MON 30 years, Sharp has spanned orchestral music and techno, no MON wave rock and film scores. For Foliage however, it's a MON complex relationship with graphic scores and visuals that MON lies at the heart of the music. Using graphic software, the MON composer manipulates traditional musical notation and images MON by means of filtering, stretching and layering - paralleling MON similar methods that can be used to affect sounds in a MON studio.

WED WED Today, George I dies, unexpectedly and unconventionally - WED 'of a surfeit of watermelons' is the official word. One of WED his last constitutional acts was to sign Handel's WED naturalization papers, and now that the composer was a true WED Brit there was no bar to his composing the music for the new WED king's coronation. By all accounts the performances on the WED day were chaotic, but the scale and magnificence of the WED music made a lasting impression on those present, and has WED set the tone for coronations to this day. Handel's deeply WED competitive leading operatic ladies, Francesca Cuzzoni and WED Faustina Bordoni, set very much the wrong tone when they WED scrapped in front of Princess - soon to be Queen - Caroline; WED the King's Theatre, Haymarket, descended into chaos during a WED performance of Bononcini's opera Astianatte, as the two WED prima donnas screamed abuse at each other. Happily, no such WED excitements marred the première of Handel's new one, WED Riccardo Primo, an opera about Richard the Lionheart - the WED perfect subject-matter to mark the new king's accession.

Their music WED is more richly textured, harmonic and accessible than their WED usual 'Minimalist' label implies. Pärt's "These Words", WED Glass's Cello Concerto No.2 and Adams's "Harmonielehre" are WED brought to life with consummate skill and passion by the WED Basel Symphony Orchestra, one of Europe's leading symphony WED orchestras, brilliantly conducted by Dennis Russell Davies, WED an acknowledged champion of modern classical music. WED WED Live from Warwick Arts Centre WED Presented by Tom Redmond WED WED Arvo Pärt: These Words WED Philip Glass: Cello Concerto No.2 WED WED Basel Symphony Orchestra WED Matt Haimovitz (cello) WED Dennis Russell Davies (conductor) WED WED "These Words" is as haunting and ethereal as the timeless WED Gregorian chants that have inspired much of Pärt's work. WED Resonant and meditative, Glass's recently premiered Cello WED Concerto No.2 is a condensation of his score for Godfrey WED Reggio's critically acclaimed 2002 film "Naqoyqatsi". WED WED Requiring colossal orchestral resources, Adams's WED "Harmonielehre" is a unique, mesmerising, three-movement WED work that marries the developmental techniques of Minimalism WED with the harmonic and expressive world of fin de siècle late WED Romanticism, to breathtaking effect. "You're standing on the WED Golden Gate Bridge when a huge supertanker suddenly rears up WED from the water and shoots into the air like a rocket. WED Wagner's "Parsifal" plays softly, but just keeps turning WED into Mahler; and against a starry sky, a medieval mystic WED chatters away to a Californian baby." Those are the visions WED that inspired John Adams's "Harmonielehre". WED WED 20:20 Twenty Minutes b03brxkb (Listen) WED Sound and Fury WED WED How do sound designers use soundscapes and sound effects to WED manipulate excitement and emotion in the cinema audience? WED WED Trevor Cox, Professor of Acoustic Engineering, visits WED Pinewood studios to meet Glenn Freemantle, who subsequently WED won an Oscar for his work on Gravity. Freemantle describes WED the extraordinary lengths he went to in order to re-create WED the soundscape of a remote desert canyon in the 2010 film WED 127 Hours, so that the cinema audience hears exactly what WED the climber trapped under a rock for 127 hours hears as he WED tries to escape. And he shows how to build up the sound in a WED creepy scene to make the audience feel uneasy. WED WED Trevor Cox also learns how the sound of a futuristic motor WED bike is created in the latest Judge Dredd film - how does a WED sound designer create a sound that is incredibly powerful WED but also believable? WED WED And there's a revealing trip to a screening room in central WED London to experience the very latest technology in the world WED of cinematic surround sound.

WED WED In this third programme, broadcast to mark the 450th WED anniversary of the Bard's birth, Dominic Dromgoole, artistic WED director of The Globe, offers praise to 'William Shakespeare WED the Midlander', and argues that the vision of world WED literature's most celebrated son was shaped as much by his WED provincial Stratford upbringing as by his later time in WED London, and that the distinctive 'mellow shapes of the WED Midlands' form the backdrop to the universal themes of his WED writing.

THU THU Today, Handel bids a musical farewell to his friend and THU devoted supporter Queen Caroline, dead within ten years of THU her coronation. Had she survived longer, she would doubtless THU have joined the long list of royal subscribers to her THU favourite composer's Concerti Grossi, published in 1739. THU Four years on, her husband George II became the last British THU monarch to lead his troops into battle - at Dettingen, THU south-east of Frankfurt, where his makeshift army defeated THU the French. Handel seems to have mistaken this minor THU skirmish for a major victory, and decided to mark it with a THU grand Te Deum. He conceived it for the enormous spaces of St THU Paul's Cathedral, but in the event it was performed in the THU much more intimate surroundings of the Chapel Royal - a THU musical quart in an architectural pint pot.

FRI FRI Today, explosions both warlike and peaceful. On the 19th of FRI August 1745, Bonnie Prince Charlie pitched up on the coast FRI of Scotland for one last crack at toppling the house of FRI Hanover - thereby setting in train a chain of events that's FRI become known to history as the Jacobite Rising of '45. FRI Charles and his Highlanders made it as far south as Derby FRI before being turned back and eventually routed at the Battle FRI of Culloden. In response, Handel went into patriotic FRI overdrive; his oratorio Judas Maccabaeus celebrates the hero FRI of the hour, Prince William, Duke of Cumberland. With the FRI Jacobites quelled, British troops could be redeployed on the FRI Continent in the continuing conflict over the Austrian FRI Succession. Its resolution in the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle FRI gave Handel another opportunity for sonic celebration: his FRI Music for the Royal Fireworks.

FRI FRI The violin concerto in A major was the last of 5 concertos FRI that Mozart wrote for the instrument in 1775, its 'Turkish' FRI nickname coming from a minor-key section of music in the FRI last movement. Beethoven wrote the Overture to Goethe's FRI historical drama Egmont 'purely out of love for the poet'. FRI It was written a year after Napoleon's troops had invaded FRI Vienna and of the nine musical excerpts Beethoven wrote for FRI the play, this dramatic Overture remains the most well FRI known. Four years later, Beethoven completed his Fourth FRI Symphony, full of light and shade, between the giants of his FRI Third and Fifth symphonies.

FRI FRI 22:45 The Essay b04154qc (Listen) FRI In Praise of the Midlands, Learning to Be a Midlander FRI FRI We tend to think of England in terms of the binary FRI opposition between the rebel North and establishment South, FRI with the result that we often forget about the bit of the FRI country sandwiched in between - the Midlands. This week five FRI Essayists shed light on the distinctive history and culture FRI of England's squeezed middle. FRI FRI In this fifth and final programme in the series, writer and FRI performer Katherine Jakeways reflects on her anonymous FRI Northamptonshire upbringing, her love of that other great FRI (and self-styled) 'Poet of the Midlands' - not Shakespeare FRI but Adrian Mole - and explains how, with the discovery of FRI Richard III's bones under a car park in Leicester and the FRI Staffordshire Hoard in Hammerwich, she finally found a sense FRI of regional belonging and learned to be a proud Midlander. FRI FRI 23:00 World on 3 b04157z4 (Listen) FRI The Gloaming in Session, Commonwealth Connections 12 FRI FRI Mary Ann Kennedy with a session from Irish band The FRI Gloaming, news of the Songlines Awards, and Commonwealth FRI Connections continues with music from Grenada and Malawi. FRI FRI Feature: Malawi FRI In a music centre at the heart of Malawi's capital Lilongwe, FRI 3 groups converge to demonstrate some of this country's rich FRI music and culture. Waliko Makhala, respected musicologist FRI and pioneer at Malawi Broadcasting Corporation, introduces FRI the Kang'oma Cultural Troupe. Teacher Nkathama Chavamagwede FRI and singer Avelyn White play township jive and songs of FRI social comment. Nyandoro & The Black Souls fill a small FRI teaching room with the sounds of unashamedly traditional FRI songs, and we hear how this music defines Malawi's heritage. FRI FRI Heritage Track: Grenada FRI Writer Jacob Ross was short-listed for the 2009 Commonwealth FRI Writers' Prize and in 2011 was awarded Grenada's highest FRI award for his contribution to literature. His choice of FRI Heritage Track- the 1960s calypso Dan is the Man in the Van FRI by The Mighty Sparrow- reminds him of growing up in Grenada FRI and the schooling he received in what was then a British FRI colony, full of nonsensical nursery rhymes and images of FRI seasons unknown in the Caribbean. He paints a picture of FRI Grenadians as being both laid-back and determined in their FRI attitude to life, and nurturing high hopes as their star FRI sprinter, Kirani James, heads for Glasgow this summer. FRI FRI Session: The Gloaming FRI Since breaking into the music scene in Ireland in 2011 The FRI Gloaming has been critically acclaimed for their innovative FRI approach, mixing traditional Irish folk roots with the New FRI York contemporary music scene. Irish and American musicians FRI join forces in this five-piece ensemble to produce a fresh FRI mix moving 'the music of Ireland in captivating new FRI directions', according to The New Yorker Magazine. After FRI concerts in London, Amsterdam, Paris and New York last year, FRI The Gloaming showcase some of their latest work in an FRI exclusive session in our studio. FRI
