Also, we talk to Roy Howat about a new edition of SAT Fauré's songs he's prepared. SAT SAT Daniel Harding SAT SAT Daniel Harding made his professional conducting debut 20 SAT years ago and this summer returns to the BBC Proms to SAT conduct Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 with the Swedish Radio SAT Symphony Orchestra, where he is Music Director. SAT SAT Born in Oxford, Harding began his career assisting Sir Simon SAT Rattle at the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra before SAT going on to work with Claudio Abbado at the Berlin SAT Philharmonic. He has since conducted some of the leading SAT orchestra’s across Europe and the US; including the London SAT Symphony Orchestra, where he is Principal Guest Conductor. SAT SAT Daniel spoke to Tom Service about the difficult half-century SAT he’s going through in his career – the conductor’s long, SAT long equivalent of second album syndrome - not being a SAT young prodigy any more, but not yet being a venerated, SAT venerable master; about the need to stick to what composers SAT say in scores, and about his collaborations with the Swedish SAT Radio Symphony Orchestra and the LSO. SAT SAT Poulenc: ‘Dialogues des Carmelites’ at the Royal Opera House SAT SAT During the French Revolution, in June 1794, sixteen SAT Carmelite nuns from Compiègne were sent to the guillotine SAT and executed after being found guilty of resisting SAT Revolutionary patriotism. In the early-1950s Francis Poulenc SAT saw a play based on this real event, and when it was SAT suggested to him that he turn it into an opera he set to SAT work enthusiastically. It was premiered at La Scala in 1957 SAT and first came to Covent Garden a year later. SAT SAT This new 2014 production of Dialogues des Carmelites at the SAT Royal Opera House features a cast including Sally Matthews, SAT Anna Prohaska and Emma Bell, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. SAT Director Robert Carsen spoke to Music Matters about the SAT origins of the piece, the role that Poulenc’s personal SAT struggle with faith plays, spiritual love and the meaning of SAT martyrdom and death. SAT SAT Francis Poulenc: Articles and Interviews - Book review SAT SAT A collection of interviews and articles written by Francis SAT Poulenc has been translated into English by Roger Nichols, SAT and released now for the first time. The book, which was SAT originally edited and published by Nicholas Southon in SAT French, captures the composer’s lively writing style, as SAT well as his views on music and his contemporaries. SAT SAT Tom Service speaks to musicologists Graham Johnson and SAT Richard Langham Smith about what this new collection tells SAT us about Poulenc the composer, and man of his time. SAT SAT Fauré songs SAT SAT Gabriel Fauré composed over 100 songs between 1861 and 1921, SAT producing the biggest single body of work in the genre by a SAT French composer. The first complete critical edition of SAT these songs is soon to be published, with volume 1 (which SAT includes the first 34 songs, up to op.27 in 1882) due out in SAT the next couple of weeks. SAT SAT Roy Howat and Emily Kilpatrick have spent the last five SAT years researching and editing Fauré’s songs which are now SAT central to any conservatoire repertoire. They found that due SAT to an erratic publication history, with works dispersed SAT across many different publishers and collections, many of SAT the songs had misprints and conflicting markings across SAT different printed editions. As a result some songs will now SAT sound quite different to how we have previously heard them, SAT something which Roy and Emily demonstrate in the studio with SAT soprano Anna Sideris, a post-graduate student from the Royal SAT Academy of Music.

SAT SAT Live from the Barbican Centre, London SAT Presented by Petroc Trelawny SAT SAT An evening of Gallic delights featuring Poulenc's most SAT light-hearted and rarely-performed opera and Fauré's SAT intimate, celestial Requiem. Les Mamelles de Tirésias is a SAT setting of Apollinaire's surreal burlesque, in which ardent SAT feminist Thérèse decides to become a man and fight wars, SAT leaving her husband to repopulate the country by giving SAT birth to 40,049 children in a single day! Poulenc conjures SAT up all the undercurrents in the poet's fierce, absurd and SAT often hilarious lines - sung by a superb cast with the BBC SAT Singers. Canadian soprano Hélène Guilmette takes on the SAT truculent and unpredictable heroine. In complete contrast, SAT the BBC Symphony Chorus join soloists Hélène Guilmette and SAT Jean-François Lapointe (baritone) for Fauré's much-loved SAT Requiem, a tender work of consolation, played at his own SAT funeral.

At ten, she was so SUN scared of performing that she howled on stage when the SUN applause started and had to be rescued by her parents. She SUN also talks about how as a student she began going to hear SUN English choral music, but she had an ulterior motive: she SUN fancied one of her fellow-students, a classical baritone, so SUN she went to see him every time she could. It worked, they're SUN now married; and she fell in love with choral composers like SUN Eric Whitacre at the same time. And Laura reveals how at SUN first she didn't quite at appreciate her big break from SUN producer Steve Brown (she was too busy eating a banana). SUN SUN Following her appearance at this summer's Urban Prom, Laura SUN Mvula explains why she doesn't believe in separating music SUN into genres and why she remains a passionate listener to - SUN and advocate for - classical music. SUN SUN In this programme she reveals how she still finds SUN inspiration in classical composers for her own work. She SUN plays a piece of Debussy and talks about how it inspired one SUN of her own songs, 'Make Me Lovely'; she also chooses Elgar, SUN Michael Tippett, William Walton, and 'Lush and Bluesy', a SUN string piece by her teacher at the Conservatoire, Joe SUN Cutler. Other musical choices include William Walton, Nina SUN Simone and Miles Davis.

SUN SUN 17:30 Words and Music b043wpvb (Listen) SUN Good Intentions SUN SUN Intent is a great driver for drama. The better the intent SUN the more agonising the tragedy when it all goes wrong and, SUN in equal part, the more hilarious the comedy as chaos SUN unfolds in front of a knowing audience. And there are SUN several different varieties of good intention; the SUN ambitious, the optimistic, the clear sighted, the nervous SUN and the horribly mistaken. SUN Today's Words and Music seeks, with the best of intentions, SUN to illustrate just a few of them and to discover where they SUN might lead, beginning with a well-intentioned trip to the SUN underworld where Orpheus attempts to win back his wife. SUN SUN Eve's intentions appear laudable enough as Milton has her SUN contemplate sampling 'the fruit of that forbidden tree', and SUN its hard to blame Shakespeare's Juliet and Friar Lawrence SUN for hatching a plot that they believe will ensure a happy SUN ending all round. SUN SUN In the 100th anniversary year of the Great War there's a SUN look back to the now agonising intentions of the Music Hall SUN Recruitment songs with the results reflected with SUN understated eloquence by Sarojini Naidu's 'Gift of India.' SUN SUN And there are less direct approaches. Was Midas a greedy SUN tyrant or just another, very modern, figure to fall under SUN the sway of the apparent virtue of economic need? Carol Ann SUN Duffy has Mrs Midas watch and judge the results. And Robert SUN Burns, doing what any farmer should be doing at harvest SUN time, finds his innocent intentions are pretty grim news for SUN the mouse whose home he unwittingly exposes. SUN And then there's the sheer joy resulting from the operatic SUN activities of a cleaning lady in Wexford, shared by the late SUN Bernard Levin, and the Flanders and Swann hymn to eternal SUN self-generating good works in 'The Gasman Cometh'.

Already an elegant musical craftsman when he fled SUN his communist homeland in 1956, he flourished amid the brave SUN new world of musical possibilities that had opened up after SUN the trauma of the Second World War. SUN SUN Ligeti's diminutive figure contained many contradictions - SUN the intellectual and the sensual, the systematic and the SUN anarchic - and in 'Clocks and Clouds' we explore the man, SUN his personal history as a Jew in Nazi- and then SUN Soviet-occupied Hungary, his music and his legacy. SUN SUN A recording of Ligeti himself from 1997, much of which has SUN never been broadcast, is interwoven with new interviews from SUN Ligeti's son Lukas, a New York-based composer and SUN percussionist; Louise Duchesneau, the composer's assistant SUN for over twenty years; American musical analyst Amy Bauer; SUN British composer Christopher Fox and the Dublin-based SUN academic Wolfgang Marx.

This production was recorded in front SUN of an audience at Theatre Royal Stratford East, the venue SUN that 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. McLosky will stop at nothing - SUN not even murder. SUN SUN Dion Boucicault's play contains all the elements of great SUN melodrama - doomed love, murder, corruption, and live SUN musical accompaniment throughout.

Edward Gardner conducts a cast led by Roland MON Wood as Oedipus. MON MON "Familes are terrifying" says librettist Frank McGuinness MON about Sophocles' Theban plays, Julian Anderson adds "It's MON what happens when you mingle personal and political: they MON don't mix". In this version of the Greek dramas, the three MON individual plays are rendered down to one Act each to create MON a taught retelling of the story of Oedipus's journey from MON proud King of Thebes to blind, wandering exile. MON MON In Oedipus the King Thebes is cursed with disease and MON pestilence and the Delphic Oracle proclaims that to cure MON itself the city must drive out the man who killed the old MON king. Roland Wood's Oedipus vows to seek out the killer and MON in doing so sets a chain of events that leads to the MON knowledge that he killed his father, married Jocasta - his MON mother - and fathered three children/siblings. Jocasta kills MON herself and Oedipus is driven from Thebes. MON MON Anderson and McGuinness reverse the usual order of the MON second and third plays so that the dark heart of the opera MON is Antigone - set in a Fascistic state in Pierre Audi's MON production complete with brutalist decor and a chorus of MON black-shirts. Oedipus is dead, as are his two sons who have MON killed each other in a fraternal fight to reclaim the city MON from their mother's brother Creon who now rules. Only his MON daughter, Antigone, survives and is engaged to Creon's son MON but her disobedience in performing funeral rites for one of MON her dead brothers leads to tragedy and her own death. MON MON The opera spools back time for the final part - Oedipus at MON Colonus. Set in a post-apocalyptic winter, Oedipus and MON Antigone stumble to Colonus, a sacred place. He encounters MON his son Polynices who he curses, Creon arrives with soldiers MON to carry off Antigone but she is saved by the intervention MON of Theseus, King of Colonus. Oedipus says goodbye to his MON daughter and departs the world, while Antigone is left alone MON to mourn her father.

MON MON 22:45 The Essay b01r5np8 (Listen) MON Explaining the Explicit, Julian Barnes MON MON Five different writers consider the reasons why and the MON challenges of writing about sex. In episode one, Julian MON Barnes asks 'Is writing about sex the same as writing about MON any other human activity - say, gardening or cricket?' and MON as a novelist 'what words do you use and what effect are you MON trying to have?' MON MON In little more than a few decades, perhaps a generation or MON two, western culture has arguably progressed from a largely MON repressed and circumspect attitude to portraying the sins MON and pleasures of the flesh to an altogether more casual and MON certainly visually more permissive approach. How have MON writers and readers, adjusted to these changes and what are MON authors trying to say when they write about sex? Is the MON written word trailing in the wake of film, tv and video or MON have these media liberated authors from a more timid, and MON possibly less authentic way of writing? MON MON These essays offer a chance to step back and reflect on some MON of the subtler arguments that can get lost amidst a sea of MON pneumatic imagery. Somewhere between the conventions of MON shock, titillation and comedy lie a whole range of other MON ideas that can be explored when writing about sex. MON MON First broadcast in March 2013. MON MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 b043w9xz (Listen) MON Thomas Stronen MON MON Norwegian drummer Thomas Strønen presents his new project MON Time Is a Blind Guide in concert at the 2014 Cheltenham Jazz MON Festival. MON MON Bringing together talent from both sides of the North Sea, MON including pianist Kit Downes, Strønen's sextet incorporates MON string and percussion mini-ensembles within it. It's a MON setting that gives the leader the opportunity to blend his MON passions for classical music and jazz through rich and MON melodic writing that also references Nordic folk, most MON obviously through the Hardanger fiddle of Nils Økland. MON Subtle string textures are offset by upbeat grooves and a MON strong sense of rhythmic interplay, in a performance MON featuring new material written especially for the festival.

TUE TUE In little more than a few decades, perhaps a generation or TUE two, western culture has arguably progressed from a largely TUE repressed and circumspect attitude to portraying the sins TUE and pleasures of the flesh to an altogether more casual and TUE certainly visually more permissive approach. How have TUE writers and readers, adjusted to these changes and what are TUE authors trying to say when they write about sex? Is the TUE written word trailing in the wake of film, tv and video or TUE have these media liberated authors from a more timid, and TUE possibly less authentic way of writing? TUE TUE These essays offer a chance to step back and reflect on some TUE of the subtler arguments that can get lost amidst a sea of TUE pneumatic imagery. Somewhere between the conventions of TUE shock, titillation and comedy lie a whole range of other TUE ideas that can be explored when writing about sex. TUE TUE First broadcast in March 2013.

THU THU 7.55 THU Mahler: Symphony No.4 THU THU Ailish Tynan (soprano) THU BBC National Orchestra of Wales THU Jac van Steen THU THU Messiaen's Christian faith was always at the heart of his THU musical output. L'Ascension is one of his earlist orchestral THU works (1933), a set of four contrasting meditations each THU taking a religious text as a starting point. In turn, THU Messiaen expresses his Catholicism in mystical contemplation THU and ecstatic praise. Mahler described his Fourth Symphony as THU "a work for children and those who will become children". THU This song-like work culminates in a representation of a THU child's view of heaven for soprano, sung here by Ailish THU Tynan.

She looks back on her own THU reading and writing of poetry and reflects on how the poet THU as the lyric 'I' can be both more exposed and more THU uninhibited when exploring her own sexuality. THU THU In little more than a few decades, perhaps a generation or THU two, western culture has arguably progressed from a largely THU repressed and circumspect attitude to portraying the sins THU and pleasures of the flesh to an altogether more casual and THU certainly visually more permissive approach. How have THU writers and readers, adjusted to these changes and what are THU authors trying to say when they write about sex? Is the THU written word trailing in the wake of film, tv and video or THU have these media liberated authors from a more timid, and THU possibly less authentic way of writing? THU THU These essays offer a chance to step back and reflect on some THU of the subtler arguments that can get lost amidst a sea of THU pneumatic imagery. Somewhere between the conventions of THU shock, titillation and comedy lie a whole range of other THU ideas that can be explored when writing about sex. THU THU First broadcast in March 2013. THU THU 23:00 Late Junction b0449lhr (Listen) THU Singer-songwriter and new member of the Late Junction THU presenter team, Mara Carlyle announces more exclusive THU details of the Late Junction line-up at the Latitude THU Festival in July.
