SAT 12:15 Music Feature (b00cx966)
Franz Liszt was the most celebrated performer of his day, a phenomenal virtuoso pianist. He was a media-darling who manipulated the press to enhance his reputation, and was adored by his public, the ladies in particular.

Pianist David Owen Norris follows Liszt on his record-breaking concert tours, from Lisbon to Constantinople, Gibraltar to St Petersburg, where he gave a staggering 1,000 concerts over nine years.

With contributions from historian Donald Sassoon, Rossana Dalmonte from the Liszt Institute in Bologna, and writer Gillen Wood. Plus readings of Liszt's letters by Jamie Glover and reviews of the day by John Sessions.


SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00d6tf6)
Development of the Bassoon

Lucie Skeaping presents a programme which looks at the development of the Baroque bassoon, from its forerunner - the curtel, dulcian or bajon. With the help of the historian and author Maggie Kilbey and The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's Andrew Watts, they chart the spread and popularity of the instrument throughout Europe and the New World, for use in church music and in chamber ensembles. The music is a very diverse selection, including works by Vivaldi, Schütz, Padilla, Salazar, Bertoli, Marini, Handel and Telemann.

First broadcast in August 2008.

SAT 16:00 Jazz Line-Up (b00d6tfb)
A Tribute to Allan Ganley

Claire Martin presents a tribute to Allan Ganley, one of the UK's most influential drummers, who died in March 2008. In a concert given at the BBC's Maida Vale studios in West London, saxophonist Andy Panayi directs an all-star band of musicians - who regularly worked with Allan both in studio and on tour - performing a selection of his arrangements and compositions.

Ganley came into professional music as the era of the dance band faded away and Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie were heralding the arrival of modern jazz. In autumn 1953, he began an association with John Dankworth that was to last for the rest of his life, playing in the very first gigs of the famous clarinetist and alto-sax player's Big Band. He also played in Kenny Baker's Dozen, perhaps the most popular broadcasting jazz group ever, and co-led his own band, the New Jazz Group, with pianist Derek Smith.

Featuring choral and instrumental music by Chinese emigre composers.

Chen Yi was born in China but now lives in America, and her settings take dialect folksongs from various regions of China, the first a nocturnal lovesong, the second describing gentle sounds at dawn in spring.

Raymond Yiu was born in Hong Kong and lives in the UK, and his 'Calendar of tolerable inventions from around the world' for wind quintet is a witty look at three western inventions: the cuckoo clock, invisible ink and the button.

SUN 23:15 Words and Music (b00d6wrr)
The Glory of the Garden

‘The Glory of the Garden’

Gardens encapsulate the fundamentals of human existence: birth, reproduction death. The eternal process of renewal we see in a garden offers a wealth of material to poets and composers alike. This Words and Music traces some of the key ways that poets and musicians have been inspired by gardens, opening with Genesis Chapter two alongside the triumphal first chords of Haydn’s oratorio The Creation. Milton’s opulent portrayal of Eden in Paradise Lost offers a luxuriant vision of man’s first garden, but beneath the glittering vistas lies the threat of man’s impending fall. Joni Mitchell’s call to ‘get ourselves back to the garden’ in Woodstock signals a desire to return to our garden state which characterised the mood of her times, and echoes on into the present.
The metaphysics in their typically cerebral way, saw the garden as an ideal metaphysical puzzle, full of rich conceits to aid their exploration of man’s relationship with God. George Herbert in ‘The Flower’ takes the microcosmic world of the flower and uses it to interrogate man’s endless striving upwards to god, and the miracle of god’s ability to strike down and raise up.
But gardens have a dark side – they are the scene of death and mysterious, shadowy renewal as well as a place of seduction and subversion. The extract we hear from the Song of Solomon revels in the sensual, lushness of the garden, while Tennyson’s desperate plea for Maud to ‘come into the garden’ reveals an obsessive sexual pull which goes beyond the sedate Victorian fascination with posies and gardens. In Robert Lowell’s bleak poem The Public Garden we see the desolation of a failed relationship reflected in the autumnal dryness of a deserted public space, mirrored by Messiaen’s ghostly Jardin du sommeil d’amour from the Turangalila Symphony.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b007mdfn)
Gabriel Faure

Episode 1

By the time of his death in 1924, Gabriel Fauré was venerated as the grand old man of French music. Yet today, much of his output is neglected, and he plays ‘second fiddle’ to his better-known contemporaries, Debussy and Ravel. This week, Donald Macleod explores Fauré’s songs and chamber music, and discovers some forgotten gems along the way. Today’s programme includes the 1st Violin Sonata, which started Fauré on the road to recognition, and landed him an important publishing contract – on a zero-percent royalty!

Proms Chamber Concerts

PCM7 - Vaughan Williams, Coleridge-Taylor

From Cadogan Hall, London. Presented by Christopher Cook.

The Proms's 2008 commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Ralph Vaughan Williams's death continues as celebrated British tenor Mark Padmore joins the Nash Ensemble for a performance of On Wenlock Edge - six settings of words by AE Housman exploring themes of hope and loss in the Romantic backdrop of a Shropshire landscape.

Plus a rare chance to hear a work by one of Vaughan Williams's fellow students at the Royal College of Music - Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's masterly Clarinet Quintet, written in response to a challenge from his teacher Charles Stanford to write a work that would match up to Brahms's famous Quintet without revealing that composer's influence.

Presented by Penny Gore

BBC Proms 2008

The young star players of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain are conducted by the youngest man ever to be appointed Musical Director of the Royal Opera, Antonio Pappano. There is an American theme to their programme, launched by Frenchman Edgard Varese's hymn to the New World where he went to live, followed by the more reluctant US resident Rachmaninov's last numbered piano concerto, written mainly in New York.

The concert ends with Aaron Copland's all-American Third Symphony, featuring his famous Fanfare for the Common Man.

MON 22:00 BBC Proms (b00d6xsg)
2008

Prom 63: Motets, chansons ragas, Messiaen

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Martin Handley.

A performance of Messiaen's Cinq rechants - a work which draws its inspiration from a mixture of Sanskrit texts, traditional Indian rhythms, Renaissance polyphony and ancient tales and mythology, creating a sensual, vocally virtuosic and highly charged synthesis of styles and language.

The opening sequence likewise weaves together music of the East and West. Nishat Khan joins the BBC Singers in a short sequence of French Renaissance motets and chansons - exploring the season of spring and the erotic imagery associated with it - woven around improvised classical Indian ragas, echoing the mood of Messiaen.

And Nishat Khan concludes the programme with a selection of night ragas, chosen according to the mood of the occasion.

Motets and chansons by Claudin de Sermisy, Jean Richafort, Antoine Brumel and Claude Le Jeune, interspersed with Indian ragas

MON 23:30 World on 3 (b00d6xsj)
Charlie Gillett

DJ Charlie Gillett with tracks from around the world including Orchestra Baobab recorded on the Radio 3 Stage at this year's WOMAD festival. Plus a visit to the World on 3 studio by Massukos from northern Mozambique.

Massukos are superstars in their home country of Mozambique. Their debut album 'Kuimba kwa Massuko' sold huge quantities, was voted best album in 2002 and won a gold disc in 2003. Several more awards followed and Massukos are now considered Mozambique's most successful band.
But they also use their high profile to initiate social change. Throughout their career they have been undertaking humanitarian work and have been promoting awareness about the lack of life's basic necessities in their own country. In 2004 for instance, they appeared at the Third World Water Forum in Japan and toured Mozambique with the UK band Empty Boat as part of an awareness-raising event organized by Poo Productions in association with WaterAid UK. Massukos' leader, Feliciano dos Santos, who is known by his many fans as "the Elton John of Mozambique", is also the director and founder of the NGO Estamos (a WaterAid partner) who are involved with the installation of latrines and clean water points, as well as hygiene and HIV/AIDS education. Massukos regularly travel for miles to remote villages to deliver life-saving messages about hygiene, sanitation and HIV/AIDS.

Massukos' music preserves the traditional rhythms of Niassa province in northern Mozambique, one of the poorest parts of Africa, that were all but extinct after 17 years of civil war. In fact Massukos' first live public performance in 1994 coincided with the start of the peace process.

Prom 64 - Part 1

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Martin Handley.

The celebrated Berlin Philharmonic, in the first of two Proms with principal conductor Simon Rattle, perform a programme of works based on the tragic story of the forbidden love between the Cornish knight Tristan and the Irish princess Isolde. The concert begins with Wagner's own concert version of the overture to his great opera of love and death combined with the final aria of his heroine.

TUE 19:50 Twenty Minutes (b00d6z5s)
The Power of the Ondes

Thomas Bloch explores the little-known ondes martenot, an instrument that features in Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony in the second part of this evening's Prom. A keyboard-like instrument with a distinctive sound, it was first built in the 1920s in France and was used by classical composers such as Messiaen and Boulez. Since its creation, other composers from the worlds of film music and pop have also written for it.

A distinguished player of the ondes himself, Thomas talks to multi-instrumentalist and ex-Pogues player David Coulter about its history, its range and power and why it has been an inspiration to composers from many different musical fields.

Colombia - An End to Solitude?

Forty years ago, the novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote of the afflictions of Colombia, his country of birth. Now a new generation of Colombian writers are trying to find a way out of that 'solitude' in order to describe the complex, violent but exuberant reality they live in.

Novelist Juan Gabriel Vasquez takes us with him to the Colombian capital Bogota to share the elements of 21st century urban life in South America that have inspired his work.

Under the Influence

Episode 1

Anne Stevenson is now in her 70s and for all her writing life, TS Eliot has been a constant presence. It is not his religious thinking, nor his striking imagery that influenced her, but rather the rhythms of Eliot's verse.


TUE 23:15 Late Junction (b00d6z5z)
Robert Sandall presents a selection of maverick songwriters, including Tom Waits, Laurie Anderson, Joan As Policewoman, and new albums by Tricky and Randy Newman. Newman's Harps And Angels is only his fourth album in twenty years, and this songwriter best known for his Hollywood soundtrack work is on fine mordant form here, with this collection of wry observations about life, politics and death. By contrast, Tricky is a Bristolian who came to fame as a leading light of that city's "trip-hop" scene in the 1990s, along with Portishead. In recent years his records have not gained much limelight, but his new album Knowle West Kid sees him revisiting his Bristolian roots and is an impressive return to form.

Proms Literary Festival: Russian literature and current affairs

Susan Hitch is joined by the BBC's Diplomatic Correspondent Bridget Kendall to discuss how classic and contemporary Russian literature relates to issues and themes in the country's current affairs, focusing on what the writer Lermontov has to tell us about what changes and what remains the same in Russian life and Russian attitudes.

A former BBC Moscow Correspondent, Bridget kept abreast not merely of the political situation in Russia but also the literary scene. She was an enthusiastic reader of the Russian classics and also has an enthusiasm for the more feisty contemporary literature, dipping briefly into the lighter end of the market with a very Russian take on chick lit.

Exploring the theme of disappearance, Peruvian-American author Daniel Alarcon journeys deep into the Andes, to Corongo. Now known as the 'Padlocked Town', Corongo is a semi-deserted place which residents left as they searched for a more stable and prosperous future in the capital city.

Daniel follows their journey to Lima, finding out how Andean culture has transformed the identity of the sprawling city over the past 30 years. He also discovers how a major earthquake in 1970 followed by years of political violence has forced the disappearance of many similar Andean towns and villages.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b007mhmx)
Gabriel Faure

Beginnings

Today, there’s bad news as Fauré’s hearing problems finally force him to quit his post at the Paris Conservatoire, but good news when he’s fêted at a national celebration of his music. He writes the last in a long-running series of Barcarolles for piano, as well as two works in previously untried genres – the Piano Trio, and his final work, the String Quartet. But first, Fauré makes what he can of an unexpected – and unwanted – peace dividend …

FRI 22:00 Between the Ears (b008sc2r)
Behind God's Back

Nagyrev was a sleepy village in a remote part of Hungary - until a spate of mysterious poisonings made it big news. Nearly 50 of the town's men lay prematurely dead in the cemetery. Their bodies were found to be full of arsenic - and the suspects were their wives.

What caused the women of Nagyrev to poison their husbands? Was it, as commentators at the time suggested, the impact of World War I or of social change? Was it revenge for their husbands' drinking and violence?

The programme reconstructs the facts of a baffling mass-murder with archives from the trial, press reports and the memories of one Nagyrev resident still living who remembers the case.


FRI 22:30 Jazz Library (b00d6zx6)
Billy Strayhorn

The man who was Duke Ellington's amanuensis, co-pianist and arranger is not so well-known in his own right. In tonight's programme Ellingtonian specialist Brian Priestley joins Alyn Shipton to look at Strayhorn's small catalogue of records under his own name, and also separates out his immense personal contribution to Duke Ellington's work for both large and small bands, as composer, arranger and instrumentalist.


FRI 23:30 Jazz on 3 (b00d6zx8)
Mike Walker's Ropes at the Manchester Jazz Festival

Jez Nelson presents the world premiere of guitarist Mike Walker's Ropes project. Commissioned by the Manchester Jazz Festival and held at the Royal Northern College of Music, the sell-out event saw the local jazz hero accompanied by a full string orchestra and a specially assembled quartet - lifelong collaborator Iain Dixon on saxophones and clarinet, Steve Watts on bass, Les Chisnall on piano and US drummer Adam Nussbaum.

Walker has been at the core of the Manchester jazz scene for over two decades and has performed with many global names such as Anthony Braxton, Bill Frisell, Tim Berne and John Taylor. Widely regarded within musicians' circles as one of the best, yet least well-known guitarists, Walker has recently released his debut album entitled Mad House and The Whole Thing There, having worked on it for the last 10 years.
