King’s Place

Tom visits London’s newest concert hall, Kings Place, the brain child of Peter Millican, set to host chamber music, jazz, and world music events from the start of October. Peter’s plan is an ambitious one: to finance the year-round artistic programme with the rents from the Guardian and other corporate clients renting space at the complex. But can he make King’s Place fly without cash from the Arts Council? And what will the impact be on London’s flagship chamber music venue, the Wigmore Hall? Tom talks to John Gilhooly of the Wigmore Hall, and to two wise men of British culture: John Tusa, former Chief Executive of the Barbican and now Chairman of the University of the Arts, and Anthony Sargent, General Director at the Sage in Gateshead.

Mauricio Kagel

Composer Mauricio Kagel died on Thursday, at the age of 76. Growing up in Argentina, Kagel studied with Borges before moving to Cologne in 1957, and throwing himself into the musical avant-garde. But Kagel remained a literary composer, in the sense that he questioned all of the received wisdoms of the musical world. He staged pieces like Match, for two cellists and a percussionist who referees their musical tug-of-war, to a recent theatre work that faked a kidnapping in a concert hall. Tom remembers this master of the avant-garde with composer and ex-Kagel pupil Gerald Barry, and Kagel expert Björn Heile.

La Calisto

Francesco Cavalli’s 17th century tale of conflict between gods and mortals, La Calisto, opens at the Royal Opera House on Tuesday. This is the first time that any of Cavalli’s dozens of operas have made it to the stage at Covent Garden. Tom explores why it has taken so long to showcase the work of a composer who made Venetian opera his own in the wake of Monteverdi’s advances in the mid 17th century, and wrote among the first public (as opposed to princely) operatic entertainments. Tom went along to rehearsals at the Royal Opera House and spoke to director David Alden, conductor Ivor Bolton, and Soprano Sally Matthews.

La Calisto is at the Royal Opera House September 23rd – October 10th

Anthony Marwood

There is something of a musical revolution going on in Ireland at the moment and one of those at the forefront is violinist Anthony Marwood, who conducts the Irish Chamber Orchestra at the Wigmore Hall on Tuesday. Marwood’s career as chamber musician and soloist – he performs with the Florestan Trio and premiered Thomas Adès’s Violin Concerto – sees him navigate the extremes of the violin’s repertoire. But Marwood’s skills extend beyond music. He has combined his acting and dancing skills with his violin-playing in recent years, notably in a production of Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale, where he played the Soldier – and the violin part. Tom meets him to ask how all this musical multi-tasking is connected.

Don’t miss Music Matters special Irish edition on October 11th when Tom will be travelling across Ireland to get a sense of what has shaped Irish musical life.

Anthony Marwood directs the Irish Chamber Orchestra at the Wigmore Hall on Tuesday 23rd September

SYNOPSIS
ACT I
A battered truck breaks down; its passengers are Leokadja Begbick, Fatty and Trinity Moses, three fugitives from justice who are charged with slave-trading and fraud. Realizing that it will be easier to extract gold from men than from the rivers they find themselves in, they decide to found a city of pleasure: it will be called Mahagonny, a spiderweb to attract men to have fun (as there is nothing else dependable in life). News of Mahagonny spreads; it attracts Jenny Smith, a prostitute, and her friends (the ‘sharks’). Singing the Alabama Song, they set out in pursuit of whisky, dollars and pretty boys. Fatty and Moses go to the big industrial cities to recruit the disillusioned to join them in their city of gold. Four Alaskan lumberjacks (Jim Mahoney and his friends Jack, Bill and Joe), who have shared hard times and made their fortunes, look forward to the pleasures of Mahagonny. Begbick introduces herself and tries to interest them in her girls. Haggling ensues, and Jim chooses Jenny; they get to know one another. Mahagonny suffers a financial recession: people are leaving in droves and crime is high; the price of whisky is falling. Begbick suggests going back to ‘civilization’ but she is still a hunted woman. Jim also wants to leave but is dissuaded by his friends. In front of the Hotel Rich Man, the men of Mahagonny are smoking and drinking and listening to a pianist playing ‘The Maiden’s Prayer’. Jim says that Mahagonny has become too peaceful and dull. As if in answer to his complaint, the city is threatened by a hurricane. Jim compares the savagery of Nature with the greater destructiveness of Man. He protests that there are too many regulations in the city and that society should be based on permissiveness: ‘In this world you must make your own bed’.

ACT II
The hurricane miraculously bypasses Mahagonny. Jim’s theory must be right: every man for himself. They will devote themselves to the four pleasures of life: eating, lechery, fighting and drinking. At groaning tables, the men gorge and Jack eats himself to death. Then Begbick presides over the Mandalay Brothel and the men queue for Jenny and the other prostitutes. Jim bets all his money on Joe in a boxing match between Joe and Trinity Moses, but Joe is killed. To drown his sorrows, Jim buys rounds of drinks for everyone, but their drunken games damage Begbick’s furnishings. When Begbick demands payment for that and for the drinks, Jim turns to Jenny for a loan; she throws his own selfish philosophy back at him and refuses. Jim is led off to prison.

ACT III
Jim dreads the dawning of the next day. In the court room Moses sells tickets for the forthcoming trials. He is prosecutor, Fatty the defence lawyer and Begbick the judge. The first defendant, Toby Higgins, is acquitted of murder, having handed over money to the court. Jim is summoned and led in by Billy, from whom he tries to borrow money so that he too can bribe his way off the charges. Billy refuses. Jim is accused of violating Jenny, being an accessory to the murder of Joe, inciting the crowd on the night of the hurricane by singing illegal songs, and failing to pay Begbick for drinks and criminal damage. This last charge is deemed the most serious and he is sentenced to death. As Jim is led off to await execution, everyone dreams of another city, sunny Benares, only to learn that it has been destroyed by an earthquake. Now, they wonder, where else might they go? Jim says goodbye to Jenny, who declares herself his widow. He tells the people of Mahagonny to live life to the full as there is no afterlife. They describe a visit by God to Mahagonny; God cannot condemn the inhabitants to Hell as they are there already. Jim is executed. While the city burns, there are demonstrations and conflicts between groups of protesters. Jim’s possessions are paraded like sacred relics as the various processions merge, the marchers proclaiming ‘Nothing will help him or us or you now!’.

SUN 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00dk8dg)
Domenico Zipoli

Domenico Zipoli was thought to have disappeared from European musical life just as he made his mark with the publication of his first work, the Sonate d'intavolatura per organo e cimbalo. Did his early promise fade and leave him resigned to a life of obscurity? Well, no. Scholars had known for a while that there was another Domenico Zipoli, active just after this time in Paraguay, but it wasn't until the 1950s that it was realised that the two composers were in fact one and the same.
Zipoli had joined the Jesuit reductiones and gone to South America - music played a pivotal role in in the missions, fulfilling the Jesuits' aim of transmitting the idea of God to the natives. The music he composed there was thought to be lost, until at the beginning of the 1960s when a mass for three-part choir (without bass), soloists, two violins, organ and continuo was located, reading: "copied in Potossi, in the year 1784", that is 58 years after the composer's death. The fact that over half a century after Zipoli's death his works were still performed in Argentina and in Higher Peru clearly reflect his importance. Then, in 1972, 5000 pages of manuscript music were accidentally discovered in East Bolivia, among them a large number of complete works by Zipoli. They were being used as toilet paper in the bathroom of the church sacristy! Catherine Bott explores the life and music of this amazing man, wrongly thought to have disappeared from musical life as quickly as he had appeared.

Elgar: A Very English Composer

Charles Hazlewood is joined by the string section of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales to explore what makes Elgar such a quintessentially 'English' composer, focusing on his 1905 Introduction and Allegro, and the 1892 Serenade for Strings.

As a contrast, Charles also examines the music of Holst, another English composer who was writing in the early part of the 20th century, looking at his Saint Paul's Suite for string orchestra. Could Holst's style possibly be more authentically English than that of Elgar?

SUN 21:30 Sunday Feature (b00dkvqw)
Remember, Remember

Psychologist Susan Blackmore investigates how we are outsourcing the memory of our lives to digital devices and asks whether that is changing the nature of human memory.

She hears from a 'lifelogger' who is recording every detail of his daily life - and from an academic who has taped 220,000 hours of audio and video of his infant son. Susan asks whether we will all end up doing the same and how this will affect the way we remember our own lives.


SUN 22:15 Words and Music (b00dkw0y)
Producer’s Note – Ode to Autumn

To celebrate the first day of autumn this week’s Words and Music is devoted to what Keats called ‘season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’. Autumn in the countryside is celebrated too in John Clare’s ‘Autumn’ and Percy Grainger’s ‘Harvest Hymn’. For Ted Hughes it is a more mysterious time of year - the frost on an ‘October Dawn’ leads to a premonition of an ice age where ‘mammoth and sabre-tooth celebrate reunion’. A harsher and more mystic season is also evoked in ‘The name of it is autumn’ by a poet much admired by Hughes, Emily Dickinson. And, for another American poet, Robert Frost, the ripe apples unharvested and falling from the tree leads him to a plea for man to resist ‘managing’ nature and to cherish the unknown and unexpected in life. Apples too In Patrick Kavanagh’s beautiful poem ‘The Long Garden’ in which the memory of a garden full of golden apples takes him back to his Irish childhood ‘where the sun was always setting on the play’. But, for Yeats, the sight of the wild swans at Coole as he walks through the woods with the trees in ‘their autumn beauty’ reminds him of the passing of time as he reaches the end of his life

The music in ‘Ode to Autumn’ takes us from the Italy of Vivaldi’s ‘L’Autumno’ to the tango of Piazzolla’s Buenos Aires autumn in ‘Otono Porteno’ and the Russian baccanale in Glazunov’s ‘L’Automne’. The programme ends with Mahler’s masterpiece ‘Der Einsame im Herbst’, written after the death of his daughter, a lament for the passing of beauty and the loneliness of the individual in the face of death.

Producer: Fiona McLean
Readers: Rachel Atkins and Nicholas Farrell.

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00dkgkv)
Johannes Brahms

Werther's Woes...and First Maturity

After the shattering suicide attempt of his mentor Robert Schumann, Brahms didn't publish a new work for nearly six years - a wretched period in the career of music's new hottest property. Yet the flirty attentions of the composer's much-beloved Hamburg Ladies' Choir finally rejuvenated his creative juices in 1859, at the tender age of 26. In this second programme episode, Donald Macleod explores Brahms's renewed creative maturity, beginning with a rare work for 'his ladies' accompanied by harp and horns.

WED 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00dkgkx)
Johannes Brahms

Singing in the Rain

Everyone knows that Brahms struggled with his First Symphony for years - terrified of failing to live up to the great Beethoven. Much less well-known is that he tore his hair out over the other great genre dominated by his hero - the String Quartet - quite literally wallpapering his bedroom with his failed attempts.

In the third programme of this series Donald Macleod takes us through two movements from Brahms's rarely-performed and oft-maligned First String Quartet, as well as a complete performance of his beautiful and lyrical first Violin Sonata, inspired by thoughts of his great lost love, Clara Schumann, among the falling rain.

THU 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00dkgkz)
Johannes Brahms

The Joachim Case

After 20 years of turbulent friendship, the relationship between Brahms and Joseph Joachim finally snapped at the beginning of the 1870s. But for once it wasn't the fault of the infamously rude and argumentative composer.

Donald Macleod explores the story of one of Brahms's most noble actions - his support for Joachim's wife in their tumultuous divorce case. He also introduces complete performances of solo sonatas for violin and cello, as well as a rare love song for alto, viola and piano, sung by Kathleen Ferrier.

THU 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00dkytz)
Edinburgh International Festival 2008

25/09/2008

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

A concert given at the Edinburgh Festival 2008, featuring the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in a work by Stravinsky paying tribute to Tchaikovsky, which cast the former in a new light at its premiere in the 1920s. The other pieces in the programme likewise reveal unfamiliar aspects of two of today's leading British composers.

Scottish Chamber Orchestra
Oliver Knussen (conductor)

Scriabin, arr. Knussen: Scriabin Settings
Janacek, arr. David Matthews: On the Overgrown Path (Book I) - Edinburgh Festival commission, world premiere

Amadeus Quartet.


THU 21:15 Night Waves (b00dkyv1)
Philip Dodd is joined by author Zoe Heller, whose new book, The Believers, charts a New York family's struggles with the consolations of faith and the trials of doubt.

To mark 100 years of the car that gave rise to the phrase 'any colour so long as it is black' and that was affectionately dubbed Tin Lizzie by Americans, Jonathan Glancey and Prof Jonathan Zeitlin join the programme to discuss the legacy of Fordism. Production of the Ford Model T was revolutionised by a new, moving assembly line and took motoring to the masses.

Veteran film critic David Thomson takes us on a whistle-stop tour of the viewing challenges in his weighty new book Have You Seen? A Personal Introduction to 1,000 Films.

And Philip visits sculptor Anish Kapoor's studio to talk about his collaboration with architect Tony Fretton to build a new house within a hidden space in the heart of London. Can the aesthetic desires of the artist meet the functional needs of a family?

Johannes Brahms

Fraulein Klarinette

1891 - nearly 60 years old now - old man Brahms, resplendent with a great white beard, is in love again. But this time the object of his affections isn't a woman, but a clarinet.

In this final programme in the seires Donald Macleod concludes by taking us through Brahms's last - and perhaps greatest - chamber works: his two clarinet sonatas and clarinet quintet.

FRI 19:20 Twenty Minutes (b007s13z)
Beethoven's Double Bass

At the heart of Beethoven's Choral Symphony is the famous recitative dialogue between double bass and orchestra. It's a moment that lies at the heart of the double bass player's repertoire and, according to bassist Rodney Slatford, was inspired by perhaps the greatest bass player of them all, Domenico Dragonetti.

With the help of Dragonetti's diaries and other memorabilia he has collected over the years, Rodney puts forward the case for putting a Dragonetti footnote into the story of the creation of Beethoven's masterpiece.
