SAT 12:15 Music Matters (b00dmxzc)
Tom Service meets young Latvian conductor Andris Nelsons as he takes over the reigns of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

The life of Thomas Beecham falls under the spotlight as author John Lucas presents new material on the conductor's private life, including his visits to Nazi Germany and his views of its leaders.

And singing Rossini - what exactly does it involve? Credited with the invention of the modern tenor, Rossini makes demands of his singers that far exceed those of his predecessors. Some of today's leading Rossinians reveal the secrets of their success, pianist and vocal coach Gerald Martin Moore looks back at some of the great Rossini singers of the past, and opera historian Emanuele Senici explains why singers in Rossini's day had it so much easier than the divas of today.

Andris Nelsons

29-year-old Latvian Andris Nelsons has just taken over as Music Director of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Simon Rattle and Sakari Oramo’s old job. Many saw his appointment as a risk, coming as it did on the basis of a recording session and a couple of private performances. But it seems the risk has paid off: his opening concerts have gone down a storm in Britain’s second city. Tom Service meets Nelsons and hears how his musical life as a pianist, trumpeter, composer, and pupil of Mariss Jansons prepared him for life on the podium.

Andris Nelsons conducts concert performances of Puccini’s La Boheme with the CBSO October 23 – 25th

Rossini Voices

Rossini singing is going through its biggest ever renaissance. Not since the early 19th century have Rossini’s operas been as popular as they are now – thanks largely to a new generation of interpreters who are devoting their lives to Rossini’s coloratura, his comedies – and his tragedies. Tom meets mezzo Joyce DiDonato, Italian musicologist Emanuele Senici, vocal coach Gerald Martin Moore and tenor Bruce Ford to find out how this new tradition of Rossini singing relates to what Rossini himself wanted from his leading ladies and gentlemen.

The Royal Opera House’s production of Rossini’s ‘Matilde de Shabran’ will be broadcast on Opera on 3 Saturday 22nd November at 6pm

Beecham

Tom meets John Lucas, whose new biography of Sir Thomas Beecham scotches a few myths about one of classical music’s most colourful figures. Beecham fed many of the myths himself, his autobiography is full of factual errors, and his public persona, especially in his later years, was a manufactured mix of dandified wit and obfuscation. But John Lucas explains that behind these public affectations was a musician of real seriousness and ambition, who almost single-handedly transformed the pre- and post-war cultural landscape: setting up orchestras that are still around today (the Royal and London Philharmonics) and making opera part of British musical life. We also hear from two musicians who played with Beecham: Raymond Cohen, who worked with Sir Thomas and the Halle in 1936 – and trumpeter David Mason, who performed in the first ever Royal Philharmonic season in 1946.

Thomas Beecham: An Obsession with Music by John Lucas is published by Boydell & Brewer, £25

Raymond Scott

This year marks the centenary of musical maverick Raymond Scott’s birth. Scott poses a series of musical paradoxes: he had a jazz quintet - which consisted of six players; he insisted that the musicians never improvise - but he never gave them sheet music; and he invented some of the most potentially influential electronic instruments of the 20th century - but he refused to make any of them public. And yet his influence spread everywhere. Now a new generation of composers and musicians are discovering Scott’s unique musico-technological inventions. Tom talks to Scott’s collaborator Herb Deutsch, Irwin Chusid, chairman of the Raymond Scott archive, as well as his wife, Mitzi.

Stuart Brown and his Raymond Scott Project Quintet, will be playing at Kings Place Arts Centre on 14th October


SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00drsy8)
To celebrate the Orlando Consort's 20th anniversary, 2 of the founder members, Angus Smith and Donald Grieg talk to Catherine Bott about some of the ensemble's projects and repertoire. They discuss their "concept" albums and how these put repertoire into a more social context. They also discuss the more collaborative ventures with composers such as Tarik O'Regan, juxtaposing this contemporary style with medieval repertoire. The group has always consisted of 4 singers, and there have only been 2 changes in personnel in their 20 years; as a special birthday celebration, all 6 past and present members met in the studio to record a motet by Gombert, as a fitting end to this programme. Other repertoire includes works by Penalosa, Ciconia, Machaut and Tarik O'Regan.

The Kamkars

One of the leading lights of contemporary Iranian music with a following that has already extended to Iraq and Turkey, the Kamkars perform arrangements of ancient Kurdish folk songs and works from the Persian classical tradition. The ensemble is a family of seven brothers and a sister and the instruments they play range from the lute-like oud and setar, to the santur (an Iranian form of the hammered dulcimer) and the daf (a type of frame drum). Lucy Duran introduces highlights from their concert, given as part of the Barbican's Ramadan Nights - "a celebration of the rich diversity of the world's Muslim cultures, which conincides with the Eid-al-Fitr festivities that take place at the end of Ramandan".

SAT 18:00 Opera on 3 (b00drsyj)
Candide

Martin Handley presents Leonard Bernstein's comic operetta Candide, recorded at London's Coliseum in July. Robert Carsen's controversial production for English National Opera updates Voltaire's savage 18th century satire from Europe to the Unites States of the 1950s, revealing the dystopian reality of the American Dream.

Voltaire/Pangloss/Martin: Alex Jennings
Candide: Toby Spence (tenor)
Cunegonde: Marnie Breckenridge (soprano)
Old Lady: Beverley Klein (mezzo-soprano)
Grand Inquisitor/Captain/Governor: Bonaventura Bottone (tenor)
Paquette: Mairéad Buicke (soprano)
Maximilian: Mark Stone (baritone)
Cacambo: Ferlyn Brass
Rumon Gamba: Conductor
Orchestra and Chorus of English National Opera

SYNOPSIS:

Act I

In Westphalia, Maximilian and Cunegonde, the children of the most powerful baron in the country, live in perfect harmony with their chambermaid Paquette and their poor relation Candide. They are tutored by Doctor Pangloss, who teaches them that ‘everything is for the best in this best of all possible worlds’. But one day Candide is caught kissing Cunegonde and is thrown out.

He becomes a soldier, but is soon accused of desertion and sentenced to death, only to be pardoned at the last minute. War breaks out in Westphalia. As the fighting subsides, Candide discovers Cunegonde’s body among the dead, and also finds his old teacher Pangloss, who is suffering from syphilis.

James, an Anabaptist, offers to help find a cure for Pangloss and suggests that they all set sail on his ship. But James’s ship sinks, which doesn’t stop Pangloss from insisting that everything is still for the best. As Candide and Pangloss manage to reach dry land an earthquake flattens the entire country, killing thousands. Pangloss and Candide are arrested and accused of being responsible for the catastrophe. An auto-da-fé is ordered to avoid any further disasters. The defendants are brought before the court, tried, and sentenced to death by hanging.

Cunegonde miraculously survived her death in Westphalia and has now begun to regain her previous quality of life. She shares herself between two rival protectors, Don Issachar and Don Cardinale. In order to make sure that the two men never meet, she relies on the help of an Old Lady with a mysterious past. Candide (who has miraculously survived being hanged) is amazed to discover that Cunegonde is alive and well. As they fall into each other’s arms, Don Issachar appears and insults Cunegonde. Candide kills him. Don Cardinale then appears, and the same fate befalls him. Encouraged by the Old Lady, Candide and Cunegonde decide to flee. With the help of a Captain, they all set sail for the New World, in search of a better life.

Act II

Candide, Cunegonde, the Old Lady and Cacambo (a Native American Indian recruited by the Captain to help Candide on his travels), arrive in the New World. The Officer who selects the immigrants is immediately attracted to Cunegonde. Cacambo informs Candide that even in the New World he is still wanted for murder. They have no choice but to leave Cunegonde behind and flee once again.

As they begin their travels, Candide and Cacambo come across a religious group which includes Maximilian. Recognizing Cunegonde’s brother, Candide tells him that his sister is still alive and that he intends to marry her. When Maximilian opposes this idea, an argument breaks out and Candide kills Maximilian. Yet again Candide and Cacambo are forced to flee. Discovering Eldorado, Candide becomes incredibly rich, but he is unable to enjoy his new-found wealth by himself. He sends Cacambo back to try and find Cunegonde, while he looks for a ship to take them all to safety.

During his search, Candide meets Martin, a poor man who is as pessimistic as Pangloss is optimistic. Martin tells Candide that the world is a horrible place, full of horrible people. In spite of this new lesson, Candide puts his trust in a greedy businessman, Vanderdendur, who pretends to help Candide while selling him a leaky boat and stealing all his money. The boat sinks, but Candide finds his stolen money floating on the water along with the half-drowned Pangloss (who has also miraculously survived being hanged), who continues to repeat his mantra of optimism.

They end up in a casino where Paquette and Maximilian (who has miraculously survived being killed by Candide) also work. Ragotski, the owner of the casino, encourages Cunegonde and the Old Lady to use their charms to steal Candide’s money. Cunegonde’s mask falls from her face, and Candide is forced to recognize that she is not the faithful woman he always imagined her to be. He further realizes that human happiness is to be found neither in Pangloss’s unconditional optimism nor in Martin’s die-hard pessimism, but somewhere in between.

Candide concludes that it would be best to try and ‘make our garden grow’...

Robert Carsen's controversial production for English National Opera updates Voltaire's savage 18th century satire from Europe to the Unites States of the 1950s, revealing the dystopian reality of the American Dream.

SYNOPSIS:
Candide, a young man from Westphalia, is in love with Cunegonde, daughter of the local baron. He is a loyal follower of the teachings of his tutor, Dr Pangloss, who believes ‘Everything that is, is planned, is wisely planned, is right and good’.

Candide is confronted with many disasters. There is a massacre during which Cunegonde is apparently killed; and Pangloss is executed in an auto-da-fé. Candide sets off on his travels. He goes to Paris, where he meets an Old Lady, who accompanies him (along with the miraculously saved Cunegonde) to the New World. He goes to Buenos Aires and to the fabulous land of Eldorado.

He returns to Europe, surviving a shipwreck, goes to Venice and finally back to Westphalia. There he realizes the folly of Pangloss’s philosophy and resolves to build his own life rather than assuming that everything that happens is for the best.

John Burnside

Michael Berkeley talks to Scots poet and novelist John Burnside, many of whose poetry collections and novels have either won or been shortlisted for major prizes.

A recurring theme of his work is the darkness and violence that lies beneath the surface of everyday life, which is explored in his most recent novel Glister.

His musical choices are more consoling and include sacred music by Sheppard and Handel, a Bach partita for solo keyboard, music from India and Spain, Tippett's Fantasia concertante on a Theme of Corelli and Miles Davis' Time after Time.

SUN 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00drwbp)
Catherine Bott presents a programme which looks at the life and music of the seventeenth century composer, Dr John Blow. Most famous as Henry Purcell's teacher, John Blow was a highly respected composer in his own right, and is considered to be the finest composer of keyboard music from the Restoration period..
Born in Newark on Trent, Blow was taken to London as a boy to sing in the newly reformed Royal Chapel Choir. When his voice broke, he turned his attention to the keyboard and soon gained a position at Westminster Abbey, as well as a number of posts within the Royal circle. Blow not only served King Charles II, but also wrote coronation anthems for James II, William and Mary, and Queen Anne; his output also included a great deal of organ music, church services, secular songs, and what is widely considered to be the first true English opera: Venus & Adonis.

Rautavaara - 05/10/2008

Aled Jones talks to Kari Turunen, a Finnish choral conductor, writer and journalist about Einojuhani Rautavaara and the post-war choral scene in Finland. Celebrating his 80th birthday on 9th October, Rautavaara has been a consistent producer of choral music since he began composing half a century ago. The 1950s were a fascinating time in the choral history of Finland when there was a deliberate effort to increase and develop chamber choirs. These new ensembles needed very different voices, ones without vibrato, and lighter in texture than was previously required and composers like Rautavaara were quick to respond to the demands for new repertoire. The rise of children’s and youth choirs in the 1960s and the technical advancement of amateur choirs in general has resulted in a unique and thriving marketplace for new choral repertoire in Finland

Chris Brookes and Alan Hall sift the sound-worlds of two contemporary English environments in search of evidence of the vivid aural landscapes inhabited by Shakespeare and Elizabeth I. With contributions from bell-ringer Simon Meyer, Shakespearean voice coach Stewart Pearce, historian Elizabeth Goldring, retired river-man Gordon Dickens, acoustic archaeologist Bruce Smith and musician Anthony Rooley.


SUN 22:15 Words and Music (b007l9pd)
Weary with Toil

Another chance to hear Harriet Walter and Robert Glenister read poetry and prose on a theme of work and toil by Shakespeare, Kathleen Jamie, Simon Armitage, John Clare and Carol Rumens. With music by Beethoven, Handel, Elvis Costello and Shostakovich.

Readers: Harriet Walker and Robert Glenister

Producer's Note

I've chosen poetry on the theme of work in all its aspects: love of work, despair at the loss of work, the monotony of work, work in the fields and work on the shop floor.

The programme starts with Simon Armitage's poem 'The White-Liners' and includes Ruth Padel's 'Builders' and Jo Shapcott's 'Work in the City'. Factory life and industry is heard in Christopher Logue's 'I've worked here all my life', Fred Voss' 'All the Way' and Carol Rumens' 'Jarrow'.

Some of the music in the programme reflects this -Iron Foundry, Mosolov's socialist realist depiction of life in a Soviet factory, Elvis Costello's lament for the death of shipbuilding and Handel's slave song from his oratorio 'Theodora'.

The political is touched on in Paul Robeson's 'Joe Hill', a song about the death of a labour activist. Rural life is heard in John Clare's 'Labour's Leisure' and in Wordsworth's 'The Solitary Reaper' with music from Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony and George Butterworth's beautiful setting of A.E. Housman's 'Is my Team Ploughing?'
The sequence ends with a Raymond Carver poem, written at the very end of his life, reflecting his love of work and Handel's 'The Harmonious Blacksmith'.

Dave Holland Sextet at Saalfelden Jazz Festival

Jez Nelson presents Dave Holland's Sextet in concert in August 2008 at Austria's Saalfelden Jazz Festival. Performing together for the first time in Europe, the group play songs from their most recent album Pass It On, featuring Dave Holland on bass, Robin Eubanks on trombone, Antonio Hart on alto saxophone, Alex Sasha Sipiagin on trumpet, Mulgrew Miller on piano and Eric Harland on drums. Holland's men create a captivating sound by striking the right balance between tight collective groves and freer periods of individualism.

British-born Holland was involved in London's vibrant free improvisation scene in the 1960s playing with The Spontaneous Music Orchestra. Shortly after, he was invited to join Miles Davis's band, with which he recorded the classic albums of his pivotal electric period, including Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way. Since then, Holland has played in the influential avant-garde group Circle with Chick Corea and Anthony Braxton as well as The Gateway Trio with John Abercrombie and Jack DeJohnette.

Towards Messiaen: Hearing Pictures

Episode 2

Presented by Penny Gore.

Afternoon on 3 continues its occasional series celebrating 100 years since the birth of Messiaen, which focuses on his music in the context of significant themes in French music history and this week examines one of France's most important contributions to Western classical music - Impressionism.

Messiaen relished the notion of painting pictures in music and, in particular, had a fasincation for portraying bird song and nature, continuing a tradition that goes back to Renaissance times and the French chansons.

TUE 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00drxn4)
Presented by Catherine Bott.

The LSO and conductor Valery Gergiev launch their Emigres series on composers in exile, starting with Rachmaninov.

At the height of his fame, Rachmaninov liked to escape to get peace and quiet. But when the disruptions of the 1917 Revolution caused him to leave Russia for good, he felt the loss of his homeland keenly. This first concert opens with the First Symphony, composed in St Petersburg when Rachmaninov was just 22. It was initially poorly received due to a terrible first performance, which affected him greatly. The other work in the programme is the Third Symphony, written during a summer break in Lucerne some years after Rachmaninov's emigration to America and filled with the sorrow of separation from his home country.

WED 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00drxwy)
Einojuhani Rautavaara (b.1928)

Finland

The Finnish landscape is an influence that Rautavaara readily acknowledges in his music. Folk-tales originally gathered in the countryside were an integral part of national identity and, as a young boy, his father used to tell him tales from the Kalevala, Finland's folk-lore epic, as bedtime stories. Yet, when it came to music, Rautavaara initially steered clear of Finland's folklore. He felt that the Kalevala belonged to his forebear Sibelius rather than to a young composer, but later on, in works such as The First Runo for chamber choir, Rautavaara found the means to express his connection with his folk heritage.

WED 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00drxx8)
Catherine Bott presents the second concert in the LSO and conductor Valery Gergiev's Emigres series, which continues with an exploration of Rachmaninov's relationship with his homeland. Due to political upheavals from 1905 onwards, Rachmaninov spent periods of time abroad in Italy and Germany, but returned to Russia each time.

His Second Symphony was written against this unsettling background and, following the poor reception of his First Symphony, he was unsurprisingly secretive while working on it. This work is coupled with the Fourth Piano Concerto, his first major piano work composed in exile in America.

THU 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00dry3q)
Einojuhani Rautavaara (b.1928)

The Mystic

Religious and metaphysical subjects have been a continuing source of fascination for Rautavaara. The key to his belief lies not in a specific doctrine, but in the words of the German philosopher Friedrich Schleiermacher that 'true religion is sense and taste for the infinite'. Another theme within Rautavaara's work stems from his belief in the existence of angels - but for him, the angel is not golden and cherubic and a rather more menacing figure as described by the German poet Rilke.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00dryfz)
Einojuhani Rautavaara (b.1928)

The Creative Process

Donald Macleod concludes the survey of the life and works of Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara with an exploration of some of his compositional techniques and the ideologies behind them. Borrowing a quote from Thomas Mann, Rautavaara sees compositions as having a 'sort of metaphysical mind of their own', with the composer's role being one of a mediator or perhaps a mid-wife. He says the music tells you where it wants to go and it is the composer's job to help the music live on its own terms.
