The music in the programme included works by Leonin and Perotin, and examples of the earliest motets and conductus form.

Riccardo Muti conducts soprano Barbara Frittoli, mezzo Angelika Kirchschlager and bass Ildebrando D'Arcangelo in a performance of Mozart's comic opera, given at the Vienna State Opera - in the same city where the work was first performed in 1790.
The plot of what is regarded by many as the composer's greatest opera centres on Guglielmo and Ferrando, two army officers who claim to their colleagues that their wives will always be faithful to them. However, their friend Don Alfonso bets otherwise, devising a plan to test the women's fidelity.
Fiordiligi ...... Barbara Frittoli (soprano)
Dorabella ...... Angelika Kirchschlager (mezzo-soprano)

A surreal, dark comedy by Cornish writer Carl Grose, inspired by seeing a Johannesburg local newspaper headline about a farmer who hanged 49 donkeys from tree branches on his land.

Stanley Bray ...... Charles Barnecut
Joy Bray ...... Amanda Lawrence

Bud Powell
Alyn Shipton explores the best examples of recordings by pianist Bud Powell, who died in 1966 aged 41 and altered the course of jazz piano through his bebop innovations of the 1940s.
He left an impressive legacy of recorded work, although this also charts his slow decline as a consequence of mental illness and addiction problems.
Shipton is joined by pianist Geoff Eales to consider the largest body of Powell's work, for the Blue Note label.

Aled Jones
As we approach the final rounds of BBC Radio 3’s Choir of the Year 2008, Aled Jones catches up with the current champions, Chantage and their conductor, James Davey.
After just seven years in existence, Chantage astounded everyone by sweeping the board at the last BBC Radio 3’s Choir of the Year competition. They walked away with, not only the first prize, but the audience prize as well. That was back in 2006. As we approach the climax of BBC Radio 3 Choir of the Year 2008, Aled Jones catches up with Chantage conductor, James Davey, to find out what winning the competition has done for their fortunes. As James points out, the way Chantage was propelled to the front ranks of the choral world has been both a blessing and the burden. He also reveals what he thought of that ‘other’ competition, BBC ONE’s Last Choir Standing.
Featuring music from their latest CD, and highlights from a live concert Chantage recorded at the South Bank Centre with guest beat-boxers MC Zani and Jestar*

In front of an audience at Liverpool's FACT centre for Radio 3's 2008 Free Thinking festival, brain scientist and bestselling author Susan Blackmore explores the notion of free will, asking whether the choices we make really are free.

Free Thinking - Words and Music
Experience the journey of a lifetime in an hour-and-a-half with young Liverpudlian actors Annabelle Dowler and Kevin Harvey, and music performed by folk-singer Belinda Sykes, jazz/rock-percussionist Bill Bruford, pianist Ashley Wass and the Elias String Quartet!
This edition of Words and Music is an interpretation of Shakespeare’s declaration about life, the ‘Seven Ages of Man’ from As You Like It, through the words of Blake and the Mersey Sound; Marlowe and Raleigh, Sassoon and Pinter; Pam Ayres and Kipling. Plus, Don’t Fence Me In, a newly-commissioned take on Shakespeare’s ‘Second Childishness’ by Free Thinking Writer in Residence, Angela Clarke.
Bill Bruford plays percussion improvisations that represent the passing of time, while Belinda Sykes punctuates the programme with folk ballades that convey the raw experience of life. Ashley Wass and the Elias String Quartet play music that ties in with youth, from Mendelssohn’s String Quartet Op.44 No.2 to Grieg’s Arietta, and from Debussy’s String Quartet to Kurtag’s Jatekok nursery rhythms. They come together for the ‘Lover’ in the Adagio from Elgar’s Quintet and, as old age approaches, play from Haydn’s String Quartet Op.76 No.1 and Bax’s In a Vodka Shop to represent Shakespeare’s ‘Slippered Pantaloon’ and ‘Second Childishness’. Ashley Wass brings the programme to a close with more Grieg, his ‘Recollection’, which is followed by Kipling’s ‘The Way through the Woods’ and Bill Bruford’s percussion beat fading as life comes to a close.

Arrivals
An exploration of the shy and home-loving Dvorak's arrival in eclectic and chaotic New York, where he went to take up his new position as director of the National Conservatory. The music includes Dvorak's American 'calling card' - his Scherzo capriccioso, his carnival-like Te Deum and a particular oddity - his cantata The American Flag, written to a fiercely patriotic text and rarely heard since its composition.

Bobo Stenson Trio at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester
Jez Nelson presents a gig from the RNCM, performed by Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson, with Jon Falt on drums and Anders Jormin on double bass. The group showcases tracks from the recent release, Cantando, and in their conversational style play both original tracks and re-workings of compositions by musicians including Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry.
Stenson's career stretches back to the 1960s, when he served as a sideman with Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz and Gary Burton. In 1971, Stenson released his debut album Underwear to critical praise. Since then he has played a pivotal role in the development of an authentic and original style of Scandinavian jazz alongside musicians such as Jan Garbarek.

Free Thinking: Being Green can be Dangerous
In one of the Free Thinking festival 2008's 'Daniel in the Lion's Den' sessions, philosopher John Gray, author of the bestselling Straw Dogs and considered to be one of Britain's most original thinkers, risks the wrath of recyclers everywhere by suggesting to an audience that to think that we can 'save the planet' is absurd or even dangerous. To meet the challenges of the future, Gray argues, we need to look to technological fixes - including some that 'greens' fear and reject.
