Live from the Met
Puccini's La Rondine
From the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, Marco Armiliato conducts the least-known of Puccini's later operas, which has a much lighter musical style than his better known works, as well as operetta-like touches and strong tunes. Real-life couple Angela Gheorghiu and Roberto Alagna play the lead romantic roles in a piece they have performed around the world and helped to put back onto the operatic map.
Presented by Margaret Juntwait with guest commentator Ira Siff. The interval includes backstage interviews.

Weather Reports You
American artist Roni Horn proposes that 'when you talk about the weather, you talk about yourself'. She brings together individual stories and reflections about the weather, recorded across the county of Norfolk to create a collective portrait.
SAT 21:25 BBC Singers (b00gnq2q)
Peter Phillips conducts the BBC Singers in a concert giving a bird's-eye view of Flemish Renaissance composer Nicolas Gombert's choral music - including an elaborate mass setting, a motet describing the grief of King David for his dead son and another which is a lament for the most famous composer of the age, Josquin des Pres, who may have been Gombert's teacher.
'The Profound Musician' was one contemporary's description of Gombert, while another theorist wrote that 'he shows all musicians the path, nay more, the exact way to refinement'. From provincial and humble beginnings, he came to be choirmaster to the Hapsburg Emperor Charles V and travelled across Europe as a member of his court.

Charles Hazlewood is joined by the BBC Concert Orchestra and composer Fung Lam to explore his new work Unlocking. Through conversation and diary entries which Fung recorded during the compositional process, they trace how this work was written from its conception through to the final version of the piece.
Fung was commisioned by the BBC to write a piece for the programme, the first of a series of three works specially commissioned from contemporary composers. Taking inspiration from the exhibition of padlocks at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Fung's piece explores ideas of codes, secrets and locks.
The programme also looks at an education project which composer and animateur Fraser Trainer has been running alongside the composition of Fung's new piece, a project which also took this exhibition as a starting point.

Inside the Art Schools
Michael Bracewell immerses himself in the febrile atmosphere of our art schools to discover the sources of the students' inspiration. In a world flooded with visual imagery, today's fine art students are bombarded with stimuli from all sides and can struggle to find their own creative path. Bracewell hears how they wrestle with their artistic ambitions and uses their work to assess the likely future of contemporary art in this country.
He also talks to one of Goldsmith College's most high-profile alumni, Damien Hirst, who reveals how deconstructing a tomato plant with fellow students inspired him to approach art in a different way.
SUN 22:15 Words and Music (b00gh4h1)
Through the Looking Glass
This edition takes the theme of mirrors and reflections with readings by Sir Derek Jacobi and Lesley Manville.
The poetry and prose I have chosen show the mirror as a symbol of vanity, self-examination and the limits of human understanding.
I started with the object of the mirror with Amy Lowell's poem and Arvo Part's haunting Spiegel im Spiegel. There are several readings from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there. Lesley Manville, played Alice at the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith during the 80s. Derek Jacobi brings Alice's topsy-turvy world to life in his reading of the poem Jabberwocky.
A darker vein runs through Ted Hughes' re-telling of Ovid's myth of Narcissus where his fate is sealed when he becomes entranced by his own reflection in a pool, leading to Szymanowski's seductive myths and Brain Eno's plateaux of mirror. Ann Sexton's poem about Snow White gives a modern twist to the "Mirror, mirror on the wall" and leads to the modern jazz improvisation of Dave Douglas.
Darker still with Walt Whitman's A Handmirror with the radiophonic piece Veils and Mirrors, Sylvia Plath's bleak poem Mirror and Jorge Luis Borges's fear of mirrors.
I end with a mirror fugue from Bach's Art of Fugue and the passage from 1 Corinthians about self-knowledge "For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face:"
Producer: Jessica Isaacs.

George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)
George Frideric Handel - Episode 1
Donald Macleod explores John Mainwaring's Memoirs of the Life of the Late George Frideric Handel, published in 1760.
He discovers that Mainwaring's book is almost the only source for information about Handel's early life. His account is full of colourful incidents, many of which have since entered musical mythology, but Donald examines how how far we can trust Mainwairing's lively portrayal of the young composer.

Episode 1
Presented by Louise Fryer.

Some of that comparatively unknown repertoire features in performances given by the BBC orchestras, with whom Handley had an enduring relationship.

Nielsen Symphony Cycle
Episode 1
Presented by Martin Handley.
Part of a cycle of Danish composer Carl Nielsen's six symphonies performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Manchester's Halle. Guest conductor Dmitri Slobodeniouk, making his UK debut, takes the baton in the Fourth Symphony, known as The Inextinguishable, because, dating from the early years of World War One, it reflects Nielsen's own belief in life and music's capacity to triumph over adversity. The symphony is preceded by Nielsen's rhapsodic overture, A Fantasy Trip to the Faroes as well as a performance of Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto with Russian pianist Nikolai Lugansky.

Rana Mitter talks to psychologist Penelope Leach, author of the bestelling book Your Baby and Child, which changed British attitudes to child rearing in the 1970s sparking the growth of 'child-centred parenting'. She talks about the changing politics and social codes which have shaped parenting over the last 30 years and discusses her latest book, which addresses our complex and ambivalent relationship to child-care in the 21st century.
Plus a review of the Arnaud Desplechin film Un conte de Noel (A Christmas Tale), which stars Catherine Deneuve as the mother of a dysfunctional family brought together during the holiday season. A critical and commercial hit in France, the film was nominated for a Palme d'Or at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.

Presented by Martin Handley.
Well-known for her sensitive and lyrical playing, pianist Imogen Cooper performs an all-Schubert recital as part of the 2008-2009 International Piano Series at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall. Her programme begins with two lieder, followed by two sonatas, both written in 1825. The A minor Sonata was one of the few to be published in Schubert's lifetime and was dedicated to Beethoven's staunch patron Archduke Rudolph; the D reflects an idyllic summer where Schubert was transfixed by the beauty of the Austrian countryside.
Imogen Cooper (piano)
Schubert: Drei Klavierstucke, D946; Sonata in A minor, D845; Sonata in D, D850.
Followed by a Nielsen chamber music focus, including recordings from the BBC archives.
WED 21:15 Night Waves (b00gh5qs)
Matthew Sweet interviews Holocaust survivor Thomas Buergenthal, whose memoir A Lucky Child describes his experience in Nazi death camps and his subsequent career as a human rights judge at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. He talks about how his past has informed his understanding of modern-day war crimes.
Theatre directors Felix Barrett and Tom Morris discuss their revival of Tom Stoppard's musical play Every Good Boy Deserves Favour. Set in a Soviet asylum, the play focuses on two dissidents, one of whom believes he is surrounded by an orchestra. Barrett and Morris explain why they feel the play continues to resonate more than 30 years after it was written.
Historians Bettany Hughes and Jeffrey Richards join Matthew to discuss how ancient Greece and Rome were captured on celluloid in the days of silent film. And, as the economic recession deepens, Night Waves looks back at the flourishing of arts and culture which took place in America after the Great Depression and the announcement of the New Deal.

Ondine
Martin Handley introduces a Royal Ballet anniversary revival of Ondine, Frederick Ashton's ballet choreographed for the great Margot Fonteyn and scored by Hans Werner Henze.
The work tells the tragic tale of Palemon, a mortal who falls in love with the water nymph, Ondine, but betrays her and dies in their last embrace. The scoring reveals Henze's fascination with human gesture and movement as an inspiration for his own composition as well as evoking Ondine's beautiful watery underworld.
With the Royal Ballet's music director, Barry Wordsworth, discussing Henze's specially-commissioned music.

Bidisha hosts a debate recorded in front of an audience at Liverpool's FACT centre, for Radio 3's Free Thinking festival of ideas, with Sean Spence, professor of psychiatry at the University of Sheffield giving a talk on the ethics of using pharmacology to regulate human behaviour.
He argues that in the case of antisocial people who want to reduce their risk to society, the prescription of behaviour-modifiying drugs is not coercive, imposed control, but a postive step - something he calls 'collaborative pharmacology'.
