Moonlight

First performed in 1993, this radio production of Pinter's play was recorded to mark his 70th birthday.

Andy, a middle aged civil servant, lies in his bed, dying. His wife tries desperately to bring his estranged adult sons to his side. Bridging these two worlds is the haunting presence of the daughter they have lost.

Ralph ...... John Shrapnel
Maria ...... Jill Johnson
Jake ...... Douglas Hodge
Fred ...... Harry Burton
Bridget ...... Indira Varma

Music by Elizabeth Parker
Directed by Janet Whitaker

8.55pm

One of Pinter's last dramatic works, this was first broadcast in 2005. Some of the tormentors and the tormented so potently etched in Pinter's later plays are brought together with a musical setting by the composer James Clarke.

Music: Apartment House; Eileen Aagaard; Prometheus Ensemble; Rolande van der Paal; Etienne Siebens; BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Martyn Brabbins and David Porcelijn; Fatma Mehralieva.


SUN 21:30 Sunday Feature (b00hkl1w)
Darwin's Conundrum

An investigation into what Charles Darwin really thought about faith and religion. Although he has become an icon for militant secularists, and his theory of evolution is often used to challenge faith and belief, Darwin had a much more complex relationship with religion than is often believed and at one stage was even training to be a priest.


SUN 22:15 Words and Music (b00hkl1y)
The Ascent of Man

The idea of the ‘Ascent of Man’, triggered by the commemoration of the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, became for me a thrilling passageway to a vast and multi-layered territory. After reading excerpts from his Journals and Autobiography, in particular those relating to his trip to South America –where my own roots are- a clear idea came to mind: to portray in ‘Words and Music’ the many different types of journeys he made throughout his life. I mean not only the voyage on board the Beagle, of course, but his other two parallel journeys: the intellectual and spiritual transformations Darwin so bravely went through as he travelled, in body, mind and spirit, in search of the origins of nature.
The texts I’ve selected here to illustrate this three-fold journey, read by actors Henry Goodman and Jemima Rooper, include excerpts from Darwin himself, but also from some Victorian poets, contemporary of the scientist, eager to reflect the influence his innovative vision brought to their craft.
A crucial and modern contribution to the mix though, comes in the shape of readings by Ruth Padel, a prize-winning poet and herself direct descendant of Darwin, who’s written about nature and who contributes here –the way I see it- by putting some of his famous ancestor’s concerns into today’s context. Her readings include excerpts from her latest book, ‘Darwin: A Life in Poems’, just published to coincide with the famous scientist’s anniversary.
Now, music becomes another voice in this journey: the taped songs of the biggest sea mammals in Hovahaness ‘And God Created Great Whales’, or the ritual dance for the killing of a snake in Revueltas’ ‘Sensemayá’, or the subliminal message of ‘Koyaanisqatsi’ -‘world out of balance’-, Philip Glass’ soundtrack inspired in the language of a native American tribe. They all represent nature and the world that so much excited Darwin.

Van Dyck

To coincide with a new exhibition at London's Tate Gallery, Bidisha and herguests discuss the work of the portrait painter Van Dyck - according to many the greatest artist in 17th-century Britain. His images of the doomed court of Charles I are considered to have profoundly influenced our ideas about the Stuart monarchy, and the programme explores how the artist managed to so powerfully portray a decorous royal elite on the eve of its destruction in the civil war.

Celebrated historian John Brewer investigates arguably one of the most extraordinary detective stories in art history, centring on a painting which became known as the American Leonardo.

Following the British Council's decision to suspend its operations in Iran and parts of Russia, Bidisha and guests explore the future for cultural diplomacy.

Plus an interview with Laurent Cantet, the French film director whose film The Class, a frank depiction of one term in a Parisian inner-city school, won the Palm D'Or at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and has been nominated for an Academy Award.

TUE 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00hld7b)
London Philharmonic and Truls Mork

Ian Skelly presents a concert given at London's Royal Festival Hall, featuring young Canadian conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin directing the London Philharmonic. He was appointed to the position of Principal Guest Conductor after his debut with the orchestra late in 2008.

Truls Mork is soloist in Haydn's C major Cello Concerto, a piece that was believed lost until it turned up in a library in Prague in 1961. This is followed by one of the acknowledged masterpieces of the orchestral repertoire - Bruckner's 7th Symphony, a work inspired by the death of the composer's guiding light, Richard Wagner.

TUE 21:15 Night Waves (b00hld7d)
Clint Eastwood

Matthew Sweet discusses Clint Eastwood's new film Gran Torino - about a disgruntled racist war veteran who befriends a Korean youth - and considers the 78-year-old icon's continuing significance in cinema. Eastwood has acted for 53 years, been a director for 37, won two Academy Awards for direction and two more for best picture, and his career is as strong as ever.

In Gran Torino he directs himself as an unhappy old man, who can't get along with either his kids or his neighbours, a Korean War veteran whose prize possession is a 1972 Ford Gran Torino he keeps in mint condition. When his neighbour, a young Hmong teenager under pressure from his gang-member cousin, tries to steal his car, Eastwood's character sets out to reform the youth. Drawn against his will into the life of the young Korean, he is soon taking steps to protect him from the gangs that infest their neighborhood.

Matthew also talks to writer and theatre producer Michael Kustow about his new book In Search of Jerusalem. It's the chronicle of a seismic year in his life when, shaken by his mother's death and the discovery he has cancer, Kustow finds he must reinvent his beliefs, including his Jewish roots and his attitudes to the Israeli-Arab conflict.

To mark the 40th anniversary of one of the most celebrated BBC series ever, Kenneth Clarke's Civilisation, Night Waves looks back at the story of how the series was made, and asks whether the corporation's arts broadcasting has gone downhill from there.

Plus a look at Treasures of the Black Death - an exhibition at the Wallace Collection displaying hoards of Medieval gold and silver jewellery hidden by Jewish families in France at the time of the Black Death, when Jews were blamed for spreading the disease.

Patrick Tyler

Isabel Hilton talks to veteran US journalist Patrick Tyler about his career reporting from the Middle East, and the changing role America has played in the region over the last four decades. As chief correspondent for The New York Times, Tyler reported from Baghdad on the first Gulf War and covered the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. His book A World of Trouble compares the last ten US administrations and their different relationships with the Middle East. Drawing on years of first-hand experience both close to the circle of power in Washington and on the ground, Tyler charts the emergence of the region as a focus of American national interests and a source of global terrorism.

Plus the first critical reaction to the opening of a new exhibition at the British Museum about the Iranian ruler Shah 'Abbas, which includes exhibits never before seen outside the Islamic Republic.

Handel Operas 2009

Penny Gore introduces another in Radio 3's year-long series of Handel operas. Written in London in 1713, it's a short piece by Handel's standards and follows the repulsive and somewhat inept Roman dictator, Silla.

Due to the fact that some of the music is missing from Handel's score, this performance has filled in the gaps by using material from other operatic works by Handel - who was known to be a great recycler of his own music.

THU 21:15 Night Waves (b00hld83)
The Homecoming

Philip Dodd presents an edition of Night Waves Landmarks devoted to Harold Pinter's play The Homecoming, which first opened in 1965 and, in the eyes of many, confirmed him as Britain's foremost dramatist.

It tells the story of an East End family's reaction to the eldest's son's return from America with his wife, and contains the menacing atmosphere and dark comedy often associated with Pinter's work. The play was first produced on BBC Radio in 1977, and 30 years later in 2007, Harold Pinter himself took on the role of the domineering patriarch Max in a new Radio 3 production.

Philip is joined by Thea Sharrock, Dominic Dromgoole, Roger Michell and Dominic Sandbrook to explore the play and discuss its themes.

BBC Philharmonic Prokofiev Tribute

Fri, 20th Feb 2009 - Part 1

Presented by Catherine Bott.

The BBC Philharmonic continues its Great Russians series with a tribute to Prokofiev conducted by Yutaka Sado, who makes his debut at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall.

Prokofiev wrote his Fifth Symphony after his return to Moscow, declaring it a 'symphony of the greatness of the human spirit' and conducting its first performance in January 1945 amid great patriotic stirring over the Red Army's impending victory over Germany in the Second World War.

Prokofiev: Symphony No 5.


FRI 19:50 Twenty Minutes (b00hldbh)
Happy Endings

Paul Allen explores the allure of the happy ending, looking at the story of the Prokofiev's original version of Romeo and Juliet with composer Gerard McBurney and dance critic Debra Craine. The composer's intended ending of the ballet saw the lovers survive, but Stalin wouldn't countenance this and it was never publicly performed until 2008.

Sonia Massai, Reader in Shakespeare Studies at King's College, London, examines why for 150 years the only version of King Lear theatregoers saw was Nahum Tate's version - in which the old king and Cordelia both survive.

Should a classic always remain untouched, or do such stories have a life - and endings - that can change with the times, tastes and expectations?

FRI 23:15 World on 3 (b00hld8k)
Charlie Gillett

With Charlie Gillett

The programme contains lyrics with some violent imagery.

Charlie Gillett's guest this week is CW Stoneking, a 34-year old Australian whose voice and music suggest the soundworld of America's Deep South in the first half of the 20th-century; a performer described by The Observer's Killian Fox as "listening to an old 78 recovered from a dusty attic in New Orleans". Recorded just before his appearance at the Barbican's Folk America show last month (curated by Seasick Steve), CW dropped in on the BBC Maida Vale studios with his brass-oriented backing band the Primitive Horn Orchestra to play four songs and to chat about his influences which include Blind Willie McTell, Rev. Charles White, Rev. Kelsey and the Mills Brothers.
