Few families have produced three such exceptional musical brothers as Percy, Jimmy and Tootie Heath, a bassist, saxophonist and drummer who have worked at the highest level. On one of their last visits to London before Percy's death in 2005, Alyn Shipton talked to all three of them about their collective and individual careers in jazz, introducing not only the finest albums they made together, but their discs with other musicians as varied as Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Dexter Gordon and Wes Montgomery.
The Heath Brothers band was a legendary ensemble in jazz from the 1970s to the death of bassist Percy Heath in 2005. All three brothers, Percy, saxophonist Jimmy and drummer Tootie, were masters of their art, and there was a collective magic about their appearances together. But in this programme Percy also talks about his work with Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Quartet, Jimmy remembers his earliest records with John Coltrane when they were fellow members of Dizzy Gillespie's band, and Tootie recalls the thrill of accompanying Wes Montgomery and Dexter Gordon. We also hear their work together on the albums 'Triple Threat' and 'As We Were Saying'.

Gainsborough's Georgian England
Thomas Gainsborough had a deep love of music and many of his portraits include musical themes. He was himself a keen amateur player of the gamba and he had many musicians as friends, and feautured them as subjects for his portraits. Catherine Bott meets art historian and author of several books on the artist, Michael Rosenthal of Warwick University, for an exploration of what the Gainsborough portraits tell us about the role of music in the late 18th Century. The programme includes comment about Gainsborough's portraits of Karl Friedrich Abel; Johann Christian Bach; and the Linley family, as well as paintings of some notable amateurs from the English gentry such as William Wollaston and the redoubtable Anne Ford.

Handel Week - Eight Great Suites
Catherine Bott talks to harpsichordist Laurence Cummings about Handel as both a virtuoso keyboard player and composer for the keyboard.
Much of Handel's keyboard music was occasional or improvised, so it is now lost. But soon after he settled in London, a collection called the Eight Great Suites was issued. Laurence has recorded these works in the Handel House Museum in Brook Street, London, and discusses them and plays excerpts.

18th Century Season - Liquid Assets: Tracing Handel's Thousands
Peter Day, BBC Business Correspondent looks at Handel's extraordinary success on the stock market and looks into financial matters involved in putting on operas and oratorios in eighteenth century London.
Handel speculated in the newly formed London stock market throughout his life in the capital. Strikingly, he put money into South Sea stock in 1716 when prices were low and had sold up by 1720 when the South Sea credit bubble burst in one of the great financial cataclysms in fiscal history. Many others lost fortunes, including Sir Isaac Newton, warden of the Royal Mint. Handel profited handsomely and, while others shied away from the uncertainties of speculation, he continued to invest throughout his life. From 1744 Handel's investments just grew and grew.
Talking to Handel experts and financial historians, Peter Day enters the tough economics of eighteenth century music making and visits the Bank of England to see Handel's extravagant signature on numerous ledgers as he traded annuities.
First broadcast in April 2009.

Handel Week - Handel's Divas
Geraldine James and Michael Maloney read extracts from journals, newspapers, letters and poetry of Handel's time about the highs and lows of opera and oratorio performances in London. These are interspersed with music by the composer himself.
In his London operas, Handel provided vehicles for the most famous singers, mostly brought over from Italy. The infamous rivalries between singers such as Senesino, Cuzzoni and Faustina were played out in public.

Exile
Episode 1
Presented by Jonathan Swain.
Series of performances by BBC orchestras featuring music by composers who left their native countries.
Although Stravinsky spent the period from 1914-1918 in Switzerland, unable to return to his native Russia because of his involvement in both the First World War and the Russian Revolution, it was a creative period for him, which produced works like Pulcinella and The Soldier's Tale.
Both Paul Hindemith and Kurt Weill fled Nazi Germany, as the regime not only banned performances of their music, but moved against them personally. Hindemith had naively invited Hitler himself to come and sit in on one of his music tutorials to prove to him he was no threat, but Weill was under no illusions and he fled Germany in March 1933 with just a few of his personal belongings.

Handel Week - Handel Arias and Concerti Grossi
Catherine Bott presents a concert given by the London Handel Orchestra directed by Adrian Butterfield, as part of the 2009 London Handel Festival, marking the 250th anniversary of the composer's death. An annual fixture since 1978, the festival continues to lead the way in the revival of Handel's music in the UK.
Countertenor Daniel Taylor sings some of the best Italian arias written by Handel to showcase the exceptional talents of the castrato, Senesino, who was a big star in his day. Handel helped negotiate his appearances in London, which drew in excited audiences. The programme also features two of Handel's concerti grossi, and a concerto by his friend Telemann.
Handel: Concerto grosso in D, Op 6, No 5; Concerto grosso in C minor, Op 6, No 8
Telemann: Flute concerto in D
Handel: arias - Dove sei (Rodelinda); Cara sposa (Rinaldo); L'Empio (Giulio Cesare); Un zeffiro (Rodelinda); Domero la tua fierezza (Giulio Cesare)

Landmarks: The Norman Conquests
In a Night Waves Landmark programme, Matthew Sweet marks Alan Ayckbourn's 70th birthday with an exploration of his most famous work, the 1974 trilogy The Norman Conquests.
A huge theatrical hit when they were first performed in the early 1970s, each of three plays comprising the Norman Conquests are set in a different rooms of a suburban house over one weekend, and chart the comic relationships between six characters.
The original West End production featured a celebrated cast which included Michael Gambon, Penelope Keith, Felicity Kendall, and Tom Courtenay as the bearded and feckless Norman.
However, successful as Ayckbourn's plays have always been with audiences, there has been a perception from some in the theatrical critical establishment that this was no more than comfortable entertainment. He was not considered worthy of the respect given to a Pinter, Osborne or Hare.
When Kevin Spacey decided to stage The Norman Conquests in 2008 at The Old Vic, it was seen as a risky decision - what amused an audience back in the early 1970s was thought unlikely to hit home today. But the the production was successful with audiences and critics alike. Ayckbourn was reassessed, found to have a core of darkness beneath the comedy and was pronounced to be the 'Chekhov of the Suburbs'.
Matthew and guests examine Ayckbourn's craft, asking: 'What is his critical reputation?'.

Exile
Episode 2
Presented by Jonathan Swain.
Performances by BBC orchestras of music with the theme of displacement, featuring composers who left their native countries.
Stravinsky, who emigrated to America in 1940, settled in California, but found life there completely alien to him. Angry after Walt Disney used his Rite of Spring in Fantasia, he returned to his Russian roots with the Symphony in Three Movements, and its punchy rhythms and harmonies. He had written his most popular works before he left Russia, and while he toured the USA as composer/pianist, there are very few works from his time there.
Martinu and Britten were on the East coast, the former having escaped the pro-Nazi government in Czechoslovakia, and the latter an exile of conscience in a time of war. Walton was never forced into exile by anyone, but perhaps growing up in Oldham, an opportunity to move to an exclusive island in the Mediterranean was just too good a chance to pass up.

Ahead of a concert at the Wigmore Hall, London, soloists of the London Philharmonic Orchestra - including three members of the Garlitsky family - perform works by Dvorak and Brahms in the studio.
And director Katie Mitchell talks about her new multimedia work inspired by Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, which combines live music, theatre and film.

Exile
Episode 3
Presented by Jonathan Swain.
Performances by BBC orchestras of music with the theme of displacement, featuring composers who left their native countries.
With music by Britten, who, unlike Rachmaninov and Martinu, left his home by choice, having objected to Britain's participation in the Second World War, and Milhaud, who was forced to flee Europe as the Nazis overran the continent. He never forgot his roots in rural southern France - as his suite for wind quintet La cheminee du roi Rene shows. But after the war he continued to live and teach in the USA for many years, enjoying travelling backwards between the two countries and cultures.

Handel Week - Alexander's Feast
Presented by Catherine Bott.
As part of a special week of Handel concerts marking the 250th anniversary of the composer's death, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Chorus directed by Richard Egarr perform Alexander's Feast.
Written as a St Cecilia's Day ode to a text by Dryden, it has the alternate title The Power of Music, and follows the long-standing tradition of Purcell, Blow and others in writing choral works celebrating the patron saint of music. It was Handel's first step away from Italian opera, of which London audiences were beginning to grow tired. Here was a new style of dramatic work in English, and it became very popular in his own time.

Handel Week - Handel's Borrowing
Presented by Rana Mitter.
For Radio 3's Handel week, the programme revisits the great debates of the 18th century about artistic originality, asking if the 21st-century arts, riven by arguments about intellectual property in an age of new technology, could learn something from Handel and his artistic peers.
Handel's compositions were littered with borrowings and copying from not only his own work, but other musicians as well. Even by the standards of his day he was liberal with the sources of his inspiration. But for much of 18th century society this didn't matter - there were no obsessions with artistic originality, unlike now. And this very different attitude to originality could be found across the cultural world of the day.
Historian Margaret MacMillan - winner of the Samuel Johnson prize for her book Peacemakers - talks to Rana about her book The Uses and Abuses of History, which explores the way history has been hijacked by individuals and governments, and exaggerated, distorted or suppressed.
MacMillan argues that post-war Germany's attempts to deal with Nazism was exemplary, unlike Turkey's treatment of its Armenian past, and asks whether governments should apologise for the sins of the past? MacMillan urges us to treat the past with care and respect.

Handel Week - Italian Cantatas
Presented by Catherine Bott.
The English Concert perform Handel's Italian cantatas at the Foundling Museum, in the picture gallery hung with portraits of the composer. Handel put on fund-raising performances of the Messiah at the Foundling Hospital, which provided homes for abandoned children, and went on to become its governor.
The programme begins with an early concerto grosso and the soprano cantata in which a male lover laments the cruelty of the woman he loves. These are followed by the serenata Apollo e Dafne. Apollo woos the nymph Dafne, but although he tries very hard, she resists his advances. He persists, but the attention becomes too much, and she takes irrevocable action.

The English National Opera and London's Young Vic have reworked Purcell's opera Dido into an original work involving singers and actors using cameras, lights and sound effects, while the full score is performed live. After Dido tells the story of four Londoners on the night of a live anniversary radio broadcast of the Purcell opera, directed by Kate Mitchell. Theatre critic Susannah Clapp discusses the work with Philip Dodd.

Plus Exile:
Jonathan Swain presents BBC orchestras performing music with the theme of displacement, featuring composers who left their native countries.
Including works by Chopin and Heine - whose text Schumann set in his song cycle Dichterliebe - who knew each other in Paris in the 1820s, one being an exile from his Polish homeland, the other having fled from his Jewish birthright and German countrymen.
Plus a work by Bartok, who, because of the outbreak of the Second World War, fled Europe for America, where he was decidely unhappy. Ill-health and neglect led to his death in 1945, and he left behind an incomplete viola concerto.

Handel Week - Jephtha
Presented by Catherine Bott.
In a concert given at the London Handel Festival to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer's death, the London Handel Singers and Orchestra perform the oratorio Jephtha. One of Handel's most heartfelt and dramatic such works, it was the last major piece he composed before his sight failed.
John Mark Ainsley is Jephtha, who has an impossible decision to make - he has promised to make a sacrifice to God of the first person he sees if he returns home victorious from battle. The first person to appear is his daughter, Iphis. His personal agony is hauntingly described by Handel, as is her calm acceptance of her fate, in music of great emotional depth.
During the interval, Sarah Walker visits the Handel House Museum and its exhibition.
