Ensemble Inegal at Cesky Krumlov
Lucie Skeaping presents a concert given by the Czech soprano Gabriela Eibenova with the Prague-based Ensemble Inegal under the baton of their founder Adam Viktoria. The concert was recorded at the astonishing castle at Cesky Krumlov in southern Bohemia, near the Austrian border.
It features one of Vivaldi's 230 violin concertos, performed by the ensemble's leader Adela Stajnochrova as well as his beautiful setting of the Salve regina. The main focus of the concert is music by local composer Johann Brentner, whose name has all but dropped out of the repertoire outside his native Bohemia. Gabriela Eibenova performs five of Brentner's 12 sacred arias, published in 1720 as his Op 3 (Hymnodia divina).
Johann Brentner: O beata, per quam data (Hymnodia divina, Op 3); Cor aude ad arma; In te confido (Hymnodia divina, Op 3); Concerto No 4 in G (Horae pomeridianae, Op 4)
Vivaldi: Salve Regina, RV617; Violin Concerto in B flat, RV383

Salvado
The story of a remarkable encounter between Spanish monks and the native inhabitants of Western Australia in the mid 19th Century.
In 1846 Spanish bishop, Rosendo Salvado arrived in the Australian outback to establish New Norcia, a Benedictine monastery. Despite the intention of the mission to bring salvation to the "savages", records show that Salvado's interest and respect for the indigenous Nyangara, though patronising, was truly enlightened for the time.
This programme reveals Salvado's views on the Nyangara people, customs, and music, as documented in his memoirs. We also hear reconstructions of the Aboriginal New Norcia String Orchestra, Brass Band, and Choir. The programme features the sounds of the bush and the acoustics of the New Norcia monastery.
Produced by Jon Rose.

Berlin New Music Scene
1989: Twentieth Anniversary
As part of BBC Radio 3's season of programmes marking the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Ivan Hewett reports on the city's vibrant new music scene today. He speaks to musicians from the old East, composer Helmut Oehring and ensemble director Thomas Bruns; and from the old West side, composers Enno Poppe and Reinhold Friedl, and festival director Matthias Osterwold. British composer Rebecca Saunders, who has settled in the city, proves that Berlin is still a magnet for foreign musicians. And from the new Noise scene, Sudden Infant explains why, in Berlin, noise is beautiful.

The Baroque Theatre of Cesky Krumlov
Lucie Skeaping visits the Baroque Theatre of Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic, where she is given a guided tour of the auditorium, backstage areas and museum by the theatre historian Iain Mackintosh. The theatre - part of Cesky Krumlov castle - was built in 1766 to celebrate the wedding of Prince Adam von Schwarzenburg, and is recognised as arguably the best-preserved example of baroque theatre spaces in Europe. The original trompe l'oeil painting throughout is quite breathtaking, and the detailed set designs, costumes and working machinery are remarkable. Music is taken from disc, and includes works by Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Rameau, Zach, Myslivecek, Tuma and Mozart.
First broadcast in March 2009.

Brahms String Quartet in B Flat, Op 67
In a programme coming from the University of Cumbria in Ambleside as part of the Lake Disctrict Summer Music Festival 2009, Stephen Johnson explores Brahms's third and final string quartet in B flat, Op 67, written in 1876 soon after he completed his First Symphony. Brahms's previous quartets, Op 51 Nos 1 and 2, suggest a more classical model and have more of his symphonic drama, but a striking element of the writing in Op 67 is its more conversational or dialogue style.
Stephen is joined by the Kuss Quartet, who illustrate with excerpts and give a complete performance of the quartet.

The Muse of Censorship
1989: Twentieth Anniversary
While Europe marks the twentieth anniverary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, David Vaughan and Dariusz Rosiak focus on Poland and the Czech Republic, examining whether artistic achievement collapsed along with Communism in 1989. They focus on two famous centres of artistic activity - Warsaw and Prague - and talk to Czech and Polish writers and artists.
Vaughan, who was the editor of Radio Prague for many years, meets artists who were active in the Communist era such as author Ivan Klima, who says he was, in a way, entirely free. His work was banned, so he could write what he liked. Veteran screenwriter Jiri Stransky was sent to prison - and a uranium mine - and that, he says, was his education, as his fellow prisoners were the brightest and most creative of his generation. Stransky is delighted to have survived to taste the freedom relished too by Petra Hulova who, because she could go abroad, did so, setting her best-known novel in Mongolia.
Vaughan also meets novelist and film-maker Tereza Brdeckova, one of whose characters suffers a nervous breakdown following the Velvet Revolution. She feels that censorship persists today in aspects of Czech history that are difficult to discuss. Theatre director Ondraj Hrab and Jitka Sloupova, Vaclav Havel's literary agent and Tom Stoppard's Czech translator, talk about rebuilding a theatre audience when drama stopped being the centre of political debate. And he meets sculptor David Cerny, famous for painting the Monument to Soviet tank crews pink.
In Warsaw, Darius Rosiak, one of Poland's best-known radio journalists, talks to Agnieszka Holland, one of Poland's most prominent film-makers who made To Kill A Priest, about the 1984 murder of Polish priest Father Popieluszko by the secret police.
Another artist active in the Communist era was Janusz Glowacki, a 71-year-old playwright. In 1980, he went to Gdansk to spend time with the striking ship-yard workers at the birth of the Solidarity trade union. He wrote a novel, Give Us the Day, about the experience, which was banned by the censors, but published underground.
Tomasz Lipinski is a singer and guitarist from the new wave punk group Brygada Kryzys (Crisis Brigade). He says he got into music to say things that otherwise could not be said under the system. This all changed in 1989, when some bands were able to use their opposition credentials for commercial success. Under Communism the world was, in many ways, black and white, but now life is much more complex and ambiguous.
This is something also explored by 36-year-old Wilhelm Sasnal, considered by many to be the leading painter of his generation and one of the most celebrated artists from Eastern Europe. He exhibits regularly in the West and many of his works hang in the Saatchi Gallery in London. He was 16 when Communism ended and says it has made him tougher because in the 1970s and 80s they had to fight for everything. Sasnal certainly would not have been able to have such a successful career, earn so much and travel so widely, before the fall of Communism.
These two portraits of the cultural ecology of Warsaw and Prague reveal how artists in Eastern Europe are, after struggling with totaliarianism, grappling with the challenges of freedom.
SUN 22:15 Words and Music (b00np293)
Berlin
1989: Twentieth Anniversary
Berlin may not be as beautiful as Paris; it may not have the brash allure of Rome or even London's muscularity; but no one can think of the twentieth century without thinking of Germany's capital. It was on the front line between two of the most powerful ideologies of modern times - communism and capitalism. It was Hitler's stage when he seized power in 1933, and now it stands poised between a resurgent Russia in the East and a Europe forging a new identity in the West.
Actors Henry Goodman and Liz Sutherland read poems and prose to evoke the city's history, alongside a rich array of music. Including Strauss, Mendelssohn and Eisler, as well as Weill and U2. With readings by Alfred Doblin, Joseph Roth, Bertolt Brecht, Gunter Grass, Peter Schneider and Nazim Hikmet.

Erik Satie (1866-1925)
Gymnopediste
Irascible. Irreverent. Infuriating. He's the author of one of the most famous - and beautiful - piano pieces ever written. Yet away from the famous Gymnopédie, Erik Satie still divides opinion like no other composer.
In today's episode, Donald Macleod explores Satie's early life - from his youth in the sleepy seaside town of Honfleur to the boozy dives of bohemian Montmartre...and that trio of Gymnopédies, written at the tender age of 20.

Berlin Wall 20th Anniversary
1989: Twentieth Anniversary
Part of BBC Radio 3's series of performances marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, featuring German orchestras from both sides of the wall and revolutionary music. Presented by Penny Gore.
On Christmas Day 1989, Leonard Bernstein with soloists and an orchestra made up of musicians from both sides of the Berlin Wall performed Beethoven's 9th Symphony in East Berlin. For the event, Schiller's 'Ode to Joy' - the text sung in the final movement - had one word changed: Freude (Joy) became Freiheit (Freedom).
And after the performance, the symbolic Brandenburg Gate in the heart of the city was reopened for the first time and musicians, audience and crowds alike walked under its great arch. Berlin was once again a single city. Mezzo-soprano Sarah Walker, who took part in the performance, gives her recollections of the event.

Berlin Wall 20th Anniversary Debate
1989: Twentieth Anniversary
Philip Dodd presents a debate from Berlin to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of Wall. He is joined by a round-table of writers, journalists and artists to ask: has the loss of the wall left a gaping hole in German intellectual life which has yet to be filled?
The Berlin Wall divided Germany, divided families and divided East and West Europe. The collapse of the Communist state, with its Stasi apparatus and the reunification of Germany were momentous events. But ironically, has the Wall's removal also removed a central focus for Germany's thinkers? Is it true that it acted as the linchpin for a whole host of powerful books, films, articles, plays grappling with what it meant to be German - in both East and West - and the 20 years since have not thrown up an equally powerful preoccupation to understand the nation? Or is there a new alternative?
Philip's guests in Berlin include celebrated Dresden-born novelist Ingo Schulze, who made his name writing about eastern Germany in the aftermath of the Wall's destruction, and historian of Germany Karen Leeder.

MON 23:00 The Essay (b00nplsl)
The World Turned Upside Down
Valeria Toth
Passports, garden chairs, cars or contraceptives. Four essayists from former Warsaw Pact nations reflect on the changing use and meaning of an apparently banal object - an object that unlocks a wider story about how daily life in their country was transformed by the dramatic events of 1989.
In today's programme, the Hungarian journalist Valeria Toth measures out her life in passports. We hear of the multiple passports of communist Hungary, including red for travel to Warsaw Pact nations, blue for travel outside the Soviet bloc and red with a blue stamp for non-aligned Yugoslavia. Special one-way passports are used to expel troublesome citizens and passport anxiety continues into 1989, when thousands of East Germans enter Hungary and the ditch beside the border fills with discarded passports. Finally, a new era dawns in which - unthinkably - it's even possible to occasionally forget your passport.
Producer: Julia Johnson.

Erik Satie (1866-1925)
Monsieur Le Pauvre
In the 1890s, Satie reinvented himself as a holy man - a self-imposed outcast from the 'wicked' musical establishment. After a brief spell as the composer for a Christian cult, he set up his own church, studied mystical volumes in Paris's National Library, and penned vitriolic articles in his own magazine (average circulation: 1).
Donald Macleod introduces the music of this 'mystic' period, including the infamous Vexations - a short piece which the pianist is apparently instructed to repeat 840 times - and the rare, almost Zen-like ballet Uspud.

Berlin Wall 20th Anniversary
Episode 2
1989: Twentieth Anniversary
Part of BBC Radio 3's series of performances marking the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, featuring German orchestras from both sides of the wall and revolutionary music. Presented by Penny Gore.
Leipzig, home to Bach and Mendelssohn among others, was one of the key East German centres of popular protest in 1989 in the lead up to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra performs a revolutionary symphony by Beethoven - his Eroica - at the time, the longest symphony ever written. It was originally dedicated to Napoleon, who Beethoven saw as the saviour of a rational republican Europe, but when Napoleon crowned himself Emperor, the composer destroyed the dedication.
Berlioz wrote his Grande symphonie funebre et triomphale to celebrate the anniversary of the arrival of another leader of France - Louis Philippe, the so-called Citizen King who came to the French throne after the 1830 Revolution, and he led France until the next series of European revolutions in 1848. Louis-Philippe was the last king to rule in France.
Some other revolutionary leaders were not so lucky: Jan Huss, Taras Bulba and Stepan Razin meet their ends as depicted in music by Dvorak, Janacek and Shostakovich.

Steven Soderbergh/Steven Levitt/Hockney Retrospective
Matthew Sweet interviews film-maker Steven Soderbergh whose voluminous back catalogue includes Che, Ocean's Eleven, Erin Brockovich, Traffic, The Good German and Solaris. His latest comedy, The informant!, stars Matt Damon as a company executive and unreliable guide to the price fixing scandal and FBI investigation enveloping his own corporation. In the interview Soderbergh talks about how he works, looks back over his contradictory output and discusses how, coming from the entertainment industry, the idea of corporate corruption holds no suprises for him.
Matthew also meets Steven Levitt, who co-authored the book Freakonomics, which changed the way economics was viewed. His follow up Superfreakonomics hopes to do the same. Writer Bryan Appleyard joins them to discuss the books' thesis that microeconomics can explain human behaviour. Superfreakonomics also explores technical solutions to climate change like geo-engineering. One propsed solution is a 'stratoshield' - a device like a garden hose that extends a hundred thousand feet up into the air and spritzes out sulphur dioxide to cool temperatures. Find out what this has to do with economics as we know it...
New arts venue Nottingham Contemporary opens with the first retrospective of David Hockney's early work since the 1970s. At 3,000 square metres and designed by architects Caruso St John, Nottingham Contemporary is among the largest contemporary art centres in the UK. It has four galleries - lit by 132 skylights - plus spaces for performance and film and has been partly excavated from the sandstone cliff it hugs. Matthew visits the centre to see the building and takes a tour of its spaces with the venue's director Alex Farquharson. He also reviews, with art critic Sarah Kent, the David Hockney exhbitition. It includes work from 1961 to 1968 when Hockney experimented with a range of styles and subject matter, not least an exploration of his crush on pop star Cliff Richard.

TUE 23:00 The Essay (b00npmbp)
The World Turned Upside Down
Jana Scholze
Passports, garden chairs, cars or contraceptives. Four essayists from former Warsaw Pact nations reflect on the changing use and meaning of an apparently banal object - an object that unlocks a wider story about how daily life in their country was transformed by the dramatic events of 1989.
In today's programme, the furniture curator Jana Scholze remembers her life in communist East Germany and the true meaning of garden furniture.
Producer: Julia Johnson.

Erik Satie (1866-1925)
Le Fantaisiste
In 1905, Satie renounced his bohemian lifestyle and decided, rather improbably...to go back to school, at the tender age of 39. After two years of hard graft, he graduated with flying colours - and with typical perversity, set about composing some of the most surreal piano works ever written...
In today's episode, Donald Macleod explores his famously eccentric character, as expressed in works like Desiccated Embryos and the six 'monkey dances' from his Dadaist opera Medusa's Snare. He ends with Satie's most famous stage work - the irreverent ballet Parade.

Berlin Wall 20th Anniversary
Berlin Wall 20th Anniversary
1989: Twentieth Anniversary
Presented by Penny Gore.
Series of performances marking the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, featuring German orchestras from both sides of the wall and revolutionary music.
The Dresden Staatskapelle is one of the oldest orchestras in the world, founded in 1548, and it has seen plenty of drama in its time, none more so than when it emerged from the former East Germany in 1989. Leading young conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin conducts the orchestra in Brahms's Double Concerto with violinist Julian Rachlin and cellist Mischa Maisky.
Elsewhere, Lenin is the link in Shostakovich's Symphony No 12 (The Year 1917), commemorating the Russian Revolution, and Mussorgsky's Songs and Dance of Death. Mussorgsky was inspired by his friend, the socialist revolutionary Nikolay Chernyshevsky, whose novel What Is to Be Done? had a marked influence on a young Lenin on the road to revolution in Russia.

Stephen Poliakoff/The White Ribbon/Michael Goldfarb
Matthew Sweet talks to film-maker Stephen Poliakoff, whose latest work, Glorious 39, is a thriller set on the cusp of the Second World War and examines how close the British Establishment came to finding an accomodation with Hitler. A film with Poliakoff's trademark visual richness, Glorious 39 also contains his perennial interest in the strangeness of families and the dazzling lure of the British aristocracy. Most of all it forces us to look hard at a point in British history when Churchill's defiance, the Battle of Britain and the subsequent national story of hardship, spirit and victory was far from inevitable. Indeed, the majority of British political opinion was set towards finding peace at all costs. Poliakoff also discusses the limitations of British TV, arguing about the film-maker's responsibility to history and upbraiding the British for their continuing complacency over the horrors and the legacy of the Second World War.
There also a review of The White Ribbon, the new film by one of Europe's leading directors, Michael Haneke. Haneke has established a reputation as a director who explores the violent and brutal events that lie just beneath the surface of everyday life. The film, shot in black-and-white, promises to continue this vein, tracing life in a buttoned-up village in Protestant Northern Germany in the years before the First World War. It won the Palme D' Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
Plus the last of writer Michael Goldfarb's essays on the impact of the events of 1989.

Erik Satie (1866-1925)
Two Masterpieces
Donald Macleod introduces two works widely regarded as Satie's greatest, plus a rare miniature for violin and piano, The Embarkation For Cythera.
The brilliant suite of vignettes Sports Et Divertissements was commissioned to accompany a volume of artworks. Originally turned down by Stravinsky, Satie almost rejected the project - as he felt the fee offered was too handsome.
Socrate is generally considered the composer's masterpiece - a unique, poignant, stunningly beautiful work for voices and chamber orchestra, setting Plato's account of the death of Socrates.

Handel Operas 2009
As part of BBC Radio 3's complete cycle of Handel's operas, Penny Gore presents a performance of Berenice, Queen of Egypt, with Rudolph Palmer conducting the Brewer Chamber Orchestra in a recording from 1994.
The work plays revenge and conflict against love in a Roman-controlled Egypt, where Queen Berenice of Egypt is told by the senate in Rome to marry a young Roman, Alessandro, instead of her intended, the rival Egyptian Prince Demetrio. But he secretly prefers Berenice's sister Selene, and is plotting to desert the queen and use the marriage to seize the Egyptian throne, while the powerful backing of Rome threatens them all.
Penny is joined by countertenor and conductor Jonathan Peter Kenny, who has good news for the future of Premier League football, and conductor Alan Curtis who is currently making a new recording of Berenice in Italy.

Inside the Revolution
1989: Twentieth Anniversary
Nick Thorpe, the BBC's Central Europe correspondent, reads from his book '89: The Unfinished Revolution, with excerpts from audio tapes he made in the final days of communism in Prague and East Germany.
Having moved to Budapest as a peace activist three years earlier, Thorpe spent 1989 'revolution-hopping' - reporting on the dying days of communist regimes among the people of Budapest, Prague, East Germany and Romania.
He recounts his experiences in the heart of the revolutions in the former Czechoslovakia and East Germany - from Prague's famous student protests to the Leipzig church where the East German revolution kick-started, providing a moving insight into the people and places behind the protests. And he gives a unique view of the environmental problems facing both countries, including the wood-carvers in the Ore Mountains for whom communist policies had had a disastrous effect on the local forest.

Free Thinking 2009
In a lecture entitled Newfangled Families, delivered to an audience at BBC Radio 3's Free Thinking festival at the Sage, Gateshead, Prof Lisa Jardine argues that the science of reproduction will create some of the century's most challenging ethical dilemmas, unleashing profound moral choices and complex emotions. And, as a historian, she reflects on the lessons from the ethical dilemmas of the past. Presented by Rana Mitter.
Lisa Jardine is one of Britain's most prominent public intellectuals. She is a professional historian, regular broadcaster and is chair of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority - a controversial job for any public figure.

The World Turned Upside Down
Ivan Kytka
Passports, garden chairs, cars or contraceptives. Four essayists from former Warsaw Pact nations reflect on the changing use and meaning of an apparently banal object - an object that unlocks a wider story about how daily life in their country was transformed by the dramatic events of 1989.
In today's programme the journalist Ivan Kytka reflects on the importance of cars in communist Czechoslovakia.

Erik Satie (1866-1925)
Le Maitre
By the early 1920s, Satie was the toast of Paris. Having been spotted by the legendary impresario Jean Cocteau, he found himself working with the likes of Picasso and hailed by a new generation as "the Prince Of Musicians". The composer had also invented "furniture music" - designed to work unnoticed as interior decoration, a little like modern muzak.
Donald Macleod introduces Satie's momentous last decade, featuring two rare fanfares for trumpet and a song written in memory of the composer's greatest friend and colleague, Claude Debussy. The week ends with Satie's remarkable Entr'acte Cinematographique, the first ever film music to be written frame-by-frame, and a startling precursor of minimalism.

Berlin Wall 20th Anniversary
Episode 4
1989: Twentieth Anniversary
Series of performances marking the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, featuring German orchestras from both sides of the wall and revolutionary music.
The Berlin Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel perform works by Rachmaninov and Stravinsky. Conductor Kurt Masur reflects on how close protesters in the East German city of Leipzig came to tragedy and conducts Beethoven's incidental music to Goethe's play Egmont. Beethoven depicts in music Goethe's libertarian hero Count Egmont, his faith in his fellow man and his resolute opposition to tyranny.
The link stays literary with Liszt's tone poem Tasso - Lamento e Trionfo. Torquato Tasso was a 16th-century Italian poet and the subject of works by both Goethe and Lord Byron, who, in turn, is the inspiration behind Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony.

English Chamber Orchestra/Paul Watkins
Petroc Trelawny presents a concert given at London's Cadogan Hall by the English Chamber Orchestra under the baton of its new music director Paul Watkins.
The concert opens with the magical fairy world of Mendelssohn's Overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream followed by the turbulent dreams of Britten's Nocturne for tenor, strings and seven obligato instruments. Watkins shows his talent as a virtuoso cellist in one of CPE Bach's cello concertos, ahead of Mozart's last symphony, the Jupiter, regarded as one of the great works of classical music.

Martha Wainwright/Paul Durcan/Writing in Old Age/Halldor Laxness
Ian McMillan presents Radio 3's weekly cabaret of the word.
Martha Wainwright sings Piaf
Wainwright was introduced to Edith Piaf when she and brother Rufus found their mother's stash of the great singer's records. Her bilingual upbringing in Montreal has undoubtedly helped her get to grips with Piaf's lyrics, but - she tells Ian - she still feels the need to avoid famous tracks like La Vie En Rose in favour of more obscure treasures. Martha's latest album is Sans Fusils, Ni Souliers, A Paris: Martha Wainwright's Piaf Record.
Paul Durcan

Verb Guide to... the world's oldest published authors
Following his investigation of the youthful publishing efforts of Lucretia Maria Davidson, Marjory Fleming and HP Lovecraft, Toby Litt turns his attention to writing in old age, with a look at the work of George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett and Stanley Kunitz.
Lost Laureate
When Icelandic novelist Halldor Laxness won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1955, the Nobel academy credited him with renewing 'the Icelandic language as an artistic means of expression'. Still much-loved in Scandinavia, his novels - including Independent People and The Atom Station - are little known in the UK. His biographer, Halldor Gudmundsson, tells the story of an author determined to put Iceland on the literary map.

The World Turned Upside Down
Kataryna Wolczuk
Passports, garden chairs, cars or contraceptives. Four essayists from former Warsaw Pact nations reflect on the changing use and meaning of an apparently banal object - an object that unlocks a wider story about how daily life in their country was transformed by the dramatic events of 1989.
In today's programme the Polish academic Kataryna Wolczuk presents a personal view of contraception, women's rights and the importance of calendars in Poland, both before and after the collapse of communism.
Producer: Julia Johnson.
