Mark How the Lark and Linnet Sing

The "freshwater pearl" voice of soprano Tessa Bonner, who died little more than a year ago, lent itself equally to baroque solo repertoire and Tudor polyphony.

SAT 15:00 World Routes (b00qn1ly)
World Routes in Istanbul

Selim Sesler, troubadour songs and an Alevi ceremony

Istanbul is a European Capital of Culture for 2010 and in the first of two programmes Moshe Morad goes in search of traditional music in this melting-pot of peoples and cultures. Including a live session at Badehane's bar with gypsy clarinettist Selim Sesler, troubadour songs recorded in one of the city's oldest hamams, and a rare recording of an Alevi ceremony. A minority branch of Shia Islam, the Alevis controversially believe in equality between men and women, and meet once a week for music and mass-wailing.
Istanbul is a rich and diverse meeting point for musicians in Turkey, and it's a city where you can find every type of Turkish traditional music represented. It's also a cross-roads between Europe and Asia, East and West. Moshe Morad explores this rich mix and records sessions with many of Turkey's top musicians – including one of the best clarinettists in the world (Selim Sesler), and Saz player Cengiz Ozkan. The music and the city are brought to life in a number of atmospheric settings such as the 15th Century bath-house Cemberlitas, an Alebi ceremony and the tiny bar called Badehane - in a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle of Taksim, it's where Selim Sesler has played every Wednesday night for nearly a decade. Moshe learns about some of Turkey's best-loved traditional instruments such as the kamanche and the saz, hears the stories behind the music, and finds out from the people who live there what Istanbul means to them. Is this vibrant city an island in Turkey, is it in Europe or Asia, and is it secular or religious?

Presented by Moshe Morad

SAT 16:00 Jazz Library (b00qn1m0)
Keith Tippett

Pianist Keith Tippett is a musician of extraordinary breadth and vision. His projects range from the vast 50-piece orchestra Centipede - so large it had its own private plane for touring - to introspective improvised solo concerts. He joins Alyn Shipton to pick the highlights of a recorded catalogue that spans over forty years, and which not only contains his ensembles large and small, but several surprises as well.

Keith Tippett is one of Britain's most inventive musicians, although nowadays he something of a prophet without honour in his own land, celebrated in Europe, but performing infrequently at home. This edition of Jazz Library demonstrates just what local audiences have been missing, in a fascinating spread of music in which Tippett handles sprawling big bands with the same sureness of touch as he applies to his own piano playing. The programme includes his large groups Tapestry, Ark and Centipede, his current band Mujician, the celebratory Dedication Orchestra which commemorates the cream of South African jazz players, and Keith's long musical partnership with his wife, Julie Tippetts, who was formerly known as the pop singer Julie Driscoll, with her top ten hit for Brian Auger "Wheels on Fire".

SAT 18:00 Opera on 3 (b00qn1m4)
Live from the Met

Donizetti's La fille du regiment

In tonight's Live from the Met Diana Damrau stars as Marie, the daughter of the 21st regiment of the French army. She's in love with Tonio, but won't marry him because he's not in the regiment, so the only option is for him to enlist. Meanwhile, Marie's long-lost mother has other plans for her romantic future.

Donizetti's La Fille du Régiment combines comedy with some famously virtuosic vocal writing, including Tonio's aria which includes no fewer than nine top C's, sung tonight by Juan Diego Flórez. And the production includes Kiri Te Kanawa in the speaking role of the Duchess of Krakenthorp.

Presented by Margaret Juntwait with guest commentator Ira Siff.

Marie: Diana Damrau (soprano)
Tonio: Juan Diego Flórez (tenor)
Marquise de Berkenfeld: Meredith Arwady (contralto)

SAT 22:00 Pre-Hear (b00qx4xf)
Laurence Crane, Michael Nyman

As a prelude to tonight's edition of Hear and Now, Pre-Hear festures music by two composers associated with the English experimentalist tradition. Michael Nyman has carved a niche for himself with his personal take on driven minimalist textures, and the characteristic sound of his 'outdoor' band has defined his music as like no other. At the other end of the spectrum, Laurence Crane's enigmatic miniatures seem to float outside time, relishing sweet and astringent harmonies for their own sake.

Laurence Crane: Kierkegaards
Michael Finnissy, piano

Michael Nyman: 3 Quartets
Michael Nyman Band.


SAT 22:30 Hear and Now (b00qn1mb)
George Benjamin

Tom Service presents a 50th birthday celebration for George Benjamin, one of the UK's finest musicians, recorded at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall last weekend. In a concert showcasing his talents as composer, conductor, coach, performer and collaborator he will direct works including Palimpsests, and play the solo piece Piano Figures.

Watch "Viola, Viola" (link below)

George Benjamin: Piano Figures
George Benjamin: Viola Viola
George Benjamin: At First Light
George Benjamin: A Mind of Winter
George Benjamin: Palilmpsests

Claire Booth soprano
Paul Silverthorne viola
Eniko Magyar viola
Royal Academy of Music Manson Ensemble
London Sinfonietta
George Benjamin (conductor/piano)

Written for London Sinfonietta, At First Light is a classic illustration of Benjamin's dazzling sonic landscapes. The world of Turner's painting 'Norham Castle, Sunrise' is stunningly evoked through musical colours, textures and inventive harmonies.

A Mind of Winter illustrates a different side to Benjamin's musical flair, of setting voice with orchestral ensemble, as the soprano blends with the crystalline world of Wallace Stevens' poem The Snow Man. This performance of A Mind of Winter also highlights Benjamin's skills as a distinguished coach. The next generation of performers from the Royal Academy of Music Manson Ensemble will take their place on stage alongside London Sinfonietta.

The concert ends with the explosive orchestral Palimpsests, a gripping and dynamic work fusing violent brass against translucent wind and strings.

The Symphonie

The Early Music discovers the origins of Symphony, as part of Radio 3's month long celebration.
We all know what is now called a Symphony, but the term has had many varied uses. Lucie Skeaping tracks down the origins of the Symphonie and encounters medieval hurdy-gurdys, spinets and virginals, a tale that the dulcimer is as old as the Bible and a royal wedding, not to mention a whole host of overtures, interludes, sonatas, canzonas and concertos.

North and South

North

with Suzy Klein

"North"

The idea of north occupies Suzy this morning, as she sets off up an imaginary musical M1 to discover music associated with the north, inspired by it, or having its roots 'up there'. "North" though is a relative term, so expect some musical surprises among contributions from Glenn Gould, Sibelius, Donizetti, and ... Peter Sculthorpe.

SUN 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00qn3jc)
Marguerite of Austria

Catherine Bott presents a programme telling the unfortunate tale of Marguerite of Austria, ill-fated in love and marriage but who was a pre-eminent patron of the arts. At the age of 2, Marguerite was betrothed to the 13-year old dauphin of France, the future Charles VIII, and she moved to France at the age of 3 in 1483. 8 years later though she returned home, humiliated that Charles had married Anne of Brittany instead. In 1497 Marguerite married Juan of Spain but he died 6 months later; after a few years she married Philibert de Savoie but this marriage too ended with his untimely death 3 years later. Soon afterwards Marguerite also lost her brother, Philippe de Beau, leaving 4 children and a mentally ill wife. Music and literature flourished at her court, as well as the visual arts, and Marguerite established a very impressive library of manuscripts and books. Poets and scholars dedicated works to her and she also wrote poetry herself, often lamenting her misfortunes, and titles such as 'regrets' or 'complaintes' dominate her collection of chansons. Several notable composers worked at her court, in particular Pierre de la Rue, and the music in the programme includes compositions that appeared in some of her manuscripts by Ockeghem, Agricola, Josquin and de la Rue.

SUN 17:00 Discovering Music (b00qn3kb)
The Romantic Horn

The sound of the horn took on a special significance to the Romantic composers of the early 19th century with its suggestions of woodland magic and heroism. Charles Hazlewood deconstructs music by Weber, Mendelssohn and Schumann with the BBC Concert Orchestra, in an exploration of an instrument which achieved iconic status and came very much into its own when conveying the spirit of early Romanticism. Also helping Charles in his exploration are the hornists Stephen Bell and Michael Thompson.
Charles looks at Weber's Overture to the opera Oberon; Mendelssohn's Nocturne from A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Schumann's formidable Konzertstuck for four horns, the latter being a piece that also exploited the Romantic fascination for virtuosity.
The programme was recorded before an audience in Watford.

SUN 22:00 Sunday Feature (b00qn3mt)
Sinan the Magnificent

Koca Mimar Sinan was court architect to one of the most powerful dynasties the world has known: the Ottoman Empire in the sixteenth century. Responsible for some four hundred sublime and inventive buildings throughout Turkey, the Balkans and the Middle East he is virtually unknown in the West. Why is this?

Architectural journalist Jonathan Glancey tells Sinan's astonishing story.

Born a Christian in crumbling Anatolia, Sinan converted to Islam and was taken into the Janissary Corps which fought to extend the Ottoman Empire. He participated in the campaign for Rhodes in the 1520s, learning to build rapidly and well - catapults, mosques and caravanserais, all the structures a vast army needed. The experience would stand him in good stead when he became chief architect to Sultan Suleiman I soon after.

Sinan's best known work is perhaps the Suleiman Mosque in Istanbul. But he also created madrassas, bathhouses and viaducts. Influenced by the Byzantine buildings that surrounded him in Constantinople, it is also likely that he had contact with the designs of Renaissance figures including Michelangelo, who was his contemporary. But did the artistic dialogue go both ways? Did Sinan's reputation reach into Western Europe through the strong links between the Ottoman Empire and Italy in particular? It's a tantalizing thought which the programme explores.

Producer:
Jane Beresford.


SUN 22:45 Words and Music (b00qn3p3)
Occidental as well as oriental - Turkey has often been disputed territory. It's the site of Homer's Troy; much of Xenophon's famous expedition takes place on its soil; and the country and its people have attracted admirers like the poets Yeats and John Ash as well as detractors like T.E.Lawrence. Byron as well as Lady Wortley Montagu have fallen under the spell of its customs and more recent visitors such as Rose Macaulay and Neal Ascherson have been both beguiled and bemused by their experience of the country.There's music to match from Mozart, Dave Brubeck, Arvo Part and Cantemir and the actors Ruth Wilson and Toby Jones are ready to set sail for Byzantium and beyond.


SUN 23:45 Jazz Line-Up (b00qn3p5)
Jamie Cullum

Every time Jamie Cullum releases an album it demonstrates his wide musical tastes and improvisational skills. This week's Jazz Line-Up features an exclusive set for this programme where he performs tracks from his previous albums and showcases his current rhythm section including Chris Hill on Bass, and Brad Webb on Drums.
He talks openly about his approach to Jazz, where his sits musically at the moment and his future plans. Claire joins him on one of Cullum's own composition "Love Ain't Gonna' Let You Down " on background vocals and illustrates his current writing on the album 'The Pursuit'.
Jamie leaves us in no doubt that Jazz is not standing still and he is there with his loyal audience to prove it.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00qn3s3)
Bebop

Episode 1

Bebop! It's a rather silly word for a crucial chapter in jazz history. It didn't just come out of nowhere but evolved, fizzed and bubbled into existence in the USA in the early 1940s, as a result of a gloriously rich and complex musical chemistry involving different combinations of musicians, styles and places. All week, Donald Macleod and his special guest, the writer and broadcaster Geoffrey Smith, have some serious fun investigating this amazing musical phenomenon.

In Monday's programme they start by exploring the roots of Bebop in the work of a varied cast of pioneers: pianist Art Tatum, guitarist Charlie Christian, tenor sax players Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins and trumpeter Roy Eldridge. Then it's off to Minton's Playhouse, the after-hours Harlem club and all-purpose Bebop laboratory, where some of the most innovative jazz musicians of the day let their hair down and jammed together into the small hours, gradually forging the new style through their collective experimentation. Finally, the two central figures of the Bebop revolution emerge from the crowd - alto sax player Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie - first separately, in earlier, pre-Bop incarnations, then playing together, explosively, in two early Bebop classics, 'Groovin' High' and 'Salt Peanuts'.


MON 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00qn3sr)

Today's Lunchtime Concert features the young pianist Benjamin Grosvenor, who is making an international name for himself while still only seventeen years old.

MON 14:00 Afternoon Concert (b00qn3t2)
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

Episode 1

The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam are one of the world's greatest orchestras - many people think they're the best of all. This week Louise Fryer presents concert performances from the orchestra's current season, conducted by Ivan Fischer, Bernard Haitink, and their Chief Conductor Mariss Jansons. The music runs from Mozart to Mahler - Jansons and the Concertgebouw got rave reviews for their performance of his Second Symphony when they brought it to London recently, and you can hear them playing it on home turf. The orchestra's hall, after which they're named, is a beautiful building with a beautiful acoustic, and the week also features the select band of players from the full ensemble who form the Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra. Plus performances with and without the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra by two young Dutch musicians who are former Radio 3 New Generation Artists: violinist Janine Jansen and mezzo-soprano Christianne Stotijn. And on Thursday, we pop south over the border to Belgium for the second in our Gluck double-bill of operas telling the tragic tale of the ancient Greek princess Iphigenia - the exciting productions staged recently at La Monnaie in Brussels.

MON 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00qn3tz)
LPO/Vanska

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Osmo Vänskä and the LPO continue their cycle of symphonies and other works by Jean Sibelius.
Compelling despite its largely brooding and desolate character, Sibelius's Fourth Symphony opens with an ice-cold 'tritone', the sound that traditionally stood for ominous foreboding in western music and was regarded in earlier centuries as "diabolic". The monumental Fifth Symphony, however, is a heroic struggle towards affirmation. Glimpsing a flock of sixteen swans taking flight over his Järvenpää villa, Sibelius discovered the joy of life once more. He thrust the swans' soaring, graceful ascent into the final movement of the Fifth.

MON 21:15 Night Waves (b00qn3vc)
Douglas Hurd/Arthur Koestler/The Lovely Bones/Irving Penn

As the Iraq inquiry puts UK foreign policy in the spotlight Philip Dodd interviews Douglas Hurd about his own time in one of the great Offices of British politics, about the power he really exercised and how his experiences fit within the evolution of the office from Charles James Fox to David Miliband. Hurd was British Foreign secretary during turbulent times. From 1989 to 1995 he had an insider's view of the end of the Cold war, the first Gulf War and civil war in Yugoslavia. A well respected statesmanlike presence, he cultivated relations with both America and Europe but was seen to be on the wrong side of history in his desire not to intervene during the war in Bosnia. He is also the author of numerous political thrillers and has now written a history of the office of foreign secretrary.

When the little known Hungarian Journalist, Arthur Koestler, published Darkness at Noon in 1940, his prescient and savage attack on totalitarianism in Europe propelled him to international fame. He lived, by any account, an extraordinary life and attended many of the great moments of post war history but his character and reputation have been questioned, particulalrly over his relationship with his wife. Now, a new biography claims that he is an 'indispensible intellectual'. Philip Dodd puts the claim to the test in discussion with the author, Michael Scammell and Robert Hewison.

Film-maker Peter Jackson is famous for the fantasy and grandeur of the Lord of the Rings trilogy but now he has turned his hand to more delicate and intimate fare. Alice Sebold's novel The Lovely Bones told the story of a murdered girl coming to terms with her own death whilst looking down from heaven on her still living relatives. It was both critically praised and hugely popular. Matthew Sweet is joined by Sarah Dunant to review Jackson's film of the book starring Saoirse Ronan, Stanley Tucci and Mark Wahlberg.

Geoff Dyer looks at The National Portrait Gallery's new exhibition of work by the American photographer Irving Penn. A regular creator of Vogue cover shots Penn's work expanded beyond his roots in fashion encompass an extraordinary range of sitters from the worlds of literature, music and the visual and performing arts. Among those featured in the exhibition are Truman Capote, Salvador Dali, Christian Dior, T.S. Eliot, Duke Ellington, Grace Kelly, Rudolf Nureyev, Al Pacino, Edith Piaf, Pablo Picasso and Harold Pinter.

MON 23:00 The Essay (b00j161b)
The Mews

The Egg and the Chick

Our essay series follows the writer and falconer Helen Macdonald through a year of keeping a female goshawk. As well as being a diary of training a large and powerful bird of bird - keeping a hawk called Mabel in a house in Cambridge, walking through the streets with her on her fist, and flying her after rabbits - the series of talks is also a meditation on the place hawks and falcons have had in the human imagination for millennia, and particularly on another falconer, another goshawk keeper and writer - the novelist T.H. White best known for his series of Arthurian books - The Once and Future King. White wrote an extraordinary account of his goshawk experiences in the 1950s and Helen Macdonald's talks are a conversation with this near-mad book.

The language of falconry is rich and poetic. A mews was a cage or a building where captive hawks and falcons were kept. And Helen Macdonald's talks reflect on a wealth of themes - on home and flying from it, on killing things and English fascism, on what can be tamed and what cannot.

Producer : Tim Dee (R).


MON 23:15 Jazz on 3 (b00qn3wd)

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00qn3z9)
Bebop

Episode 2

Bebop! It's a rather silly word for a crucial chapter in jazz history. It didn't just come out of nowhere but evolved, fizzed and bubbled into existence in the USA in the early 1940s, as a result of a gloriously rich and complex musical chemistry involving different combinations of musicians, styles and places. All week, Donald Macleod and his special guest, the writer and broadcaster Geoffrey Smith, have some serious fun investigating this amazing musical phenomenon.

In Tuesday's programme, they focus on the 'yin and yang' of Bebop, Charlie Parker and the man he once referred to as 'the other half of my heartbeat', Dizzy Gillespie, starting with three studio recordings - 'Dizzy Atmosphere', 'Now's the Time' and 'Koko' - that galvanized the jazz world, both with the freshness and inventiveness of the musical language and the sheer virtuosity of the playing. Next we follow Parker and Gillespie on a trip to Los Angeles - an occasion notable both for the thrilling live concert they played there and for Parker's ensuing breakdown and stay in Camarillo State Hospital, where, after years of drug abuse, he underwent six months' psychiatric treatment; it would be several years before the two men collaborated again. In the meantime, Gillespie formed a big band and made a string of dazzlingly extrovert recordings; Parker's more reflective, introspective work from this time stands in stark contrast. Finally, we hear them together again in their last studio outing, from June 1950. Parker, always sailing close to the wind, would be dead within five years; Gillespie carried on playing Bebop for another 40, even becoming a cultural ambassador for the US State Department along the way.

TUE 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00qn40g)
Philharmonia/Salonen

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Viktoria Mullova joins the Philharmonia in Stravinsky's Violin Concerto, with music by George Benjamin and Bartok. Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts.

Stravinsky wrote his Violin Concerto in 1931; it is one of the masterpieces of his neoclassical style, with fast toccata-like movements separating two more lyrical arias. Bartók's great Concerto for Orchestra of 1943 was a product of his exile in New York, but is imbued with the folk melodies of his native Hungary that he spent so many years researching. The concert opens with a celebration for George Benjamin's 50th birthday year: his Dance Figures, nine choreographic sketches for orchestra dating from 2004

TUE 21:15 Night Waves (b00qn40y)
Painting History/Ron Arad/The Last Station/Barbara Demick

From the George Bernard Shaw's St.Joan to A Tale of Two Cities, British culture is full of depictions of the history of France. But what of the view from the other side? As the National Gellery unveils an exhibition of French portraits of English historical scenes, including Paul DelaRoche's masterly The Execution of Lady Jane Grey, Matthew Sweet and guests discuss the role of Britain in French national history and the depictions of British culture to be found there.

Matthew talks to the designer Ron Arad as he prepares for the first major exhibition of his work in the UK. A bold experimenter and master of technological innovation Arad's work encompasses architecture, art, mass-produced items for the home and fabulously expensive one-offs. Thirty years ago his postpunk, Rover Chair, constructed from an old car seat and metal frame, launched him into celebrity in 198. More recently he has engaged with emerging technology: he created a chandelier made up of 1050 LED lights embedded within 2,100 crystals and the first to have its own mobile phone number. Text messages appear at the top of the chandelier and wind down the ribbon curves, creating the impression that it is slightly spinning.

Also on the program, Frances Welch reviews The Last Station, a fictionalised account of the final days of the Russian novelist, Count Leo Tolstoy, based on the book by Jay Parini. The stellar cast includes Christopher Plummer, Helen Mirren, James McAvoy, Paul Giamatti, and Anne Marie Duff.

The People's Republic of North Korea is the most secretive country on earth, beholden to ideologies that the rest of the world has forsaken. As a result the ordinary lives of North Koreans are unknown to us but American Journalist Barbara Demick has tried to find out. She has written Nothing to Envy - Real Lives in North Korea which uses extensive interviews with defectors to forensically piece together what it is like to life in the country. Matthew Sweet interviews Barbara Demick about how we engage imaginatively, emotionally and intellectually with a country that seems to be more from the pages of Orwell than the real world.

It didn't just come out of nowhere but evolved, fizzed and bubbled into existence in the USA in the early 1940s, as a result of a gloriously rich and complex musical chemistry involving different combinations of musicians, styles and places. All week, Donald Macleod and his special guest, the writer and broadcaster Geoffrey Smith, have some serious fun investigating this amazing musical phenomenon.

In Wednesday's programme, they visit the engine-room of jazz - the rhythm section - and in particular, Bebop's two key drummers, Kenny 'Klook-Mop' Clarke and Max Roach. Clarke's innovation was to shift the drummer's time-keeping function to the ride cymbal, leaving the snare and bass drum free to 'drop bombs' - unexpected offbeat accents - that perfectly complemented the way that the most innovative jazz musicians were beginning to play. In the event, Clarke was shipped off to Europe as part of the US contribution to the war effort, and he missed Bebop's explosion onto the scene in 1945. His shoes were filled by Max Roach, a percussion virtuoso who absorbed and extended Clarke's innovations. Donald Macleod and Geoffrey Smith explore the contributions of both men to a stellar sequence of recordings, with Charlie Christian, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro, Bud Powell, Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, the Modern Jazz Quartet and Clifford Brown.

WED 21:15 Night Waves (b00qn469)
Anthony Julius/An Enemy of the People/Scandals/Baftas

Anne McElvoy talks to Anthony Julius about the long history of English Anti-Semitism from 1290 to the present day. His new book, Trials of the Diaspora, is the first comprehensive history of English Anti-Semitism. It catalogues the devlopment of the blood libel, the slow rehabilitation of the Jews after Cromwell and the persistent strain of Anti-Semitic thought in British literary life. Controversially, he argues that today a new political anti zionism - part secular part religious - is writing a new chapter in this very old story.

The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield has emerged from a creative and architectural re-design with a new production of An Enemy of the People starring Anthony Sher. Night Waves resident critic Susannah Clapp reviews both the play and the theatre that houses it. Anne McElvoy also talks to the Theatre's new Artistic Director, Daniel Evans, whose acting and directing career has garnered two Olivier awards, a host of other nominations and includes acting work that stretches from Sarah Kane to Stephen Sondheim.

After a run of scandals from MP's expenses to England football captain John Terry's alleged infidelities, Madeleine Bunting and Matthew Parris debate whether public life has lost the abililty to talk about ethics.

When he got married Michael Goldfarb made many vows but none of them involved the Bafta short list. But being married to a Bafta judge brings with it an annual ritual of dvds piling up, lights being dimmed and not being allowed to leave the sofa until the credits roll. He writes a letter for Night Waves on the annual arrival of a cultural behemoth into his domestic bliss but also on how you find time to think critically amidst the demands of family life.

THU 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00qn48s)
Bebop

Episode 4

Bebop! It's a rather silly word for a crucial chapter in jazz history. It didn't just come out of nowhere but evolved, fizzed and bubbled into existence in the USA in the early 1940s, as a result of a gloriously rich and complex musical chemistry involving different combinations of musicians, styles and places. All week, Donald Macleod and his special guest, the writer and broadcaster Geoffrey Smith, have some serious fun investigating this amazing musical phenomenon.

Thursday's programme homes in on the 88 keys of the piano, under the phenomenal fingers of Bebop's two most influential pianists: Bud Powell and Thelonius Monk. The classically-trained Powell had a ferociously virtuosic style of playing. His personality, though, was shy and introverted, and there was something almost helpless about him. He had a tendency to drink to excess, and a formidable knack for getting into trouble. In 1945 he was beaten senseless by the Philadelphia police, an attack whose savagery left him with mental problems that dogged him for the rest of his all-too-brief life; he died in 1966, a couple of months short of his 42nd birthday. Powell and Monk met at Minton's Playhouse in Harlem, where Monk was house pianist in the early '40s, and they remained firm friends. We hear Monk's tribute to Powell, 'In Walked Bud', and Powell's reading of a Monk composition, 'Off Minor'. We also hear their very different readings of 'Tea for Two' - Powell's a wildly inventive hectic dash, like something from the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, Monk's much more spacious and angular. And to finish: 'Wee' from a celebrated live concert recording in which Powell played with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus and Max Roach; and a Monk tune, 'Little Rootie Tootie', in a magnificent arrangement for big band.

Free Thinking 2009

Lionel Shriver/Ian McMillan

Lionel Shriver is a novelist of international renown, best known for her controversial 2003 Orange prize-winning novel, We Need to Talk About Kevin, about a mother and her mass murderer son. Recorded on 24th October 2009 as part of Radio 3's Free Thinking festival of ideas, presenter Anne McElvoy and an audience from New Writing North's book clubs join Lionel at the Sage Gateshead. They engage in an frank, wide ranging and lively conversation about her 1996 novel, A Perfectly Good Family - the story of three siblings and a grand inheritance - and they discuss the ways in which families are portrayed in fiction. And Anne presses Lionel on a popular but contested trend in novel writing today: writers who make sure their own troubled family life as part of their work. Does Lionel Shriver think it is ethical to do so - or can it cause lasting damage?

Also in the programme from Free Thinking - you've heard of a poetry slam - poet and broadcaster Ian McMillan presents a theory slam as eight theorists from Gateshead pitch and pit their ideas against each other - debating and exploring philosophy, politics, culture and science in just three minutes.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00qn4dj)
Bebop

Episode 5

Bebop! It's a rather silly word for a crucial chapter in jazz history. It didn't just come out of nowhere but evolved, fizzed and bubbled into existence in the USA in the early 1940s, as a result of a gloriously rich and complex musical chemistry involving different combinations of musicians, styles and places. All week, Donald Macleod and his special guest, the writer and broadcaster Geoffrey Smith, have some serious fun investigating this amazing musical phenomenon.

To conclude the week they take a look beyond Bebop and explore the various shoots that have sprouted from the original stem, in the hands of such musicians as John Coltrane, Cecil Taylor, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, Wynton Marsalis and finally Sonny Rollins, who brings us into the 21st century with his take on the Jerome Kern standard, 'Why Was I Born' - a live concert recording made in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.

FRI 14:00 Afternoon Concert (b00qn4dn)
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

Episode 5

When Mariss Jansons brought his Royal Concertgebouw of Amsterdam to London last December, Richard Morrison wrote in The Times that 'they delivered an account of Mahler's Second Symphony that left me unable to speak for several minutes after its stupendous finale had died away. In future I will rank Mariss Jansons's Second along with Bernstein's Fifth, Tennstedt's Sixth and Abbado's Third as the finest Mahler performances I have ever heard.' Today Louise Fryer presents the performance of Mahler's Second that Jansons and his orchestra gave at home in Amsterdam a week before they came to London. And we start on the south side of the Dutch-Belgian border with two more Romantic masterpieces from the Belgian National Orchestra: Richard Strauss's autumnal song cycle and another towering Second Symphony by Czech composer Josef Suk, composing at white heat after the death of both his beloved teacher Dvorak, and his wife, Dvorak's daughter Otilie. And one huge fan of Suk's work was... Gustav Mahler.

FRI 20:00 Twenty Minutes (b00r2fl1)
Almost Like Literature

A talk by Robert Hanks on what George Orwell called "good bad books" - novels (loosely interpreted) that set out to entertain, but which one way or another do something rather more impressive. Some books that might be mentioned:

1. The Daffodil Affair by Michael Innes (1942). On the surface, The Daffodil Affair an extravagant and elaborate detective story-cum-thriller, set against the background of the Blitz and featuring, alongside Innes's regular protagonist, the intellectual Inspector Appleby, a mathematical horse, a witch-girl, a paedophilia-obsessed policeman and a tribe of Amazonian headhunters. But Innes was also J. I. M. Stewart, author of the final volume of the Oxford History of English Literature and a leading authority on modernism; and under this novel's fantastical surface is a portrait of a civilisation suffering a collective nervous breakdown, retreating from war and the threat of apocalypse into superstition - a portrait that drew inspiration from T. S. Eliot and in its turn inspired Graham Greene.

2. Gamesmanship, Oneupmanship and Lifemanship by Stephen Potter (1947-52). Most people wouldn't regard Potter's trilogy (I do not speak of Supermanship - the Godfather Part III of his oeuvre) as a novel at all; they take the form of a set of comic manuals on achieving sporting and social success. But the books do almost everything you demand of a sophisticated novel: there are vividly drawn characters (Gatling-Fenn, Godfrey Plaste of "Plaste's Placid Salutation", the obnoxious Odoreida); there is plot - there are far too many plots, in fact - and incident; and there is a thoroughly modern and promiscuous mingling of the real and the fictional. Above all, there is an over-arching satirical vision - Potter is a moralist, who detects and despises in our a society a willingness to believe that being good is only a matter of persuading other people you are good.

3. The Shield Ring by Rosemary Sutcliff (1956). It's a truism that historical novels say more about the time they're written than the time they supposedly portray: and Rosemary Sutcliff's novels together form one of the most vivid meditations on what it meant to be British in the years after the Second World War. Dawn Wind and The Silver Branch, set in the dying years of the Roman Empire, are about the agonies of imperial retreat, seen from the point of view of a colonial power; The Shield Ring, about a colony of Vikings in the Lake District holding out against the Norman yoke, sees colonialism from another angle: in the era of the Malaysian emergency, the Mau-Mau rebellion and the first stages of the Vietnam War, it is a sympathetic portrayal of asymmetric warfare. But it is also, in an age when "You've never had it so good", a lament for a people exhausted by conflict, resigning themselves to a new world that promises to prove infinitely drearier and more wearing than the old.

4. Saturn's Children by Charles Stross (2008). On the one hand, it's a fast-paced space-opera about a sex-robot zipping about a solar system denuded of human life - and what's a girl to do without the man for whom she's been hardwired to go weak at the titanium knees? On the other hand, it's an examination of free will and the difficulty of human existence in a universe where god is dead; it's a warning of the emptiness and hostility of the galaxy beyond our doorstep; and it's a beehive of allusions, from The Perils of Pauline to Isaac Asimov via P. G. Wodehouse and Raymond Chandler.

5. Swamp Thing, issues 21-64, by Alan Moore (1983-87). To begin with, the Swamp Thing was a scientist, Alec Holland, transformed by radiation into a dripping green monster, part man, part vegetable, haunting the swamps of Louisiana: then along came Alan Moore, a Northampton-born writer, best known for writing science-fiction strips in the British comic 2000AD, to reinvent the Swamp Thing as a spirit - often a vengeful one - of the earth. Over the next four years, he transformed a moderately popular American horror comic into a wildly inventive, ironic, mystical contemplation of nature, sexuality and the necessity of evil; and with a cast of fully-realised characters and a rhythmic, descriptive prose style, he transformed the understanding of what comics could do.

FRI 23:15 World on 3 (b00qn5dc)
Mary Ann Kennedy

Music from across the globe with Mary Ann Kennedy, and a Radio 3 debut session with the Carolina Chocolate Drops, a trio with roots in the tradition of Piedmont string bands.

The band was formed in 2005 by three young African-American musicians who started out by learning old American tunes and old fiddle techniques from some of the celebrated veteran players of North Carolina. America's Piedmont region is situated between the Appalachians and the Atlantic, and many freed slaves made their way there in the early years of the twentieth century. The 'Piedmont blues' was a distinctive style, influenced by ragtime and popular song, and it was made famous by the Tennessee Chcolate Drops. The Carolinas, named after the 1930s band, are an acoustic trio of Rhiannon Giddens, Justin Robinson and Dom Flemons, and they are reinventing this style for the present day. Although, as 'Newsweek' recently put it, 'more importantly they're just making great music.'.
