Delius orch. Holten
Soon after his marriage Albeniz moved to Madrid and continued his flourishing performing career there. A series of recitals at the 1888 Universal Exhibition in Barcelona caused such a sensation that he was invited to perform in Paris where he again received rave reviews. Donald Macleod introduces Albeniz's Concerto Fantastico which he'd played to great acclaim in both cities, together with another of his Spanish style piano works, and his charming, and very classical, fourth piano sonata.
In the first of four lunchtime violin recitals recorded at The Sage Gateshead, the young Ukrainian violinist Valeriy Sokolov is joined by pianist Evgeniy Isotov to perform works by Bach, Beethoven & Prokofiev.
Live recordings of concerts by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra including some familiar classics, a romantic American Violin Concerto - and a recent work by the German composer Jarg Widmann that was designed to be played in the same concert as music by Beethoven. There is also a rarely heard orchestral version of some of Dvorak's most heartfelt songs. Presented by Katie Derham.

American Soprano Christine Brewer's appearances in opera, concert and recital are marked by her own unique timbre, a vibrant personality and an emotional honesty. Here she appears at the Edinburgh Festival with a transatlantic programme from both Europe and America featuring works by Gluck and Richard Strauss as well as songs from St. Louis Woman by Harold Arlen, who composed the score for The Wizard of Oz.
Followed by highlights of the Flanders Festival of early music, including Les Arts Florissants, directed by Paul Agnew.
Tonight on Night Waves Matthew Sweet meets British architect, designer and champion of minimalism John Pawson. Pawson's style has attracted commissions across the world as varied as the Cistercian Monastery of Novy Dvur in Bohemia, Calvin Klein's flagship store in New York and the Sackler Crossing at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. As the first UK exhibition of his work opens this week at The Design Museum, offering an overview of 30 years of his designs, John Pawson talks to Matthew Sweet about how he got from designing miniskirts to monasteries.
As Stephen Fry publishes his second volume of memoirs and hosts three nights of a one-man show at the Royal Albert Hall, he talks to Matthew about his desire for fame and recognition, his early comedy days and his admiration for Benny Hill.
Sarah Kent joins Matthew Sweet to review 'Treasures from Budapest', an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts showcasing over 200 works from the Hungarian state collections, with work from Leonardo da Vinci to Egon Schiele.
Gaspar Noe, the Enfant terrible of French cinema, returns with a new film called Enter the Void. The unflinching portrayal of violence in his previous films, particularly a lingering rape scene in 2002's Irreversible, have earned him praise for his courage and opprobrium for his brutality. Enter the Void finds him in gentler mode with a meditation on life, death and reincarnation indebted to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Oddessy. Yet the film is still capable of trademark shocks and moments horror that linger in the memory. Matthew Sweet talks to him about his influences and why he puts the brutality he finds in the world upon the screen.
Walking the Downs on the Sussex-Hampshire border, Robert Macfarlane explores the poet Edward Thomas's love-affair with paths and tracks. For twenty years, Thomas walked what he called 'the long white roads' and 'frail tracks' of England's chalk country. Then in 1916, he enlisted and was sent as an officer to the chalk landscape of Arras in Northern France, with its far more dangerous paths, 'Where any turn may lead to Heaven / Or any corner may hide Hell'. He was killed on Easter Monday, 1917. Producer Tim Dee.
Fiona Talkington presents an eclectic mix of musical styles including Polish toy-instrument band Male Instrumenty, cellist Hildur Gudnadottir and the new album by saxophonist Jan Garbarek with the classical vocal quartet, Hilliard Ensemble .

Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909)
Opera collaborations with Francis Money-Coutts
While living in London Albéniz met the solicitor, poet and aspiring librettist Francis Money-Coutts with whom he signed an exclusive contract for ten years. Coutts provided Albéniz with a secure income and collaborated with him on three operas with varying degrees of success. Donald Macleod introduces extracts from two of those joint ventures, one based on a popular novel by a contemporary Spanish writer, and the other, a very English opera set in the time of the Wars of the Roses.

Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra - Wednesday
There are musical references to war in several of the works in today's programme performed by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra. There's a symphony by Hindemith that made a statement about artistic freedom in dark times and a poignant musical memorial by Martinu to a Czech village destroyed by the Nazis. Mahler introduces us to a drummer-boy and a sentry-guard - and then, in total contrast, Berlioz dreams of summer nights. The programme ends with Martinu's final symphony, written 'in exile' in the United States - music that alternates dark drama and soaring lyricism. Presented by Katie Derham.

Edinburgh International Festival 2010
EIF: Royal Concertgebouw, Jansons
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
The Concertgebouw, conducted by Mariss Jansons, at the Edinburgh Festival.
Dedicated to the memory of Claude Debussy, Stravinsky's single movement Symphonies of Wind Instruments draws on Russian folk elements. Folksong lies at the heart of Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta too, though the work has made its way into the popular psyche after featuring in the films Being John Malkovich and The Shining.
4 Dedicaces is an umbrella title that Pierre Boulez gave to four of Berio's magical miniatures that were grouped together in the late 1980s. The Firebird is possibly Stravinsky's best known work, the suite from it is performed here in the arrangement that Stravinsky made in 1945.

WED 21:15 Night Waves (b00ts2hf)
Marilynne Robinson, Irish Poetry, Progressive
Philip Dodd talks to the American novelist Marilynne Robinson about her work and her recent collection of essays on science and culture.
Marilynne Robinson won the 2009 Orange Prize for Fiction with her novel Home to put alongside the Pulitzer she won in 2005 for the novel Gilead. Alongside her literary output she is one of America's leading essayists and non fiction writers. She's written on the British welfare state, nuclear pollution and a collection of philosophical essays called The Death of Adam. This year Marilynne Robinson published Absence of Mind: The Dispelling of Inwardness from the Modern Myth of the Self, a series of essays which criticised science and scientists for their attempts to monopolise ideas about human existence. Philip talks to her about the relationship between science and modern thought.
A new anthology of Irish poetry which embraces WB Yeats, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett and Seamus Heaney is discussed by the poet, Paul Muldoon and the anthology's editor, Patrick Crotty.
And with the party conference season well under way Philip decodes one of the current political buzzwords - "progressive". When Tony Blair appeared on Night Waves he described himself as a "progressive" politician, and there's been talk recently of "progressive spending cuts". What does progressive mean today and does it have anything to do with the progressivism that emerged in America in the late 19th century as a response to industrialisation?

THU 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00ts2k5)
Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909)
Inspirations
By 1897, Albeniz was living in Paris, where he not only continued his dual roles of pianist and composer but he had also begun teaching. He and his patron Francis Money-Coutts now launched into another major collaboration in which they intended to produce a trilogy of operas based on the story of King Arthur and in doing so create an English national opera. Donald Macleod introduces an extract from the first and only one of the three operas actually completed, a piano work inspired by the countryside around Granada, and a performance of Albeniz's only purely orchestral work, evoking the songs and dances of a typical Spanish fiesta.

Thursday Opera Matinee - Chabrier's L'Etoile
Chabrier's comic opera L'Étoile is a gem - a very silly story set to some glorious music. The performance was recorded last year at the Grand Theatre in Geneva and is full of gallic wit and charm. Our 'orchestra of the week', the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, then returns with colourful orchestrations of some of Debussy's piano preludes - and a performance of that most notorious of Ravel's scores, Boléro. Presented by Katie Derham.

Downton Abbey, the Limits of Science, Krapp's Last Tape, Serge Diaghilev
Anne Karpf joins Anne McElvoy to review the new period drama, Downton Abbey - written by Julian Fellowes, and with a cast including Hugh Bonneville, Maggie Smith and Penelope Wilton, the series spans the two years from the sinking of the Titanic to the outbreak of the First World War.
Two of our most eminent scientists, Roger Penrose and Russell Stannard, debate the limits of scientific discovery; how far can science go before practical constraints - and the limits of what we can imagine - prevent further breakthroughs.
Tom Paulin joins Anne to consider Michael Gambon's performance in Samuel Beckett's classic one-man show, Krapp's Last Tape - in which the self-absorbed Krapp records his memoirs and reflects on a single tender memory.
And Siobhan Davies offers a contemporary choreographer's perspective on the Russian ballet impresario, Sergei Diaghilev, and his Ballets Russes.
Anne also discusses Serge Diaghilev and The Golden Age of the Ballets Russes 1909-1929. A new exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The exhibition will explore the work of the Ballets Russes, the influential dance company, and its enduring impact on theatre, art, music and fashion. The company began in the social and political upheaval of pre-revolutionary Russia and its creator Serge Diaghilev reawakened interest in ballet across Europe and America. Treasures on show will include Picasso's huge front cloth for Le Train Bleu, as well as original costumes and set designs, props and posters by artists and designers like Georges Braque and Jean Cocteau.

A Five-Day Journey
Flying
The Downs have often prompted dreams of flight. 'I shall lift great heron-like wings and fly...to other points of view', wrote WH Hudson in 1900. Reaching The Cuckmere Valley and The Seven Sisters, Robert Macfarlane re-imagines the life of the artist Eric Ravilious (1903-42), who was fascinated by the 'pure design' of the South Downs: their paths, ridges and light. Ravilious's passion for aerial landscapes eventually led him northwards, to Norway and Iceland. He disappeared off the coast of Iceland in September 1942 while on a rescue flight. Producer Tim Dee.

Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909)
Iberia
In the last five years of his life, Albeniz was in constant pain from a kidney infection, but it was during that time that he wrote his masterpiece - a cycle of piano pieces called 'Iberia', each evoking different aspects of Spain. Donald Macleod devotes the whole of the final programme to this remarkable work, playing extracts from it, both in its original form for piano and in various arrangements, finishing with an exuberant version of a trio of pieces for guitar and orchestra, brilliantly evoking Albeniz's beloved Andalucia.

Lopa Kothari
All the latest sounds from around the world with Lopa Kothari including the sublime sound of Alemu Aga's Ethiopian harp, in session. Called the "bèguèna" in Amharic, some believe the instrument to be a direct descendant of King David's harp
Alemu Aga was born in1950 in Entotta, near Addis Ababa and is an Ethiopian musician and singer and a master of the bèguèna (a ten-stringed member of the lute family, also known as "King David's Harp"). Alemu went on to become an acknowledged master of the instrument, first recorded in 1972 by Cynthia Tse Kimberlin for a major UNESCO collection, and performing and broadcasting around the world. In 1974, however, the Derg military junta came to power in Ethiopia; their anti-religious policies also included the banning of the harp from radio broadcasts, as well as the teaching of the instrument. As a result, Alemu Aga decided to open a souvenir shop in Addis Ababa's Piazza district.
For a time he played only in private, but the collapse of the Derg's régime led eventually to a change in state policy, and Alemu again began to teach and perform in public.
