A new film looking at the life of Edward Elgar is featured at the Sheffield Documentary Festival at the beginning of November. Its director, John Bridcut discusses how Elgar - The Man Behind the Mask reveals the hidden identity of a composer we think we know so well.

The Skampa Quartet has been one of the finest Czech ensembles for 20 years and is an old friend of Radio 3. This recital pairs two highly contrasted works. Shostakovich's 11th Quartet was written in memory of an old friend, a member of the quartet which had given many Shostakovich premieres. Dvorak's 13th Quartet dates from the year when he returned to his Czech homeland after his famous visit to the United States - a time when he was 'inexpressively happy'. The concert is introduced by Katie Derham.

Veronique Gens sings Niobe, and male soprano Jacek Laszczkowski her husband Anfione, a role originally written for a castrato.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b00vct0q)
Ian McDiarmid

Michael Berkeley's guest this week is the Scottish actor Ian McDiarmid, who has won many awards for his stage performances from a variety of Shakespeare plays to Brian Friel's Faith Healer in London and on Broadway. He recently starred at the Donmar Warehouse in the title role of John Gabriel Borkman and as the Elector in Heinrich von Kleist's drama The Prince of Homburg. From 1990 to 2001, he and Jonathan Kent served jointly as artistic directors of the Almeida Theatre in London, working with actors such as Kevin Spacey and Ralph Fiennes. Since 1968 he has appeared in 47 films, most notably in the epic Star Wars trilogies, in which he played the villain Palpatine. On TV his many roles have included the Stuart statesman Edward Hyde in the BBC series Charles II: The Power and the Passion, and Denis Thatcher, opposite Lindsey Duncan as the Prime Minister, in the 2009 drama Margaret.

Ian McDiarmid confesses that at heart he'd like to be an opera singer, and he particularly coverts the roles that Britten wrote for Peter Pears. His musical choices begin with two Britten works - the second movement (Waltz) of the Piano Concerto, and the poignant aria 'Look. Through the port comes the moonshine astray' from the opera Billy Budd, sung by Billy the night before his execution. They continue with Janet Baker singing Schubert's 'Gretchen am Spinnrade', and an excerpt from the Scottish composer James MacMillan's dramatic setting of the St John Passion. Drama and passion combine in the searing end of Act One of Shostakovich's opera 'Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk'; followed by poems by Wordsworth and Burns read by Robert Donat and Tom Fleming; a setting of Burns' Ae fond kiss sung by Kenneth McKellar, and finally the rousing finale of Bernstein's On the Town.

The programme includes a variety of sacred and secular repertoire, instrumental and operatic, and also some Canzone Napoletane - popular solo street songs - by some of the composers who flourished in Naples in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Karen his colleague is beginning to doubt her reasons for leaving a successful business career in order to follow what she thought was her vocation.

SUN 21:30 Sunday Feature (b00vct4d)
The Romans in Britain

Becoming Roman

Historian Bettany Hughes looks at our first contacts with the Romans and how people loved or resented their new overlords. Our relationship with the Romans used to be a cosy one - once we saw them as our fellow imperialists who civilised 'us natives', and a jolly good thing too. Even now that some of that 'special relationship' has persisted. We love discoveries of forts and towns and baths, and we're lot less impressed by a nice British round house. Yet perhaps 97% of our ancestors would have been living in those roundhouses, many of them turning up their noses at Roman culture beyond the odd bit of bracelet or pottery.

Where we do pay attention to the native British, it's to the freedom fighters like Boudicca and Caractacus, but we rarely think about ordinary life under occupation or the culture shock of suddenly finding yourself living in a Roman town. Roman towns would have looked as alien to our ancestors as the dizzying streetscapes of Bladerunner with their tall rectangular stone buildings, cacophony of languages and intimidatingly foreign way of life.

Nor do we think about the most important woman in early Roman Britain, the dazzling ruler of most of Yorkshire - the pro-Roman Cartimandua, queen of the Brigantes who built one of our largest prehistoric sites at Stanwick and who caused an international incident when she ditched her husband for his armour bearer. Her canny but failed experiment in client state-building would set the future for the whole of the North of England. She was a much bigger player than Boudicca. It's up in the North that we see occupation in shockingly modern terms, as those enormous Roman armies set up permanent home, sucking the local areas almost dry and becoming the law of the land. Up here, occupation bites.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00vct73)
Steve Reich (b.1936)

Episode 1

Donald Macleod chats exclusively to one of the world's most acclaimed living composers - and presents music spanning his extraordinary musical career.

"There's just a handful of living composers who can legitimately claim to have altered the direction of musical history. Steve Reich is one of them".

So wrote the music critic Andrew Clements of this week's Composer Of The Week - a man whose remarkable music the New York Times also described as "fiercely original, immediately recognisable.and wholly accessible".

Steve Reich's music crosses boundaries - admired by classical concertgoers, rock bands and house music DJs alike. His work rips apart the conventions of genre - making use of percussion, amplification and the latest developments in recording and even video technology - to create something completely new that sits equally happily in the concert hall, art gallery or rock concert (at this year's Manchester International Festival, he opened for Kraftwerk).

Yet unlike the music of many of his contemporaries, Reich's music is immediately accessible to the general public - an exuberant, teeming mass, of short, recurring melodies and rhythms that chime with the pulse of contemporary life. Yet one of the founding fathers of 'minimalism' in music is sometimes a controversial figure - his hypnotic patterns and slowly shifting textures disparaged by some music lovers as overly repetitive...or even simplistic.

Listeners to this week's Composer Of The Week will discover that the truth is anything but...as Donald Macleod discusses a lifetime in music with the composer, in an extended interview conducted at his home in upstate New York in September 2010. Just as composers like Beethoven, Shostakovich and Mahler captured their era in their compositions, so Reich's music distils the pulsating rhythm and routine of 21st century urban life.

Wry, witty and disarmingly candid about the ideas and influences behind his work, Steve Reich is an engaging and insightful guide to his compositions. The series presents a selection of music spanning his entire career, from the 1965 tape piece "It's Gonna Rain" to the premiere on British radio of his Pulitzer Prize-winning "Double Sextet" of 2008.

We also hear some of Reich's most acclaimed works: "Music For 18 Musicians", "Different Trains" for string quartet, the 'video opera' "The Cave", and on Wednesday, a rare complete performance of his extraordinary, African-inspired work "Drumming". The series also features a number of less-heard works, including his Jewish-infused vocal piece "Tehillim" and a rare - and beautiful - foray into orchestral writing, 1987's "The Four Sections".

---

Donald Macleod begins the week by discussing Reich's early upbringing and influences with the composer, featuring excerpts from two vastly different works: his seminal - and radical - tape piece "It's Gonna Rain", and the lush, expressively lyrical "Music For 18 Musicians". The programme also features a work for no instruments at all - the composer's "Clapping Music" - and the gamelan-infused "Music For Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ".


MON 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00vct75)

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00vct91)
Steve Reich (b.1936)

Episode 2

By the late 1970s and 80s, Steve Reich - a one-time radical - was increasingly acclaimed across the musical world - his pieces performed in concert halls, his presence in demand across the world. Yet as commissions began to flood in, the composer found himself writing for ever larger, and ever more unwieldy, orchestral ensembles - a situation that threw up all sorts of challenges.and frustrations. After all, what's an American composer living in the last quarter of the 20th century got in common with the medium of Beethoven, Brahms and Mahler?

Donald Macleod discusses the perils and pitfalls of writing for the orchestra with the composer, including a rare performance of his most extended orchestral piece, the sensuous "The Four Sections". The programme also features excerpts from Reich's first major vocal piece, "Tehillim", for which he drew on his own Jewish heritage.

The Kids Are All Right, Nicholas Ostler, Merce Cunningham, Silbury Hill

Anne McElvoy reviews the new film The Kids are All Right, a comedy making waves in Hollywood because it stars Annette Bening and Julianne Moore as a Californian lesbian couple whose teenage children seek out the sperm donor who helped give them life. The film has been a huge success at the Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals.

Anne is joined in the studio by language historian Nicholas Ostler to talk about his new book in which he challenges the received view that English will continue to dominate as the global Lingua Franca. As the balance of power in the world shifts, he suggests that the English language will lose power, just as Latin and Aramaic have done before it, and that it will not be replaced by any other single dominant language.

The American choreographer, Merce Cunningham died last year. As his company tour his final work before disbanding Anne talks to Trevor Carlson, Chief Executive of the Merce Cunningham Dance company and the dance critic Judith Mackrell about what happens to a choreographer's work when they die.

Archaeologists Jim Leary and Mike Pitts join Anne to consider Silbury Hill, the largest prehistoric man-made feature in Europe, and a new theory that has shaken up some long held assumptions about its construction and purpose.

Producer: Victoria Shepherd.

Inspired by the intricate drum patterns of the Ewe tribe of Ghana, and nearly an hour in duration, "Drumming" is one of the masterworks of late 20th century classical music: a sensuous ritual of hypnotic colours and timbres.

WED 21:15 Night Waves (b00vctc9)
Amanda Foreman

Rana Mitter talks to the historian Amanda Foreman about her new book "A World on Fire". Foreman's biography of the eighteenth century society hostess and proto-celebrity "Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire" was a sensational success when it was published in 1999 and later became a film starring Keira Knightley. Her new book is an epic and richly textured work about the thousands of British citizens who took part in the American Civil War. Rana Mitter asks why so many Britons became active participants in an internal war in the United States and Foreman's desire to create a new style of writing history which she describes as being like a kind of "theatre-in-the-round".

In the run up to this year's Free Thinking Festival, with its main theme of the 'Pursuit of Happiness', Rana Mitter looks how and why we smile. Art historian Professor Martin Kemp and Professor Sophie Scott from the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience join him to discuss the many varieties of smile in art and science.

Observer theatre critic Susannah Clapp reviews 'Men Should Weep', a revival of the classic 1948 play by Ena Lamont Stewart. Set in a Glasgow tenement in the 1930s Depression, Men Should Weep follows the fortunes of the struggling Morrison family. The play provides an insight into the tensions and survival strategies that can emerge from a combination of poverty and cramped living conditions and was recently voted one of the 100 greatest plays of the 20th Century.

The Glasgow Boys were a group of artists who flourished in Scotland's largest city in the last two decades of the 19th Century. The painters James Guthrie, John Lavery, Arthur Melville, George Henry and E.A. Hornel brought the innovations of French Naturalist and Impressionist artists to Scotland, and were, in turn, admired and emulated in Secessionist circles on the Continent. Rana discusses a new exhibition celebrating their work at the Royal Academy of Arts with the the critic Lynda Nead.

Producer: Natalie Steed.

THU 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00vctdz)
Steve Reich (b.1936)

Episode 4

Steve Reich explores two of his most original large-scale works of the late 1980s and 90s with presenter Donald Macleod. "The Cave" is a unique 'video opera', conceived by Reich in partnership with his wife, the artist Beryl Korot, exploring questions of Jewish, Muslim and American identity from ancient times to the present, and inspired by the Cave of Machpilai in Hebron, the burial place of Abraham.

Meanwhile, the Grammy Award-winning work "Different Trains", for string quartet and tape, has its inspiration closer to home, in the long journeys from New York to San Francisco Reich made between his divorced parents as a young child in the late 1930s and early 40s - a time when half a world away, Jewish men and women like himself were being transported by train to the death camps of Eastern Europe.

The episode ends with Reich and Donald Macleod discussing the composer's inspiration to a whole new generation of dance, electronica and rock musicians - with an excerpt from his seminal 1967 work "Piano Phase", remixed by British dance collective, D*Note.

THU 21:15 Night Waves (b00vcthk)
Free Thinking 2010

Universities

Night Waves brings together an outspoken panel at the University of Sunderland to tackle one of the most pressing issues for future generations: What do we really want from universities and graduates in the 21st century?

Cash-strapped and oversubscribed, the pressure on universities and students seems unprecedented. The coalition government is committed to cuts in budgets as part of the Comprehensive Spending Review, but the A level results over the summer already revealed a tight squeeze on the numbers of new entrants. So how should universities react? Should they be applying ruthless business models, bringing in evermore lucrative foreign students and forming closer bonds with industry and business?

And what abouit students? With the publication of the Browne report on student funding, must they accept that universities are not the old kind of "seats of learning" and that they should consider themselves customers as much as scholars?

To find some answers, Night Waves presenter Philip Dodd heads to the University of Sunderland which has confidently expanded and is proud of its business links. With the audience at the National Glass Centre, Philip's guests are Bahram Bekhradnia, director of the Higher Education Policy Institute; local entrepreneur and Chair of the University of Sunderland's Board of Governors, Paul Callaghan; Nicola Dandridge of the body that represents universities in Britain, Universities UK and Professor of Education Policy at Newcastle University, James Tooley.

This edition of Night Waves is one of three programme recorded across the North East ahead of BBC Radio 3's Free Thinking festival at The Sage Gateshead in November.

Producer: Kirsty Pope.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00vctjd)
Steve Reich (b.1936)

Episode 5

Donald Macleod ends his exclusive week of discussion with the composer Steve Reich with one of his most haunting - and unusual - works for voices, based upon a tiny - and apt - aphorism of Ludwig Wittgenstein: "How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life!". Plus, the British radio premiere of the composer's "Double Sextet", which won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Composition.

As the composer's 75th birthday looms large next year, Reich talks about his plans for the future - and his thoughts on the legacy of so-called 'minimalism'.

FRI 21:15 The Verb (b00vctk5)
Free Thinking 2010

Andrew Motion, Lisa Suhair Majaj, Sean O'Brien, Luke Wright

In The Verb this week Ian McMillan has his work cut out. He's hurtling from lost love and the sorrow and pity of war to the venality of the middle classes - all in just three quarters of an hour. Ian's guests include the former Poet Laureate, Andrew Motion, whose new collection pays homage to Siegfried Sassoon while still seeming to emerge - as he puts it in one of the poems - from that time between 'The Peace Museum and the bullet train to Tokyo'.

One of the Middle East's leading writers, Lisa Suhair Majaj, who's appearing at Poetry International on the Southbank this week, talks about the Arab American experience and reads from her book, Geographies of Light.

There's a specially commissioned drama, Take me to the Bridge, by Sean O'Brien perched on that ever precarious border between Newcastle and Gateshead - a kind of nocturnal Eden of forking paths and crossed destinies.

And in a new ballad the performance poet, Luke Wright, trains his satirical eye on some contemporary lives.

FRI 23:15 World on 3 (b00vctkc)
Mary Ann Kennedy

Mary Ann Kennedy with new tracks from across the globe, and a studio session with Hebridean musician Iain Morrison. Best-known for his work with former indie band Crash My Model Car, he looks to his musical heritage in a new project involving 'one-woman ceilidh' Rona Lightfoot, as well as his own father, Pipe Major Iain Morrison Senior.

When Pipe Major Iain Morrison first heard his son playing guitar, we're told he didn't speak to him for a week. He had raised his son in the best traditions of the music of the Great Highland Bagpipe, which he had himself transformed with the introduction of influences from the local singing style, and from the singing language of traditional pipers, 'canntaireachd'. But after making a big impact on the piping world in his early teenage years, Iain junior turned to singing and songwriting, with bands such as Poor Old Ben and Crash My Model Car. This project unites the traditions of his dynastic piping family with his modern-day incarnation as rock musician and songwriter. The ensemble includes guitar, drums, bouzouki and cello as well as pipes and the singing of Rona Lightfoot and Iain Morrison Senior. The session is scheduled for Mary Ann's own studio up in the Western Highlands of Scotland.
