Presented by Donald Macleod. Now based in Paris, life as a freelance composer was a precarious business for André Campra. He gave up the security of a job at Notre Dame in 1700, so when he was appointed as Director of the Orchestra of the Opera at the Académie Royale de Musique it must have seen like a very good proposition indeed, but then things didn't quite turn out as he might have expected. Guest William Christie explains how Parisian theatrical life worked.

From Westminster Cathedral.
Sean Rafferty is joined by singers Samuel Harrison and Katie Moore, and artistic director Bill Bankes-Jones. They will discuss the upcoming run of the production 'Salad Days' at the Riverside Studios and will perform live in the studio, accompanied by pianist Fergal O'Mahony.
There will also be live music from tenor Nicholas Mulroy, mezzo-soprano Meg Bragle, bass Matthew Brook and harpsichordist Steven Devine. They will join conductor John Butt in talking to Sean about the upcoming tour of Bach's Christmas Oratorio.
The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra performs two great works from composers at the height of their powers.
Mozart could not have known that the three symphonies he composed in the summer of 1788 would be his last. Symphony No.40 is a work of storm and stress, a score whose overriding emotions range from the unsettling to the downright terrifying, perhaps a mirror of Mozart's inner demons. He takes an unusual voyage, but in the end his musical language still achieves a balance, order, and resolution with much innovation and harmonic tension en route.
It has been written that Mahler did not want to name Das Lied a symphony since that would make it his ninth, and therefore possibly his last. Whether a symphony or song cycle, he clearly saw the work as a symphonic whole, and the songs themselves can be grouped into parts analogous to symphonic movements. The songs themselves speak of love of nature, wistful nostalgia of youth, defiance at death, and strength of friendship.
Philip Dodd reviews Derek Jacobi as King Lear, discusses whether the web or the street is the more effective medium of protest and interviews risk guru Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
As tuition fees protesters take to the streets and the Wikileaks revelations continue on the web, Alex Callinicos and Peter Hitchens discuss whether the web or the pavement is the more effective and legitimate place for protest.
Derek Jacobi has been a fixed star in the British theatrical firmament since playing Laertes in the National Theatre's 1963 production of Hamlet. Thirty seven years later, he is playing King Lear. Jacobi and director Michael Grandage received huge acclaim for their 2008 production of Twelfth Night at the Donmar Warehouse in London and this new venture is hugely anticipated. Completing Lear's dysfunctional ruling family are Gina McKee playing Goneril and Justine Mitchell as Regan.
The Tourist opens this week, the new film from the director of The Lives of Others. It stars Angelina Jolie as a mysterious stranger to Johnny Depp's American tourist in Venice. George Clooney's current film, The American, also puts an American outsider into a European setting. Philip Dodd is joined by Nigel Andrews and John Freemon to reflect on what Europe represents to Americans as a setting for films and novels, from Henry James to Patricia Highsmith and Woody Allen.
The Lebanese born financier and risk guru Nassim Nicholas Taleb has been called 'the hottest thinker on the planet'. Progenitor of black swan theory, he argues that history is driven unpredictable 'black swan' events such as the financial crisis. The answer is not to seek to predict them but to prepare ourselves for their very unpredictability. Now he's published a book of provocative and idiosyncratic aphorisms about the habits and boundaries of human thinking.
3. What women do in the city!
"Each time I visit Karachi there is a particular strangeness that accompanies me... invisible to x-ray machines... undetected by sniffer dogs. It is the strangeness of returning."
London based novelist Kamila Shamsie returns to Karachi every January to see her family and old friends. But it's not where she lives anymore, so it has a fresh and often surprising quality to it. Over five 'postcards' for The Essay, she explores the city of her birth in this uncertain and often intriguing light
Now she meets the women of the city. How do they live their daily lives? How do men see them? And what is the difference between what one women in a queue calls 'rights and priviledges' ?
Presented by Fiona Talkington, with music from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, songs for saxophone and piano by Trygve Seim and Andreas Utnem, and guitar music by James Blackshaw.

Free Thinking 2010
The Joys of Failure
Leading screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce delivers a lecture at this year's Free Thinking festival on The Joys of Failure.
Fail again, fail better, said Samuel Beckett. It's a credo taken up by Frank Cottrell Boyce as he makes a passionate plea for the traditional enemies of happiness - error, disappointment and, above all, failure. Bad ideas have often led to great discoveries, he claims, and human knowledge is dependent on our ability to continue making mistakes.
Frank argues for an end to the excesses of "affirmation" culture, where school prize days now have the elated tears and whoops of an Oscar ceremony and where pupils are encouraged to applaud themselves for listening - before they even applaud visiting guests. Promoters of such affirmation claim it is about encouraging people: But Frank asks "Is this pathology-ward level cheering and waving really encouragement? Or is it a strange new morbid dread of failure?"
Frank's lecture was recorded in November at this year's BBC Radio 3 Free Thinking festival at The Sage Gateshead where Frank was the first Thinker-in-Residence. The event is hosted by presenter Anne McElvoy.
Plus we hear some of the contributions from this year's Free Thinking Theory Slam, hosted by Ian McMillan.
Producer: Lisa Davis.

Andre Campra (1660-1744)
Episode 5
Presented by Donald Macleod.
Having survived years of relative instability as a freelance musician, in 1723 André Campra finally managed to secure a position as one of the Masters of the Royal Chapel at Versailles. It's one of the reasons why, in his later years, he produced relatively little secular music, despite his natural abilities in that area. Having recorded and performed Campra's music over many years, William Christie puts the case for better awareness of his music outside France.

Royal Liverpool Philharmomic - Fairytale Music
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
Once upon a time...composers Ravel, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky all set enchanting fairy-tale stories to music. Originally a set of piano pieces for children - Ravel's Mother Goose was re-worked as a ballet where we meet everyone from Sleeping Beauty and Tom Thumb through to Beauty and the Beast. Two Russian ballets complete the programme with Prokofiev's witty take on the Cinderella story followed by music from perhaps the most famous ballet of all - Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker where the magic happens around the Christmas Tree on Christmas Eve. The handsome young prince from a far off land - Vassily Petrenko - conducts. Recorded at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on Wednesday.

The American poet Charles Olsen was born 100 years ago. Iain Sinclair presents a beginner's guide to this difficult, influential wordsmith.

FRI 23:00 The Essay (b00rd91h)
Karachi Postcards
Departure, But First a Feast...
The London based novelist Kamila Shamsie
returns to her city of birth every winter,
and this time decides to explore it properly:
5. Departure, but first a feast...
Producer Duncan Minshull
"Each time I visit Karachi there is a particular strangeness that accompanies me... invisible to x-ray machines... undetected by sniffer dogs. It is the strangeness of returning."
London based novelist Kamila Shamsie returns to Karachi every January to see her family and old friends. But it's not where she lives anymore, so it has a fresh and often surprising quality to it. Over five 'postcards' for The Essay, she explores the city of her birth in this uncertain and often intriguing light.
It's nearly time to return to London. It's late February. And to mark the event a ritual takes place. Off Kamila goes with friends to the Bunns Road, which is renowned for its amazing eateries. A last supper awaits, in all its delicious glory...
