In this recital she plays all four of Chopin's Ballades, each one a miniature tone-poem that evokes its own special world. The other work on the programme is by a composer enormously influenced by Chopin, Liszt. His so-called 'Dante Sonata' portays both heaven and hell in colourful and virtuosic music.

Then we move to the world of a convent where Suor Angelica sung by Ermonela Jaho has been banished for having an illegitimate child. Both these are new productions. Finally a revival of Richard Jones' production of the farcical comedy where Gianni Schicchi, sung by Lucio Gallo, tricks a grasping family out of its inheritance.

Aminatta Forna

Michael Berkeley's guest this week is the Glasgow-born author Aminatta Forna, whose first book, 'The Devil that Danced on the Water' - a memoir of Sierra Leone where her dissident father was eventually arrested and executed by the regime - was runner-up for the 2003 Samuel Johnson Prize. Her next book, the novel 'Ancestor Stones', described by the Washington Post as 'a richly patterned mosaic of African culture and history', won several international awards; while her latest novel, 'The Memory of Love', set during the Sierra Leonean civil war of the 1990s, has been shortlisted for the 2011 Orange Prize for Fiction and won the 2011 Commonwealth Writers Prize (Africa). She is a trustee of the Royal Literary Fund, has published essays and articles, and writes for radio and TV.

Several of her choices recall her childhood experiences of music: she tried to learn piano and has always loved Bach's keyboard music, which she listens to while writing. She went to school in Malvern, where she first encountered Elgar's Cello Concerto, which helped her write the love scene in 'The Memory of Love'; while an extract from Prokofiev's ballet 'Romeo and Juliet' recalls her early love of opera and ballet. Tchaikovsky's first Piano Concerto was also an early passion from her schooldays, while she became interested in the improvisatory nature of jazz during a year spent in the USA. While writing her first book she used to go to Westminster Abbey, particularly to hear church music, and Rodrigo Leao's 'Ave Mundi' marries her enthusiasm for sacred music and dance. Finally her African heritage is celebrated in the music of Ali Farka Toure.

SUN 19:45 Sunday Feature (b014m92k)
Out in the World - A Global Gay History

Episode 1

Richard Coles embarks on an excavation of same-sex desire through the ages, starting with the modern construction of gay identity and its links with the ancient world.

Across four programmes and a range of investigations which reach from the UK to India, Egypt, Greece and Native America, Richard discovers a far more complex and nuanced story than one of darkness into light.

In programme one, he confronts the challenges of uncovering such a history given that the idea of 'being gay' is a very modern phenomenon. Richard's quest takes him to Saqqara in Egypt and the contested tomb of two men, Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum. Some claim the two men were lovers - others say they were twin brothers. He explores the ideas of the 'sexologists' so crucial to the formation of modern gay identity. And he tells the story of Anne Lister, a 19th century Yorkshirewoman who had same sex relationships - but can we actually label her a lesbian?

In programme two, Richard explores the homosexuality of the ancients. He traces the transition from classical celebration to religious repression under the strictures of Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

Part three shifts the focus to the complex relationship between sexuality and gender as Richard surveys the so-called 'third sex' in places such as India, Indonesia, and the ladyboys of Thailand which confounded the understanding of 19th century imperialists.

Richard concludes the series by looking at the globalisation of gay identity. Some theorists argue that western states are now attempting to promote and impose ideas of gay liberation which are alien to the developing world. Richard asks whether this charge of latter-day imperialism is justified.

Producer: Laurence Grissell

First broadcast in September 2011.


SUN 20:30 Drama on 3 (b014m92m)
Glass Chair Chair Glass

Russ Abbott, Harriet Walter, Emily Bruni, Hugh Ross and Allan Corduner star in a play that imagines a day when Tommy Cooper met absurdist playwright Eugene Ionesco. It could have happened.
It's a sunny morning in Paris, 1975, and in the throes of a paranoia laced drunken spree, Tommy Cooper may not be in the best place to enter Eugene Ionesco's world, where events have the logic of a dream, where people don't tell the truth or even know what it is and where mysterious and brutal threats are always close. Survivor of Nazis and Stalinists, in permanent exile from his native Romania, Ionesco was always drawn to anarchic comedy as the only way to express the world. His plays generate emotion rather than obvious meaning because he felt life was too unstable to mean very much. Ionesco and Tommy Cooper's world views collide with surprising results, concluding that laughter is often the only real revolution we have left.

A play that waltzes us through thoughts about the state of the world, how to make a salt pot disappear, and how to travel on imaginary motorbikes, as Cooper and Ionesco ask the question; Is comedy just business, escapism or is it for the soul?

Tommy Cooper ..... Russ Abbott
Gwen Cooper/Concierge ..... Harriet Walter
Eugene Ionesco .... Allan Corduner
The Actress ..... Emily Bruni
Miff Ferrie ..... Hugh Ross

Written by Annie Caulfield.
Directed by Marilyn Imrie
Produced by Gordon Kennedy for Absolutely Productions.


SUN 22:00 World Routes (b014m936)
Sri Lanka

Having visited the North of Sri Lanka earlier this year for the World Routes Academy, Lucy Duran continues her journey around the island to explore its diverse musical cultures.

Sinhala is the most widely spoken language in Sri Lanka, and Sinhalese music focuses on drumming and dancing. In the city of Kandy, capital of the ancient Sinhalese empire, Lucy witnesses the weekly ritual of the washing of the Tooth of the Buddha. The tooth is enshrined in seven bejewelled golden caskets, and kept within the inner sanctum of the Sri Dalada Maligawa temple where each week the caskets are washed and the perfumed water handed out to the faithful. At the other end of the spectrum, she meets an astrologer and his two sons, who perform all night Low Country healing rituals, based on Sri Lankan Buddhist horoscopes and accompanied by a haunting style of singing and virtuosic drumming.

On the East coast of Sri Lanka in the city of Batticaloa the Burgher community have preserved the music dancing and language of the Portuguese settlers of the 16th century. Descended from these early Portuguese settlers, the Burghers are a small community who still speak a Portuguese Creole and in the company of Sonny Ockersz Lucy attends a party at the Burgher Union Hall, to hear their unique wedding music and learn how the community have picked up the pieces after the devastating tsunami of 2004.

Batticaloa is also famous for its singing fish. A documented phenomenon, legend has it that if you head out into the middle of the lagoon at midnight on a full moon you can hear the fish sing, if you're happy to brave the alligators and a tipsy boatman that is.

Back on the West coast of Sri Lanka there exists a community smaller than the Burghers, but who also trace their roots back to the 16th century. Proudly calling themselves Kaffirs, this group of musicians from Sirambiadiya are descended from African slaves brought to Sri Lanka from Mozambique by the Portuguese, as soldiers to fight against the Sinhalese Kings. With a population dwindling, the Kaffir Manja group still play the music of their ancestors, and transport a little bit of East Africa to the Indian Ocean.

Lucy ends her journey round the island with a Sri Lankan national obsession. At cricket matches throughout the recent Cricket World Cup, the sound of the Pappare bands could be heard egging on supporters and players. With their cross-cultural repertoire of Tamil, Sinhala and Hindi popular songs and film hits the Kuja Pappara band are one of the best in town, and recording their session they get the whole neighbourhood dancing!

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b014qqq2)
Carl Nielsen (1865-1931)

A Free Spirit

The Danish composer Carl Nielsen stands at the helm of Scandinavian music. A master symphonist, he's widely regarded as one of the most important composers of his generation. But at the end of the nineteenth century, Nielsen's adventurous and free spirited outlook was regarded with some suspicion. In some quarters his music was deemed to be cool and academic, until his Third Symphony marked a turning point in his career, garnering praise from Nielsen's advocates and opponents alike.

Today Donald Macleod explores the reasons behind some of these differing opinions.


MON 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b014qskb)
Till Fellner

The Vienna-born pianist Till Fellner has made a considerable reputation playing music from the Austro-German tradition and in this live concert from London's Wigmore Hall he begins with one of Haydn's finest and wittiest sonatas. Schumann's 'Scenes from Childhood' contain some of the little pieces that many a young pianist has tackled - but the complete set manages to be both sparkling and touching. Finally in this, his bicentennial year, the music of Liszt. The Petrarch Sonnets form part of his so-called 'Year of Pilgrimage' to Italy, when he was deeply moved by the writings of the great 14th-century poet. Liszt repsonds with music of great passion and tenderness.

Presented by Louise Fryer

Till Fellner (piano)

Haydn: Piano Sonata in C major Hob.XVI:50
Schumann: Kinderszenen Op. 15
Liszt: Petrarch Sonnets Nos. 104 and 123 (from Années de Pèlerinage: Deuxième Année: Italie ).


MON 14:00 Afternoon Concert (b014qskd)
Money Isn't Everything

Episode 1

Some of the world's most famous composers came from extremely poor backgrounds. This week's Composer of the Week, Carl Nielsen, grew up with 11 siblings in a cottage with just a few rooms. Franz Schubert, born in a single-room apartment, was one of 14 children, nine of whom died in infancy. Edward Elgar left school at 15 to earn his living, and - as a working-class boy made good - never felt at ease in the upper echelons of society to which his music gained him access; perhaps that's precisely why he cultivated his image as an English country gentleman.

This week Katie Derham presents the BBC's orchestras and BBC Singers in music by composers who struggled against extreme adversity to make their way in the world by the force of their musical talent - even genius. There's music by Elgar on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and a special focus on composers born in the Czech lands on both Tuesday and Thursday - with country boys Dvorak, Janacek, Mahler and Martinu developing the rich folk music culture of their native land. And among the music in this first programme is a special new recording of perhaps the greatest symphony by a Swedish composer born on the other side of the tracks exactly 100 years ago today: Allan Pettersson.


MON 16:30 In Tune (b014qskg)

Bamberg Symphony Orchestra - Ravel

EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2011

The inventiveness and brilliance of a single composer is celebrated in this all-Ravel programme given by the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra under its Principal Conductor, Jonathan Nott. Recorded at the Usher Hall, 3rd September 2011.

Ravel's experimental set of Waltzes shocked audiences of his day with its combination of classical charm and acerbic modernity while his ballet Daphnis et Chloe, written for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes has a rich and sumptuous score, complete with wordless chorus performed here by the Edinburgh Festival Chorus.
Pianist Pierre-Laurend Aimard performs his powerful and sometime dark Concerto for Left Hand, commissioned by Paul Wittgenstein who lost his right arm in the First World War.

Golding Remembered

Judy Golding

Marking the centenary of the birth of the Nobel-winning novelist William Golding, Judy Golding gives a very personal reflection on the rich and strange ways her father's imagination worked.

From her unique perspective, she talks about how William Golding used childhood memories and everyday observations - making them unsettling details in his novels - and blurred the boundary between memory and imagination.

She says "He was extremely - perhaps excessively - imaginative."

Judy Golding recently published a memoir about her upbringing, called The Children of Lovers.

This week, The Essay marks the centenary of William Golding's birth (19th September 1911), with five programmes looking at different aspects of the novelist's work and life.

William Golding is known for novels including Lord of the Flies, The Inheritors and The Spire. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983, the Booker Prize for Rites of Passage in 1980 and was knighted in 1988. He died in 1993.

Neset has been mentored by Django Bates for a number of years, appearing in his stoRMChaser and Human Chain bands. His quartet for this performance features pianist Nick Ramm, and Phronesis's Jasper Høiby (bass) and Anton Eger (drums).

TUE 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b014qspg)
West Cork Chamber Music Festival 2011

Episode 1

Sean Rafferty travels to the south west of Ireland and to the historic town of Bantry, where nature and music exist in perfect accord. The Palladian splendour of the library at Bantry House is the venue for much of the music making, which takes place during the last week of June, and the library double doors open out over the lush beauty and splendour of the Italian inspired terraced gardens and up to the 100 steps, known locally as Lord Bantry's Stairway to Heaven.

Today music by Ravel, Brett Dean and Janáček, recorded at Bantry House and St Brendan's Church on Wolf Tone Square in the town. Violinist, Tai Murray with pianist, Gilles Vonsattel begin today's Lunchtime concert with Ravel's jazz-infused Violin Sonata; then the composer in residence, Brett Dean's, Huntington Eulogy - a work which reflect s the natural beauty of the Mudgee region of New South Wales and is also a tribute to a young cellarmaster at Huntington Estate Winery who died in 2001.

Here I can find a place for my most beautiful melodies. "

Some of the world's most famous composers came from extremely poor backgrounds. This week's Composer of the Week, Carl Nielsen, grew up with 11 siblings in a cottage with just a few rooms. The young Johannes Brahms had to help his family survive by playing in taverns alongside his feckless father, while his mother struggled against ill health working her fingers to the bone as a seamstress. Edward Elgar left school at 15 to earn his living, and - as a working-class boy made good - never felt at ease in the upper echelons of society to which his music gained him access; perhaps that's precisely why he cultivated his image as an English country gentleman.

The Passenger, David Adjaye

The verdict on director David Pountney's latest opera for ENO, the Polish composer Mieczysław Weinberg's The Passenger. A harrowing tale of life in Auschwitz, the opera was banned in the USSR, and only received its stage premiere last year.

As a new report from Unicef highlights the cycle of 'compulsive consumption' many modern parents find themselves trapped in, and Europe's biggest urban shopping mall opens in East London, Anne McElvoy and guests debate whether we are entering a new post-materialist era. Has the digital age fazed out the primacy of things or added to the plethora of 'stuff' we feel compelled to have?

Plus, leading architect David Adjaye talks to Anne about his ambitious new project: a seven volume survey of Africa's architecture, which has taken a decade of travelling to over fifty major African cities to compile.

And as the satirical magazine Private Eye turns fifty, Anne gets a behind the scenes look at the publication's headquarters in London's Soho, and talks to reporter Adam Macqueen about fifty years of libel, scoops, feuds and jokes.


TUE 22:45 The Essay (b014qsr0)
Golding Remembered

John Carey

William Golding's biographer John Carey examines the famous novelists complex and changeable relationship with religion and the way this was reflected in his novels.

Golding was brought up in an atheistic household, but his Second World War experiences made him devoutly religious. His stance on religion fluctuated throughout his life - at one point he believed in Gaia the Earth goddess. It was Golding who suggested the name Gaia to his friend James Lovelock, for Lovelock's hypothesis on the Earth.

In writing the biography, John Carey was granted unique access to letters, journals and unpublished works - material which has never before been made public. Here he sketches a revelatory portrait of a man with many sides: war hero, schoolteacher, family man.

In this series, the Essay marks the centenary of William Golding's birth (19th September 1911), with five programmes looking at different aspects of the novelist's work and life.

William Golding is known for novels including Lord of the Flies, The Inheritors and The Spire. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983, the Booker Prize for Rites of Passage in 1980 and was knighted in 1988. He died in 1993.

West Cork Chamber Music Festival 2011

Episode 2

Sean Rafferty is at Bantry House in the south west of Ireland to introduce the 2011 West Cork Chamber Music Festival.

Today's concert begins with the Horn Trio in E flat Op. 40 by Brahms. Brahms played the horn and it is believed that the slow movement of this work was a lament on the death of his mother. The Piano Quartet in E flat op. 47 was composed in 1842, the year which has become known as Schumann's Chamber Music Year. During the spring and summer Schumann studied quartets by Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn and during the last six months of the year he composed this Piano Quartet, three string quartets, the Piano Quintet and the

WED 14:00 Afternoon Concert (b014qsvf)
Money Isn't Everything

Episode 3

Some of the world's most famous composers came from extremely poor backgrounds. This week's Composer of the Week, Carl Nielsen, grew up with 11 siblings in a cottage with just a few rooms. Domenico Cimarosa's father, a stonemason, died in a fall while working when Domenico was very young, and his mother had to scrape together a living by taking in washing. Edward Elgar left school at 15 to earn his living, and - as a working-class boy made good - never felt at ease in the upper echelons of society to which his music gained him access; perhaps that's precisely why he cultivated his image as an English country gentleman.

This week Katie Derham presents the BBC's orchestras and BBC Singers in music by composers who struggled against extreme adversity to make their way in the world by the force of their musical talent - even genius. There's music by Elgar on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and a special focus on composers born in the Czech lands on both Tuesday and Thursday - with country boys Dvorak, Janacek, Mahler and Martinu developing the rich folk music culture of their native land.

Today's programme ends with a complete performance of Nielsen's great symphony expressing his belief in the inextinguishable force of life.

Mike Leigh's New Play - Grief

As a new exhibition about Postmodernism opens at the V and A museum in London, Matthew Sweet and guests discuss whether we should start writing the obituary for a movement that defined the last few decades of art and culture in the western world. Amongst his guests is the architecture critic Charles Jencks, who coined the term in 1975.

And, a review of 'Grief', the new play by Mike Leigh which tonight receives its world premiere at the National Theatre in London. It stars Lesley Manville, who's appeared in every Mike Leigh film since 1999, alongside regulars Marion Bailey, Sam Kelly and Wendy Nottingham. But, the play itself has been shrouded in secrecy - its title 'Grief' was only revealed two weeks ago and little else is known about it. Matthew will be hot-footing it back from the theatre to pass his verdict on it, along with Nightwaves' theatre critic Susannah Clapp.

Matthew also talks to Imran Khan - the most famous person in Pakistan. He grew up with his new country and achieved his dream of leading it to world status on the international cricket stage, a sport that is a close second to religion as the most important element in the lives of ordinary Pakistanis.

And now, if he is to be believed in his latest book, 'Pakistan, A Personal History', he is waiting in the wings to lead his country politically. He's electioneering on an anti corruption, anti war on terror ticket, lambasting the indiscriminate warfare that he believes America has brought to his beautiful country. He brings a potent message of self-determination and empowerment and recent figures show that he has a majority of popular support in the country, made up crucially of the young, unemployed who are standing on the street corners.


WED 22:45 The Essay (b014qsxc)
Golding Remembered

Nigel Williams

Marking the centenary of novelist William Golding's birth, writer and dramatist Nigel Williams talks about Golding's Lord of the Flies and his act of reimagining it for the stage. The invitation to dramatise one of the most important novels of the twentieth century, led to some memorable encounters with the Nobel prize-winning novelist.

Williams' terrifying dramatisation of Lord of the Flies is frequently performed and was recently staged in the Summer 2011 season at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre.

In 1953, William Golding was a provincial schoolteacher, writing books in his spare time. His manuscript had been rejected by many publishers until an editor at Faber fished it out of the slush pile. This was to become Lord of the Flies, a book that would sell in its millions and bring Golding worldwide recognition. The message in Lord of the Flies - that inside every child lurks a wild beast, barely contained by society - has made it one of the most chilling and compulsively readable novels of the twentieth century, and an allegory for every lapse in humanity since the Second World War.

This week, The Essay marks the centenary of William Golding's birth (19th September 1911), with five programmes looking at different aspects of the novelist's work and life.

William Golding is known for novels including Lord of the Flies, The Inheritors and The Spire. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983, the Booker Prize for Rites of Passage in 1980 and was knighted in 1988. He died in 1993.

Thursday Opera Matinee

Janacek - Katya Kabanova

Ask any soprano for the most truthful portraits of women in opera, and somewhere near the top of their list will be Janacek's Katya Kabanova. Janacek doesn't seem to have been able to empathise with his own wife, but he had no problem doing so with his operatic heroines - and Katya, perhaps, most of all. A carefree young woman trapped in an oppressive society, and in a marriage with a decent man but a sadistic, domineering mother-in-law, Katya finds her own needs and feelings stifled at every turn. Can she find happiness?

Based on a nineteenth-century Russian play, Katya Kabanova is broadcast in conjunction with the Radio 4 focus this week on the twentieth-century Russian novel 'Life and Fate'. This new Vienna State Opera production starts in a small nineteenth-century Russian village, but ends in 'Little Odessa' - the Russian enclave of New York City, after the Second World War.

So what more appropriate way to follow Janacek's masterpiece than with the world-famous symphony written across the Atlantic by his older compatriot Dvorak.

Golding Remembered

Craig Raine

The poet and critic Craig Raine examines the writing style of Nobel Prize-winning novelist William Golding, with a look at his 1964 novel, The Spire. Taking a forensic critical approach, Raine considers Golding's powers of description and absorbing use of symbolism in the book.

The novel is about the erection of a spire on a medieval cathedral - a project that is the vision of the cathedral's Dean, Jocelin. Ignoring warnings that the cathedral has insufficient foundations to support the structure, Jocelin pushes his plan forward - with terrible emotional, financial and spiritual consequences.

In this series, The Essay marks the centenary of William Golding's birth (19th September 1911), with five programmes looking at different aspects of the novelist's work and life.

William Golding is known for novels including Lord of the Flies, The Inheritors and The Spire. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983, the Booker Prize for Rites of Passage in 1980 and was knighted in 1988. He died in 1993.

Elgar's Caractacus

As part of the 2011 Three Choirs Festival, Sir Andrew Davis takes to the podium at Worcester Cathedral to conduct Elgar's dramatic cantata based on the legend of British chieftain Caractacus.

This was the Herefordshire Beacon in the Malvern Hills, not far from Worcester, where, according to legend, Caractacus made his last, doomed stand against the Romans.

Golding Remembered

John Gray

Political philosopher John Gray examines William Golding's highly original views on the nature of man, evil and civilisation. He discusses Golding's second novel The Inheritors - which follows a group of Neanderthals, as their way of life is changed for ever by the appearance of homo sapiens.

John Gray has written several influential books on politics and philosophy including the groundbreaking examination of the nature of humanity: Straw Dogs: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals.

In this series, The Essay marks the centenary of William Golding's birth (19th September 1911), with five programmes looking at different aspects of the novelist's work and life.

William Golding is known for novels including Lord of the Flies, The Inheritors and The Spire. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983, the Booker Prize for Rites of Passage in 1980 and was knighted in 1988. He died in 1993.
