By the end of the Great War, Sir Edward Elgar couldn't compose any music to celebrate peace, disillusioned as he was by the whole period, which Donald Macleod explores in conversation with Terry Charman from the Imperial War Museum. At the outbreak of war, Elgar was noted for being more concerned about his beloved horses, than for any soldiers fighting. Little did anyone know how many horses or people would die in this conflict, which lasted more than the predicted three months. Elgar did do his bit though, joining the Special Reserve, conducting charity concerts to raise much needed funds, and composing the odd bit of jingoistic music to rally the people. It is the Great War period back at home in Great Britain, with Zeppelin raids, German cruisers shelling Whitby and Scarborough, to xenophobic riots in London, which Donald Macleod explores tracing how these events affected the life and music of Sir Edward Elgar.
1914, and in the age of Empire and British supremacy at sea, it was the Edwardian Golden Summer. Few people realised that war was looming, and commissions were coming in for Elgar, such as from the Sons of Clergy Festival at St. Paul's Cathedral, for which he composed his anthem Give unto the Lord. Soon, with motor vehicles requisitioned, and the unmistakable increase of men in khaki, the Great War had begun. Elgar soon received his first war commission in aid of the Belgian Fund, writing a work for narrator and orchestra, Carillon. But many of Elgar's most fierce supporters were German, including Hans Richter, to whom he dedicated his Three Bavarian Dances.

Suzy Klein presents, with live music and guests from the music world - including composer Nicola Lefanu, whose new opera, Dream Hunter, premieres at Wilton's Music Hall in London this week.
A concert of remarkable G minor symphonies by Mozart and Czech contemporary Kozeluch which frame arias by Mozart.
Ian Page conducts a programme featuring the two magnificent concert arias conceived by Mozart for the celebrated Czech soprano Josepha Duschek. One story has it that the soprano kept Mozart locked up in a pavilion in her garden until he had written 'Bella mia fiamma' for her - Mozart allegedly retaliated by writing an extremely tricky part for the soloist - certainly it's a work which tests any soprano. Tonight the soprano is the young South African - Sarah-Jane Brandon - who has won rave reviews since winning the Kathleen Ferrier Competition in 2009.
These arias are framed by two symphonies in G minor - Mozart's 40th Symphony was one of only two symphonies he wrote in a minor key and has become one of his most popular pieces. Much less well known is
the G minor Symphony of Czech composer Leopold Kozeluch, a contemporary of Mozart - and sometimes bitter rival - but very popular at the time in Vienna. Compare their works in this intriguing programme.
Mozart - Ah, lo previdi. Ah, t'invola agl'occhi miei
Mozart - E Susanna non vien. Dove sono i bei momenti from Le nozze di Figaro
Mozart - Bella mia fiamma. Resta, o cara

Edward Elgar (1857-1934)
Elgar and the Zeppelin Raids on London
By the end of the Great War, Sir Edward Elgar couldn't compose any music to celebrate peace, disillusioned as he was by the whole period, which Donald Macleod explores in conversation with Terry Charman from the Imperial War Museum.
At the beginning of 1915 came the realisation that the Great War was not going to be over in three months. German cruisers had been shelling Whitby and Scarborough, and Zeppelin raids were happening over London. Keen to do his bit, Elgar joined the Hampstead Special Reserve, being called out when needed for air-raid duties. He also started to compose a work genuinely inspired by the pity of war and the inhumanity of warfare, The Spirit of England. But with the sinking of the Lusitania, riots took place in London, and xenophobia was on the rise. At this very same time, Elgar was writing his Polonia, a symphonic prelude in aid of the Polish Relief Fund. However, what the people needed more than anything, was escapism, and Elgar supplied it by returning to fairyland, with his Starlight Express.

Precisely. And when Herr Zipper, Caesar's father, decides that the boy must learn the violin all hell lets loose. The boy goes to lessons for two years before Herr Zipper makes a shocking discovery, which leads to family confrontation.

Web activist Wael Ghonim discusses how his Facebook postings came to play a major role in the recent uprising in Egypt. After using online posts to successfully organise several flash mob protests, Ghonim was eventually arrested. He reflects on the part new media has played in the events of the Arab Spring and whether - as Mubarak's trial continues - his revolutionary aims have been achieved.

Celtic Connections 2012
Episode 1
Mary Ann Kennedy live from Glasgow at the world's biggest winter music festival. The first of four Late Night Sessions, with a top line-up of festival artists and also recorded concert highlights.
Celtic Connections is held in 20 venues over 18 days with 300 events taking place throughout the whole festival, involving over 2100 musicians from 26 countries. Scots and Irish celtic music is at the centre of the festival, but it has always embraced the music of the celtic cultures of the USA, Canada, France and Spain, together with the closely connected cultures of Scandinavia and eastern Europe. In recent years the Festival has also connected with traditions across Africa and Asia. The concerts range from the most traditional to the most experimental, all brought together in the context of one of the world's liveliest folk cultures, with a never-ending stream of young Scottish musicians who are reinventing their own traditions for their own time.
For the past three years, World on 3 has hosted some of the Festival's Late Night Sessions at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall. These start late, and finish early, usually well into the next day. Bands often come straight from a concert in a main venue to play at the Sessions. World on 3 hosts the Late Night Sessions for four nights during the final week of the Festival, from Tuesday 31st January until Friday 3rd February.
The line-up of the Late Night Sessions is always kept secret until the day of the event.

Elgar and the Gramophone Company
By the end of the Great War, Sir Edward Elgar couldn't compose any music to celebrate peace, disillusioned as he was by the whole period, which Donald Macleod explores in conversation with Terry Charman from the Imperial War Museum.
The Great War dragged on, and by 1916 the government was forced to introduce compulsory national service. Elgar found himself touring the North of England and Scotland, with morale-raising concerts and music including To Women from The Spirit of England. But Elgar was unwell even before the war started, and war events combined with his exhausting work were dragging him down. His wife Alice refused to let Elgar accept the offer of a conducting tour of Russia, due to his ill health. He still managed though to keep working on a theme or two of his, such as his incomplete Piano Concerto, and a jingoistic work Fight for Right.

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra - Beethoven, Rachmaninov, Shostakovich
Presented by Martin Handley
Live from the Lighthouse, Poole
Marin Alsop conducts the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in music by Beethoven and Shostakovich. They are joined by pianist Denis Kozhukhin for Rachmaninov's Paganini Rhapsody.
The American conductor Marin Alsop was Principal Conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra for six years and is now Conductor Emeritus. She is always a welcome return visitor and this concert is eagerly anticipated. Orchestra and conductor are joined by the Russian-born pianist Denis Kozhukhin (a prizewinner at the 2006 Leeds International Piano Competition) for one of Rachmaninov's most popular concert pieces.
Th concert begins with one of Beethoven's attempts to write an overture for the opera we now know as Fidelio and it's a dramatic summary of the opera's plot. Rachmaninov's Paganini Rhapsody manages to be both technically ingenious and full of the highest of spirits - and in its 18th variation it also contains one of Rachmaninov's most glorious melodies. Shostakovich wrote his 5th Symphony at a time when he faced a crisis in his life and had come into direct confrontation with no less a figure than Josef Stalin. His response was one of his most powerful symphonies that has proved to be both hugely popular and somewhat enigmatic - there are secrets hidden within!

Celtic Connections 2012
Episode 2
Mary Ann Kennedy live from Glasgow at the world's biggest winter music festival. The second of four Late Night Sessions, with a top line-up of festival artists and also recorded concert highlights.
Celtic Connections is held in 20 venues over 18 days with 300 events taking place throughout the whole festival, involving over 2100 musicians from 26 countries. Scots and Irish celtic music is at the centre of the festival, but it has always embraced the music of the celtic cultures of the USA, Canada, France and Spain, together with the closely connected cultures of Scandinavia and eastern Europe. In recent years the Festival has also connected with traditions across Africa and Asia. The concerts range from the most traditional to the most experimental, all brought together in the context of one of the world's liveliest folk cultures, with a never-ending stream of young Scottish musicians who are reinventing their own traditions for their own time.
For the past three years, World on 3 has hosted some of the Festival's Late Night Sessions at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall. These start late, and finish early, usually well into the next day. Bands often come straight from a concert in a main venue to play at the Sessions. World on 3 hosts the Late Night Sessions for four nights during the final week of the Festival, from Tuesday 31st January until Friday 3rd February.
The line-up of the Late Night Sessions is always kept secret until the day of the event.

Edward Elgar (1857-1934)
Elgar and The Fringes of the Fleet
By the end of the Great War, Sir Edward Elgar couldn't compose any music to celebrate peace, disillusioned as he was by the whole period, which Donald Macleod explores in conversation with Terry Charman from the Imperial War Museum.
With no end in sight for the war, it continued on into 1917. This is when Elgar heard of the death of his friend and supporter Hans Richter, who had given the premiere of some of Elgar's best known works, including the Enigma Variations. Things however were starting to change in Britain, with a new government, and the introduction of convoys to protect cargo and hospital ships from the German u-boat campaign. But with the continued reports of atrocities on the front line, and increased deprivations at home, Elgar finally found the stimulus to finish his work The Spirit of England, with a setting of The Fourth of August. It wasn't only war music which Elgar concentrated on during this time, as he also composed his only ballet incorporating 18th century French costumes and classical mythology, in The Sanguine Fan.

Steven Isserlis and the BBC SSO conducted by Donald Runnicles play Debussy and Ravel.
Two great orchestral portraits by Debussy and Ravel - of the ocean and of fin-de-siècle Vienna - begin and end the concert. But between them, two rarities for cello and orchestra - fruits of Steven Isserlis's restless quest to expand the cello repertoire. Most exciting is the 'lost' early Cello Suite by Debussy. Sally Beamish has beautifully orchestrated the two surviving movements and arranged three other pieces to sit alongside them, making a substantial 'new' work.

Ravel: La valse
We think of the waltz as the apotheosis of elegance, refinement, high society. But it wasn't always so...
In today's "Discovering Music", Stephen Johnson explores the roots of the waltz - from rustic German dances, to sinister, dizzy treatments by Schumann and Mahler - before looking in-depth at "La Valse" by Maurice Ravel. Ravel was fascinated by the history and cultural trappings of the waltz form - as well as its dark underbelly...and his "choreographic poem" for orchestra is a dazzling evocation of gliding dancers warped and transmuted into something rather more sinister...

Edward Elgar (1857-1934)
Armistice Declared, But No Celebration for Elgar
By the end of the Great War, Sir Edward Elgar couldn't compose any music to celebrate peace, disillusioned as he was by the whole period, which Donald Macleod explores in conversation with Terry Charman from the Imperial War Museum.
By 1918, Elgar had stomach problems and was continually unwell, finally being operated on to remove his tonsils. Compared to what hundreds of thousands were enduring in the trench warfare of the first world war, this was no great thing, but Elgar was 61 and not in great shape. Once installed with his wife in a rustic thatched cottage in West Sussex to recuperate, his creativity started to flow again, in particular sketching out a germ of a theme on his piano entitled "?", which would later become part of his Cello Concerto. There were also more rustic pursuits, including gardening and fishing, but then came an official request from the Ministry of Food for a new war work, Big Steamers. When the Armistice was signed, with his Land of Hope and Glory proving ever popular, Elgar did not feel inclined to compose any work in celebration of peace. Many of his friends had died, and his life was dramatically changed for ever.
