A selection of music including the Essential CD of the Week: Frederick Fennell conducting the London Pops and Eastman-Rochester Pops Orchestras:
A daily brainteaser and performances by the Artist of the Week, the clarinettist Eduard Brunner.
Rob Cowan's guest for the week is artist Jonathan Yeo who made his name as a contemporary portraitist in the late 1990s, exhibiting frequently at the National Portrait Gallery. Jonathan introduces his essential pieces of classical music.
Donald Macleod examines the extraordinary partnership Richard Strauss enjoyed with the soprano, Pauline de Ahna. The couple were married for over fifty years, despite her fiery temper and unreasonable demands, although given her frequent outbursts, to some of their contemporaries at least, it was difficult to understand why. What's indisputable is the amount of music Pauline inspired, and Strauss's ability to write music of incomparable beauty for the soprano voice.
This week's Lunchtime Concerts are highlights from the annual Frick Collection chamber series in New York. Today's broadcast includes mezzo-soprano Renata Pokupic singing Schumann's Maria Stuart Lieder, Anthony Marwood playing Beethoven's Violin Sonata No.6, pianist Martin Helmchen with 6 Little Pieces by Arnold Schoenberg, and the Moscow String Quartet performing Sofia Gubaidulina's third quartet.
The Frick Collection is one of the preeminent small art museums in the United States, with a very high-quality collection of old master paintings and fine furniture housed in 6 galleries within the formerly occupied residential mansion. The collection features some of the best-known paintings by major European artists, as well as numerous works of sculpture and porcelain. It also has 18th century French furniture, Limoges enamel, and Oriental rugs. The concert series has been running for more than 60 years.
Today Riccardo Chailly conducts the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in Shostakovich's lively Suite No 2 for Jazz Orchestra, and in Nino Rota's music for the 1954 Fellini film La Strada.
Mahler described his vast Symphony No 8 as a joyful 'gift to the nation'. Nicknamed the 'Symphony of a Thousand' the programme from the first performance states that it required 858 singers and 171 instrumentalists. Written in a ten week burst of inspiration in 1906, its premiere four years later was a great success and marked the climax of Mahler's career as a conductor-composer. Just eight months later he was dead. Pierre Boulez conducts the Berlin Staatskapelle with a starry line up of soloists including Michelle De Young and Robert Holl.

Live from the Barbican Hall, London The LSO play two masterworks by Bartok and Szymanowski's headily erotic 'Song of the Night'
Conductor-composer, Pete Eotvos brings his keen sense of orchestral colour to the subtle string writing and eery percussion sounds of the Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste of 1936. Whilst violinist, Nicolaj Znaider's deeply thoughtful virtuosity should perfectly match the musical and emotional challenges of the Bartok concerto written soon afterwards. And both these work's haunting 'night music' scenes should make a perfect companion to Szymanowski's Third Symphony, The Song of the Night - a setting of the Sufi poet, Rumi inhabits a vast nocturnal landscape, in which a human spirit ascends to join with the divine, soaring into the ether. Languorous sensuality radiates through this all-encompassing score.
Victorian women cast a long shadow over our imaginations.... just think of Charlotte Bronte and Jane Eyre: or of George Eliot and Maggie Tulliver come to that. But do we do enough to differentiate between the fictional characters and the real women? What lies beneath our perceptions of either? Matthew Sweet embarks on an exploration of the Victorian woman's psyche with the writers, Kate Summerscale and Sarah Ruhl and the historians, Kate Williams and Lynda Nead. There's no guarantee of madwomen in the attic but there will certainly be talk about Kate Summerscale's new book, Mrs Robinson's Disgrace and of Elizabeth Jenkins' novel, Harriet -- a re-discovered classic about the infamous Penge murder in 1877. Sarah Ruhl is bound to talk about her new play which embraces that very Victorian problem hysteria and its not so well known remedy - the vibrator. And Kate Williams and Lynda Nead will range freely across the whole period and into the present where we now encounter New Victorians. Tune in to Night Waves with Matthew Sweet at ten o'clock and all will be revealed.
Lucian Freud was intense and unwavering in his approach to portraiture. Here Martin Gayford, 'Man with a Blue Scarf', describes the experience of sitting for many hours for Freud over a period of 18 months.
In that time Gayford had ample opportunity to watch the artist in action - while he himself was being scrutinised in the finest detail, 'something between transcendental meditation and a visit to the barber's'.
Gayford explains how the portrait slowly came together, his reactions to the finished work and what he learned about Lucian Freud the man over their 'long dinner party for two' during its painting .
Max Reinhardt's selection includes Lucas Santtana's remixes, Lukas Ligeti's Burkina Electric, György Ligeti's Musica Ricercata, Abdullah Ibrahim's Tintinyana and Jenny Hval's Engines in the City.

Episode 2
Louise Fryer continues this week's performances by Berlin's great orchestras.
In a red letter day for all music lovers, two musical legends perform with the Berlin Philharmonic. Claudio Abbado, the orchestra's former principal conductor and pianist, Maurizio Pollini, renew an old friendship in Mozart's Piano Concerto no 17 in G, K.453. Abbado then brings a lifetime's musical wisdom to Mahler's final symphonic utterance: the Adagio from his Tenth Symphony,. This Berlin concert also includes the suite from Lulu by Alban Berg, another composer with whom Abbado has long been associated. The orchestra is joined in the Berg by the young English-Austrian soprano Anna Prohaska, who opens the programme with two Mozart arias.

British composers Debbie Wiseman and Christopher Gunning visit the In Tune studio to perform extracts from and discuss an exciting new collaborative work, the 'New Water Music', celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The piece draws on Handel's original titles, with each composer contributing a movement and will be performed on a barge as part of the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant.
And tromobonist Jorgen van Rijen demonstrates exercises for perfect technique, before his masterclass at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama this Saturday. He will discuss Kalevi Aho's Trombone Concerto, which he is due to perform with the BBCSO.

Live from the Lighthouse, Poole
Khachaturian, Rachmaninov
Presented by Catherine Bott
Live from the Lighthouse, Poole
Nikolai Lugansky joins the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto. Also on the programme: Khachaturian's Gayaneh Suite and Walton's First Symphony.
Gayaneh, set in a Soviet Armenian cotton co-operative, is full of Khatchaturian's typically exuberant, exotic colours that slip from rich to garish, and towering climaxes that tumble into the brutal and bombastic.
With his Second Piano Concerto, Rachmaninov not only overcame his writer's block, but he found a new voice as a composer - one with a perfect knack for unforgettable tunes, dazzling pianistic effects, an effortless flow of ideas, and a very suave sense of style. It quickly became Rachmaninov's greatest hit and one of the most popular concertos of the twentieth century.
In musical terms, Walton's First Symphony is a landmark of English. Its turbulent emotions and high-voltage energy were the fruit of tempestuous events surrounding Walton at the time. It consists of an eloquent, dramatic first movement, a stinging, malicious Scherzo and a thoroughly melancholic slow movement. The finale, though, is totally different in outlook, an almost Elgarian ceremonial jubilation, as if a cloud has lifted.

Bittersweet Symphony
'Symphonies are a lot of work to write. Too much. One has to have something really appalling happen to one, that lets loose the fount of inspiration.' (William Walton)
Walton can be a composer who divides opinion but his First Symphony is generally acknowledged as a masterpiece. But what was his "appalling" inspiration for this turbulent and deeply felt work?
Louise Fryer visits some landmarks of Walton's 1930s London and talks to Walton expert Stephen Johnson and conductor Andrew Litton to tell a story of love, heartache, struggle and triumph.

Germaine Greer
Paula Rego's portrait of Germaine Greer is one of the most popular in the National Portrait Gallery. Greer describes the friendship and respect that made the portrait possible. She wouldn't have sat for a portrait had it NOT been Paula, whose work Greer hugely admires.
Greer explains her misgivings about portraiture which she considers 'a minor art form at best...made by artists working in a self-limiting genre'. Worst of all are portraits of women - which are vapid or flattering or soulless.
What then was the key to the success of this portrait and how did it come about?

Strauss Portraits
Episode 4
Like many in the artistic community, the aftermath of the second world war was a period of introspection and practical difficulty for Richard Strauss. Having remained in Germany during the war, due to his dealings with the Nazi party, when hostilities ceased, he found himself under investigation. As he looked on his beloved country and the destruction of the opera houses he'd worked in over many years, he felt he was witness to the destruction of 2000 years of German culture. With Donald Macleod and guest Professor Julian Johnson from Royal Holloway, University of London.

The Halle - Mozart, Mahler
Presented by Tom McKinney
Live from the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester
Tom McKinney introduces a special concert from the Hallé orchestra celebrating the centenary of Kathleen Ferrier's birth and the 50th anniversary of her last performance of Das Lied von der Erde with the orchestra. Under the baton of music director Sir Mark Elder, the Hallé play Mozart's Symphony no. 40 in G minor, a work suffused with the composer's grief at the death of his six-month old daughter. And in the second half they are joined by mezzo-soprano Alice Coote and tenor Lars Cleveman for their collected tribute to Ferrier - Das Lied von der Erde, Mahler's extraordinary response to the loss of his own daughter, a work which fully explores his intense feelings of sorrow and solitude.

Bring Up the Bodies, 56 Up, Babel
Anne McElvoy talks to Hilary Mantel about her new historical novel Bring up the Bodies. It's the follow up to her prize winning Wolf Hall, and examines the downfall of Anne Boleyn.
Michael Apted is the film maker behind the ground-breaking television documentary project which has been following the lives of a selection of English people at seven year intervals. The project began when the participants, primarily selected for their class origins, were 7 years old Anne talks to him as latest instalment, 56 Up, is about to be shown on ITV.
Susannah Clapp reviews Babel, the latest project from the immersive theatre company who won plaudits for last year's mammoth theatrical extravaganza, The Passion, in Port Talbot. This event has been commissioned for World Stages London as part of the Cultural Olympiad and uses the biblical story of the Tower of Babel as a starting point around which to organise 500 performers in an outdoor performance that has been billed as the theatrical event of the year.
THU 22:45 The Essay (b01h625m)
Here's Looking at Me
Akram Khan
Akram Khan agreed to be the subject of a portrait for the National Portrait Gallery. But how is an artist chosen? And what are the difficulties of depicting a man who says 'there's no division between Akram Khan the dancer and Akram Khan the man'? A normal 'sitting' would make no sense.
So we follow Khan's story of capturing movement - how the traditional expressions of Kathak dance were interpreted by Fakhr in a contemporary way and made into a nine-panel sepia portrait which captured the dancer in action.
The result is a portrait that is both deeply rooted in tradition and yet vivid describes Khan in various moods and attitudes.

Strauss Portraits
Episode 5
Like many in the artistic community, the aftermath of the second world war was a period of introspection and practical difficulty for Richard Strauss. Having remained in Germany during the war, due to his dealings with the Nazi party, when hostilities ceased, he found himself under investigation. As he looked on his beloved country and the destruction of the opera houses he'd worked in over many years, he felt he was witness to the destruction of 2000 years of German culture. With Donald Macleod and guest Professor Julian Johnson from Royal Holloway, University of London.

BBC SSO - Mozart, Bruckner
Live from the Music Hall, Aberdeen
Mozart's Clarinet Concerto was one of the last pieces he completed before his death. Composed for the basset clarinet - lower pitched than the modern instrument - it has a very special colour, most obviously in the profoundly melancholic beauty of its slow movement. Here it's played by one of the world's leading clarinettists, Martin Fröst. Bruckner's Seventh Symphony is perhaps his most popular. In Donald Runnicles the BBC SSO is fortunate to have a Chief Conductor who understands better than most how to shape Bruckner's magnificent musical architecture, golden melodies and overwhelming climaxes.

Here's Looking at Me
Robert Winston
'I am hiding'. That's Robert Winston's observation about the portrait of him by Tom Wood which is in the National Portrait Gallery collection. 'I am like a person who is about to be found out'.
In this programme Winston - who is both a doctor, a scientist, an English professor, television presenter and a politician in the House of Lords - talks about the nature of portraiture and the purpose it serves.
He compares two images of himself - the painted version by Wood and a dramatic photographic image, also owned by the NPG, by Julia Fullerton - Batten. He reflects on the relationship between painting and photography in portraiture and the claims by both that they offer 'the truth'.
