Catherine Bott talks to Owen Rees about the musical legacy of King Joao IV of Portugal and the so-called Golden Age of Portuguese polyphony. In 1578, the young king of Portugal, Sebastian led an ill-considered crusade against the Moors of Morocco. He was routed at the battle of Alcazar-Quivir and disappeared without trace, leaving his succession and the fate of his nation on a knife-edge. Of the six claimants to the Portuguese monarchy, the most powerful was Philip II of Spain, whose invading army conquered the country in 1581. Neither Philip nor his two successors acknowledged Portugal's cultural or ethnic independence and treated her as nothing more than a province of Spain. Portugal's considerable foreign revenue enriched the Spanish treasury, while her dominance in trade and sea power was successfully challenged by the English and the Dutch, thus loosening her grip on her colonies in Africa, Asia and South America. This period of external domination and subsequent economic decline lasted for nearly 60 years until the Portuguese nobility reached the end of its tether and led a revolt against their oppressors in 1640, as a result of which, the Duke of Braganza was declared the new and rightful king of Portugal and the Algarves. One of King Joao IV's first actions was to lead his countrymen in a protracted war of restoration against the Spanish, whose armies were finally driven out of Portuguese lands after four more years of fierce fighting. Joao o Restaurador - John the Restorer - was not just a successful troop-leader, though. He was also a generous supporter of the arts, and a considerably talented musician and composer himself. And, by the time of his death in 1656 he had amassed the biggest music library in the world.
Live from Wigmore Hall in London, Katie Derham introduces a recital given by oboist Francois Leleux and pianist Emmanuel Strosse. Their programme is an all-20th-century Anglo-French one featuring Britten's Temporal Variations and 6 Metamorphoses after Ovid, and the sonatas for oboe and piano by Poulenc and Dutilleux.
Inspired by hearing a Radio 3 Breakfast broadcast in March marking International Womens' Day, novelist Linda Grant continues her personal journey of discovery into classical music by presenting a programme devoted entirely to female composers, including Hildegard of Bingen, Clara Schumann, Ethel Smyth, Fanny Mendelssohn, Grace Williams, Germaine Tailleferre, Elizabeth Maconchy, Amy Beach and Louise Farrenc.
Alyn Shipton presents a selection of listeners' requests, including a brace of tracks by guitarist Django Reinhardt, music by saxophonists Eric Dolphy and Art Pepper and mainstream jazz from trombonist Vic Dickenson. Plus contemporary jazz from Oriole and a vintage treat from Britain's oldest university.
For Rodolfo, living in poverty with a group of bohemian friends, life changes when there's a knock at the door, and Mimì, a fragile seamstress who lives in another room in the building, asks for help with her candle. But, as he discovers, love does not bring happiness. Puccini's La Boheme, an opera which seems to have a special place in the hearts of performers and audience alike, returns to Covent Garden.

Lyz Turner's house, in the East Yorkshire town of Withernsea, is falling into the sea. "My house has started talking to me," she says. "It produces haunting sounds like far-off women wailing."
This programme, combining interviews with music and the sounds of the sea, the wind, the land, the dying houses, explores how people cope with natural calamity: with anger, stoicism, distress, and art.
One winter, Ron and Judith Backhouse watched as first their fence, then their shed, and finally three trees slipped over the cliff at the bottom of their garden on a private estate above Scarborough. "The crack is running up towards our next door neighbour's house," says Ron. "It's maybe five or ten metres away from his bungalow now and we're connected to him. So if he goes, we go, too."?
Artist Kane Cunningham bought a condemned bungalow on the same estate so that he could live in it, use it as an artistic installation and document its demise. Since he moved in, the neighbouring three houses have been demolished for safety reasons, and he reckons his is next.
"You can't fight Nature," he says, "so you may as well celebrate its destructive force. Houses aren't immortal, and neither are we, despite what we may want to believe."
"As I listen to the soft wailing through the wall," says Lyz Turner, whose family have lived here for three generations, "I feel the house knows what's coming. Since Domesday there's been a dwelling where I live, and it seems all the voices of the past, whoever lived here, all the people from the lost villages under the sea, are crying for us now.".
From last year's Total Immersion concerts featuring Brian Ferneyhough's teemingly rich music, pianist Richard Uttley plays the 1981 composition Lemma-Icon-Epigram.
Robert Worby presents composer Hugh Wood's 80th birthday concert recorded recently at the Bath Festival. Also includes 20x12 commissions by Emily Howard, Michael Wolters and David Bruce.

SUN 13:00 The Early Music Show (b01jxs5p)
Greek Myths
From the early years of the Renaissance, composers portrayed subjects from Greek mythology. These stories provided particular inspiration as the new operatic genre took hold in the early 17th century. The 18th century saw the philosophical revolution of the Enlightenment spread throughout Europe and accompanied by a certain reaction against Greek myth, there was a tendency to insist on the scientific and philosophical achievements of Ancient Greece. The myths, however, continued to provide an important source of raw material for dramatists and composers. Lucie Skeaping introduces a diverse selection of early music inspired by these Greek myths, including works by Monteverdi, Handel, Purcell, Cavalli, Rameau and Gluck.
First broadcast in June 2012.
SUN 14:00 Sunday Concert (b01jxs5r)

Richard Rodney Bennett
Aled Jones talks to Sir Richard Rodney Bennett about his choral music. One of our most prolific and respected living composers, Bennett's choral catalogue reflects his interests over the past fifty years, ranging from settings of William Wordsworth and John Donne, to arrangements of jazz standards. The diversity of his choral works stands as a testament to his remarkable ability to write music that appeals to singers of all ages. As well as listening to a selection of Bennett's works, there's music from an earlier knight of the realm, too. Sir Edward Elgar's "Scenes from the Bavarian Highlands", is drawn from some holiday memories, and reflects a delightfully sunny side to his nature.
SUN 18:30 Words and Music (b0195pyw)
The Rose
Poems, prose and music on the theme of the Rose. Ruby petals, emerald stems: the rose speaks love. Its language is beauty, tenderness and eternity; its colour is passion. But the rose also speaks a less familiar language, that of peace, nationalism and revolution, the strangeness of mysticism and the finality of death. This hymn plucks rare and wild roses for its verses with music by Britten, Delius and Wagner and words by Charles Tomlinson, Dorothy Parker and HD, read by Lindsay Duncan and Iwan Rheon.
SUN 19:45 Sunday Feature (b01jxs5y)
Edward James and the Surreal Garden
On the outer edge of a remote mountain town in Mexico lies one of the largest and least known artistic monuments of the twentieth century: an inexplicably strange garden (Las Pozas) that, in terms of incongruity, ranks alongside The Watts Towers in Los Angeles and the Palais Ideal created by the Facteur Cheval in France.
Edward James was the unconventional character responsible for creating it, with his friend Plutarco Gastelum. Edward was a poet, better known for funding the early career of Salvador Dali - he co-designed the lobster telephone and the Mae West lips sofa - and for the surreal style of his Sussex home, Monkton House..
Journalist Joanna Moorhead discovers the bizarre sequence of events that led to the creation of Las Pozas and its struggle for survival since Edward's death in 1984. Made possible by Edward's wealth, Mexico's climate, the country's unique construction skills and a strong bond between Edward and a Mexican family, is it a valuable piece of Mexican heritage? Mere whimsy? Or a surreal tribute to the great gardens of England? In a country acclaimed for its ancient archaeological sites, and against the backdrop of a worsening security situation, what are the difficulties of preserving Las Pozas? And is it really one of the foremost concrete artworks in the world?
With artists Pedro Friedeberg and Melanie Smith, filmmaker Rafael Ortega, surrealism expert Dawn Ades and architect Matthew Holmes, who is leading the conservation of Las Pozas.
Producer: Tamsin Hughes
First broadcast in June 2012.
SUN 20:30 Drama on 3 (b01jxs60)
Courtly Love
In Renaissance Italy, women might have intelligence and a degree of power, but their lives are limited by the number of pregnancies they have to undergo.
Michelene Wandor's play springs from a visit to Mantua, her love of Renaissance music and her fascination with the powerful women of history. Her Lucrezia Borgia shows us a vulnerable woman, but also of course, a ruthless one and Isabella d'Este is revealed as a woman of taste and sensitivity, but one who can be equally ruthless.
The portraits of the two powerful Renaissance women in northern Italy make us aware of the limitations of their lives and the terrible lessons learned from their husbands, lovers, brothers and in the case of Lucrezia, a terrifying father - Roderigo Borgia, who became Pope Alexander VI. And when you throw in a devil you have a play that is truly entertaining and captivating.
Courtly Love provides wonderful opportunities for the actors, some of whom were making their debuts on radio. Nathalie Buscombe, who plays Lucrezia is still at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and she was supported by a number of ex- students of the GSMD: Nicholas Boulton, Tai Lawrence, who had left some years earlier and Jane Whittenshaw who along with Clare Corbett is a former member of the BBC Radio Rep. Grainne Keenan, who plays Isabella, and Edward Evans graduated quite recently from RADA, but age and experience were supplied by such splendid actors as Ronald Pickup, Philip Voss, Struan Rodger and John McAndrew.

TUE 19:30 Radio 3 Live in Concert (b01jxsxb)
Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France
Live from the Cathedral Basilica of Saint-Denis, Paris
Martin Handley presents a concert from the Saint Denis Festival in which Schoenberg's erotically charged early masterpiece, Verklarte Nacht is paired with Schubert's otherworldly late Mass. Written in the last months of his short life, Schubert's E flat Mass is as innovatory and daring as his more famous late symphonic and chamber utterances. Essentially symphonic in nature, it is by turns visionary and otherworldly with daring harmonic experiments and awe inspiring orchestral colourings.
The Basilica of Saint Denis, the final resting place of French kings from the seventh century to 1789, and the spiritual birthplace of Gothic architecture is the atmospheric setting for an all too rare performance of Schubert's masterpiece. And, as the light begins to fade, the stained glass windows in this magnificent "royal necropolis of France" will surely add an eerie glow to Schoenberg's Verklarte Nacht, a work inspired by a poem of Richard Dehmel which describes a man and a woman walking through a dark forest on a moonlit night: the woman shares a dark secret with her new lover: she bears the child of another man.

At approx
8.55pm
Martin Handley introduces recordings of the famous 1841 Cavaille-Coll organ at the Basilica of Saint-Denis, an instrument which formed the blueprint for a whole school of organ building and compostion in France. And there will also be the chance to hear some of the instruments restored and on display at the impressive instrument museum of the Cite de la Musique a couple of kilometers from Saint-Denis on the northern outskirts of Paris.
A rare Erard pedal piano of 1853 is heard in the Evocation a la Chapelle Sixtine by Franz Liszt, an early advocate for these pedal pianos. And Christophe Rousset plays a harpsichord built in 1652 by Ioannes Couchet, heir to the legendary Ruckers dynasty of Antwerp and expanded and redecorated in Paris at the beginning of the seventeenth century. This ornate instrument, like the Basilica de Saint-Denis, is officially classified as a National Treasure by the French State. Both recordings were made as part of the Cite de la Musique's on-going project to document the instruments on display at the museum.

But when the lives of Wotan's mortal offspring are threatened, his plans to protect them are thwarted and his favourite daughter defies his will. Though Wotan still loves her dearly, he is forced to punish her severely.

Wagner: Die Walkure
With its massive line-up of instruments, Wagner's orchestra for Die Walkure should by rights have been a recipe for nothing but gluttony. But with the skill of a watercolourist Wagner used it brilliantly to convey the subtlest of emotions. Stephen Johnson descends to the orchestra pit and uncovers the secrets of the composer's orchestral writing. En route he explores how this opera revolutionary marshalled the likes of Wagner tubas, six harps and a medieval bugle horn to create some of the most transfixing musical sounds ever produced.

Veep, Charlotte Blease
With Samira Ahmed
From the creator of the foul-mouthed Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of It comes a new sweary star - none other than the Veep of the USA. Armando Iannucci's new comedy stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus of Seinfeld fame as the Vice President (or Veep) who lurches from gaffe to gaffe with an entourage of incompetent, squabbling staff. Kerry McCarthy (MP for Bristol East) has the verdict.
The novelist Elizabeth Taylor has been described as one of the hidden but greatest writers of the 20th Century. To mark the centenary of her birth, comedian David Baddiel and biographer Nicola Beauman reappraise her work.
New Generation Thinker Charlotte Blease, from Queen's University Belfast, examines historical and contemporary deceptions in medical practice and asks to what extent it is a necessary evil.
An exhibition of photographs currently on display in Berlin reveals the surprising number of deserted or radically depopulated modern cities across the globe: speculatively built cities in China; ex-Soviet towns on the Caspian Sea; Centralia in Pennsylvania, America; Hashima in Japan. Curator Brigitte Schultz, the historian Timothy Stanley and Wouter Vantisphout of Delft University in the Netherlands discuss the phenomenon of the modern empty city and looks at the perhaps even more sinister half-empty city, like Detroit or Rotterdam, that may already be in irrevocable decline.
WED 21:00 Radio 3 Live in Concert (b01k2crs)
Live from Leeds Town Hall
Wagner's Die Walkure
Live from leeds Town Hall.
Presented by Adam Tomlinson.
Opera North reaches the second part of its complete performance of Wagner's epic Ring Cycle with a spectacular production of "Die Walkure".
Wotan is king of the gods, law-maker and father of nine warrior daughters (Valkyries) with the goddess of the Earth, Erda. He tries to break the curse of the Ring of power by fathering a pure-of-heart hero by a mortal woman. But when the lives of Wotan's mortal off-spring are threatened, his plans to protect them are thwarted and his favourite daughter defies his will. Though Wotan still loves her dearly, he is forced to punish her severely.
Opera North's music director Richard Farnes conducts a superb ensemble cast and the orchestra of Opera North in a concert performance at Leeds Town Hall.

Thursday Opera Matinee
Donizetti - Gianni di Parigi
Katie Derham presents Wexford Festival Opera's 2011 production of Donizetti's two-act comedy Gianni di Parigi.
Wexford Festival Opera is renowned for staging rarely performed repertoire, and Donizetti is one of the most frequently performed composers at Wexford. In 1952 the festival produced the little-known Donizetti opera L'Elisir D'Amore! Gianni di Parigi, written in 1831, is still one of his least-known works. It is the fifteenth Donizetti opera to be presented at Wexford in its 61 years.
It's a good idea to know the woman you're going to marry - and it's a clever woman who sees what the man's getting up to! The story of Gianni di Parigi derives from a popular 15th-century chivalric story about the French heir to the throne, the Dauphin. Although he is betrothed to the Princess of Navarre, they have never met. He wants to see for himself if she is really as good and beautiful as he has been told. He disguises himself as a wealthy burgher and insists on staying at the inn which the princess has reserved for herself and her entourage on their journey to Paris for her marriage. He bribes the innkeeper, commandeers the food and drink and asks the princess to dine with him. She sees through the plot and is well aware of his true identity, but she admires his enterprise and they fall in love.

CBSO - Jonathan Harvey's Weltethos
The British premiere of Jonathan Harvey's "Weltethos" - a vision in music - given as a culminating event of the Cultural Olympiad at Symphony Hall in Birmingham by the CBSO and CBSO Chorus and Childrens Chorus under Edward Gardiner.
"One day in 2006," recalls Jonathan Harvey, "I got a call from the manager of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Pamela Rosenberg. Would I write a 90-minute whole-evening work for them with choir?... It was an idea of the most famous theologian in the world, she went on. The theologian was Hans Küng, who initiated and in 1995 became president of the Global Ethic Foundation (Stiftung Weltethos), which seeks to foster peace between the religions on the basis of common ethical principles and values. "These values", says Küng, "can be found in all the great religious and philosophical traditions of humankind. They need not be invented anew, but people need to be made aware of them again; they must be lived out and handed on."
Harvey was entrusted with setting the visionary libretto for a number of reasons. The British composer was ideally suited to an ambitious project of this nature because he has always rejected the l'art pour l'art of music that is mechanistically constructed: "I think music has an important role to play in society because, in my opinion, it is the most spiritual of all the arts."
In composing Weltethos to Küng's libretto, Harvey has produced a choral-orchestral work of vast dimensions for mixed chorus, children's chorus and organ, whose six movements are dedicated to different religious or philosophical teachings: Confucianism as well as the five great world religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

They'll be discussing a new book by Alonso Cueto, the Blue Hour which deals with the legacy of the war with the Shining Path and a Russian film Silent Souls, about two men trying to keep alive the ancient traditions of their people. They will also be debating whether an ageing population is perceived as a gift or a burden in other parts of the world.
And Matthew's guests tell us about arts and cultural events where they are, including a theatre renaissance in Iran; controversial art in Johannesburg and an exhibition in Moscow which sheds new light on the murder of the imperial family.

Ives, Bartok
Live from Glasgow City Halls
Presented by Jamie MacDougal
The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra conducted by their Artist in Association start a weekend of free concerts with their artist in association Matthias Pintscher. America has been and remains the inspiration and refuge for many composers. Here Charles Ives conjures up three places in New England, USA ( I. The "St. Gaudens" in Boston Common, II. Putnam's Camp, Redding, Connecticut, III. 'The Housatonic at Stockbridge) focusing on their unique atmospheres and layering American Folk tunes in order to reflect American lifestyle and ideals.
Bela Bartok fled to the USA when the Nazis got into power and there was war in Europe where he found protection. Bartok spent his life collecting folk music and although his second violin concerto is written in 12 tones, it is inspired by folk music and the opening theme is derived specifically from folk dances collected in Transylvania.
Dvorak visited America at the end of the 19th century which provided the impetus for his best known and most loved 9th symphony. He did not actually use African American Spirituals, but he was inspired by them, and wrote original themes as subjects using modern rhythms, counterpoint and colour.

Katherine Mansfield applies her characteristic wit to this story, The Modern Soul, first published in the collection In a German Pension.

Val McDermid, Jane Rogers, John Gallas, Nicola Davies
Ian McMillan explores how writers make use of children's voices - with guests Val McDermid, John Gallas, Nicola Davies and Jane Rogers.
Val McDermid explores our fascination with the language of The Leveson Inquiry, in particular the phrase 'country supper'. She explains why it evokes for her, not the Chipping Norton set, but the world of Beatrix Potter - the tantalising glimpses of 'other peoples food' that children come across in stories.
John Gallas shares the creative process which led him to invent a twelve year old boy who wants to escape his own life, and the demands of 'evolution' in his new poetry collection 'Fresh Air and The Story of Molecule' (Carcanet)
Nicola Davies introduces 'A First Book of Nature' - in which she celebrates those first, important experiences of the natural world for young readers (Walker Books)
And Jane Rogers employs the voices of young people in different ways in her writing - here she reads from a new short story 'Morphogenesis' (Comma Press) in which she imagines the consciousness of the ten year old Alan Turing, and she also discusses the heroine of her novel 'The Testament of Jessie Lamb', which just won the Arthur C Clarke award for the best science fiction book published in 2012 (Canongate).
