SAT 12:15 Music Feature (b01pz2pl)
Bostridge on Britten

Ian Bostridge is famous for singing the music of Benjamin Britten. In the composer's centenary year, the singer reflects on the greatness of Britten's vocal music, so much of which was written for the tenor voice.

Ian Bostridge brings his singer's experience and deep intelligence to bear on a composer whose work has formed a central part of his repertoire throughout his singing career. He pays tribute to Peter Pears, whose lifelong interpretation of Britten's music he greatly admires. He reflects on why Britten has never been fully absorbed into the mainstream of classical music and considers whether it has something to do with Britten's preoccupation with troubled, alienated characters and situations - exemplified in operas such as Peter Grimes and Turn of the Screw.

The subjects of Britten's interest - the ostracized Peter Grimes or the tortured Captain Vere in Billy Budd - are powerfully characterized by the tenor voice. Between the countertenor and baritone, the tenor voice has the capacity to express the nuances of Britten's musical language.

In this programme - full of wonderful music from the song cycles, the operas and the choral works - Ian Bostridge contemplates the strangeness of Britten's genius.

First broadcast in January 2013.

SAT 18:45 Opera on 3 (b0338vqp)
Britten's Gloriana

Commissioned by the Royal Opera House and 'dedicated by gracious permission to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in honour of whose coronation it was composed', Britten's 'Gloriana' is the story of an old queen's infatuation with a hot-headed younger man.

At its premiere, there were mutterings that the opera's emphasis on an ageing, ungracious monarch was an inappropriate way to celebrate the coronation. But sixty years later it's easier see that with its masterly exploration of the tension between public and private, heart and duty, and its contrasting scenes of grandeur and intimacy, 'Gloriana' is in fact among the finest of Britten's operas.

Broadcast live from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, starring Susan Bullock as the Virgin Queen and Toby Spence as the impetuous Earl of Essex.

Presented by Louise Fryer in conversation with John Bridcut, including comments from performers and director Richard Jones. Plus the Radio 3 Opera Guide to Gloriana, with the Britten experts Paul Kildea and Philip Reed, and the soprano Dame Josephine Barstow.

SAT 22:00 Between the Ears (b0338vqr)
Time Travelling in Italy - Finding My Religion

In 1979, in the Italian Alps, a fledgling community of 28 people (calling themselves Damanhur) began secretly digging into a mountain at night. Their purpose: to build the world's largest underground temple, the equivalent in size to St Paul's Cathedral. Thirty years on, the 'Temples of Humankind' continue to grow. Despite being described as the Eighth Wonder of the World, this is not the most interesting thing about Damanhur.
Now a thousand-strong eco-community, Damanhur also claims to have conquered time travel, taught plants to sing, visited Atlantis and saved the planet from destruction. Its residents take part in bizarre rituals and regularly work throughout the night in service to the group, yet many still hold down highly-paid professional jobs in the outside world.
Is it another case of a deluded cult or has Damanhur achieved something remarkable in the cynical 21st century?
Sony Award winning presenter and musician David Bramwell (Between the Ears: "The Haunted Moustache") takes a sound journey through the community, deep into the bowels of its temple, where the Time Machine has been created, listens to a jazz singer improvise with a musical plant, and has a lesson in esoteric physics.
He also attempts to unravel Damanhur's history and purpose, challenging some of its unfeasible claims through conversations with its residents, and attempts to become a Time Traveller himself.

Producer: Sara Jane Hall
Presenter: David Bramwell

First broadcast in June 2013.

He describes about how he spent the first few weeks of his life sleeping in a guitar-case, sang with his family from an early age, and depended on them during the difficult periods of his life. His teenage years and his twenties heralded difficulties coming to terms with his sexuality and with drug addiction, but he continued to perform and write music throughout the hard times. Now married to artistic director Jorn Wiesbrodt, he is also a father of Lorca, whose mother is the daughter of Leonard Cohen. Obsessed with Verdi, he has composed his own opera, set Shakespeare sonnets to music and composed for the ballet.

Breakfast

"Dinner parties are mere formalities; but you invite a man to breakfast because you want to see him." Thomas Babington Macauley

Of all the meals we eat Breakfast is the most loaded with possibility - to share a breakfast is to share intimacy, or to sit stubbornly in stony cold silence. It is a defining moment in the day, one of ritual and habit, full of joyous promise, or melancholic wonder. It is a meal to obsess over, to fuss over its constitution, or to ignore and sit in quiet contemplation.

Felicity Kendal and Gerard Murphy read poetry and prose around the theme of Breakfast ranging from the Victoriana of Mrs Isabella Beeton's missives to servants, to the narcotic fuelled orgies of Hunter S Thompson, the morning misery of Frank O'Hara, to the boiled egg obsessiveness of James Bond. Breakfast music is provided by G.F.Handel, Frank Zappa, Gustav Mahler, and Dusty Springfield amongst others.

First broadcast in October 2011.


SUN 19:45 Sunday Feature (b011cjkx)
Barbara Hepworth

Barbara Hepworth was Britain's most successful female sculptor of the twentieth century. Two years ago, a brand new art gallery, The Hepworth Wakefield opened in Yorkshire to showcase some of her plasters, alonside other contempoary art exhibitions. Historian Juliet Gardiner talks to those who knew Barbara Hepworth. Juliet visits Wakefield, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and St. Ives to talk to those who know Hepworth's work and speaks to her daughter, Lady Sarah Bowness, her granddaughter, Sophie Bowness and Hepworth's son-in-law, Sir Alan Bowness. Interwoven throughout the programme is archive of the artist herself.

She was born in 1903 and won a musical scholarship to Wakefield Girls school. A woman with artistic hands who declared as a teenager that she wanted to be a sculptor. An unusual choice too back then with no female role models in the sculpture world.

As a young girl, she would enjoy going on drives with her father through the rolling Yorkshire countryside and spoke often of how the undulating landscape informed some of her sculptures. She won a scholarship to Leeds Art School at the age of sixteen and met fellow sculptor Henry Moore there. Together they journeyed south to London and studied at the Royal College of Art.

Hepworth went on a travel scholarship to Italy after the RCA and this reinforced her desire to be a carver. She came back married to fellow sculptor, John Skeaping and they settled down in studios in Hampstead. Her first born son, Paul became the model for one of her popular early wooden carvings, 'Infant'.

She later married artist Ben Nicholson and in 1934 they became parents to triplets. There's the Cyril Connolly quote: "the pram in the hallway is the enemy of creativity" - they now had three prams and the couple put the triplets into a nearby nursery whilst they carried on with their art. They were both now leading lights in the emerging modernist movement.

They decided that with war imminent to leave London and drove to stay with a friend in St. Ives with the triplets and a nanny. For Hepworth, it was to be her home for the rest of her life. Her work is in private and public collections all over the world with her largest work, Single Form, standing outside the United Nations in New York.

In the past two years, many visitors have had the chance to see her working methods at the Hepworth Wakefield.

Producer: Sarah Taylor

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b033bsdg)
Ravel and His World

Les Apaches

For the first time in the long-running history of Composer of the Week, Donald Macleod explores Ravel's life and music in the context of his friends in the artistic group, "Les Apaches".

Ravel's music will be threaded through the week, alongside works by fellow Apaches, Maurice Delage, Déodat de Séverac, Florent Schmitt, Paul Ladmirault and Désiré-Émile Inghelbrecht. Among the music featured, there are some rarely heard gems, performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and the BBC Singers.

Donald Macleod begins by looking at the early days of "Les Apaches" in the company of Jann Pasler, Professor of Music at the University of California. Ravel's set of piano pieces "Miroirs" bears dedications to five members of the group, while Delage references the painter Paul Sordes, who provided the studio where the first meetings took place. Déodat de Séverac's music evokes the sunny landscape of the Languedoc, and there's a rare opportunity to hear works by Paul Ladmirault and by D.E Inghelbrecht, in recordings made specially for Composer of the Week by the BBC Singers and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

At the turn of the twentieth century, Paris was populated by a multitude of composers, painters, writers and poets. When he was in his mid-twenties, Ravel became part of an informal group of artists involved in a range of different specialisms. Active in the years running up to the first world war, the numbers fluctuated, with anything up to twenty-five members. Around the time that the Ballets Russes was taking Paris by storm, Stravinsky and Manuel de Falla also joined the group.

The earlier musical members of "Les Apaches" were similar in age; indeed many of them had met while studying at the Paris Conservatory. They included Ravel, and his childhood friend, the Spanish pianist Ricardo Viñes, who gave first performances of many works by Apache members. We'll also be hearing from Maurice Delage, a life-long friend of Ravel, who's probably best known to us as the composer of Four Hindu Poems, the exotically named minor aristocrat Déodat de Séverac whose music is infused with the light and character of his roots in Southern France, major chamber and orchestral pieces by Prix de Rome winner Florent Schmitt, songs and an orchestral piece much admired by Debussy from the Breton Paul Ladmirault and some rarely heard orchestral works by Désiré-Émile Inghelbrecht. Better known as a conductor, Inghelbrecht was an acclaimed interpreter of Debussy, holding a series of important musical directorships before he formed the Orchestre National de la Radiodiffusion Française in 1934.

Admirers of Debussy and Russian music in particular, the Apaches took to meeting up once a week to hear each other's music and poetry, toss around ideas and share their views on the prevailing artistic currents. A group formed casually through friendship is often difficult to detail but in this case several Apache members left accounts. Dipping into these sources, Donald Macleod explores Ravel as he was remembered by his friends, in particular Ricardo Viñes, the poets Léon-Paul Fargue and Tristan Klingsor (Léon Leclère) and the writer and critic Michel Dmitri Calvocoressi. He'll also be talking to Jann Pasler, from the University of California, San Diego, the author of several studies on the Apaches. They'll be fitting the musical jigsaw together, illustrating how different professional activities were mutually beneficial to Apache members and evaluating the group's significance and legacy.

MON 22:45 The Essay (b033bsfn)
A Taste of Summer in America

Corn on the Cob

Author and journalist Susan Orleans, learned in second grade how the Pilgrims would have starved had Native Americans not taught them how to grow corn. Since then, she developed a lifelong appreciation of a food staple but it is only in the summer that she craves it.

In this week marking the Fourth of July holiday, five American writers describe seminal summer eating experiences. Funny, emotional, poignant and informative, these five talks describe how no matter how much life changes, eating outdoors in summer and rediscovering a favourite food is what makes summer memories.

Later in the series, Nathan Englander discovers that Wisconsin cheeses are as varied and exquisite as anything he's eaten in France. TC Boyle charts his summers according to his memories of cookouts and each grilling adventure changes according to his stage of life but also his location, as he moves across America. Simon Van Booy compares two kinds of food in a bun, which he buys at two very different New York beaches. The humble Coney Island hotdog is perfect for an urban seaside with fairground attractions but in the sophisticated Hamptons, he prefers an elegant, and much more expensive, lobster roll. It is dessert that Audrey Niffenegger most associates with her summers and most of all, her love of rhubarb and ice cream.


MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 (b033bsft)
Barbacana at the 2013 Cheltenham Jazz Festival

A quartet bringing together musicians from the London and Paris scenes, via a Lithuanian jam session: Barbacana are rooted in a cosmopolitan outlook that's reflected in this performance from the 2013 Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

The Parisian duo of guitarist Adrien Dennefeld and percussionist Sylvain Darrifourcq bring African and minimalist flavours to a group that grew out of a chance meeting between Dennefeld and keys player Kit Downes in Vilnius. Downes and reeds player James Allsopp offer what Dennefeld describes as London's 'more instinctive' approach to collective improvisation and interplay. And together, Barbacana take in lilting grooves, sparse electronic textures, and slow-building riffs that visit a heavier, noisier soundworld.

Also on the programme, we explore the enduring appeal of Duke Ellington and his music to today's progressive musicians.

TUE 19:30 Radio 3 Live in Concert (b033fmc0)
Alban Gerhardt, Steven Osborne - Beethoven, Britten, Brahms

Live from The Stables, Wavendon

Alban Gerhardt (cello)
Steven Osborne (piano)

Brahms: Cello Sonata No.1 in E minor, Op 38
Britten: Cello Sonata in C, Op.65
Beethoven: Cello Sonata in C, Op.102'1
Beethoven: Cello Sonata in D, Op.102'2

Cellist Alban Gerhardt and pianist Steven Osborne visit The Stables in Wavendon for a recital of cello sonatas by Beethoven, Britten and Brahms. All four sonatas are now staples in the cello repertoire.

Brahms completed his first cello sonata in 1865 as a "sonata for piano and cello", stating that the piano "should be a partner - often a leading, often a watchful and considerate partner - but it should under no circumstances assume a purely accompanying role". It's a homage to JS Bach, and uses themes from Bach's Art of Fugue which weave in and out of Brahms's own melodic lines.
Britten composed his cello sonata in 1960 after hearing Mstislav Rostropovich for the first time - a relationship which would endure for the rest of Britten's life.
Beethoven's two last cello sonatas are dedicated to his close friend, the countess Marie von Erdody. He completed them in 1817, by which time Beethoven's deafness was becoming increasingly profound. Critics of the time were often perplexed by Beethoven's last compositions, and one described the sonatas as eliciting "the most unexpected and unusual reactions, not only by their form but by the use of the piano as well. We have never been able to warm up to the two sonatas; but these compositions are perhaps a necessary link in the chain of Beethoven's works in order to lead us there where the steady hand of the maestro wanted to lead us."

Presented by Tom McKinney.


TUE 22:00 Night Waves (b033cx0n)
Mexico Art Revolution, Ben Wheatley, Dystopia

Dystopian fiction has a long and distinguished history in many languages. Violence, war, crime, vigilantism, the hunting down of human beings as a blood sport are just some of the distinguishing features of novels such as 1984, Brave New World, The Handmaid's Tale, Farenheit 451, films such as Mad Max, A Clockwork Orange and many others. Two new dystopian novels by the scientist Susan Greenfield and academic Martin Goodman give Matthew Sweet the chance to ask whether dystopias ever really go away, and even if they don't do they ever say anything constructive about the future? Henry Gee joins the discussion.

From Witchfinder General to The Wicker Man, via Blood On Satan's Claw and a whole host of Hammer, there's a small but honourable tradition in British cinema of horror films set in the country. Director Ben Wheatley's latest work A Field In England sits squarely in the middle of the genre. Wheatley joins Matthew along with the writer Iain Sinclair to discuss the uncanny appeal of the British countryside.

And Matthew goes to see 'Mexico: A Revolution in Art,1910 - 1940,' the subject of the Royal Academy's latest exhibition. Diego Rivera, Manuel Alvarez Bravo and others bring the turmoil of revolution to London.

All on Night Waves this evening on Radio 3.


TUE 22:45 The Essay (b033d37j)
A Taste of Summer in America

Cheeseheads

In the second talk about summer eating in the week that Americans celebrate Independence Day, Nathan Englander samples local cheeses in his adopted town of Madison, Wisconsin.

As a child, New Yorker Nathan Englander's only exposure to cheese in a Kosher home, were plastic wrapped slices that his mum used as a topping for her spaghetti with ketchup. Now that he is temporarily living in the university town of Madison Wisconsin, he is discovering a completely different America where he feels very much the curious outsider.

Here, cheese is taken seriously and especially celebrated when the long winter is over. Locals call themselves Cheeseheads and wear yellow foam hats at sports events and summer games. The variety of cheeses sold by farmers in the street markets are as exotic and delicious as any cheese Nathan has tasted in France. However what he adores most is a homely dish called cheese curds, which are battered and fried. Perhaps that is because deep down, he is bonded to bland flavourless food, despite all his attempts to run away from it.

Later in this series: TC Boyle charts his summers according to memories of cookouts at each stage of his life. Simon Van Booy compares two kinds of food in a bun, at two very different New York beaches, Coney Island and the Hamptons on Long Island. Audrey Niffenegger most associates ice cream with summers but now that she can no longer eat it, she is desperately exploring alternatives and substitutes.

WED 22:45 The Essay (b033d38p)
A Taste of Summer in America

The Cookout

Five essays by writers about the joys of summer eating experiences across America. In this episode, TC Boyle remembers cookouts in suburban New York, Ohio and wooded California.

TC Boyle prefers the word "cookout" to the southern term "BBQ". For him, eating from the grill is the biggest thrill of the summer. It marks the freedom, the outdoors living, the scratch meals, and the camaraderie of the long hot days.

The cookouts of his childhood were opportunities for neighbourhood kids to get together and escape household rules. In his hippy years in Ohio, meals at the grill were very functional because everyone was so adept at eating this way. Later as a family man in California, he has to defend his meals from bears and rats.

Next up in this series, Simon Van Booy compares two kinds of food in a bun, which he buys at two very different New York beaches - Coney Island and the Hamptons on Long Island. And Audrey Niffenegger's essay is her tale of a passion for ice cream, which can no longer be requited.

Ravel and His World

Musical Chairs

Donald Macleod considers how contrasting ideologies promoted by the Paris Conservatoire and the Schola Cantorum influenced the composers in the group "Les Apaches".
While Inghelbrecht dabbled in popular song, Ladmirault's fascination with folksong led to several settings of folksongs, recorded specially by the BBC Singers. The group's interests also leant towards the exotic, with Florent Schmitt's treatment of the biblical story of Salome and Maurice Delage's fascination with India. With Jann Pasler from the University of California, San Diego.

Under the baton of noted interpreter, Sir Mark Elder, a first-rate cast revive Donizetti's setting of the libretto by Salvadore Cammarano which tells the story of the 6th-century Byzantine general, his vengeful wife Antonina, his devoted daughter Irene, and the loyalty of his former prisoner, Alamiro.

A Taste of Summer in America

Two Seaside Buns

Simon Van Booy grew up in Wales and loved sausages and the sausage sandwiches his father made to take on fishing trips. So when he moved to New York, he regularly ate hotdogs, and on the boardwalk at Coney Island, he bought the classic frankfurter in a bun and french fries, jostled by the crowds eating fairground food under neon lights.

But he was at a college on Long Island, in the Hamptons, where the rich come to play and eat fabulously expensive lobster rolls. Though the bun is the exactly the same as the hot dog bun, it is filled with lobster and mayonnaise.

The latest in a series of five essays about summer food in America for Independence Day.

Ravel and His World

Stravinsky and Les Apaches

In January 1912 a remarkable concert took place in Paris featuring new works by four Apaches members and Stravinsky's Three Japanese Lyrics. Donald Macleod concludes his exploration of Ravel's interaction with "Les Apaches" by examining two major passions of the group, Russian music and poetry. We hear Ravel's setting of Tristan Klingsor's text and Florent Schmitt's Le Palais hanté, based on a poem from Edgar Allan Poe's "The House of Usher". To end there's the UK broadcast premiere of Delage's Ragamalika, specially recorded for the programme. With Jann Pasler, from the University of California, San Diego.

Episode 4

Ian Skelly concludes a week of concerts from the BBC Symphony Orchestra's recent visit to the St Magnus International Festival in Orkney with an overture by Mendelssohn, songs by Berg, a saga by Sibelius and two tales of tragic love - Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet, and music from Wagner's opera Tristan and Isolde, with acclaimed dramatic soprano Christine Brewer. After a UK premiere from German composer Wolfgang Rihm, the tragedy continues in Britten's setting of Victor Hugo's text as Susan Gritton takes the role of a dying mother who sings of her heartbreak as her five year old child plays, ignorant of her plight. Radio 3 New Generation Artist Leonard Elschenbroich concludes the programme with Elgar's elegiac Cello Concerto, written at the end of the First World War.

I Fagiolini - Music of the Spheres

Inspired by the ancient Greek idea of an ever-present music created by the planets as they revolved around the earth, Robert Hollingworth directs I Fagiolini at Lichfield Cathedral in a concert exploring mainly Renaissance music that seems to exist on a different plane - the music of the spheres.

A Taste of Summer in America

Homecoming

Novelist Audrey Niffenegger celebrates the joys of summer ice cream. But now that she can no longer eat it, what could take its place? Last in a series on summer eating in America.

Growing up in Evanston, Illinois, outside Chicago, Audrey Niffenegger enjoyed summers of wonderful ice cream. Evanston was the headquarters of the Christian Temperance Union, so ice cream was one of the few indulgences. In fact in adult life, a simple scoop of vanilla remained her absolute passion. Until, a fateful day when she developed severe bronchitis and became allergic to milk. Now she is on a mission to replace her summer treat. And what really brings back the joys of summer, comes when she revisits a totally different food - rhubarb pie.
