Verdi 200

As part of Radio 3's Verdi 200 celebrations, Tom Service presents a special edition of Music Matters tracing the composer's reputation and influence from his death in 1901 to the present day. Taking as a starting point the extraordinary outpouring of grief at Verdi's funeral, Tom looks at the different meanings attached to his operas by subsequent generations. Musicologist Gundula Kreuzer tells the fascinating story of Verdi and the Third Reich, and Emanuele Senici explains to Tom what a particular
performance of Nabucco in Naples in 1949 tells us about Verdi's relationship with his own people.

We hear from conductor Riccardo Chailly about the impact of Verdi on Mahler, and composer Luca Francesconi on why Verdi was - and still is - so modern. Tenor Joseph Calleja tells us why Verdi is so hard to sing, and opera directors Francesca Zambello and David Alden offer some insights about why and how these operas continue to speak to audiences in 2013, 200 years after Verdi's birth.

Producer Emma Bloxham.

Sound of Cinema: Sir Tom Courtenay

The iconic English actor Sir Tom Courtenay was introduced to classical music by his mother in the 1940s and 50s. His love of music has stayed with him throughout his long and successful career. Tom once worked with the soprano Elisabeth Soderstrom, who left a lasting impression on him, and brought out a deep love of Schubert songs. He's also something of a jazz lover, and has toured the UK with a play about the poet Philip Larkin in context with the jazz that Larkin also knew and loved. In this programme, there's music by Schubert, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Dvorak, Liszt, Chopin, and of course, Verdi - from the soundtrack of Tom's recent film "Quartet". There's also music from one of Tom's earliest films - Maurice Jarre's soundtrack to "Doctor Zhivago", and an interesting track from the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain...(Tom also plays the ukulele...).


SAT 16:00 Sound of Cinema (b03c24yx)
The Sea, the Sea!

Matthew Sweet's weekly celebration of film music looks at scores inspired by our relationship with the sea, including this week's new release, Paul Wright's "For Those In Peril".

"For Those In Peril" attracted a lot of acclaim at its premiere during this year's Edinburgh International Film Festival. It goes on general release this week. Writer and Director, Paul Wright, says of it:

"I remember when I was little, the mums and dads used to tell all the little kids about the devil in the ocean, how it had cursed the town and all the people in it."

Eric Enocksson has composed the score for the film and there will be an opportunity to hear part of it in the programme.

Using this as his starting point, Matthew looks at how the sea has shaped scores from the likes of Dmitri Tiomkin, John Barry, Mychael Danna and Alan Silvestri' for films such as "Abyss", "The Old Man and the Sea"; "The Life of Pi" and "The Deep".

An edited version of the programme will be available as a podcast from Monday lunchtime.

SAT 22:00 Between the Ears (b03c063t)
Shadowplay

Theme and Variations: What We Value

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the shadow.

The words of TS Eliot provide a cue for this playful, challenging and touching anniversary series celebrating 20 years of Between the Ears.

Radio 3's showcase for adventurous feature-making was launched in October 1993 with a 'piece for radio', by the composer Ian Gardiner. 'Monument', which was conceived as a kind of London symphony, received the prestigious Prix Italia the following year.

Shadowplay offers a new four-part 'symphony of voices', exploring the shadows that may fall between the appearance of things and their reality. Making use of the full palette available to the radio producer - documentary, fiction, music, pure sound - four feature-makers address our values, our identities, our romantic inclinations and our sense of worth.

In the first movement 'Theme and Variations', ideas about what we value - wealth, health, liberty and happiness - are revealed through the experiences and insights of the economists Ha-Joon Chang and Felix Martin, the life-model Sue Tilley and the poet Jazzman John Clarke, and also with reference to Ian Gardiner's 'Monument', Ritalin and Mary Poppins.

Produced by Alan Hall and Hana Walker-Brown.
A Falling Tree production for BBC Radio 3.

Verdi 200: Kings and Queens

He looks forward to a week celebrating Verdi with other aspects of the composer's music, including a famous recording of Three Sacred Pieces: Laudi alla Virgine Maria. In addition, from the stately elegance of Henry Purcell to the romantic prism of Korngold he looks at musical depictions of royalty through the ages. Plus the week's concerto for orchestra is by Bartok, and the Telemann cantata for the day is Es ist ein schlechter Ruhm (TVWV 1:506).


SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b03c06zv)
Greg Doran

Greg Doran is one of those lucky people who seem to have found his perfect place in life. From the age of 13, when his mother first took him to the theatre in Stratford, Shakespeare's been his passion; as a boy he dedicated himself to seeing every single Shakespeare play - sometimes managing to watch three Macbeths in a day.

So - what better job than Artistic Director of our great national Shakespeare company, a role he took on 18 months ago. His production of Richard II with David Tennant in the lead opens on 10 October, and he's directing Henry IV next year with his partner Anthony Sher playing Falstaff.

Doran doesn't come from a theatrical background - his father ran a nuclear power station. But his passion for music began early, thanks to a concert in the local village hall in Lancashire. A friend of his mother's, Mrs Sidebottom, got up on stage and sang 'Blow the Wind Southerly'. And young Greg was hooked. That haunting folk song begins his choice of music - sung in this case by Kathleen Ferrier. Other choices include Duke Ellington, a song by Cervantes, and a Vivaldi Concerto which changed Doran's life when he heard it in Paris. It was a low point - a love affair had ended, his ambition to be an actor was foundering. And the music spoke to him, and gave him a new direction.

In Private Passions, he talks to Michael Berkeley about his passion for Shakespeare, and about his relationship with Antony Sher. Its foundations are a shared life in theatre, but also a love of food: when Anthony's depressed, Greg cooks for him the comfort food he ate as a child in South Africa. He's even learned how to make a special lamb stew - and he gives us the recipe: "I believe there is a Jewish saying that food is love. For me, tomato bredie is an expression of love."

First broadcast in October 2013.

SUN 17:30 Words and Music (b03c0701)
Verdi 200: Verdi - Conflict and Liberty

Verdi 200: texts read by David Sibley and Jemma Redgrave.
Verdi's life seems to have been marked, both on and off stage, by two words: conflict and liberty, both of which constitute the backbone of this Words and Music.
When you examine the composer's artistic life soon you see the image of a man fighting against old ways of making opera: rigid musical structures dominated by singers as well as opera houses subject to censorship. Only his sheer talent and determination saw Verdi succeed to the point of breaking free and creating at will. This particular personal, perilous journey is followed through letters of the man himself and his wife Giuseppina Strepponi.
The drama on stage referred to, which expresses a fight against political oppression or invisible social constraints, is provided here by some of the original sources, texts by Lord Byron, Shakespeare, Victor Hugo, Dumas and Schiller which inspired Verdi to write some of his most memorable masterpieces, among them La Traviata, Rigoletto, Don Carlos and Otello.
Finally, to paint a full picture of Verdi and his time, the so-called Risorgimento, the fight of Italy for its independence and its true identity, and to see also the stature of the composer as a leading figure in the new-born country, this programme combines texts from national idols like Mazzini, with poems by other of his contemporaries, like Giusti, Tasca or Maffei - the later saying: 'You are the Apex of Glory. The words Verdi and Victory ring out together'.


SUN 18:45 Between the Ears (b03c0703)
Between the Ears at 20

Sonic Art Boom - The Art of Noise

How can art be invisible? When it's made of sound.

Dan Jones commemorates the centenary of 'The Art of Noise Manifesto', by Luigi Russolo, with an exploration of that mysterious, invisible and vigorous form - Sound Art.

Luigi Russolo believed that the music of the future should reflect the noises of modern life. Rejecting the classical orchestra (along with pizza and pasta which he believed sapped the moral fibre of his nation) he invented 'noise- makers' to replicate the sounds of traffic, industry and even modern warfare.

Russolo may be a disputed godfather of sound art, but it would be almost a hundred years till a sound artist would be shortlisted for the Turner Prize (Susan Philipsz won in 2010) and the Museum of Modern Art, MOMA, in New York would open its first sound art show.

In 'Sonic Art Boom', Dan Jones considers why it has taken so long for Sound Art to get a hearing.

He talks to Janet Cardiff - whose sound installation "The Forty-Part Motet" has been presented by prestigious galleries all over the globe; speaks with Barbara London, MOMA's legendary curator, about the difficulties of displaying sound; meets his hero Stan Shaff - creator of 'Audium', the world's first sound sculpture theatre in San Francisco; and goes underground with Bill Fontana, world-renowned sound artist, as he places a giant loudspeaker in front of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

The art world, it seems, has pulled out its earplugs.
First broadcast in October 2013

Producer: Sara Jane Hall

Presenter: Dan Jones is a BAFTA award-winning composer and sound designer working in film and theatre - Sound and Fury, is a theatre company of which he is a founder - and his performance piece, created with Luke Jerram, 'Sky Orchestra' has toured the globe for ten years.

Live from Champs Hill, West Sussex

Following their appearance in this year's Proms Chamber Music series at Cadogan Hall, acclaimed chamber group the London Conchord Ensemble return with a programme of music performed live from the Music Room at Champs Hill, West Sussex

Mozart: 'Kegelstatt' Trio, K498
Weber: Flute Trio

- Interval music -

Britten: Temporal Variations (1936)
Brahms: Clarinet Trio, Op 114

London Conchord Ensemble

Mozart's Trio for clarinet, viola and piano was the first work to be composed for this combination of instruments, and Mozart's publishers gave it its nickname (which means 'Skittle Alley') - playing to the idea that it was composed during a round of the game. Ending the programme, a 19th-century chamber masterwork for the clarinet by Brahms, and - in between - one of Weber's most attractive salon works together with a powerful work by Britten which today's performers describe as a 'nascent War Requiem - a piece of enormous scope and beauty'.


SUN 22:00 Drama on 3 (b0128md3)
Widowers' Houses

Martin Jarvis directs Ian McKellen, Charles Dance and a starry cast in Bernard Shaw's first play. Written in 1892 it became an immediate success and remains astonishingly relevant in the present property investment world. Funny, observant, incisive in examining moral dilemmas and business ethics. What happens if an Englishman, decent enough in private, shuts his eyes and conscience to the monstrous abuses of the poor by slum landlords, especially if the remedy might affect his own financial security? The theme has resonated down the years.

A Jarvis and Ayres Production for BBC Radio 3.

Verdi 200

High Noon

Donald Macleod explores Verdi's later life and music when, after years of honing his craft, he unleashed an outpouring of innovative masterworks that would propel opera from the world of the 19th century into the modern age. It wasn't a smooth road, though, and the aging composer had to be persuaded out of retirement several times as he found himself increasingly at odds with the world around him.

Having written 16 operas in 11 years at the height of his productivity, he then dedicated much of his time to accumulating and cultivating a huge estate, with the help of his second wife, Giuseppina Strepponi. Their relationship began in Paris, and while this was an intensely creative period during which Verdi composed some of his best-loved works - Rigoletto, Il Trovatore and La Traviata - it was also a difficult time for him privately, the unmarried couple facing scandal when they moved back to the small Italian town of Bussetto.

MON 18:15 Opera on 3 (b03c08d3)
Verdi 200: Don Carlo

Part of Radio 3's Verdi 200 celebrations, Andrew McGregor presents a performance of Verdi's opera Don Carlo recorded at the Royal Opera House conducted by Antonio Pappano, starring Jonas Kaufmann and Anja Harteros

Don Carlos ..... Jonas Kaufmann (tenor)
Elisabeth ..... Anja Harteros (soprano)
Princess Eboli ..... Béatrice Uria-Monzon (mezzo-soprano)
Rodrigo ..... Mariusz Kwiecien (baritone)
Philippe II ..... Ferruccio Furlanetto (bass)
Grand Inquisitor ..... Eric Halfvarson (bass)
Charles V ..... Robert Lloyd (bass)
Count of Lerma ..... Pablo Bemsch (tenor)
Tebaldo ..... Dusica Bijelic (soprano)

Royal Opera Chorus
Orchestra of the Royal Opera House
Conducted by Antonio Pappano

This historical drama is based on Friedrich von Schiller's play 'Don Carlos, Infant of Spain' and is performed here in the five-act Italian version. Don Carlo, Prince of Asturias - sung by tenor Jonas Kaufmann, is the Spanish heir to the throne but in order to secure a peace treaty he has to see his betrothed lady, Elisabeth de Valois, soprano Anja Harteros, marry his own father, King Philip II. The opera is full of dramatic elements in addition to this love triangle, including the sacrifice of a deep friendship, mistaken identities, and a huge struggle between church and state. The power of Verdi's music is spell-binding and is perhaps at its most intense during the famous confrontation in Act IV between the King - sung here by bass Ferruccio Furlanetto - and the Grand Inquisitor, the bass Eric Halfvarson. Antonio Pappano conducts a marvellous cast, with the Chorus and Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, in a performance one critic called 'an evening of pure vocal pleasure.'.

Five radio producers from around the world hijack The Essay for a week to play a game of audio 'Consequences'.

As part of BBC Radio 3's celebration of twenty years of Between The Ears, the BBC's home for adventurous feature-making, five radio producers from different corners of the world play a week-long audio version of the popular childhood game Consequences.

Over the course of the week, the five elements of the narrative game are introduced - the woman, the man, where they met, what they said and the consequence ...

The series explores the many playful ways a story for the ear can be told - from documentary to drama, sound art to fantastical storytelling - with each player unaware of what has preceded them.

MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 (b03c08d7)
Brass Mask

Kevin Le Gendre presents British reeds player Tom Challenger and his Brass Mask octet performing music from their new album. With a line-up of 3 woodwind, 4 brass and percussion, they're tailor-made for the bluesy New Orleans street-band sound that filters through the music. But the avant-garde ensemble writing of Henry Threadgill is also an acknowledged influence on the group, reflected in the pinpoint ensemble writing, some abstracted grooves and plenty of surprising harmonic twists and turns.

Presenter: Kevin Le Gendre
Producers: Peggy Sutton and Chris Elcombe.

The Gentleman Farmer

[Donald Macleod explores Verdi's later life and music when, after years of honing his craft, he unleashed an outpouring of innovative masterworks that would propel opera from the world of the 19th century into the modern age. It wasn't a smooth road, though, and the aging composer had to be persuaded out of retirement several times as he found himself increasingly at odds with the world around him.]

Donald Macleod looks at Verdi's activities in the build-up to writing Aida, by which time he had become a major landowner. His life as a 'gentleman farmer' distracted him from composition - instead of writing music, he wrote to a friend, 'I only plant beans and cabbages'. In addition he tried his hand at a political career, had a mid-life crisis, and possibly an affair. But in the midst of all this he completed Aida for the opening of the Suez canal, and the eyes of the world were on him once more.

Hans Kung, Masters of Sex, Roots, Wendy Lower

The Roman Catholic Church is in crisis. Congregations are shrinking, teachings on contraception and sexuality alienate more than they illuminate, and the spectre of child abuse lurks in the background. These are several of the themes dealt with by Catholic theologian Hans Küng in his new work 'Can We Save The Catholic Church?' He discusses the future of his church with Anne McElvoy.

Last night in television world it was Sex Box and tonight it's Masters of Sex - the first episode of a 12 part drama documentary about Masters and Johnson - the couple who "taught America how to love" ...proof, if any were needed, that Channel 4 is as determined as ever to reclaim sex from the pornographers. Anna Raeburn and Adam Mars-Jones have watched the first episode and discuss it and the work of Masters and Johnson.

Arnold Wesker's trilogy of plays 'Chicken Soup with Barley,' 'Roots' and 'I'm talking about Jerusalem' began life on stage in 1958 and the scripts alone have sold more than 750, 000 copies over the ensuing 55 years. Tonight the second in the trilogy, Roots, set in the Norfolk family home of Beatie Bryant and dealing with themes such as the fate of the socialist ideal, the limitations of the welfare state and the stasis of the English class system begins a run at the Donmar Warehouse in London. Susannah Clapp comes straight from the theatre to the studio for a first night review.

The author Wendy Lower has written a new book 'Hitler's Furies - German women in the Nazi Killing Fields' and Anne McElvoy asks her what she found there.

That's Night Waves with Anne McElvoy.

WED 12:00 Composer of the Week (b03c4l70)
Verdi 200

A New Generation

[Donald Macleod explores Verdi's later life and music when, after years of honing his craft, he unleashed an outpouring of innovative masterworks that would propel opera from the world of the 19th century into the modern age. It wasn't a smooth road, though, and the aging composer had to be persuaded out of retirement several times as he found himself increasingly at odds with the world around him.]

Donald Macleod examines the beginnings of Verdi's collaborative relationship with Arrigo Boito, a man almost 30 years his junior. It started badly - at a banquet at which both men were present, Boito called on 'young Italian Art' to throw off the shackles imposed by the 'old and cretinous'. Verdi took it as a personal insult, but they managed to recover from this and Boito would become the librettist of Verdi's final works.

BBC Philharmonic
Juanjo Mena (conductor)

The BBC Philharmonic, with Chief Conductor Juanjo Mena, perform music from three of the ballets of the great Russian impresario and choroegrapher Serge Diaghilev. Falla's warm-hearted and earthy tale of infatuation and seduction contrasts with the mythological lovers depicted in Ravel's sumptuous score. Stravinsky's famous depiction of the the rituals surrounding the arrival of Spring in pagan Russia is amongst his most powerful and visceral compositions - its 1913 premiere creating a notable scandal in modern music.

In music by one of Stravinsky's compatriots, the Japanese violinist Akiko Suwanai joins the BBC Philharmonic before the interval in the dazzling concert showpiece that is Prokofiev's 2nd Violin Concerto.


WED 22:00 Night Waves (b03c09hr)
Verdi 200

Arts and cultural debate with Philip Dodd including social media and democracy, photographer Dayanita Singh plus Verdi...and Shakespeare.

Philip discusses the growing public interaction with the internet and rapid spread of social media; together are they creating a new form of organised network - one which alters historic mappings of power and authority? William Dutton, from Oxford University's Internet institute believes the evidence is growing for the emergence of a Fifth Estate - capable of calling democracies to account in new ways. While digital commentator Tom Standage argues that new social media, twitter, face book, weibo, and blogs are really a return to the very old media of parchment, pamphlets and coffee shops - that in fact, the more things change the more they stay the same.

The photographer, Dayanita Singh, documents our interior landscapes. At her new exhibition at London's Hayward Gallery, Go Away Closer, she tells Philip how her approach to the camera is influenced by the rigors of indian classical music and the demands of literature. For Dayanita Singh, images must be displayed and curated in such a way that they tell part of a story...and since the story is constantly evolving and changing, so must the way she chooses to show her work.

And as Radio 3 continues its season marking Verdi at 200 Philip Dodd talks to music historian Sarah Lenton and scholar Rene Weis about Verdi's passion for Shakespeare, how Shakespearean themes infuse all his operas after Macbeth and why he thought the baritone voice was perfect for his Shakespearean anti-heroes.

Old Age

It wasn't a smooth road, though, and the aging composer had to be persuaded out of retirement several times as he found himself increasingly at odds with the world around him.

Donald Macleod explores the rejuvenating influence on the aging Verdi of his librettist Arrigo Boito and his publisher Giulio Ricordi. The fruit of their collaboration was Otello, but two other projects also took up the composer's time in his seventies: the building of a hospital near his estate, and a musicians' rest home in Milan.

Verdi 200 - Giovanna d'Arco

Verdi 200: Verdi's dramatic opera Giovanna D'Arco is loosely based around the life of Joan of Arc. Verdi's librettist Solera also used a play by Schiller as the basis. Verdi was in his early 30s when it was written and premiered at La Scala Milan. It was popular with audiences but not with critics and though it received a number of productions throughout Italy during Verdi's lifetime it's rarely staged now. This concert performance took place at this year's Salzburg Festival and features three of the most outstanding Verdi singers today including Placido Domingo singing the baritone role of Giacomo, Giovanna's father for the first time. You can download a Radio 3 Opera Guide to the piece from the Radio 3 website.

BBC SSO - Debussy, Messiaen (part 1)

The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Jun Märkl perform orchestral music by Debussy and Messiaen and are joined by soprano Gweneth-Ann Jeffers for Messiaen's Poèmes pour Mi

Live from City Halls, Glasgow

Presented by Jamie MacDougall

Two masters of music in twentieth-century France: Debussy and Messiaen. The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra is joined by Jun Märkl, a German conductor with considerable renown for performances of French repertoire.

The concert opens with Les offrandes oubliées, a work which although written in 1930, early in Messiaen's career, already displays his deep spirituality and bold musical language. This is followed by his first song cycle Poèmes pour Mi -performed by soprano Gweneth-Ann Jeffers- itself a deeply personal work dedicated to Messiaen's first wife.

The concert concludes with Debussy's colourful orchestral masterpiece, Images. Consisting of three atmospheric sections Debussy draws on folk music from England, France and Spain amidst shimmering and exotic orchestral textures to create musical portraits infused with dance, ranging from 'The Streets and By-ways' of Ibéria to the 'Dances of Spring.'

Night Waves at ZSL London Zoo

Matthew Sweet discusses the ways we can think about our close association with primates

In the last of Matthew Sweet's visits to ZSL London Zoo we consider our relations with our closest animal relatives - apes.

Daniel Simmonds, Keeper at ZSL London Zoo's Gorilla Kingdom, discusses the problems that come with looking after creatures so similar to but different from us. Unlike most other animals gorillas will integrate their keepers into their social structures. But how do you manage such a relationship with a social creature that can't understand what you say? Is any kind of mutual understanding possible at all?

Matthew picks up the theme with anatomist and anthropologist Alice Roberts, physician and philosopher Raymond Tallis and novelist James Lever. All three have dealt with the questions thrown up by human/primate relations in different ways. So what happens when you stare into the eyes of an ape?

Producer: Luke Mulhall.

Over the course of the week, the five elements of the narrative game are introduced - the woman, the man, where they met, what they said and the consequence ...

The series explores the many playful ways a story for the ear can be told - from documentary to drama, sound art to fantastical storytelling - with each player unaware of what has preceded them.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b03c4l78)
Verdi 200

We're Still Here! Roll Up!

[Donald Macleod explores Verdi's later life and music when, after years of honing his craft, he unleashed an outpouring of innovative masterworks that would propel opera from the world of the 19th century into the modern age. It wasn't a smooth road, though, and the ageing composer had to be persuaded out of retirement several times as he found himself increasingly at odds with the world around him.]

Donald Macleod looks at Verdi's last opera, the comic masterpiece Falstaff, written with the librettist Arrigo Boito, and completed in the composer's 80th year. Having lived through most of the 19th century, and revitalised Italian opera, Verdi died in 1901, with Boito at his side.

Consequences

And the Consequence Was...

Five radio producers from around the world hijack The Essay for a week to play a game of audio 'Consequences'.

As part of BBC Radio 3's celebration of twenty years of Between The Ears', the BBC's home for adventurous feature-making, five radio producers from different corners of the world play a week-long audio version of the popular childhood game Consequences.

Five radio producers from different corners of the world play a week-long audio version of the popular childhood game Consequences.

Over the course of the week, the five elements of the narrative game are introduced - the woman, the man, where they met, what they said and the consequence ...

The series explores the many playful ways a story for the ear can be told - from documentary to drama, sound art to fantastical storytelling - with each player unaware of what has preceded them.

5. And the Consequence Was ...

Mirroring the structure of the game itself, three stories are interwoven about the marks left on the body by love, accident and design, inspired by the words "nobody can see what we can see" which appeared at the end of the first ever edition of Between the Ears in 1993.

Producer: Steve Urquhart
A Falling Tree production for BBC Radio 3.
