[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.

The BBC Philharmonic, with Chief Conductor Juanjo Mena, perform music for three ballets of the great Russian choreographer Serge Diaghilev, by de Falla, Stravinsky and Ravel
Ravel: Daphnis and Chloë - Suite No. 2
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.
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.
Originally conceived as part of a game of audio Consequences, tonight's episode evokes a sense of place - Where They Met - a space for luck, risk and encounters with destiny ...
The Canadian sound artist Sarah Boothroyd offers a portrait of a race course and characters who surrender themselves to chance.
Tonight's sequence includes a Debussy piano etude performed by Nelson Goerner, a piece of free jazz from guitarist Pat Metheny, French singer Melissmell, plus instrumental music from 15th-century Spain in a recording by the K'antu Ensemble.

Verdi 200
Old Age
[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 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.

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.

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.

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
