SAT 12:15 Music Matters (b03g22qh)
The Leonard Bernstein Letters, Joshua Rifkin, Andrew Carnegie

With Petroc Trelawny.
Including a review of The Leonard Bernstein Letters, edited by Nigel Simeone. This new collection of letters presents a revealing selection of exchanges between Bernstein and a wide range of correspondents including Aaron Copland, Bette Davis and Jerome Robbins, as well as his family. Petroc talks to Simeone, and is joined to review it by the American conductor and producer John Mauceri, a protege of Bernstein's, and the writer and broadcaster Edward Seckerson.
Liz Mcdonald tells the story of the Scots-American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, who died in 1919 leaving a musical legacy including over 7,000 church organs, and 3000 libraries and music halls.
Petroc catches up with Anne Midgette of the Washington Post about some of the current top music stories in the US, from the Minnesota Orchestra to New York's mayoral elections.
And Joshua Rifkin, whose career as a pianist and academic has spanned Renaissance motets to ragtime masters, talks to Petroc about the music of Scott Joplin, growing up amongst the modernists of New York, and his now influential theory that most of Bach's choral works were sung with only one singer per part, an idea widely rejected when Rifkin first proposed it in the 1980s.

SAT 16:00 Sound of Cinema (b03g22qm)
Lost Children

Matthew Sweet looks at music inspired by the theme of lost children prompted by this week's new release, Stephen Frears's "Philomena", with music by Alexandre Desplat.

"Philomena" won Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope the Best Screenplay award at the 70th Venice Film Festival, and Dame Judy Dench's central performance has been widely tipped for a best-actress award. The film is a moving account of a mother's loss of a child, sold for adoption. The film score is by the enormously succesful French composer, Alexandre Desplat, who also wrote the music for "The King's Speech", "The Girl with a Pearl Earring" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".

Philomena is Radio 3's Sound of Cinema's featured new release of the week, and as well as offering a chance to hear music from the film, plus other scores by Desplat, Matthew takes the subject of the lost child to reflect other film scores inspired by this subject, including music by Angelo Badalamenti, Rachel Portman, Max Richter and Franz Waxman

SAT 21:45 The Wire (b03g22qw)
The Insider

by Leila Aboulela

The Wire and Drama on 3 join forces to mark the centenary of Albert Camus' birth, twinning John Retallack's new dramatisation of 'The Outsider', with Leila Aboulela's 'The Insider' for The Wire - a drama inspired by Camus' classic, which takes its only two Arab characters- vital to its story but unspeaking and even unnamed by Camus - and reimagines their lives.

Leila Aboulela writes:

"One of my favourite novels is 'Wide Sargasso Sea' by Jean Rhys, in which she tells the story of the first Mrs Rochester, Bertha Mason, the mad women in the attic in Charlotte Bronte's classic 'Jane Eyre'.

'Wide Sargasso Sea' fills in the Caribbean spaces of Jane Eyre which Charlotte Bronte could not have had access to. The mad woman in the attic becomes a woman with a country and a family, a story and more importantly, a voice. This is what 'The Insider' does. Not as a missing jigsaw piece, but as an extruding slice of the novel. ''Raymond's Mistress" and her brother "The Arab" become main characters, who have their own side to the story and well beyond it.

There are parallels between our character Fatima, and Meursault, the protagonist of The Outsider. She is a sinner in a world which urges her to repent. Her senses respond to clothes - specifically French fashion- as Meursault's respond to Nature. She is an outsider too: a prostitute in a conservative society. And, at a certain point, both of them find themselves alone in the dark. But Fatima is also an Insider, because she is not a stranger to herself, and because, through loving her brother, she eventually connects to a higher form of spiritual Love."

Leila Aboulela won the first Caine Prize for African Writing. Her novel 'Lyrics Alley' is set in 1950s Sudan and is inspired by the life of her uncle the poet Hassan Awad Aboulela who wrote the lyrics for many popular Sudanese songs. Leila is the author of two other novels: The Translator, one of The New York Times 100 Notable Books of the Year, and Minaret- both long-listed for the Orange Prize and the IMPAC Dublin Award. Her collection of short stories Coloured Lights was short-listed for the Macmillan Silver PEN Award.
Leila's work has been translated into twelve languages and included in publications such as Granta, The Washington Post and the Virginia Quarterly Review. BBC Radio has adapted her work extensively and broadcast a number of her plays, including 'The Mystic Life' and the historical drama 'The Lion of Chechnya'. The five-part radio serialization of 'The Translator' was short-listed for the RIMA (Race In the Media Award). Leila grew up in Khartoum, and has lived much of her adult life between Scotland and Doha.


SAT 22:30 Hear and Now (b03g22qy)
Boulez - Pli selon pli

Pierre Boulez's Pli selon pli a classic of French modernism recorded in a concert given last month at City Halls, Glasgow by the soprano Marisol Montalvo and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra conducted by Matthias Pintscher
Ivan Hewett talk to Matthias Pintscher about a work which encompassed more than 30 years of Boulez's composing life.
Although based on a text by Stephan Mallarmé, as Matthias Pintscher says: "Mallarmé's words in Pli selon pli don't really tell stories. Instead they offer abstract images that allow our imaginations to create our own experiences and associations.... Boulez takes us by the hand and leads us into this astonishingly beautiful garden and we are free to walk around it in any direction we choose."
Also in the programme, Une page d'éphéméride, pour piano, one of Boulez's latest compositions is played by Hideki Nagano (piano)
Presented by Ivan Hewett

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b03g2r57)
Roddy Doyle

It was a band called The Commitments that first brought Roddy Doyle fame 25 years ago - not a real group of musicians, but a comic novel about a group of Dublin teenagers who get together and form a soul band. The book and its sequels became successful films. Roddy Doyle gave up his job as a teacher and has gone on to write nine more novels set in Dublin, where he grew up and still lives.

One of them, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, won the Booker Prize and is a memorable tour de force told entirely in the voice of a ten-year-old Dublin boy. Roddy Doyle has also written for children, for the theatre and the cinema, and now, after 25 years, he's back where he started - he's turned The Commitments into a musical which has just opened in London's West End.

Roddy's music choices range from the richness of Pergolesi and Mozart to the sparse modernism of Steve Reich and Brian Eno, with a touching love song to end the programme.

He talks to Michael Berkeley about music while you work, the pleasures of Dublin dialogue, and the joy of taking up the trumpet in middle age.

First broadcast November 2013.

SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature (b03g2r5j)
Albert Camus: Inside the Outsider

A century after the birth of literature's most enigmatic Outsider, Albert Camus aficionado Professor Andrew Hussey celebrates the controversial life and work of the globally feted French writer and philosopher, and searches out the private man behind the handsome Bogart lookalike public face.

Andrew Hussey interviews confidants and colleagues from Camus' Parisian days, as well as his daughter at the Provencal family home. He uncovers a web of contradictions.

From the dusty backstreets of Algiers to the smoky Existentialist cafes of the Left Bank in wartime Paris; from the Nobel ceremony in Stockholm to the twisted car wreckage near Sens, Camus' story grips and dazzles just as do the novels we remember him for today: The Outsider, The Plague and The Fall.

A man of principle intent on resisting the Nazis and liberating occupied Paris, yet unable to back the cause of Algerian independence and branded a reactionary; the life and soul of any party, prone to depression and craving solitude. A family man whose high profile affairs drove his wife to attempt suicide.

And that fatal car crash...That may have been no accident...Enter the KGB...

Incorporating rare archive of Camus reading from his novels and acclaimed writers musing on their startling narrative power, the programme also confronts the darker side of Camus' reputation.
Probing Algerian and European thinkers on the vilification of Camus as a colonialist, Hussey unearths a virtual smear campaign that kept literary rival Jean Paul Sartre's star in the ascendant and Camus' low on the horizon. But now it is Camus' works that have stood the test of time to thrill and inspire a new 21st century generation of readers, and his philosophy of tolerance and moderation that speaks to today's ever more troubled age.

Producer Karen Holden

First broadcast in November 2013.


SUN 19:30 Radio 3 Live in Concert (b03g2r5l)
BBC NOW - Stravinsky, Mozart

Live from Memorial Hall, Marlborough College, Wiltshire

Presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas

Jac van Steen returns to the orchestra where he was until recently Principal Guest Conductor, for two great works by Stravinsky in neo-classical style. The chamber concerto "Dumbarton Oaks" was named after the Washington estate where it was first performed in 1938. Commissioned to be in the style of a Bach Brandenburg Concerto, it's full of wit within the ever-changing combinations of instruments Stravinsky pulls out of the tightly-knit ensemble. His one-act ballet Pulcinella was written for the famous impresario Serge Diaghilev nearly twenty years earlier. It's based on trio sonatas Stravinsky believed to be by Pergolesi (some of which may actually have been written by Pergolesi). The Neapolitan tale comes from the Commedia dell'arte, full of the playfulness of romance, which despite its many trials and tribulations, ends happily ever after. In between comes a treasure of the Classical period - Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante. It's an outstanding landmark in the composer's development, which imaginatively pits the solo violin and viola as equal partners, using all the musical skills and inventiveness Mozart had absorbed from his travels throughout Europe.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b03g2tj2)
Ethel Smyth (1858-1944)

The Birth of a Composer

Early works from Ethel Smyth including songs, chamber music and her Mass in D.

Accounts of Dame Ethel Smyth cast her as a doughty figure, unafraid to flout convention. Born into an upper class Victorian family, the fact that Smyth wanted a professional career in music is exceptional in itself. Two major choral works, several orchestral works, six operas and a significant body of chamber music, attest to her seriousness of purpose as a composer. However, the sheer gusto and number of other activities the ebullient Smyth pursued have tended to obscure her artistic reception. A keen traveller, she was a successful author, producing 9 largely autobiographical books. A life-long champion of women's rights, among the causes she supported was Mrs. Pankhurst's "right to vote" campaign. Her competitive nature found a perfect partner in sport; she was often to be found riding to hounds, playing tennis matches or striding over the golf course. As one rather bemused contemporary musician remarked when he met her, she is "the most remarkable and original woman composer in the history of music".

Donald Macleod begins his survey with Dame Ethel's struggles to establish herself as a musician. She fought with her father, a Major-General in the British army, for seven years to study music in Germany. Once there, she was recognised as a composer for the first time, mixed with influential musical circles and came into contact with Brahms, whose influence permeates her early songs and chamber music.

Episode 1

In Afternoon on 3 this week you can hear the BBC Symphony Orchestra performing live and also in recordings from its recent tour to Japan and South Korea, featuring British music. Plus the BBC Singers live and in recent recordings with more music from these isles and also from France and Eastern Europe, featuring music appropriate for Remembrance Day. There's also a focus throughout the week on twentieth-century music inspired by earlier music.

We begin today with Sakari Oramo conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra live from their home in London, the Maida Vale studios, with Brahms's Variations on a theme by Haydn, Hindemith's viola concerto Der Schwanendreher. Then, this live transmission takes a break during which we hear a performance by the BBC Singers, recorded earlier this year, of Walter Vale'e Requiem for double choir under conductor Paul Brough, appropriate for remembering the victims of war. After that the concert continues live again from Maida Vale with the BBC SO and Britten's string orchestra masterpiece inspired by his teacher Frank Bridge.

That concert is followed by another recent recording by the BBC Singers as they perform Dvorak's Mass in D major Op.86, as well as Kodaly's motet Jesus and the Traders.

MON 19:15 Opera on 3 (b03g2wkk)
Donizetti's Roberto Devereux

Donizetti's Roberto Devereux
Presented by Mary King

Alessandro Talevi's new production of Donizetti's rarely heard Roberto Devereux is headed by soprano Alexandra Deshorties as Elizabeth, Queen of England, and tenor Leonardo Capalbo as Robert Devereux the Earl of Essex, with David Kempster and Leah-Marian Jones as the Duke and Duchess of Nottingham, Geraint Dodd as Lord William Cecil, and William Robert Allenby as Sir Walter Raleigh, with the chorus and orchestra of Welsh National Opera. The performance is conducted by Daniele Rustioni.

Donizetti's third Tudor opera, Roberto Devereux, is given a new look by Director Alessandro Talevi, and Designer Madeleine Boyd. It is a story of love and deceit; Devereux is the lover of Queen Elizabeth I but Parliament has pushed through a charge of treason against him. The Queen's attempts to save Devereux are frustrated by her suspicions that he loves another. Devereux and Sarah, the Duchess of Nottingham, have been seeing each other for some time, and upon discovery of this fact by both the Queen and the Duke of Nottingham, Devereux must meet an inevitable end. The Queen in turn, is forced to confront her old age and a lonely journey towards her own death, and in a fit of frustration and anger, announces her abdication in favour of Charles I.

Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex ..... Leonardo Capalbo (tenor)

MON 22:00 Free Thinking (b03g2wkm)
2013 Festival

Controlling Moods and Minds: Depression and Smart Drugs

Professor Barbara Sahakian's book Bad Moves questions the ethics of smart drugs; they help treat brain injury and illness but should they be available to the healthy? Richard Bentall is the Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Liverpool and author of Madness Explained and Doctoring the Mind.
Guardian columnist and author Clare Allan drew on her experiences of being a psychiatric patient in her novel Poppy Shakespeare.
The theme of this year's Free Thinking Festival is "Who's In Control?". Presenter Rana Mitter chairs this discussion looking at the neuroscience of depression, how it affects decision-making and the morality of medical treatments.

Producer: Philippa Ritchie.

Free Thinking Essay

Wombs on Legs? Science Fiction and the Control of Reproduction

From HG Wells and Margaret Atwood to Battlestar Galactica, science fiction texts and tv series have long used birth control as a metaphor for the limits on individual freedom. Sarah Dillon, from the University of St Andrews, looks at the roles for women which science fiction has imagined and asks is sci-fi sexist?

Producer: Luke Mulhall

First broadcast in November 2013.


MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 (b03g2wkr)
Paul Dunmall Sextet

Drawing on the jazz and folk traditions, Paul Dunmall's music is precise and uncompromising, but full of expression, whether on his usual tenor and alto sax, the rare saxello or even the Northumbrian pipes. And there's a strong Coltrane influence too - unsurprising given he played and studied early on in his career with Alice Coltrane. Presented by Kevin Le Gendre.

Ethel Smyth (1858-1944)

A Happy Time in Misery

Donald Macleod considers the impact of Ethel Smyth's earliest romantic entanglements with music from her String Quartet in E minor and Serenade in D.

Accounts of Dame Ethel Smyth cast her as a doughty figure, unafraid to flout convention. Born into an upper class Victorian family, the fact that Smyth wanted a professional career in music is exceptional in itself. Two major choral works, several orchestral works, six operas and a significant body of chamber music, attest to her seriousness of purpose as a composer. However, the sheer gusto and number of other activities the ebullient Smyth pursued have tended to obscure her artistic reception. A keen traveller, she was a successful author, producing 9 largely autobiographical books. A life-long champion of women's rights, among the causes she supported was Mrs. Pankhurst's "right to vote" campaign. Her competitive nature found a perfect partner in sport; she was often to be found riding to hounds, playing tennis matches or striding over the golf course. As one rather bemused contemporary musician remarked when he met her, she is "the most remarkable and original woman composer in the history of music".

Today, a chance meeting with the American writer and philosopher Henry Brewster leads to the break up of Smyth's close relationship with Brewster's sister-in-law, Lisl von Herzogenberg. Meanwhile, encouraged by Tchaikovsky, Smyth begins to work on larger scale works, and finds success on the concert platform with her Serenade in D.

WED 12:00 Composer of the Week (b03g2y69)
Ethel Smyth (1858-1944)

Troubles with Henry

A reunion with Henry Brewster and London success for Ethel Smyth, with music from the Mass in D, the Serenade in D and Four Songs for voice and chamber ensemble.

Accounts of Dame Ethel Smyth cast her as a doughty figure, unafraid to flout convention. Born into an upper class Victorian family, the fact that Smyth wanted a professional career in music is exceptional in itself. Two major choral works, several orchestral works, six operas and a significant body of chamber music, attest to her seriousness of purpose as a composer. However, the sheer gusto and number of other activities the ebullient Smyth pursued have tended to obscure her artistic reception. A keen traveller, she was a successful author, producing nine largely autobiographical books. A life-long champion of women's rights, among the causes she supported was Mrs. Pankhurst's "right to vote" campaign. Her competitive nature found a perfect partner in sport; she was often to be found riding to hounds, playing tennis matches or striding over the golf course. As one rather bemused contemporary musician remarked when he met her, she is "the most remarkable and original woman composer in the history of music".

Donald Macleod examines the significance of two of Ethel Smyth's most important relationships, with American writer and philosopher Henry Brewster, who wrote several librettos for her operas, and Empress Eugènie, the exiled widow of Napoleon III, who helped launch the Mass in D and her Four Songs for Voice and Chamber Ensemble.

Science and Sensibility

Today many scientists are engaged in exploring the interaction between logical and intuitive aspects of the mind. Gregory Tate, from the University of Surrey, argues that novelists have been examining similar psychological questions for centuries. The theme of this year's Free Thinking Festival is "Who's In Control?", and Gregory Tate's talk outlines the way the novels of Jane Austen shed light on the balance of power between thought and emotion.

Political Alliances

Ethel Smyth and her association with the suffragettes, featuring music from The Boatswain's Mate and The Wreckers.

Accounts of Dame Ethel Smyth cast her as a doughty figure, unafraid to flout convention. Born into an upper class Victorian family, the fact that Smyth wanted a professional career in music is exceptional in itself. Two major choral works, several orchestral works, six operas and a significant body of chamber music, attest to her seriousness of purpose as a composer. However, the sheer gusto and number of other activities the ebullient Smyth pursued have tended to obscure her artistic reception.

Her competitive nature found a perfect partner in sport; she was often to be found riding to hounds, playing tennis matches or striding over the golf course. As one rather bemused contemporary musician remarked when he met her, she is "the most remarkable and original woman composer in the history of music".

Donald Macleod charts Ethel Smyth's involvement in women's suffrage. Inspired by meeting Emmeline Pankhurst, head of the Women's Social and Political Union, Smyth decided to take two years off her musical career to help support the fight for women's rights. Her activism famously led to her imprisonment for throwing stones through a suffrage opponent's window. In 1912, having resumed her music career, she began work on what's probably her most feminist influenced work, the comic opera, the Boatswain's Mate.

Verdi 200: Attila

Presented by Penny Gore.

Thursday Opera Matinee continues Radio 3's series of every opera Giuseppe Verdi ever wrote, as part of the Verdi 200 bicentenary celebrations, with his opera Attila. Riccardo Muti conducts a vintage recording from La Scala Theatre, Milan, with a cast in its prime - including Samuel Ramey in the title role and Cheryl Studer as Odabella, the beautiful female warrior who captures his heart. As you can tell from that, Verdi's tale of the King of the Huns is perhaps not 100% rooted in historical fact.

After the opera, you can hear more from this week's featured performers: the BBC Symphony Orchestra playing British music on tour in South Korea, and the BBC Singers with music by Darius Milhaud.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b03g2y6f)
Ethel Smyth (1858-1944)

Starting Over

Ethel Smyth's career after 1912: with further performances of her operas, and two major new works, the Prison and Concerto for Violin, Horn and Orchestra.

Accounts of Dame Ethel Smyth cast her as a doughty figure, unafraid to flout convention. Born into an upper class Victorian family, the fact that Smyth wanted a professional career in music is exceptional in itself. Two major choral works, several orchestral works, six operas and a significant body of chamber music, attest to her seriousness of purpose as a composer. However, the sheer gusto and number of other activities the ebullient Smyth pursued have tended to obscure her artistic reception. A keen traveller, she was a successful author, producing nine largely autobiographical books. A life-long champion of women's rights, among the causes she supported was Mrs. Pankhurst's "right to vote" campaign. Her competitive nature found a perfect partner in sport; she was often to be found riding to hounds, playing tennis matches or striding over the golf course. As one rather bemused contemporary musician remarked when he met her, she is "the most remarkable and original woman composer in the history of music".

Today, Donald Macleod explores Ethel Smyth's career following her resumption of music in 1912. By this time Smyth's hearing was failing, yet despite this obstacle, an originality shines through the Concerto for Violin, Horn and Orchestra. She also had the joy of seeing many more performances of her operas in Germany and in the UK.
