Sarah's guest this week is the American novelist Douglas Kennedy. Born in Manhattan, Douglas divides his time between there and Maine as well as Berlin, Paris and London. His books are internationally renowned, with 11 novels translated in 22 countries. Three films have been made from his work, including 'The Big Picture' starring Romain Duris and Catherine Deneuve, and 'The Woman in the Fifth' with Ethan Hawke and Kristin Scott Thomas. He is the most celebrated modern American writer in France where his last six novels have all been critically acclaimed no.1 Bestsellers. In 2007 he was awarded The Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and received the first Grand Prix du Figaro two years later. He continues to contribute reportage, essays and literary reviews to The Times The New Statesman, Le Monde, Le Figaro and Le Nouvel Observateur. His most recent novel, 'Five Days', was published to critical acclaim in 2013 and is published by Arrow in paperback next month.
Symphony No. 44 in E minor (Trauer)
According to popular wisdom (and pub quizzes), famous Belgians may be a bit thin on the ground, but as Donald Macleod makes clear in this week's Composer of the Week, César Franck (1822-1890) surely deserves to be in that number. Born in Liège the son of a domineering father, he showed great musical promise at an early age. A pianist of prodigious gifts, and very large hands, he was soon being displayed to the world by his proud father. But when the family moved to Paris, his first attempt to enrol at the city's Conservatoire was a failure - he was deemed too young, and too Belgian! He was driven to compose at a very young age and, although his juvenilia has not stood the test of time, he made a good impression with his Opus 1, a piano trio, impressing such luminaries as Franz Liszt. Forced by his father into a punishing regime of touring, teaching and performance, by his mid-twenties César longed to break away from the paternal grasp. When it came, the rupture was occasioned by the small matter of a song - l'Ange et l'Enfant - and the woman to whom it was dedicated.

Recorded last autumn at New York's Metropolitan Opera House, Der Rosenkavalier as part of our Strauss 150 celebrations. Based on Hofmannstahl's libretto, this bittersweet comic opera, Strauss's homage to Mozart and the Viennese waltz, poses deeper questions about how love is affected by the passing of time and by men's fickleness. Edward Gardner conducts the Met's orchestra and chorus, with a superb cast led by Martina Serafin as the Marschallin, Alice Coote as Octavian, Erin Morley as Sophie, and Peter Rose as Baron Ochs

A series of essays on what Forgiveness is, what it isn't, and how you do it. Journalist Madeleine Bunting: 'Forgiveness is not some fairy wand which magics away the pain and anger. It's not a feeling at all. It's a choice'.
Trumpeter Nick Malcolm has emerged in the last couple of years as one to watch on the British scene. Here leading his quartet in concert at the Vortex Jazz Club in Dalston, East London, his ambitious compositional and playing style comes to the fore in music that merges short, cell-like themes with loose improvisational structures. The quartet's soundworld incorporates echoes of Miles Davis hardbop and 20th-century chamber music, as well as more avant-garde leanings. Experienced free improvisers, pianist Alexander Hawkins and bassist Olie Brice take the music in unexpected directions, while drummer Mark Whitlam offers traces of the groove-music scene of Malcolm's native Bristol.
Also on the programme, journalist Stephen Graham explores a growing trend of bands that are stripping away harmonic complexity and putting melody and groove at the heart of their music.

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (b03w0hrx)
Cesar Franck (1822-1890)
Marriage and Musicianship
Donald Macleod continues his look at the life and career of Belgian composer, César Franck. After years under the heel of his domineering father, by his mid-twenties Franck is prompted to stand up to the bullying Nicholas-Joseph, all in the name of love. He was determined to marry one of his pupils, to whom he dedicated a song. Franck even moved out of his family home to join his future in-laws. When finally, in 1848, he was able to marry the woman of his dreams, he was faced with a riot - not between his parents and in-laws, but between pro and anti-government forces! Marriage broadened his outlook and introduced him to the pleasures of literature, which in turn would inspire some of his composition, such as the orchestral meditation, Ce qu'on Entend sur la Montagne. Meanwhile, we find Franck eking out a living by teaching, and by playing the organ. The revival of French organ making by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll would transform Franck's view of the instrument, and inspire him to compose some of his finest music for the instrument.

Cesar Franck (1822-1890)
War and the Franckistes
What did you do in the war, Papa? In today's programme Donald Macleod finds César Franck and his sons caught up in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. The composer is now at the head of an adoring band of young composers - Franckistes - eager to learn from the master, even when the public at large was indifferent. In the midst of a siege, Franck volunteers to help keep Paris alive through deliveries of fuel and portions of chocolate. He is also be inspired to start work on his epic choral work, Les Beatitudes which, like most of his works, would endure a disastrous premiere! After the war, Franck's followers would establish the Société Nationale de Musique. As we'll discover, this was generally good news for the promotion of instrumental music. But as Franck's circle of young composers grew ever wider, a rift would start to appear between César and his wife Felicité, who grew increasingly resentful of their presence. Nevertheless, Franck managed to pen the one song by which he is best known to the world: Panis Angelicus. With his Trois Pièces written for organ, he would also impress audiences in the vast hall of the Trocadero Palace!

London Philharmonic Orchestra
Vladimir Jurowski conductor
Bruckner's Second Symphony is where his epic symphonic journey really begins - where we encounter for the first time that rhythmic power, rolling inevitability and humble tunefulness that make his huge orchestral canvases so irresistible. Brahms simply hoped his Double Concerto for violin and cello 'might deliver some fun'. But it turned out to be one of his most unique and strangely touching works, a piece full of fantasy and invention that has been described as an 'endless love song' between two instruments, 'an opera without words'.

Cesar Franck (1822-1890)
Holmes and the Mystery Romance
Were they in love? Did anything happen? The rumour mills of musical Paris were never more active than when the whiskery César Franck appeared to pay inordinate attention to a glamorous female pupil, one Augusta Holmès. Donald Macleod continues his account of the life and times of the Belgian composer, looking at the turbulent background to his celebrated piano quintet. Now a professor of organ at the Paris Conservatoire, Franck continued to try his hand unsuccessfully at composing for the opera stage. With a plot deemed too violent for public performance, he salvaged some measure of self-respect by getting some of the music performed as a ballet - he even danced to some of it whilst in his nightshirt!

BBC SSO - Schumann, Beethoven, Copland
The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Andrew Manze, performs Schumann and Copland, and is joined by Steven Osborne for Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto.
Live from City Halls, Glasgow
Presented by Ian Skelly
Copland: Quiet City
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No 3 in C minor
8.20 Interval
Although Irwin Shaw's play Quiet City is largely forgotten, Copland's evocative music survives. During tonight's interval, in a specially written response to the music, performed at Glasgow's City Halls, Scottish writer Louise Welsh explores the city at night and the blurred lines between the natural world and the built environment.
8.40
Schumann: Symphony No 2 in C major
Steven Osborne (piano)
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Andrew Manze (conductor)
As its bluesy trumpet and cor anglais melodies dialogue against gentle string harmonies, Copland's theatre music for Quiet City can be heard as an evocation of the isolation and loneliness of city life in the 1930s. In a more cheerful vein, conductor Andrew Manze, renowned for his work in the classical repertoire, continues the complete Beethoven Piano Concerto cycle with Steven Osborne and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Tonight they perform the 3rd Concerto, in which the joyful C-major conclusion seems to pre-echo the finale of this evening's concert.
And in spite of Schumann's troubled mental state at the time of writing, his Symphony No. 2 seems to sing with optimism. The great C-major work journeys over the course of its four movements from an exploratory chorale-like opening, through a vivacious scherzo, and a tender and searching Adagio, towards its ebullient and uncompromisingly triumphant conclusion.

Cesar Franck (1822-1890)
The Final Years of Pere Franck
Donald Macleod completes this week's look at the life and works of the Belgian composer, César Franck. In France, Franck was made a knight of the Legion of Honour for his services to the Paris Conservatoire, but it was in Belgium that he enjoyed some of his few successes. One of these was the premiere of his violin sonata, composed as a wedding present for his compatriot Ysaye, and first performed at the wedding breakfast! Further strain on his own marriage came with the composition of his erotically-charged symphonic poem, Psyché; Mme Franck 'mislayed' her tickets to the first performance. Franck was eventually struck down in the prime of life through the most banal of accidents, involving a horse-drawn bus, and he ended his days completing a final testament to his profound religious faith - his Three Chorales for organ.

Rimsky-Korsakov: Sheherazade
BBC Symphony Orchestra
Maxim Vengerov (violin/conductor)
Antonio Meneses (cello)
Igor Levit (piano)
Andrew Litton (conductor*)
Three of the best soloists working today join together to perform Beethoven's elegant Triple Concerto, with the celebrated Russian violin virtuoso Maxim Vengerov and his hand-picked choice of collaborators, under the direction of Andrew Litton. In his musical version of Sheherazade's night of magnificent tales, Rimsky-Korsakov conjured magic, propulsion and beauty in some of the most intoxicating orchestral music ever written. The young sultana Scheherazade can delay her daybreak execution only by diverting the sultan with magnificent stories. She tells him of The Sea and the Shipwreck on the Rock, The Young Prince and Princess and The Festival of Baghdad. In this concert, in a similarly astonishing show of skill and dexterity, Maxim Vengerov plays the violin solos and conducts the orchestra for the seat-pinning power of Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade.

Bulgarian Voices Angelite
Lopa Kothari with tracks from across the globe, a studio session with Bulgarian Voices Angelite, and part 5 of Commonwealth Connections with music from Namibia and Tanzania.
COMMONWEALTH CONNECTIONS
This landmark 26-part weekly series leading up to the Commonwealth Games in July features music from each of the 53 member states, reflecting the range of music and culture across the whole Commonwealth.
Music feature from Namibia:
In the Namibian bush, close to the Botswana border, two San families share their musical traditions. As one of southern Africa's oldest peoples, the San are proud of a way of life that is dying out. We hear berry-picking work songs and healing dances that have been performed for centuries. In Namibia's capital Windhoek, singer-songwriter Elemotho is also preserving Namibian traditions through his music. He explains how his childhood in the Kalahari Desert has influenced his songs.
Heritage track from Tanzania:
Suleman Nyambui Mujaya struck silver for Tanzania in the 5000 metres at the Moscow Olympics in 1980. He stayed in sport and is now General Secretary of Athletics Tanzania.
His chosen artist is Best Nasso, and the track is Narudi Kijijini, a warning for young Africans leaving their villages that life in the big city might not be all it's cracked up to be.
Session with Bulgarian Voices Angelite:
Formed from the ashes of the old State Television Choir by the State Choir's manager Tanja Andreeva, The Bulgarian Voices Angelite have become one of the most renowned vocal ensembles from the Balkans. The choir comprises 19 female voices, under the leadership of Georgy Petkov, and creates a unique blend of classical and folk traditions and an enchanting array of vocal sounds. Their new album 'Angelite' is out now on German label Jaro.
