SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00fr26z)
500 years ago this year, one of the most monumental artistic achievements the earth has ever seen was begun as Michelangelo began to paint the now iconic ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. Remarkably Michelangelo was born in the same year as work on the Sistine Chapel was begun: 1475, he was 8 when it was completed and 33 when he began the task of painting it's ceiling. It was to take 4 years to complete. Lucie Skeaping traces the lives of the great artist and the chapel through music, examining this historic event in more detail.

Charlie Christian
Guitarist John Etheridge joins Alyn Shipton to select the finest recordings by the great innovator and instrumentalist Charlie Christian. Because his life was cut short by tuberculosis at the age of 25, he left only a small but highly rated collection of recordings. But Christian is considered to have changed the course of jazz by amplifying the guitar and bringing it centre stage, particularly in the Benny Goodman small groups.

Live from the Met

Berlioz's La damnation de Faust
Launching the 2008 season of Live from the Met broadcasts from New York, James Levine conducts tenor Marcello Giordani as Faust and mezzo-soprano Susan Graham as Marguerite in Berlioz's adaptation of Goethe's story of a man who sells his soul to the Devil.
In a story that is more romantically focused than the Goethe version, the evil Mephistopheles introduces Faust to Marguerite and causes them to fall in love. Faust is tricked into selling his soul to save the woman he loves, ultimately sacrificing himself so that she might reach heaven.
Presented by Margaret Juntwait, with guest commentator Ira Siff.

Randomly recorded sound, Lou has found, is an very precise trigger for memory.

Vivaldi Concertos
Catherine Bott talks to the violinist and director of the ensemble La Serenissima, Adrian Chandler, about his recordings of some of Antonio Vivaldi's lesser-known concertos. Vivaldi wrote over five hundred concertos, including many for his own instrument, the violin, along with some for larger and grander ensembles. Adrian Chandler has long been a champion of Vivaldi as a composer, and is keen to demonstrate some of his less popular works in the concerto idiom. The programme will include complete performances of the Concerto for violin, 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns and timpani RV562a, and the violin concerto in F major RV292.

Musical Heritage of the English Oratories
Aled Jones explores the rich musical heritage of the English Oratories, which were established by Cardinal John Henry Newman in 1848 following a visit to the oratory of St Philip Neri in Rome, where Tomas Luis de Victoria once resided. His music still resounds in the oratories at Birmingham and London, but just how did an oratory school choir find themselves on the Lord of the Rings film soundtrack?

Yiddish: A Struggle for Survival
Dennis Marks sets out to discover what has become of Yiddish, a language which at its height is estimated to have been spoken by more than ten million people. He travels to New York and hears from the publisher of The Forward, once the world's most popular Yiddish newspaper but now in seemingly terminal decline. And he explores the enormous influence of Yiddish culture on American life, its literature and comedic tradition.
SUN 22:25 Words and Music (b00fr76s)
Winter
This week’s Words and Music is devoted to the season Emily Dickinson described as the time when the sky is low and the clouds are mean: winter. Winter in the countryside is celebrated in Wordsworth’s ‘The Prelude’ when, as a child, he and his friends skated along the ice, flying through the cold in the darkness. With this you’ll hear Peter Maxwell Davies’ ‘At the lochan’ from his ‘Seven Songs Home’, the series of songs which tell the story of children in the Orkneys making their way home from school on a winter’s afternoon. Mark Doty’s walk with his dogs as the sun sets is heard alongside the Finnish composer Rautavaara’s concerto for birds and orchestra, ‘Cantus Arcticus’. The memory of winter past is heard in David Hartnett’s ‘Two winters’ in which a man, now a parent himself, remembers his father shovelling snow outside his childhood home, a time in which he dreamed that the snow fell for years ‘and the ray of stars like birds’ feet flecked the white’. Winters in California and Tangiers are evoked by the poets Karl Shapiro and Sarah Maguire – in one the pink camellias line the paths, in the other ‘hibiscus blooms burn, scarlet, cerise, tangerine’. The programme ends with Robert Frost’s ‘Stopping by woods on a snowy evening’ and Wayne Barlow’s rhapsody for oboe and strings inspired by Appalachian folk songs, ‘Winter’s Passed’.

MON 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00fr8gr)
Viola Lawrence Power and pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips
One of the foremost viola players, Laurence Power brings a spell-binding programme of music to Radio 3's 10th Anniversary Lunchtime Concert series, at the Wigmore Hall in London.
Schumann's Marchenbilder (Fairy Tales) creates a romantic world of fantasy and child-like imagination,and is one of the few 19th century works specifically written for viola. Shostakovich's Gadfly Suite, taken from his film score of 1955, includes the famous Romance, known to many as the theme to Reilly, Ace of Spies.
Laurence Power and pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips are also champions of the 20th century composer York Bowen, known as the English Rachmaninov. Bowen loved the dark autumnal tone of the viola, preferring it to the violin, and the sonata to be heard today is richly romantic and rhapsodic.

Petroc Trelawny introduces the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in a concert given at the Poole Arts Centre. The programme features Beethoven's Violin Concerto, a work premiered in 1806 and, with its first movement longer than most contemporary symphonies, one that took half a century to become established in the repertory.
This is followed by Shostakovich's Eleventh Symphony, an agitprop piece which drew its inspiration from a massacre of unarmed civilians during a peaceful demonstration in St Petersburg.

Dylan Thomas's The Art of Conversation
Matthew Sweet discusses the first ever production of Dylan Thomas's radio play The Art of Conversation. Found by Thomas's biographer Andrew Lycett among a sheaf of papers, the play is a short piece of wartime propaganda, taking as its theme the decline of conversation. It also features 'contributions' from the likes of Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley and Dr Johnson, frequently reminding listeners that 'careless talk costs lives'.
Matthew also reviews Julia, the film starring Tilda Swinton in which she plays an alcoholic, a role which is expected to gain her an Academy Award nomination. He explores Swinton's surprising trajectory from Derek Jarman muse to Hollywood high priestess.

WED 21:15 Night Waves (b00fs4sb)
Philip Dodd talks to one of France's best-known intellectuals, Bernard-Henri Levy. Philosopher, journalist and activist, Levy is dynamic, globe-trotting and prolific, and embodies all those qualities of the French philosophical elite that seems to divide listeners - especially in Britain - between inspiration approval and hostility. A media star in his home country and America, Levy became an overnight sensation in 1977 when he published his anti-Marxist essay Barbarism with a Human Face and become associated with the Nouvelle Philosophie (New Philosophy) movement. Since then, he has written dozens of books on subjects right across the intellectual and political spectrum. He has ignited controversy in recent years with his books on the murder of journalist Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, and his analysis of the US, American Vertigo. Philip talks to him about his new book Left in Dark Times and his views on our changing world. Plus a review of the new production of Stephen Sondheim's musical A Little Night Music.

Under the Influence
WN Herbert
Series in which contemporary poets discuss writers whose work has influenced their own.
WN Herbert explores the work of Edwin Morgan, still active at the age of 88 even after serious illness, and regarded as Scotland's national 'makar'. According to Herbert, Morgan is the poet who articulates most fully how variable Scottish poetry can be, and how distinct from English and Irish writing it is. With both Herbert and Morgan reading examples of their own work.

Highlights from the Free Thinking festival 2008
Matthew Sweet presents more highlights from the 2008 Free Thinking festival in Liverpool, including a talk by noted historian Paul Preston. Preston argues that Britain's sense of historical superiority has encouraged a misguided Euroscepticism. He traces the differences between the attitudes of Spain, Germany, France, Italy and the UK towards Europe, and their links to each country's view of its own national history.
Plus highlights from writer Mark Haddon's discussion of his latest work, recorded in front of an audience at BBC Radio Merseyside. In an event hosted by The Reader magazine, the award-winning author, best known for his book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, takes questions and reads from his new, as yet unpublished, novel.

Menna Elfyn
Series in which contemporary poets discuss writers whose work has influenced their own.
Menna Elfyn, considered the foremost living poet writing in Welsh, talks about the influence of T Gwynn Jones. He wrote in the strict metres of Welsh poetry, but also looked beyond Wales for inspiration - and an audience. Menna illustrates her essay with examples of the poetry of T Gwynn Jones and her own, in both English and Welsh.
