Gainsborough's Georgian England

Thomas Gainsborough had a deep love of music and many of his portraits include musical themes. He was himself a keen amateur player of the gamba and he had many musicians as friends, and feautured them as subjects for his portraits. Catherine Bott meets art historian and author of several books on the artist, Michael Rosenthal of Warwick University, for an exploration of what the Gainsborough portraits tell us about the role of music in the late 18th Century. The programme includes comment about Gainsborough's portraits of Karl Friedrich Abel; Johann Christian Bach; and the Linley family, as well as paintings of some notable amateurs from the English gentry such as William Wollaston and the redoubtable Anne Ford.

SAT 15:00 World Routes (b00j4htn)
Oliver Mtukudzi and Baaba Maal

Rita Ray presents music by two of Africa's leading stars, as the programme joins the African Soul Rebels tour at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall. Featuring music from the best-selling Zimbabwean singer Oliver Mtukudzi, and in a new acoustic line-up, the great Senegalese singer/guitarist Baaba Maal.

Oliver 'Tuku' Mtukudzi is one of the most respected singers and songwriters in southern Africa, as well as a successful artist in his home country of Zimbabwe. Since his first single in 1975 his music has chronicled years of struggle and civil war, urging tolerance and restraint.

Baaba Maal, most recently a key member of Damon Albarn's Africa Express project, is one of Senegal's leading musicians. Following the release of 2008's On the Road album, he joins the tour with a new acoustic line-up. As well as making music, he has been working as a Youth Emissary for the United Nations Development Programme, raising awareness of the disadvantages faced by people whose countries are ravaged by poverty, a lack of education and the threat of disease.

Stephen Montague

Ivan Hewett presents a new concert recording of the music of Stephen Montague by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and chats to the composer.

An American who has lived in Britain since the mid 1970s, Montague draws deeply on his transatlantic musical roots, from Charles Ives to John Cage. Yet he is also a musician who craves new experiences, from writing extensively for amateur musicians to composing for the unusual forces of klaxon horn soloist and an orchestra of automobiles. He is currently Professor of Composition at Trinity College of Music, London.

Music includes:

Stephen Montague: Intrada 1631 10:45
Stephen Montague: Concerto for piano and orchestra 31:19

Cesare Vecellio's Venetian Costumes

"Art and Early Music Month."Lucie Skeaping looks at the publishing sensation of the 1590s in Venice: Cesare Vecellio's guide to the dress and customs of the world, and she talks to the book's two translators, Margaret Rosenthal, Professor of Italian at the University of Southern California, and Ann Rosalind Jones, Professor of Comparative Literature at Smith College. The book is the first to depict world costume through history and in addition to the vivid illustrations, it includes a detailed and often amusing social commentary of the habits of people all over the world. Music in the programme includes Carnival music by Giovanni Croce, and works by both Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli.

Jane Asher

Michael Berkeley's guest is actress Jane Asher, who has been working in film, theatre, TV and radio since the age of five. Her many TV appearances include Brideshead Revisited, Holby City and most recently, as Sally in The Old Guys.

She is also a successful writer - having penned three novels as well as books on cake decorating - and also runs a company making party cakes. Jane has a musical background - her mother Margaret was a professor of oboe at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and in 2008 she took part in BBC2's Maestro conducting competition.

Jane's musical choices include three Mozart selections - the overture from Don Giovanni, the Lacrimosa from his Requiem and the last act of Marriage of Figaro. She also chooses a song from HMS Pinafore, the finale of Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony, the finale of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony performed by Daniel Barenboim's West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, plus Joan Sutherland singing Spargi d'amore pianto from Act 2 of Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor.

Art and Early Music Month

The Baroque Theatre of Cesky Krumlov

Lucie Skeaping visits the Baroque Theatre of Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic, where she is given a guided tour of the auditorium, backstage areas and museum by the theatre historian Iain Mackintosh. The theatre - part of Cesky Krumlov castle - was built in 1766 to celebrate the wedding of Prince Adam von Schwarzenburg, and is recognised as arguably the best-preserved example of baroque theatre spaces in Europe. The original trompe l'oeil painting throughout is quite breathtaking, and the detailed set designs, costumes and working machinery are remarkable. Music is taken from disc, and includes works by Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Rameau, Zach, Myslivecek, Tuma and Mozart.

First broadcast in March 2009.

Vivaldi's Gloria

Robert Hollingworth explores one of the most famous of all baroque choral works - Vivaldi's Gloria in D, RV 589 - often simply refered to as the Vivaldi Gloria, although the composer made more than one setting. Robert conducts the BBC Singers and St James' Baroque in excerpts and a complete performance of the work, which was given in the Maida Vale Studios in November 2008.

The programme also looks at a collaborative project called Gloria Revisited in which Tim Steiner guided nine A-level students from St Marylebone C of E Secondary School and The Greycoat School in Westminster in a series of workshops. The young composers each wrote a movement inspired by Vivaldi's Gloria.

SUN 18:30 Choir and Organ (b00j4j1d)
New Choirs Revisited

Presented by Aled Jones.

The programme's resident talent scout, choral director Peter Broadbent, returns with his pick of the most promising choral talent from a recent 'choir marketplace' event held in the French town of Saint-Lo.

Aled explores the choral legacy of American innovator and choral maverick Charles Ives, to coincide with the publication of a new volume of the composer's correspondence.

SUN 21:30 Sunday Feature (b00j4j1j)
From Ecstasy to Infinity

Mathematician Marcus du Sautoy explores the role of science and mathematics in the arts of the baroque. From Bernini's architecture and sculpture in Rome, the playful gardens at Versailles, to the grand dome of St Paul's Cathedral and the music of Monteverdi and Bach, he discovers that new ideas about perspective, capturing movement and the infinite all play a part in the baroque vision.

'The Baroque was always a style I'd associated with vulgarity and excess. But in this programme I’ve discovered how much control and structure underpins the spectacle of the baroque. The dramatic and sensational effects of the greatest baroque architects like Borromini and Bernini are founded on sound mathematical principles. Painters like Caravaggio and Rubens are battling with the same problems as Newton and Leibniz in their attempt to capture bodies in motion. And the extravagant sounds of Monteverdi and Bach would not be possible without the mathematical development of new ideas of temperament. It is my world of mathematics and science which allows the artist and musician to play with your emotions. Join me on my journey to the conversion of the delights of the baroque.' Marcus Du Sautoy

SUN 22:15 Words and Music (b00j15vn)
Sport

Elgar loved football, Debussy composed a tennis match, and Honegger wrote a musical game of rugby. Poet Laureates from William Wordsworth to Wole Soyinka and Gwyneth Lewis have all turned their pen to sporting passions. Sports crowds in return use music and song to raise their hopes and cheer on their flagging sporting heroes, from Sunderland FC, who come out to Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, to Liverpool FC's footballing anthem, 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.

Words and Music this week explores the world of sport. The original Greek Games had their origins in a poetic and musical tradition, and sport - the human endeavour, the triumphs and failures - continues to hold a fascination for writers and composers.

From the obvious sporting worlds of cricket and rugby to the more esoteric, like hang gliding and rock climbing, Ioan Meredith and Angela Wynter read poetry from Ian McMillan to Jean Binta Breeze, with music from Ives, Ravel and Holst, the New Zealand All Blacks and Liverpool FC's triumphant Kop.

Halle/Mark Elder

Presented by Martin Handley.

Mark Elder conducts the Halle Orchestra in symphonies by Haydn and Mendelssohn - composers whose birth and death overlapped by just a few months in 1809 - and a cantata by Berlioz.

Berlioz's account of Cleopatra's final hours was one of his infamous public failures - written as a competition entry for the Prix de Rome, his third of four attempts to gain recognition from the musical establishment.

Haydn's Symphony No 48, with its pomp and splendour, was a fitting piece to be performed in Esterhazy on the occasion of a visit from the Empress Maria Theresia, while Mendelssohn's Third Symphony, evoking the spirit of Scottish folk melodies, was inspired by the composer's visit to Scotland.

Sarah Connolly (mezzo-soprano)
Halle Orchestra
Mark Elder (conductor)

Haydn: Symphony No 48 in C (Maria Theresia)
Berlioz: La mort de Cleopatre

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00j5bd1)
Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848)

Episode 2

Donald Macleod explores Donizetti's life and work, focusing on the bane of the composer's Italian career - censorship. Lucrezia Borgia alarmed the censors with its five on-stage deaths and unflattering depiction of a pope's daughter. Maria Stuarda offended the King of Naples because it represented royalty in an unflattering light, with two queens on stage, one of them calling the other 'vile bastard'. Poliuto, passed as fit for public consumption by the censors, was nonetheless banned by the king because of its religious subject-matter. The effect was to drive Donizetti to abandon Naples for Paris.

Philharmonia/Esa-Pekka Salonen

Presented by Martin Handley.

Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra in works centring on the city of Vienna, from 1900 to 1935.

The programme features works by Schoenberg and Zemlinsky, who were were close friends: Schoenberg composed his seminal piece Verklarte Nacht in 1899 while on holiday with Zemlinsky and Zemlinsky's sister Mathilde, who became Schoenberg's first wife in 1906. Based on a series of love poems by the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, Zemlinsky's work was originally written for string sextet and he then arranged it for string orchestra some years later. Both pieces express the same sense of yearning common to much of the art of the time.

The Origins of Magic Books

Bidisha explores the origins of magic books, from Ancient Egypt and medieval sorcery up to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The first ever study to tell the complete history is about to be published by Owen Davies, a specialist in modern and contemporary magic. His book traces magical literature through Kabbalah, Scandinavian witchcraft and post-war German occultism. Bidisha and guests discuss how has it was possible for magic books to survive the scientific revolution, the Enlightenment and the industrial revolution. How important were they for upholding magical traditions?

Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848)

Episode 3

Donald Macleod explores Donizetti's life and work, focusing on how he took Paris by storm.

At Rossini's invitation, Donizetti previously had an opera staged at the Theatre-Italien, but his ambition was to storm that bastion of French culture, the Paris Opera, before retiring. In the event, Donizetti exceeded his goal, with productions running at all four major Parisian opera houses. It led a despairing Berlioz to complain of an 'invasion' of the city by the Italian composer.

Madame de Sade

Matthew Sweet sees Dame Judi Dench in an all-star production of the play Madame de Sade, about the mother-in-law and the wife of the infamous Marquis de Sade, written by Japanese writer Yukio Mishima.

Mishima is best known for having committed suicide after he led a failed right-wing coup d'etat in Japan in 1970. But this drama, written five years earlier, is possibly just as controversial.

It explores the lives of six women involved with the notorious de Sade - at the point in his life when he was imprisoned in the Bastille for his licentious actions. The play has rarely been performed in Britain and has been newly translated from Japanese for this production.

Matthew and guests assess the results.

Pasternak and Creativity

John Rowe reads Evening by Boris Pasternak - a prose poem about a young poet found among other unfinished jottings long after the writer's death and translated for the first time into English by Angela Livingstone, research professor at Essex University.

Written in Moscow in 1910, nearly 40 years before Doctor Zhivago, Evening bears the influences of the impressionist paintings of Pasternak's father as well as the Symbolist movement in Russian poetry. It centres on a poet named Reliquimini - Latin for 'you are left behind' - and is said to suggest compassion for the things of the inanimate world which are neglected.

THU 20:10 Performance on 3 (b00j6jcy)
Bruckner, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Dvorak

Thu 19th March 2009 - Part 2

Presented by Martin Handley.

The BBC Singers's concert from St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, concludes with Dvorak's setting of the Stabat mater - the Virgin Mary's sorrowful hymn to the body of her dead son. This was Dvorak's first religious work, begun in 1876 at a moment of intense personal tragedy after the death of his eldest daughter. Sadly, both of Dvorak's other two children also died while he was composing the Stabat mater, and it became a lament to his loss. Later re-cast with orchestral accompaniment, the performance is the UK premiere of Dvorak's original 1876 version for choir and piano.

THU 21:15 Night Waves (b00j5cjy)
Landmarks: Jules et Jim

In a Night Waves Landmark programme, Philip Dodd explores one of post-war France's iconic love films - Jules et Jim, with director Mike Leigh, film historian Ginette Vincendeau and novelist Michele Roberts.

The film was released in 1962, when the New Wave directors were at the height of their influence. It starred Jeanne Moreau as a capricious femme fatale who fell in love with two men - Jules and Jim, and chronicled their three-way relationship over the course of two decades. For many, it is the embodiment of French panache, with its romantic scenes, carefree sparkle and tragic edge.

It established Truffaut as a major cinematic presence and is regarded by many as his masterpiece. So what made Jules et Jim so revolutionary? And why do modern film-makers keep referring back to its images?

Episode 5

Donald Macleod explores Donizetti's life and work, focusing on his commission to write Linda di Chamonix, a new opera for the Karntnertor theatre in Vienna, as well as his appointment to a prestigious honorary position as court composer to the Austrian emperor Ferdinand I . Donizetti once quipped that this was 12,000 francs 'for doing nothing'.

The programme ends with a complete performance of the final act of Maria di Rohan, also written for Vienna, and considered to be one of the most tautly constructed of Donizetti's romantic melodramas.
