SAT 12:15 Music Matters (b00j8bvn)
Purcell Weekend - In Search of Purcell

Tom Service goes in search of Purcell, as BBC Radio 3 celebrates the 350th anniversary in 2009 of the English composer's birth. Experts, musicians and historians take him through a journey back in time, tracing what little is known about the composer, and what the latest research and findings suggest.

Looking at material recorded in different venues across London, where Purcell lived and died, the programme pieces together his life and work. Westminster Abbey reveals information about him as a youngster; the British Library sheds light onto both the man and the musician through his manuscripts and scores; and the National Portrait Gallery, with its Purcell iconography, tells us about the times through which he lived.

Esfahani plays a selection of these suites and other dance movements on an English bentside spinet made by Miles Hellon, based on an anonymous instrument dating from the 1690s.

SUN 00:00 The Early Music Show (b00j8d33)
Purcell Weekend - Catches and Glees

Lucie Skeaping visits the George Inn in Southwark to join a meeting of the Merrie Fellowes Catch Club. With club chairman Patrick Johns, she traces the rise and fall of the catch and the glee and their demise since the 18th century. After the publication of Thomas Ravenscroft's collection of songs, Pammelia, in 1609, the singing of rounds and catches became immensely popular.

One of the most famous composers to indulge in these often licentious verses was Henry Purcell, but there are also other composers represented in this programme, such as William Byrd, Henry Lawes, Lord Mornington, John Isham, Thomas Lant, Maurice Greene and Simon Webbe. But not all catches or glees were based on the age-old triumvirate of Wine, Women and Song - some are settings of religious texts, with attractive harmonies and gentle lilting rhythms.

Playlist:

Purcell Weekend - Emma Kirkby

Soprano and early music specialist Emma Kirkby presents a special edition of the programme to mark the BBC Radio 3's Purcell Weekend, with an eclectic selection of listeners' requests that show off Purcell's music for church, chamber, ceremonial and theatre.

Featuring Dido's Lament - in versions both familiar and unfamiliar, Purcell's instrumental works as represented by a Trio Sonata, two virtuoso Fantasias as well as the Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary. Plus arguably some of the finest vocal music ever written in the English language - from the Shakespearean song If Music Be the Food of Love to the great masterpieces Come Ye Sons of Art and the 1692 Ode for St Cecilia's Day.

There are also recordings by some of the world's leading Purcell and early music performers, including Andrew Parrott and The Taverner Consort, James Bowman, Catherine Bott, Alfred Deller, Les Arts Florissants and Emma herself.

The guest request is from another great Purcell specialist - Charles Medlam, a viola da gamba player in London Baroque.

SUN 20:00 Drama on 3 (b00j8dnd)
Alone Together

by Neil McKay.
Poet, priest, birdwatcher, scourge of the English, the ogre of Wales ... Who was R.S. Thomas, and why did his artist wife Elsi settle for a life of obscurity in increasingly remote Welsh parishes? A portrait of a curious marriage which captures that essence of all marriages - a sense of shared space but separate lives.

Thomas was an unpublished poet when he met Elsi Eldridge, but she already had the makings of a successful artist. After winning the Royal College of Art's Prix de Rome scholarship and selling several paintings at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, she abandoned this to retreat with him to a small cottage in a remote part of North Wales.

RS Thomas ..... Jonathan Pryce
Elsi Eldridge ..... Kate Fahy
Gwydion ..... Ian Puleston-Davies
Mrs Hackett ..... Kathryn Hunt
Colonel Pugh, Dilwyn ..... Dick Bradnum

Music by Peter Gregson.
Directed and Produced by Melanie Harris.

SUN 21:30 Sunday Feature (b00j8dpk)
Sorochintsy Fair

To coincide with the 200th anniversary of the birth of Nikolai Gogol, Hardeep Singh Kohli examines the writer's life and work. He travels to his place of birth in the east of Kiev, and talks to Alistair Beaton, the translator of Gogol's only play, and to the deputy director of the Gogol house and museum.

SUN 22:15 Words and Music (b00j8dpm)
Years of Wonders

Juliet Stevenson and Kenneth Cranham read prose and poetry describing the momentous times that the composer Henry Purcell would have witnessed. He was a baby at the the time of Charles II's Restoration to the throne, but would have known the Great Plague and Great Fire of London. In adulthood, he would have seen both the accession and the forced abdication of James II in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 as well as the coronation of James's daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange.

Readings include excerpts from Pepys, Evelyn, Dryden, Aphra Behn and Defoe, while the music includes Purcell and his contemporaries alongside works from the 20th century.

SUN 23:30 Jazz Line-Up (b00j8dpp)

Reinhold Gliere (1875-1956)

Episode 1

Donald Macleod is joined by Russian music expert Gerard McBurney to explore Gliere's life and work, from his beginnings in Kiev to his later prominent position in Moscow as both composer and teacher.

The focus is on the early part of Gliere's life in Kiev, including a look at his elusive ancestry, his formative musical years and his studies at the Moscow Conservatory. We hear part of one of his earliest works, his String Quartet No 1, Op 2, which is in complete contrast to his Russian Sailors Dance from the ballet The Red Poppy, which was not only the first truly Soviet work composed for the stage, but one which brought Gliere national popularity.

Donald also discusses the Concerto for harp and orchestra, composed during the dark build-up to the Second World War, yet offering a sunny and positive outlook.

Skampa Quartet/Schubert String Quartet in G

Presented by Verity Sharp.

The Skampa Quartet mark 20 years performing together with a recital from London's Wigmore Hall of Schubert's last quartet, written in 1826 at roughly the same time Beethoven was writing his late quartets. While some of Beethoven's quartets were performed in his lifetime, this work was not performed until Schubert had been dead for over 20 years, showing perhaps the standing of each composer in Vienna at the time.

LPO/Eschenbach in Brahms and Dvorak

Catherine Bott presents a concert given at London's Royal Festival Hall by the London Philharmonic under conductor Christoph Eschenbach.

The programme features music written by two composer friends - Brahms, who agonised over every note he wrote and took 21 years to complete his First Symphony, and Dvorak, whom Brahms envied for his ability to produce infectious melodies with apparent ease. Young soloist Daniel Mueller-Schott performs Dvorak's Cello Concerto with an interpretation that has received positive reviews on both sides of the Atlantic.

Tyson grew up in New York amid crime and violence, but after being spotted by the famous boxing coach Cus D'Amato he went on to become arguably the most feared fighter of his generation. But after his trainer's death, his career spiralled into shame and disgrace, culminating in his biting off a chunk of an opponent's ear.

MON 23:00 The Essay (b00j8f1c)
Work-Life Balance

Episode 1

We talk now of a 'work/life balance', as though 'work' is something quite separate from 'life' and the meaning of both is self-evident. How have we arrived at such a way of thinking? It's hard to find answers because, while there is endless newspaper coverage of the issue, no history of the work/life balance exists. Especially for The Essay, Professor Hugh Cunningham explores the place that work has played in British lives from proto-industrialism in the C18th to post-industrialism in the C21st through five vivid chronological snapshots. Each tells the story of a particular period while shedding new light on a contemporary juggling act that causes great stress to many if not most people in our society

Throughout the series Hugh Cunningham returns to two themes: the impact of contemporary consumerism on our working lives and the difference between the work/leisure balance of the past - when the work-force was mainly male- and the so-called work/life balance of today - with women most taking the strain.

In Episode One, Hugh Cunningham looks at the transition from the so-called "leisure preference" of the 18th century, when many people worked only long enough to provide themselves with their basic needs and otherwise opted for leisure, to the the long hours we associate with everyday life during the Industrial Revolution.

Episode 2

Donald Macleod is joined by Russian music expert Gerard McBurney to explore Gliere's life and work, from his beginnings in Kiev to his later prominent position in Moscow as both composer and teacher.

They chart Gliere's early teaching career, including his work at the newly formed Gnesin school and his influence as Prokofiev's first successful music tutor. During the early part of the 20th century, Gliere composed much vocal music, and within the programme there are contrasting works for voice, including Human Tears for mezzo-soprano and piano, and the composer's most unusual concerto - for coloratura soprano and orchestra. These are followed by the Sextet, Op 11, demonstrating Gliere's longstanding passion for string instruments.

TUE 23:00 The Essay (b00j8wlg)
Work-Life Balance

Episode 2

We talk now of a 'work/life balance', as though 'work' is something quite separate from 'life' and the meaning of both is self-evident. How have we arrived at such a way of thinking? It's hard to find answers because, while there is endless newspaper coverage of the issue, no history of the work/life balance exists. Especially for The Essay, Professor Hugh Cunningham explores the place that work has played in British lives from proto-industrialism in the C18th to post-industrialism in the C21st through five vivid chronological snapshots. Each tells the story of a particular period while shedding new light on a contemporary juggling act that causes great stress to many if not most people in our society

Throughout the series Hugh Cunningham returns to two themes: the impact of contemporary consumerism on our working lives and the difference between the work/leisure balance of the past - when the work-force was mainly male- and the so-called work/life balance of today - with women most taking the strain.

In Episode Two, Hugh Cunningham looks at the battle - long fought but ultimately won - for leisure during the industrial revolution.

Episode 3

Donald Macleod is joined by Russian music expert Gerard McBurney to explore Gliere's life and work, from his beginnings in Kiev to his later prominent position in Moscow as both composer and teacher.

They focus on Gliere's short-lived career as a conductor, studying in Berlin. From a recording made in 1949, we hear Gliere conducting part of his Second Symphony, which was hailed by critics as 'vivid and fresh' and a significant step forward in the composer's symphonic evolution. There are also two unusual works for wind: Song, Op 35 No 3 - for oboe and piano, and the Concerto for Horn and Orchestra inspired by Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto.

Llyr Williams (piano)

Llyr Williams first worked with Shenyang in 2007, when Llyr accompanied Shenyang through the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition. Shenyang went on to be crowned overall champion.

Shenyang created this programme as a special tribute to one of his greatest musical heroes: Hans Hotter, the legendary German bass-baritone. Shenyang says "I never met Hans Hotter but, even so, I learned a lot from him. He had a very special style of singing which you don't find today."

Hagen Quartet and Mitsuko Uchida

Catherine Bott presents a concert given at Wigmore Hall, London, by the Hagen String Quartet who, in the 20 years they have been together, have built a reputation for refined and spirited performances. The programme includes works ranging from Mozart's Viennese classicism through to Bartok's folk-inspired modernism. The group is joined by Mitsuko Uchida, considered one of the most engaging and collaborative pianists of our time, for Brahms's Piano Quintet.

WED 21:15 Night Waves (b00j8wr1)
James Lovelock

In an extended conversation, Philip Dodd talks to pioneering scientist James Lovelock - originator of the concept of Gaia - about his remarkable life and the future of our planet.

Lovelock's life in science has spanned some of the most advanced changes of the 20th century. He worked for Nasa on the Mars projects at one of its most exciting periods in the 1960s and it was during this time he developed his famous Gaia Hypothesis - now Gaia Theory - that the Earth functions as a living, self-regulating super-organism.

But the man and his theory continue to divide scientists and environmentalists. Despite everything that he has done for raising the danger of global warming, Lovelock restates his view that much of the Green movement lags far behind science. Environmentalists, in turn, are hostile to his support for nuclear power as an interim solution to the world's energy problems.

Philip asks Lovelock why he has spent so much of his life as an independent scientist, living and working at his rural home in Cornwall, and asks him to stand by his prediction that much of humanity could perish as a result of global warming by the end of this century.

WED 23:00 The Essay (b00j8wr3)
Work-Life Balance

Episode 3

We talk now of a 'work/life balance', as though 'work' is something quite separate from 'life' and the meaning of both is self-evident. How have we arrived at such a way of thinking? It's hard to find answers because, while there is endless newspaper coverage of the issue, no history of the work/life balance exists. Especially for The Essay, Professor Hugh Cunningham explores the place that work has played in British lives from proto-industrialism in the C18th to post-industrialism in the C21st through five vivid chronological snapshots. Each tells the story of a particular period while shedding new light on a contemporary juggling act that causes great stress to many if not most people in our society

Throughout the series Hugh Cunningham returns to two themes: the impact of contemporary consumerism on our working lives and the difference between the work/leisure balance of the past - when the work-force was mainly male - and the so-called work/life balance of today - with women most taking the strain.

In Episode Three, Hugh Cunningham tells the story of how the burgeoning Leisure Class spent their time in Victorian Britain, while the Middle Class so-called "brain workers" began to experience a level of stress in their lives with which many of us can identify today

Episode 4

Donald Macleod is joined by Russian music expert Gerard McBurney to explore Gliere's life and work, from his beginnings in Kiev to his later prominent position in Moscow as both composer and teacher.

They survey Gliere's developing role within the Soviet regime, including his being sent to the Republic of Azerbaijan to help in the 'Soviet development' of its musical culture. The outcome of this visit was his opera Shakh-Senem, a lavish four-act epic full of Azerbaijani tunes. His compositional interest in orientalism is also heard in Song of the East, Op 28 No 2, for soprano and piano.

The programme concludes with part of Gliere's Symphony No 3 (Ilya Muromets) - a mammoth work in an extravagant late-Romantic style, including quadruple woodwind. It was not only hailed by the Soviet state for the preservation of traditional folk music, but championed in the West by the conductor Leopold Stokowski, bringing the composer international status.

Wayne McGregor

Anne McElvoy talks to award-winning choreographer, dancer, director and designer Wayne McGregor as he prepares to open his productions of Handel's Acis and Galatea and Purcell's Dido and Aeneas at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. In this much-anticipated double-bill, both productions unite the performing companies at Covent Garden, with dancers from the Royal Ballet performing alongside aritsts from the Royal Opera, including singing stars Sarah Connolly and Danielle de Niese. McGregor discusses combining the disciplines of opera and dance, the challenges of bringing contemporary aesthetics to traditional ballet and about the continuing power of the music of arguably two of the greatest composers ever to work in London.

THU 23:00 The Essay (b00j8x8q)
Work-Life Balance

Episode 4

We talk now of a 'work/life balance', as though 'work' is something quite separate from 'life' and the meaning of both is self-evident. How have we arrived at such a way of thinking? It's hard to find answers because, while there is endless newspaper coverage of the issue, no history of the work/life balance exists. Especially for The Essay, Professor Hugh Cunningham explores the place that work has played in British lives from proto-industrialism in the C18th to post-industrialism in the C21st through five vivid chronological snapshots. Each tells the story of a particular period while shedding new light on a contemporary juggling act that causes great stress to many if not most people in our society

Throughout the series Hugh Cunningham returns to two themes: the impact of contemporary consumerism on our working lives and the difference between the work/leisure balance of the past - when the work-force was mainly male- and the so-called work/life balance of today - with women most taking the strain.

Those of us who take real pleasure and pride in our work are the lucy ones. In Episode Four Hugh Cunningham tells the story of great Victorians such as William Morris and Karl Marx who fought to improve the quality of the working lives of all Britons.

Episode 5

Donald Macleod is joined by Russian music expert Gerard McBurney to explore Gliere's life and work, from his beginnings in Kiev to his later prominent position in Moscow as both composer and teacher.

The programme charts the end of Gliere's life, from his patriotic music composed during the Second World War - including Holiday at Ferghana - to his influence as both a composer and teacher.

There are also two contrasting concertos, including one for cello, which when first premiered was quite a scandalous affair. It was later performed again, and became the first work to be dedicated to the great cellist Rostropovich. These are followed by Gliere's unfinished Violin Concerto, which was completed by one of his students.

London Mozart Players Gala Extravaganza

Presented by Catherine Bott.

The London Mozart Players celebrate their sixtieth birthday with their Gala Extravaganza, held at Fairfield, Croydon. Founded in 1949 by violinist and conductor Harry Blech, the group has established a reputation for high quality performances not only of Mozart and his contemporaries but also the music of today.

The concert features works by Mozart as well as later romantic composers - Mendelssohn and Rossini - and also includes a Shostakovich symphony. The orchestra is joined by soloists who have had long associations with it - soprano Felicity Lott sings Mozart, violinist Isabelle van Keulen and pianist/conductor Howard Shelley.

We talk now of a 'work/life balance', as though 'work' is something quite separate from 'life' and the meaning of both is self-evident. How have we arrived at such a way of thinking? It's hard to find answers because, while there is endless newspaper coverage of the issue, no history of the work/life balance exists.

In Episode five, Hugh Cunningham argues that men have largely won their historic battle for a balance between work and leisure but that the oddly-named balance between work and life has still to be won by most women.
