Tom Service and guests discuss a new biography of Tchaikovsky and Tom talks to composer George Benjamin, who celebrates his fiftieth birthday in 2010. Pianist Graham Johnson comes into the studio to talk about what makes Faure songs unique.
Lucie Skeaping introduces highlights of a concert by the ensemble Joglaresa, given at St George's Church in Kemptown as part of the 2009 Brighton Early Music Festival.
Having spent years living and studying in Morocco, Joglaresa's founder Belinda Sykes speaks about where her inspiration for this music comes from; there are performances of Judeo-Arabic dance songs, cantigas and laude sprituali, Berber rhythms and Moorish romanzas from Iberia's cultural diaspora.
Joglaresa has a sound that is at once both traditional and contemporary - combining elements of Spanish, Italian, North African and Middle Eastern music. With an array of exotic instruments, including oud, darabuka, bendir, harp and fidel, along with their searing vocals, the eight performers on the stage meld together a sound which can be both extrovert and intimate.
Trad. Sephardic from Morocco: La novia entre flores
Trad. Sephardic from Bosnia: Una matika de ruda
Trad. Moroccan Hebrew hymn: Adon haslichot

From the Metropolitan Opera, New York, Edo de Waart conducts Renee Fleming, Susan Graham and Christine Schafer in Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier.
The story centres on the Marschallin, who enjoys time with her young lover Octavian, but knows that she is getting older and that one day he will lose interest in her. Sure enough, when he is chosen to deliver the engagement silver rose from the Baron Ochs to Sophie, they fall instantly in love with each other. The Marschallin understands the situation and graciously lets Octavian go to his new love. Strauss's masterpiece contains comedy, pathos and some sumptuous female vocal writing.
Sara Mohr-Pietsch and Robert Worby introduce further highlights of the 2009 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, the UK's largest festival of new music.
Featuring two BBC Radio 3 commissions: the Ictus Ensemble in the UK premiere of The Leuven Triptych, by one of the festival's featured composer; and James Dillon and Quatour Diotima in the world premiere of Theme Street Parade by the Australian composer Matthew Shlomowitz.
Robert also drops in to hear Bill Thompson's Shifting Currents; there is music from another of the festival's featured composers as Noriko Kawai gives the UK premiere of piano music by Emmanuel Nunes; and Philip Thomas talks us through his week-long performance of a piece by Michael Pisaro which explores the number Pi.

Foxtrots
Charles Hazlewood and the BBC Concert Orchestra explore how the foxtrot of the dance halls of the 1920s and 40s had a creative impact on the imagination of 20th-century composers such as Maurice Ravel, John Adams and Peter Maxwell Davies.
The iconic sounds of the popular foxtrots, which reached mass audiences through the wind-up gramophone, through the dance halls and through radio, have become a useful vehicle with which some composers have chosen to present extra-musical and sometimes ironic references in their 'serious' music.
Charles briefly analyses the substance of the foxtrot and considers how Ravel used the dance in his opera L'enfant et les sortileges to evoke the spirit of his times; of how American composer John Adams uses the distinctive sounds of the dance played on a 78 rpm record, as the basis for short orchestral concert work The Chairman Dances; and of how Peter Maxwell Davies's recollection of the foxtrots of his childhood culminate in observations about political and moral responsibility in his St Thomas Wake for orchestra.

SUN 22:00 Sunday Feature (b00pl1pk)
In Search of the Gododdin
Poet Gwyneth Lewis explores the origins and meaning of the Gododdin, a sixth-century Welsh poem elegising the slain British warriors who made a last stand against the Saxons in the famous Battle of Catterick.
Fourteen centuries ago an elite band of three hundred warriors set out from Edinburgh and marched south to Catterick in Yorkshire to meet a force of 10,000 Saxons in a bloody pitched battle. At the end of a week of ferocious combat all but three of the 300 lay dead and, with them, the last hope of the Old North - the original Britons - against the Saxon invaders. But the battle left an enduring literary legacy: one of the three survivors, Aneirin, fled back to Edinburgh and composed the Gododdin, an epic poem to commemorate his fallen comrades.
Gwyneth follows the war band from the Edinburgh stronghold where they spent a year feasting and drinking mead to the landscape of northern England where they met their fate. As she travels she discovers new insights into contemporary Britain from a sixth-century poem written in Welsh about a group of warriors from Scotland who fought a battle in Yorkshire.

Prom 69: Mendelssohn, Mahler
Presented by Petroc Trelawny.
As part of Mendelssohn's bicentenary celebrations, Riccardo Chailly conducts the orchestra of which the composer himself was music director for the last 12 years of his life. Palestinian-Israeli pianist Saleem Abboud Ashkar is soloist in Mendelssohn's youthful First Concerto which he completed in just three days at the age of 22.
It is followed by Mahler's Tenth Symphony, which was was left unfinished at his death but was triumphantly premiered at the 1964 Proms in a 'performing version' prepared by musicologist Deryck Cooke and Berthold Goldschmidt. Written in the shadow of failing health and a collapsing marriage to his young wife Alma, Mahler scribbled notes in the margins of the manuscript. At one point he writes 'to live for you, to die for you', and over the tender, peaceful ending, when he seems to have come to some resolution, he writes just one word 'Almschi' - his nickname for his wife.

MON 21:15 Night Waves (b00pl1tw)
Eric Rohmer/Frank McGuinness/New Ice Age/Grand Palais/Gary Lachman
Following the news of the death of French film director Eric Rohmer, a key figure in post-war new wave cinema, Matthew Sweet talks to playwright and film-maker Neil LaBute and The Financial Times's film critic Nigel Andrews about Rohmer's career and his influence.
Matthew also talks to award-winning Irish playwright and poet Frank McGuinness about his new play Greta Garbo Came to Donegal. Greta Garbo really did visit Donegal in 1967, and McGuinness' play imagines how that meeting might have changed the lives of some of the people who came into contact with her.
As Britain experiences the icy chill of winter, Matthew discusses old predictions of a new ice age. In the 1970s, this was one of the most talked about of global issues - the climate cycles seemed to predict a sudden drastic cooling of the planet, bringing back to northern Europe an age of glaciers. Many popular books were written on the subject, and articles abounded in scholarly journals and newspapers. Science writers Brian Appleyard and Gabrielle Walker look back at the ice age predictions of the 70s, and consider the lessons we can learn about popular theories of science.
This week the Grand Palais will unveil its latest installation in the Nave - an huge exhibition space set up as Paris' answer to the Turbine Hall. Critic Sarah Kent looks at how new cultural icons - be they museums or monumental installations - are proving phenomenally successful at pulling in visitors who might not otherwise have visited an art gallery, and asks whether commissions for ever larger works are encouraging artists to think and work in new ways.
And with Gary Lachman, historian of the occult and former bassist in Blondie, Matthew looks at the dark side of the 1960s - was the 'love generation' rooted in occultism?

Spinoza
Part 1
Series focusing on the work of 17th-century Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza.
Professor Justin Champion, head of history at Royal Holloway, University of London, introduces Spinoza's work.
Spinoza was an iconoclast almost incomprehensible to devout contemporaries. His challenging work on religion resulted in his excommunication from Amsterdam, which set the scene for his career as an atheist. Despite his banishment, Spinoza lived out his short life in Holland, reviled by some but revered by other intellectuals across Europe.

Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998)
Episode 2
Donald Macleod presents a celebration of the music of the USSR's last great composer, Alfred Schnittke.
In the 1960s and 70s, Schnittke developed a unique style he termed 'polystylism' - the weaving of layer upon layer of subtle allusions, creating a world where everything has a hidden, suppressed meaning.
This technique perfectly captured life under the cosh of Soviet Communism, where messages were frequently disguised in layers of codes and doublespeak. Donald is joined by Alexander Ivashkin to present a selection of Schnittke's first polystylistic works, culminating in an extended excerpt from his astonishing First Symphony - a piece that takes the symphonic form to its very limit.
TUE 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00pl1wq)
Fiddlefest 2 ... with strings attached ...
Episode 1
Sean Rafferty introduces music from Fiddlefest 2 - an event celebrating music for the violin which takes place bi-annually in the city of Londonderry in Northern Ireland. The 2009 festival presents repertoire for violin and piano as well as music for string quartet and string octet. The venue is Christ Church, a free church which was consecrated in 1833 and built at the expense of Bishop Knox, who built the Church for the poor people who lived in the area.
Young violinist Alexandra Soumm, who was born in Russia but now divides her time between France and Austria, is joined by her regular recital partner Julien Quentin for a performance of Grieg's Violin Sonata No 3 in C minor. Grieg characterised all his violin sonatas: No 2 was 'the nationalistic' and No 3 'the one with the wider horizons'.
Young British quartet and winners of the first prize and audience prize at the fifth Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition in 2007, the Badke Quartet perform a quartet by Mendelssohn which was composed in 1827 while the composer was still a teenager and is based on a short song he had composed the previous year.

Barbara Ehrenreich
Anne McElvoy talks to American journalist Barbara Ehrenreich about her new book Smile and Die, which attacks what she believes to be her country's addiction to positive thinking and blind optimism. Taking examples from attitudes to serious illness, the success of motivation and happiness seminars and from politics itself, Ehrenreich tries to show that America's credo of positive thinking is undermining the country. And the peak of its damage, she claims, is the credit crunch itself, built on a rationality that brushed off all criticism of prosperity.

Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998)
Episode 3
Donald Macleod presents a celebration of the music of the USSR's last great composer, Alfred Schnittke.
In 1975, Shostakovich, the titanic figure of Soviet music, died. Schnittke inherited the mantle of the USSR's premier composer - one whose music encapsulated the absurdity, the banality and the struggle of life under the Soviet dictatorship.
Donald is joined again Russian music expert Alexander Ivashkin to explore three key works from the mid-1970s: his tragic Piano Quintet, written after the death of his mother; the plangent Four Hymns for instrumental ensemble; and the First Concerto grosso, described by the composer as featuring 'a joyful children's chorus, a nostalgic atonal serenade, a piece of 100 per cent guaranteed Corelli - made in the USSR - and finally my grandmother's favourite tango played by my great-grandmother on a harpsichord'.

Fiddlefest 2 ... with strings attached ...
Episode 2
Sean Rafferty introduces music from Fiddlefest 2 - a chamber music festival celebrating the violin and its repertoire, recorded at Christ Church in Londonderry.
Violinist Alexandra Soumm and pianist Julien Quentin open the programme with Prokofiev's Violin Sonata in D. It began life as a flute sonata but David Oistrakh thought it would make a good violin sonata and he managed to sell the idea to the composer. It is followed by Bartok's String Quartet No 1 performed by the Brodsky Quaret. The work was completed in 1909, when Bartok began his resarches into Hugarian folk music, but the quartet shows little influence of these studies until the finale.

Spinoza
Part 3
Series focusing on the work of 17th-century Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza.
Dr Adam Sutcliffe from King's College, London explores the background of 17th-century intellectual life in Amsterdam and Spinoza's part in the birth of the Enlightenment.
Amsterdam in the 17th century - like today - was a strikingly easy-going city. Spinoza's thought was shaped by the cultural diversity of the city of his birth and by the intense struggles over the relationship between politics and religion that raged there. The relative tolerance of Amsterdam enabled the highly creative fusions of Spinoza's philosophy; but his thought was spurred above all by his vigorous opposition to religious dogmatism and intolerance, both Jewish and Christian.

Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998)
Episode 4
Donald Macleod presents a celebration of the music of the USSR's last great composer, Alfred Schnittke.
As a new era of openness dawned in the Soviet Union in the 1980s, the West was finally able to meet this shy, brilliant composer in person. Yet - with tragic irony - just as Schnittke was at last able to enjoy the public acclaim he deserved, he was struck down by the first of a series of crippling strokes.
Donald is joined by Alexander Ivashkin, the composer's friend and biographer, to discuss Schnittke's life and works during this period. Featuring a complete performance of one of his greatest - and most terrifying - works: the disturbing Faust Cantata.

Tom Shakespeare
Free Thinking 2009
Matthew Sweet presents a talk given at The Sage Gateshead as part of Radio 3's Free Thinking festival, in which bioethicist and disability specialist Tom Shakespeare asks how art can help us understand today's difficult moral issues.
He believes that in many of today's contentious and emotional public debates - for example around disability, ante-natal screening or even the heated discussion of the right to die - there are often no clear answers. Neither science, nor social research, nor ethical reasoning can tell us what to do - much as we may wish for them to do so.
Instead, Tom argues it is not science, but rather art that can help us think through these modern dilemmas by making space for the emotion and complexity they need. He demands we think of art as a 'tool for thinking', explaining why as a scientist he believes we need to involve art in some of our most difficult social and ethical decisions - because it will help us in unexpected ways.

Spinoza
Part 4
Series focusing on the work of 17th-century Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza.
Prof Susan James from Birkbeck College, University of London, examines the reaction to Spinoza's defence of religious pluralism in his Theological Political Treatise. Raised in Amsterdam as a Sephardic Jew, Spinoza was immersed in what might nowadays be called a multi-faith community, and in the work he explores the relationship between religion, politics and philosophy. Despite the relative tolerance of Amsterdam at the time, Spinoza's treatise caused great outcry.

Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998)
Episode 5
Donald Macleod presents a celebration of the music of the USSR's last great composer, Alfred Schnittke.
Almost incapacited by a series of crippling strokes, Schnittke continued heroically to compose right until his death in 1998. Donald is joined for a final time by Schnittke's friend and biographer Alexander Ivashkin to discuss the composer's last work: his enigmatic Ninth Symphony, deciphered after his death from near-illegible scrawl by composer Alexander Raskatov.
Featuring excerpts from Schnittke's last film music - for an adaptation of Bulgakov's diabolical story The Master and Margarita - and his controversial opera, Life With An Idiot, a work that brutally sends up life in Communist USSR.

Fiddlefest 2 ... with strings attached ...
Episode 4
Sean Rafferty concludes a series of programmes from Fiddlefest 2, the chamber music festival recorded in 2009 at Christ Church, Londonderry in Northern Ireland. After performances of Mozart's Sonata in G, K301, and Schubert's Quartettsatz, the members of the Brodsky and Badke Quartets come together for the festival finale - a performance of Mendelssohn's Octet for strings. The work was written when the composer was only 16, and it remains the only significant masterpiece for string octet.

Holst's School Days
Petroc Trelawny visits St Paul's Girls School in Hammersmith, West London, where Holst taught music from 1905 until his retirement in 1934. In his music room overlooking Brook Green, the composer wrote some of his most famous works, including The Planets and Brook Green suites. The school still reveres its eccentric teacher as recent music students testify and one of Holst's own pupils, Margaret Eliot, recalls what Holst was like as a teacher and a man. And there is revealing archive from Holst's composer-colleagues and friends, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Herbert Howells, as well as from Holst's late daughter, Imogen.
FRI 19:55 Performance on 3 (b00pl6h1)
Walton, Holst
Part 2
Presented by Petroc Trelawny.
Concluding a concert from St David's Hall, Cardiff, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by David Atherton live performs Holst's classic work The Planets. It depicts the awe and mystery of the night sky, ranging from the menace of Mars and the serene sweetness of Venus through to the joyous vigour of Jupiter - music that is said to have made the cleaners working at the hall during its first rehearsal put down their brushes and dance.

FRI 23:00 The Essay (b00pl6ff)
Spinoza
Part 5
Series focusing on the work of 17th-century Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza.
Professor Justin Champion of Royal Holloway, University of London, considers how Spinoza's books made radical enlightenment possible. After being banished from Amsterdam, Spinoza made a living by working as a lens grinder and living a virtuous life. He continued his philosophy and it was published by financially astute publishers, often under misleading titles. Translations into French and English also spread the volumes to new audiences across Europe and he was an intellectual celebrity both revered and reviled.
Reader: Bruce Alexander.
