Continuing our series on Alessandro Scarlatti, Donald Macleod focuses on the composer's first period in Naples, where he influenced the course of Neapolitan Opera.
As opera became less popular in Rome due to Papal decree, Alessandro Scarlatti soon moved to Naples to pursue his career for the stage. Donald Macleod surveys this period in Naples, where Scarlatti composed around 70 operas. We'll hear Le violette from Pirro e Demetrio, which had an international success.
Although Scarlatti greatly influenced the course of opera in Naples, he still relied upon other work to survive, including his appointment as the Maestro of the Royal Chapel. He composed over sixty cantatas during this period, frequently for the entertainment of Cardinals Ottoboni and Pamphili in Rome. We'll hear the cantata Gia lusingato appieno, linked in narrative to James II of England.
Louise Fryer introduces the first of four recitals from Belfast featuring the Ulster Hall piano. Today, French pianist Jean-Philippe Collard performs Schumann's Papillons, Chopin's Nocturne op.27 No. 2, Ravel's Pavane pour une infante défunte and Schumann's Waldscenen.
Louise Fryer presents a week of performances by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and their Chief Conductor Jiri Belohlavek, who returned from their Far East tour just a few days ago. Alongside concerts they gave in China and Japan, you can hear - equally hot off the press - their brand-new cycle of all five Beethoven piano concertos with soloist Paul Lewis, who'll also be playing them all at the 2010 Proms. Plus another complete cycle - all six of Martinu's symphonies that Jiri Belohlavek has been conducting with the BBC Symphony Orchestra this season.
Today there's a feast of concertos for various instruments, with star clarinettist Sabine Meyer playing Mozart in Beijing and Japanese violinist Mayuko Kamio taking Sibelius to Tokyo, alongside Beethoven's third piano concerto from Paul Lewis - all in a Martinu symphony sandwich.
Martinu: Symphony no. 2
Beethoven: Piano Concerto no. 3 in C minor, Op. 37

Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610: Claudio Cavina directs La Venexiana, from the Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music.
This year Monteverdi's Vespers celebrates its 400th anniversary. An iconic masterwork of the early Baroque, this collection of exquisitely written psalms and other sacred pieces is a showcase for the very best vocal-music techniques of its day, placing sumptuous plainchant-based polyphony alongside solo motets demonstrating the latest styles of sensual vocal melody. After bringing a brilliant Orfeo to the Lufthansa Festival in 2007, the multi-award-winning Italian vocal-and-instrumental ensemble La Venexiana returns under its director Claudio Cavina to open this year's Festival.
Louise Bourgeois, Christopher Hitchens, Cultural Attitudes to Skin, The Late Middle Classes
Anne McElvoy and guests explore the life and work of Louise Bourgeois, one of the 20th Century's greatest sculptors, whose death was announced today.
Anne is joined by polemicist Christopher Hitchens, who over the last three decades has become one of the world's leading public intellectuals. His confessional and provocative memoir 'Hitch-22' covers his 1960's student rebellion, his outspoken support for the war in Iraq and intimate revelations about his friendship with Martin Amis.
From Michelle Obama's "nude" dress to society's increasing obsession with age-defying wrinkle creams and Botox, from body art to religious veiling, a new exhibition at the Wellcome Collection focuses on our largest organ - skin. Literary critic Steve Connor and anthropologist Kit Davis discuss the exhibition and our cultural attitudes to skin.
And we have a first night review of a new production of Simon Gray's play The Late Middle Classes.
Matt Peacock is the originator of Streetwise, the community opera project for the homeless set up in 2002. A classically trained singer, he reflects on the way opera has changed the lives of people he's met during the past ten years.
Whilst Matt certainly doesn't claim that Streetwise has solved the problems of homelessness, he speaks with passion about how opera is for everyone. He argues that the teamwork necessary in opera is a perfect way of engaging the 600 homeless people around the UK who undertake the weekly opera projects. If you can't sing a solo, you can join in the chorus. If you don't want to sing, you can make props or help with costumes. The massive scale of an opera means that, for his team, there's a role for everyone and a reason to turn up every week.
Over the years, his opera company have received warm reviews for their performances. And the somewhat surprising success of using opera as a means of support and rehabilitation of homeless people is now being tried in other countries.
Fiona Talkington introduces tracks from the Punch Brothers new album as well as musical prayers from Aruna Sairam, Ryuichi Sakomoto and Gavin Bryars.
The programme also delves into the operatic world with music from A Flowering Tree by John Adams.

Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725)
Episode 3
As part of our series on Alessandro Scarlatti, Donald Macleod focuses upon the composer's return to Rome, as necessitated by finances and politics.
With late payments from the Royal Chapel in Naples, Alessandro Scarlatti soon realised he'd need to relocate in order to survive. Donald Macleod follows Scarlatti's return to Rome via Florence, but not before King Philip V of Spain's visit to Naples. Scarlatti, along with other composers such as Corelli, was required to compose music for this important occasion. We'll hear the Sinfonia from Scarlatti's serenata Clori, Dorino e Amore, which captivated the Spanish King.
Once back in Rome, Scarlatti was soon tied down contractually to a number of churches. This was not the sort of work that he wanted to do, and he began to receive complaints for neglecting his duties. Opera however was banned during this period in Rome. Papal opposition to theatrical activity meant that the most important artistic event in the calendar was the oratorios for Lent. To end the programme we'll hear the second half of Scarlatti's Oratorio per la Passione di Nostro Signore Gesù Cristo. This oratorio is considered to be one of his best in this field, maybe even a rival to Handel's La Resurrezione.

Handel's scintillating Easter oratorio La Resurrezione is a product of his youthful years in Italy, an intensely creative period for him when he forged the style that would serve him for the next 40 years. Like many before and after, he also discovered that Italy could teach him all he needed to know about singing and singers.

WED 23:00 The Essay (b00skc19)
A Passion for Opera
Robert Thicknesse
Robert Thicknesse still sees and writes about opera and he still believes that at its heart there is an argument that can be made for it as an artform. However the old love which he lavished on it in his youth and as a young critic has gone.
He talks about the demons that have nagged at him over the years, the sheer opulence of the operatic world, the claims of broad appeal which he believes are false, the disproportionate funding, the excuses for modernity and above all the festival audiences who are there unashamedly for the event rather than the performance.
Is this really the greatest of all the artforms? Isn't it more honest to admit that it's a pastime of the rich and, other than a flirtation with mass appeal in 19th century Italy, that's how it has always been?
But Robert also tries to explain why he keeps coming back to opera, given that it isn't to be seen in all the right places and to be seen, most importantly, to be rich.
WED 23:15 Late Junction (b00skc1m)

Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725)
Episode 4
Donald Macleod continues our series, focusing upon Alessandro Scarlatti's disillusionment with Rome, and his opera failures for the Venetian Carnival season in 1707.
Feeling confined by Papal decree in Rome, Alessandro Scarlatti continued to seek commissions elsewhere. Donald Macleod follows Scarlatti's journey to Venice for the Carnival season in 1707. Scarlatti - in trying to impress the opera capital of the time - seems to have over-complicated his compositions, and the Venetian audience was not impressed.
Scarlatti eventually returned to Naples having been offered a post by the newly appointed Austrian Viceroy. He didn't sever links with Rome, for he was made a Knight of the Golden Spur by the Pope in 1716. It was during this latter part of his life that Scarlatti focused more on instrumental writing. We'll hear a set of 39 variations for harpsichord, on the theme La Folia, similar in form to Bach's Goldberg Variations. Scarlatti didn't stop writing for the Church, and the programme ends with the latter part of his Stabat Mater. This hymn to the virgin was very popular - until Pergolesi's version came along.

Cavalli: La Calisto
Cavalli: La Calisto
Last month the Theatre des Champs-Elysees in Paris staged Cavalli's opera, first seen in Venice in 1651. Jupiter (Giove), king of the gods, comes to earth to clear up after a war but is immediately distracted by the beautiful but chaste nymph Calisto, who's devoted to the service of the goddess Diana. Then Mercury has the bright idea that Jupiter disguise himself as Diana...

Landmarks: The Silent World
In a Night Waves Landmark Matthew Sweet and his guests explore Jacques Cousteau's revolutionary documentary 'The Silent World', one of the first ever films to use underwater cinematography. It launched Cousteau on his rise to international fame, and the career of his young co-director, Louis Malle. The film was shot aboard the ship Calypso and made over two years in the Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. 'When you dive you begin to feel that you're an angel' wrote Cousteau about the experiences which won the film an Academy Award and the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1956. Matthew Sweet is joined by film-makers and natural world specialists to discuss how this ground-breaking work shaped the boom in nature documentaries on film and TV which has followed in the decades since.

A Passion for Opera
Ashutosh Khandekar
Ashutosh Khandekar - Editor of Opera Now magazine - recounts his entry into the opera world via student opera. Ash realised he was never good enough to be a professional opera singer, but it didn't stop him taking part as student. Born in Bombay, he discovered opera whilst a student at Oxford, fell in love with it and the seed was sown. He's spent the past 15 years watching practically every new production not only in this continent but around the globe including places where you would least expect to find opera, such as Hanoi, Istanbul and Ulan Bator.
Producer: Sarah Taylor.

Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725)
Episode 5
In our final programme on Alessandro Scarlatti, Donald Macleod surveys the composer's decline into poverty, and evaluates his reputation as the founder of Neapolitan Opera.
Donald Macleod surveys Alessandro Scarlatti's final years and his reputation as the founder of Neapolitan Opera. During this time a new movement was beginning in the world of opera: opera buffa. We'll hear Scarlatti's own attempt at the new style, with an aria from Il Trionfo dell'Onore.
Towards the end of his life, Scarlatti also taught more pupils out of financial necessity. During one of these lessons he stated that he'd never liked wind instruments, because they never stay in tune. Despite that, Alessandro did compose a number of works for wind instruments, and we'll hear his Concerto in F major for 3 Flutes.
Scarlatti's greatest love may have been opera, but he was mainly employed as the maestro di cappella to a number of royal courts and churches and made a significant impact upon the world of oratorio, cantatas, and sacred music. To end this final episode we'll hear the latter part of his Mass for St Cecilia's Day, composed five years before his death for one of his Roman patrons.

Louise Fryer presents a week of performances by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and their Chief Conductor Jiri Belohlavek, who returned from their Far East tour just a few days ago. Alongside concerts they gave in China and Japan, you can hear - equally hot off the press - their brand-new cycle of all five Beethoven piano concertos with soloist Paul Lewis, who'll also be playing them all at the 2010 Proms. Plus another complete cycle - all six of Martinu's symphonies that Jiri Belohlavek has been conducting with the BBC Symphony Orchestra this season.
To round off the week today, the grandest of Beethoven's piano concertos, the fifth, joins a fifth symphony from Prokofiev - performed in Beijing - and both the fifth and sixth of Martinu's symphonies.

CBSO, Nelsons
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
Andris Nelsons conducts the CBSO in Tchaikovsky's Voyevoda and Pathétique Symphony; Rainer Gibbons is soloist in Strauss' elegiac Oboe Concerto.
The symphonic ballad The Voyevoda is one of Tchaikovsky's least-known works, perhaps because the composer himself tended to under-rate it. But in the Pathétique Symphony, he threw his all into this no-holds-barred musical autobiography; the result is a symphony that blends raw emotion and glorious melody to devastating effect.
Between these two pieces by Tchaikovsky, the CBSO's section leader oboe offers a moment of tranquility with Strauss's gentle concerto.
Tchaikovsky: The Voyevoda
Strauss: Oboe Concerto

FRI 23:00 The Essay (b00skcbl)
A Passion for Opera
Michael Chance
Counter Tenor Michael Chance is one of Britain's great opera stars. But it's an unofficial title that has come at a cost. While Germany is full of opera houses with permanent ensembles where singers can get to know each other and work together on a series of different productions, Michael is a permanent guest. He's had to get used to living out of a suitcase, settling in to a lodging house or hotel room for a month and bonding with a new cast, a new director and new conductor, only to be off and away the moment the production is up and running.
These are the confessions of the long distance opera singer.
The benefits have been a chance to see the world's stages and work with some of the greats. The down-side is that the whole business of teamwork, of developing together, of celebrating together is very limited.
And of course there's the family. The pull between work and home is constant and doesn't get any easier over time.
FRI 23:15 World on 3 (b00sllvv)
Lopa Kothari
Lopa Kothari with new releases from across the globe, plus a studio session with Paris-based singer-songwriter Hindi Zahra.
Born in Morocco, Hindi Zahra writes songs which reflect the many styles of music she heard as a child - her Berber heritage, the Algerian 'chabi' of Cheikha Rimitti, music of the desert bluesmen of the Sahara, the soulful singing of Aretha Franklin, and the gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt. She moved to Paris as a young girl, got a job at the Louvre, and began writing gentle, artful songs, last year delighting the audience with her performance on BBC Radio 3's stage at WOMAD.
