SAT 22:00 The Wire (b00yhq6l)
One Night in Iran
A real time radio drama.
A man and a woman meet in a hotel room. They have been in love for five years but have never yet spent a night together. Tonight they meet alone for the first time. But this is Iran, and what the couple are doing is illegal. If they are caught, or even suspected, the consequences might be too terrible to contemplate.
He reveals that he received a phone call from the Secret Service that morning inviting him in for an interview the following day - but with no indication as to why he has been asked in. In Iran it could be about anything - a casual remark made to a colleague, an error at work, a denouncement from a neighbour, or questioning about adultery...
As the light fades and night sets in, the couple must decide what really matters.
Writer Oliver Emanuel became interested in this story in 2006 when he read an article in The Guardian by an anonymous Iranian woman. Oliver writes:
"I was moved by her conviction that love could surpass any obstacle. Fear of persecution or even prosecution was nothing in the face of this woman's passion. In telling this story I want to explore the personal behind the political, letting the intimate setting of a hotel room explode the dangerous world beyond."
Oliver Emanuel was short-listed for a Radio Drama Sony 2010 for his 30-minute two-hander Daniel and Mary (BBC Radio Scotland).
Other work includes: Children in Need: Everything, BBC Radio 4 andThe Vanishing by Tim Krabbe, BBC Radio 4. He has been Writer-in-Residence for BBC Radio 4/Children in Need and Writer-on-Attachment at the West Yorkshire Playhouse.

She has worked at the Royal National Theatre and the RSC with directors such as Di Trevis, Peter Gill and Simon Usher.
She is particularly interested in film music, and her choices include parts of Mozart's Requiem from the soundtrack of the film 'Amadeus', the Prelude to Bernard Herrmann's score for Hitchcock's 'Psycho', and music from John Williams' score for 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', for which her mother led the orchestra. Her other choices include Maria Callas singing 'Depuis le jour' from Charpentier's opera 'Louise'; Dido's Lament from Purcell's 'Dido and Aeneas', sung by Janet Baker, cellist Yo Yo Ma accompanied by Bobby McFerrin's astonishing vocals in 'Ave Maria', and Stevie Wonder's 'If It's Magic'.

Fretwork Weekend
The World Encompassed
As part of the Early Music Show's "Fretwork Weekend", Catherine Bott traces Sir Francis Drake's heroic circumnavigation of the Globe through a mixture of new and old music written and compiled by Orlando Gough and performed on viols by Fretwork.
"The World Encompassed" was commissioned by Fretwork, inspired by the knowledge that Drake had with him on board his ship, The Golden Hind, his own consort of viols, who would play for prayers and for entertainment. Fascinated by the diverse range of cultures and the different kinds of music that Drake would have witnessed, Fretwork invited composer Orlando Gough to blend a mixture of period viol pieces alongside new music that would evoke the period and the places and the adventures that Drake and his crew were known to have encountered. The result is a large scale piece called "The World Encompassed"; a depiction of Drake's voyage in music for viols. The programme features highlights from the piece.
Catherine Bott talks to Orlando Gough about the work, and about some of the colourful events from Drake's voyage. The music was recorded at a live concert given by Fretwork as part of the 2010 York Early Music Festival, from the Gallery of Harewood House. As well as items by Gough, "The World Encompassed" includes 16th Century music by John Taverner, Robert Parsons, Luys Milan, Orlando Mudarra and Christopher Tye.

Stephen Johnson is joined by the Danel Quartet & David Fanning to explore the nuances found in a hidden gem of the chamber music repertoire - the Piano Quintet by Sergei Taneyev. Sometimes referred to as "the Russian Brahms", Taneyev was a pupil of Tchaikovsky at the Moscow Conservatoire, and in turn taught younger composers such as Scriabin, Gliere, Rachmaninoff and Medtner. He was a fine pianist himself, and was the soloist in the premieres of all of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concertos.
This Piano Quintet in G minor was written towards the end of Taneyev's life, in 1911 and ranks among the finest examples of Russian Romantic chamber music.

Danton's Death
Launching Radio 3's week-long focus on Buchner, Georg Buchner's radical retelling of the fallout of the French Revolution adapted by Simon Scardifield.
It's 1794, and a new France is being born from the reign of terror that characterised the worst of the Revolution. Charismatic hedonist Danton, still tormented by his role in the killing of 1400 aristocrats in a single night, is losing his grip on power, and he is so tired. His political rival, the sober and focused Robespierre, is in the ascendant, and - with his efficient sidekick St Just - has power now over Danton's fate. But can Danton care enough to fight the terror that he himself set in motion?

NOTES
Georg Buchner died in 1837 at the age of 23, by which time he had had only one play published, and none produced. His small legacy of work, remaining unproduced for nearly sixty years after his death, has come to represent some of the most exciting and radical theatre writing in the European Theatre canon. This production is partnered with a special 'Sunday Feature' and a new Woyzeck for Drama on 3 on 20 February.
SUN 21:30 Sunday Feature (b00yhrdn)
The World Is Out of Order! - The Life, Work and Legacy of Georg Buchner
Peter Thompson investigates the life of Georg Buchner and the importance today of the revolutionary dramatist.
Georg Buchner was only 23 when he died of typhus in Zurich in 1837. By then he had a reputation as a biological scientist. He had also been a revolutionary, calling on workers to overthrow the ruling aristocrats. He had to flee the state to escape arrest and his picture appeared on wanted posters.
He returned to his family, promising to concentrate on his studies, but in five weeks he wrote 'Danton's Death', hiding the script under scientific notes whenever anyone came in. This is now widely regarded (by the dramatist Howard Brenton, for instance) as the greatest play about revolution.
When he died he left, unfinished, 'Woyzeck', the first play in which the central character is working class. He also wrote a novella, 'Lenz', the first to delineate a schizophrenic breakdown. This marks the beginning of modern German prose literature. Yet, when he died, and for most of the 19th century, Buchner was unknown as a writer.
In 'The World is Out of Order!' Peter Thompson, the expert on German literature, culture and politics who teaches at Sheffield University, investigates the circumstances of Buchner's life and the society in which he lived. He hears from scholars such as Professor Susanne Kord of University College, London and Professor Karen Leeder of Oxford University about his importance to German letters and thought, and from Howard Brenton, whose version of 'Danton's Death' was recently produced by the National Theatre. Werner Herzog has filmed it, Alban Berg has made it into opera and the Icelandic director Gisli Orn Gardasson reinvented it in the theatre. And he reveals why Buchner's art speaks so eloquently and urgently to us today.
Producer: Julian May.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00yhrk3)
Mily Alexeyevich Balakirev (1837-1910)
Episode 1
He was described by Tchaikovsky as a "saintly prig" - hugely influential, obstinate, and argumentative, Mily Balakirev saw himself as the 'Father of Russian Music', inheriting the mantle direct from his idol Glinka, whilst also being the pivotal figure at the centre of The Mighty Handful.
He was the first significant Russian musician to engage in collecting folksongs, as he was keen to develop an authentic kind of Russian music. These traditional musical forms would filter into his own works such as Tamara, creating exotic and oriental sounds that would be emulated by other composers. His overtures based on folk song would also become a blueprint for future generations. Although Balakirev would later quarrel with all members of The Mighty Handful, not least of all due to his overbearing personality, if he hadn't encouraged Mussorgsky, Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov to pursue composition, they all might have followed very different careers.
In the first episode exploring the life and music of Mily Balakirev, Donald Macleod looks at the composer's early years. He was born in Nizhy-Novgorod, but a well-off patron would soon take Balakirev under his wing, and with Ulybyshev's influence including a library stocked full of musical scores, Balakirev would eventually have the opportunity of meeting his musical hero Glinka, in St Petersburg.
Balakirev would present a number of his early works to Glinka, including his one movement Octet opus 3, and a piano work based on Glinka's opera A Life for the Tsar. The piano would always be a huge influence on Balakirev, and his Piano Concerto no.1 demonstrates many of the earlier influences from composers he probably studied or heard at Ulybyshev's house.

Bournemouth SO - Prokofiev, Mozart, Shchedrin and Beethoven
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
Kirill Karabits conducts the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in a concert of two works from the classical period and two Russian works from the 20th century inspired by classical composers. Shchedrin composed his Heiligenstadt Testament in response to a letter Beethoven wrote to his brothers in a mood of utter misery and despair as he struggled to accept his advancing deafness was incurable and would inevitably worsen. Written in the small village of Heiligenstadt in1802 as he worked on his Second Symphony the letter was never sent and was only found after Beethoven's death. Prokofiev's First Symphony used the classical symphonies of Haydn and Mozart as it's model but with an added twist of spiky modernity. Mozart himself was so happy with tonight's Piano Concerto he taught his pet starling to sing the opening bars of the final movement. Recorded at the Lighthouse, Poole last week

Humphrey Bogart, Watercolour, Mark Henderson, Utopia
Actor Humphrey Bogart was recently ranked Greatest Male Star in cinema history by the American Film Institute. Matthew Sweet is joined by Stefan Kanfer, the author of a new Bogart biography Tough Without a Gun and former script supervisor Angela Allen who knew and worked with the star, to discuss Bogart's extraoridnary career.
Art critic Jackie Wullschlager reviews Tate Britain's new Watercolour exhibition, which aims to reassess the history of watercolour painting in Britain, from its emergence in the Middle Ages through to the present day. Works by a range of artists from Blake and Turner, through to Patrick Heron, and Tracey Emin seek to challenge the association of watercolour with traditional representations of landscapes and picturesque scenes.
In 2003 Mark Henderson was one of eight backpackers taken hostage by left wing rebels while trekking in the Colombian jungle. He was held captive for three months. Almost a year after his release, Mark received an email from one of his kidnappers; a five year correspondence followed, culminating in Mark returning to Colombia to meet his former captor. A new Channel 4 documentary My Kidnapper tells Mark Henderson's incredible story. He talks to Matthew about the extraordinary journey that led him back to the scene of his kidnap, and the complexity of his feelings towards the man who once deprived him of his freedom.
The idea of Utopia has fascinated thinkers across the ages. The search for an ideal society has permeated everything from art and architecture to political thought. Matthew discusses the history of this powerful idea with Gregory Claeys, author of new book: Searching for Utopia and cultural historian Matthew Beaumont.
Producer: Georgia Mann.

The Team Photo
Stella Rimington
Most people, at some point in their life, will have been a willing or reluctant member of a team. Whether it was a college year, an army regiment, a business team, a cricket match, am dram theatricals, the pub quiz or the Girl Guides, group photos are our souvenirs - fond or grim reminders of a previous way of life and the people who shared it. In this series, five writers take out a team photograph from their past and take a forensic and philosophical look at the shared strangeness of a moment preserved.
Stella Rimington considers a photograph commemorating a cricket match between the Ladies team from the British High Commission and the Ladies of the Roshanara Club in Delhi, 1966.
Stella Rimington lived in India between 1965 and 1969, having travelled out there with her husband John Rimington, when he was appointed First Secretary (Economic) for the British High Commission in Delhi. She joined the Security Service (MI5) in 1965 and was appointed Director-General in 1992. She was the first woman to hold the post and the first Director-General whose name was publicly announced on appointment. Following her retirement from MI5 in 1996, she became a non-executive director of Marks and Spencer and published her autobiography, Open Secret (Arrow 2002). Her first novel, At Risk, was published in 2004.
Produced by Emma Harding.

Episode 2
A "saintly prig" he was described as - hugely influential, obstinate, and argumentative, Mily Balakirev saw himself as the 'Father of Russian Music', inheriting the mantle direct from his idol Glinka, whilst also being the pivotal figure at the centre of The Mighty Handful.
Balakirev made a name for himself in St Petersburg not only as a composer, but also as a concert pianist with works such as his Grand Fantasy on Russian Folksongs. However, he felt 'forced to perform in public', even in the presence of the Tsar and members of the Imperial family, and wished to pursue his musical career in composition.
Before Glinka died, he had virtually anointed Balakirev as his musical heir, to uphold the Russian national style. Balakirev became interested in collecting folk music, in order to develop an authentic kind of Russian music, such as his Overture on Three Russian Themes. His overtures based on folk music would become blueprints for future generations of composers, and Balakirev had already started to collect around him an orbiting system of satellite talents including Mussorgsky - a group later to be known as The Mighty Handful.

Mahler's songs are heartfelt settings of poems that deal with the anguish and resignation at the death of a child and Dvorak's 7th is perhaps his greatest symphony and is an outpouring of his love and hopes for his Czech homeland.

Mily Alexeyevich Balakirev (1837-1910)
Episode 3
A "saintly prig" he was described as - hugely influential, obstinate, and argumentative, Mily Balakirev saw himself as the 'Father of Russian Music', inheriting the mantle direct from his idol Glinka, whilst also being the pivotal figure at the centre of The Mighty Handful.
Balakirev was now mixing in the top musical circles in St Petersburg, but he never forgot his former idol Glinka. He continued to transcribe a number of works by Glinka, including a romance which he renamed The Skylark for piano. Glinka's sister invited Balakirev to go to Prague, to oversee the performance of some of her late brother's works. When Balakirev was abroad he came across some Czech folksongs, and subsequently composed an Overture on Czech Themes, renamed as In Bohemia.
There was distrust of the academic approach to musical education by Balakirev, supported by his acolytes Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and Borodin, and there ensued a public mudslinging episode against Rubinstein, then director of the Conservatoire. This escalated into anti-Semitism. Balakirev was a fiery patriot, and still keen to develop an authentic Russian musical style through collecting folksongs, such as his Song of Georgia.
It was during this period of the 1860's that Balakirev would compose his most famous work, Islamey. Originally for the piano, it's one of the most difficult works in the piano repertoire.

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra - Haydn, Brahms
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
Donald Runnicles conducts two great works united in their contemplation of mortality: Haydn's 'Mourning' Symphony is one of his finest, and although the story that he asked for its slow movement to be played at his funeral is probably apocryphal, there's no doubt that the movement is one of his most profound creations. Brahms composed his German Requiem while mourning the passing of his beloved mother and still grieving for his friend Robert Schumann. The sincerity and serenity of its setting of texts from the German Bible has ensured its place as one of the best loved masterpieces in the choral repertoire.

Siddhartha Mukherjee, Edna O'Brien, Brutalism, South Riding
Philip Dodd discusses the history of cancer with physician Siddhartha Mukherjee, the author of a new book on the disease which has afflicted humanity for more than five thousand years.
The Irish writer Edna O'Brien will be talking to Philip Dodd about her new book of short stories, 'Saints and Sinners'. Described by Philip Roth as 'the most gifted woman writing fiction in English' O'Brien's first book, 'The Country Girls', published in 1960, was banned in Ireland and copies burnt - with the blessing of the author's own mother.
To its admirers Brutalism produced beautiful monuments to idealism. To its critics it left us with a landscape of concrete carbuncles. Today, as modernist buildings from Birmingham to Moscow are threatened with demolition, it seems that the critics have won the day. But has Brutalism suffered from a bad press?
Andrew Davies, the screenwriter responsible for adaptations of Middlemarch, Bleak House, Fanny Hill and many others now turns his attention to Winifred Holtby's 'South Riding' in a new three part series for the BBC. Holtby's final novel, published posthumously in 1936, explored the world of local government. Holtby described that world as 'the first line defence thrown up by the community against our common enemies - poverty, sickness, ignorance, isolation.and social maladjustment'. So was it the forerunner of David Cameron's vision of the Big Society?
Producer: Fiona McLean.

Episode 4
A "saintly prig" he was described as - hugely influential, obstinate, and argumentative, Mily Balakirev saw himself as the 'Father of Russian Music', inheriting the mantle direct from his idol Glinka, whilst also being the pivotal figure at the centre of The Mighty Handful.
Balakirev, now at the height of his career, was invited to conduct the Russian Music Society. His first act was to invite Berlioz to Russia to conduct some of the concerts. Balakirev assisted Berlioz with the chorus, which would influence Balakirev's knowledge of writing for choirs, in hymns such as Let all mortal flesh keep silence.
Late 1860's, the tide was turning, and Balakirev's popularity was on the wane. He'd antagonised a powerful adversary in the person of the Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna, and he soon found himself out of work and looking for employment on the railways. It was during this time that Balakirev turned to religion, with burning lamps flickering in front of icons in every room of his home. Balakirev would later compose a number of religious anthems, including The Prophets, inspired by Heaven.
By the late 1870's, Balakirev was emerging from depression, having not composed anything for a good ten year period. He was now starting to look at old works and revising them, including completing a number of other compositions he'd started, such as his first Symphony influenced by Russian Church chant.

Philharmonia - Bartok, Stravinsky
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
The Philharmonia are joined by the Gulbenkian Chorus from Lisbon to continue their focus on the major works of Bela Bartók with the second concert in their series called 'Infernal Dance'. Cantata profana is a truly monumental choral work based on a Romanian ballad sung at the time of the winter solstice, it tells the story of nine sons who are turned into stags when they cross a haunted bridge. In contrast with this rich tapestry of choral sound, the Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is sparse and eerie and is music driven by rhythm rather than melody. The concert ends with one of the seminal works of the 20th Century, Stravinsky's ballet The Rite of Spring, a work which had a major influence on Bartók's compositional style. Recorded last week at the Royal Festival Hall in London.

Mily Alexeyevich Balakirev (1837-1910)
Episode 5
A "saintly prig" he was described as - hugely influential, obstinate, and argumentative, Mily Balakirev saw himself as the 'Father of Russian Music', inheriting the mantle direct from his idol Glinka, whilst also being the pivotal figure at the centre of The Mighty Handful.
Balakirev had regained some of his previous influence over musical life in St Petersburg, now back at the helm of the Free School of Music, and also invited to be the Director of Music for the Imperial Chapel. It was during this time that he completed his symphonic masterpiece, Tamara, which he dedicated to Liszt.
His popularity was never to be what it once was, and although still very influential, there were new people on the scene such as the millionaire Mitrofan Belyaev, who Balakirev would see as his rival. Loyalty always mattered to Balakirev, whereas former protégé Rimsky-Korsakov now showed him little respect. Balakirev would always remain true to his heroes though, like Glinka and Chopin, and he composed an Impromptu based on two Chopin preludes.
In the final years of Balakirev's life, he would spend much of his time writing new piano works, and also revising and completing other compositions. One work his publisher urged him to complete was his second piano concerto. Balakirev would often play this work to friends, but it was left to his loyal follower Lyapunov, to write down and orchestrate the final movement.

Live from Bridgewater Hall in Manchester
Elgar, Saint-Saens
Live from Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, presented by Petroc Trelawny
Southern sunshine permeates a northern winter evening as composers look southwards for inspiration and warmth. Elgar's In the South takes its subtitle 'Alassio' from the name of the Italian town where he and his family escaped the winter of 1903-4. For Saint-Saëns Egypt was a favourite destination, hence the nickname of his final piano concerto, which he wrote in Luxor. Walton's Second Symphony, written on the Mediterranean island of Ischia where he'd settled, was mostly written off as hopelessly conservative back in 1960 when he composed it, but today it is recognised not only as one as of Walton's masterpieces but as one of the greatest symphonies of the 20th century.

FRI 19:50 Twenty Minutes (b00yhv7b)
The Pleasure of Noise
A symphony orchestra can be as loud as a road drill. Although they sound as loud as each other, the noise they make can have a very different effect on the listener. The sound of a full symphony orchestra can be a visceral thrill, a physical pleasure.
Trevor Cox, Professor of Acoustic Engineering at Salford University, speaks to members of the BBC Philharmonic about making loud music - not just the sound but the thrill of playing in the orchestra. Does the excitement of creating loud music cause purely physical pleasure or is something more subtle at work?
Trevor also speaks to a rock fan and a hip hop fan about the loud music they enjoy; does it need to be constantly loud for them to derive pleasure from it?

FRI 21:15 The Verb (b00yhv89)
Catherine O'Flynn, Steve Spence, Philip Jeays, Iain Crichton Smith
Ian McMillan takes to the air with Radio 3's celebration of the best writing around. This week, the writer Catherine O'Flynn reads a brand new Verb commission. 'The Navigator' is a non-fiction meditation on sat nav and the sneaking feeling that the commanding voice issuing from the device may not always have our best interests at heart. And, Steve Spence performs extraordinary cut-up prose poems about fishing, recipes and meteorology from his new collection Limits of Control.
English Chanteur Philip Jeays performs a new song in the style of Georges Brassens and poet Richard Price is our guide to the life and work of Scottish poet Iain Crichton Smith, whose collected poems have just been published. Born in 1928, he wrote in both Gaelic and English and during his long career Crichton Smith produced twenty-seven volumes of poetry, fourteen novels, twelve short story collections as well as plays.
Producers: Erin Riley and Dymphna Flynn.
