Today our Artists of the Week, the Nash Ensemble, play Beethoven's genial Septet. The Nash have an international reputation as a chamber ensemble, and yet they are loved for many different things: for commissioning and performing challenging new scores by leading composers; for unearthing obscure but deserving works by less-well known composers, and for giving peerless performances of the classics. And today's offering is firmly in that last category.
Wohl euch, ihr auserwahlten Seelen (O ewiges Feuer, o Ursprung der Liebe, BWV34)
Granados was drawn to the work of Goya at a time when Spain was searching its past for great figures, and struggling to redefine herself in the wake of military defeats. The fifth of Goya's Caprichos inspired the opening movement of Granados' masterpiece, the piano cycle Goyescas. The composer himself sketched the subject of the second movement, in which a man and woman are having a private conversation through a screen - the real-life inspiration behind this piece may have been Clotilde Godo, with whom Granados was having an intense affair.
In the second of this week's Lunchtime Concerts from the "Transfigured Night" series at The Venue in Leeds, the Schubert Ensemble continues the Viennese theme with music by Mozart and Schubert. They perform Schubert's tour-de-force Piano Trio in E flat, and Mozart's lively "Kegelstatt" Trio which features Emma Johnson on the clarinet.
Today's Afternoon on 3 begins with a live broadcast from St Paul's, Knightsbridge, of music for Passiontide performed by the BBC Singers, conducted by Peter Phillips.
Each of the three traditional Tenebrae services is represented with music from a different master of Renaissance polyphony. These darkly meditative Lamentations are heard alongside Antonio Lotti's well-known setting of the Crucifixus text.
Louise Fryer then continues her focus on the music of Anton Bruckner and composers closely associated with him, including a performance of a work by his pupil Franz Schmidt.

Piccard in Space - the world premiere of WIll Gregory's spectacular balloon operatic adventure.
Will Gregory's debut opera, written to a libretto by Hattie Naylor, is a classic adventure about the brilliant physicist, Auguste Piccard. On a mission to prove Einstein's Theory of Relativity, he takes to the skies with his assistant in an airtight capsule. Travelling to a record-breaking 51,000 feet, they survive being roasted by the sun, toxic balls of mercury and crashing into the Alps. Clearly not a blackboard and chalk type of scientist, Piccard became world front-page news in 1931 and the inspiration for Hergé's cartoon character Professor Calculus in The Adventures of Tintin series.
Philip Dodd talks to theatre impresario Cameron Mackintosh about his new musical Betty Blue Eyes and the role of the musical in British theatre life.
Andrew Dickson joins Philip to review a new production of Monteverdi’s baroque opera, The Coronation of Poppea. With a libretto by Mark Ravenhill and a new song by Michael Nyman, how well does it translate to the small stage of London’s King’s Head Pub?
Philip talks to science writer James Gleick about his new book about the information age – what’s the difference between information and meaning?
And there’s discussion of Tate Modern’s retrospective of the Surrealist painter Joan Miró – from his roots in Catalonia and the Spanish Civil War to his great abstract paintings of the late 1960s and early 1970s with Brad Lochore

THU 12:00 Composer of the Week (b0106vt9)
Enrique Granados (1867-1916)
Love and Death
Granados' opera Goyescas, based closely on the piano cycle, was premiered in New York in 1916, and won him a warm reception there. The closing scene of the opera was inspired by Goya's Capricho El amor y la muerte, Love and Death, depicting a woman holding a dying man in her arms, which proved to be a premonition of his own death: as Granados and his wife made the journey home by sea, their ship, the Sussex, was torpedoed in the English Channel. A friend witnessed their tragic deaths: 'He embraced his wife, and they disappeared forever beneath the waves. In the panic and confusion, no one thought to or was able to help them.' Donald Macleod explores the genesis of Granados' opera, which proved to be both the climax and the conclusion of his career.

THU 14:00 Afternoon Concert (b0106vtf)
Thursday Opera Matinee
Massenet - Don Quixote
Regarded by many as the first true novel ever written, Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes was published in two parts early in the 1600s. The first opera based on the book appeared later that same century, and Henry Purcell wrote some incidental music to accompany a dramatic version of the story. Later there were more operas, several ballets and Richard Strauss's tone poem (which was included in Afternoon on 3 earlier this week - available via listen again until 19 April).
Massenet's operatic version, Don Quichotte, while not having found its way into the repertoire with his most popular operas, is musically one of his most attractive works. It's unashamedly melodic and evokes a strong sense of locale - one of Massenet's most notable skills. He called his opera a "heroic comedy": an appropriate description, as he creates a tone that acknowledges both the humor of the situation and the nobility of the Don's character. The opera was first staged in Monte Carlo in 1910.
Louise Fryer introduces this opera in 5 short acts. Act 1 sees Don Quixote and his sidekick Sancho Panza introduced to Dulcinea, and the Don immediately falls in love with her. Don Quixote then practises a serenade for his new love in Act 2, before mounting an attack on group of windmills which he thinks are giants! In Act 3 the Don is captured by bandits, who later take pity on the old man, moved by his "final" prayer. The action of Act 4 returns to Dulcinea's house where Don Quixote proposes to his love and is affectionately refused. In the final act he realises that his death is near - accompanied by a vision of Dulcinea.
In this production of the opera at the Monnaie Theatre in Brussels, the company's chorus and orchestra are joined by leading soloists including native Belgian bass-baritone Jose Van Dam (Don Quixote) and mezzo-soprano Silvia Tro Santafe (Dulcinea), under the baton of Marc Minkowski.

Paul Lewis plays late Schubert
Presented by Martin Handley
Paul Lewis launches his two year Schubert piano music odyssey at Wigmore Hall
One of the highlights of the Wigmore Hall's 110th anniversary season will be the start of a prodigious two-year Schubert cycle from the much loved pianist Paul Lewis.
The series will encompass all of Schubert's piano works as well as his three great song cycles in which Lewis will be partnered by Mark Padmore.
Paul Lewis and Mark Padmore's recent disc of Schubert's Winterreise was featured by Gramophone Magazine as 'Editor's Choice Disc of the Month', in which the late John Steane wrote:
'... the listener must wait, out of respect to this marvellous partnership of Mark Padmore and Paul Lewis, until time can be taken for it alone and uninterrupted, to accompany them on the journey through to its unearthly end'.
This Schubert cycle begins with the Piano Sonata in C D840, nicknamed 'Reliquie' as it was thought erroneously to be Schubert's last work when it is was published posthumously in 1861 (it was in fact written in 1825), the Piano Sonata in D D850, also composed in 1825, and the Drei Klavierstücke D946, written just six months before Schubert's life was tragically cut short.

Lucy Worsley discusses her new history of the home, If Walls Could Talk, revealing the bedroom secrets of the Georgians, and the bathroom habits of the Edwardians.
And on the eve of the London Marathon, Anne looks at our fascination with running as far as we can, with Matthew Parris, who holds the paliamentary marathon record, and Robin Harvie, who has written a book called Why We Run and is about to do the double marathon.

In June Martha Argerich celebrates her 70th birthday. Today we feature her blistering and intense performance of Chopin's "Funeral March" Sonata. She shot to fame when she won the International Chopin Competition in 1965, and since then her aversion to the press and publicity has meant she has led a very private life.

FRI 19:00 Performance on 3 (b0106wyq)
Presented by Martin Handley, live from St David's Hall, Cardiff.
The BBC National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales, conducted by Thierry Fischer, performs Berlioz's epoch making Romeo et Juliette.
A rare Parisian performance of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet with Harriet Smithson as Juliet shook the young Berlioz to the core of his being. He didn't rest until he had married Harriet and set the play to music. The result is this great symphony, full of fantasy, orchestral wizardry and wild unbridled romance. It is one of Berlioz's most extravagant works and one which had a profound effect on composers from Wagner, Tchaikosvy and Mahler. Even today, any performance is still an event.
Berlioz: Romeo et Juliette
Susan Bickley: Mezzo Soprano
Jean-Paul Fouchecourt: Tenor
Jonathan Lemalu: Bass
