In a programme from 2012, Suzy Klein interviews conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt, who died on Saturday. One of the great musical figures of 20th and 21st Centuries, renowned as a pioneer in the world of conducting, Harnoncourt was a key player in the development of the 'period performance' of classical, baroque and early music, in particular the music of JS Bach. In more recent years he broadened his repertoire to include sometimes surprising composers like George Gershwin. The scale of Harnoncourt's influence has secured him a place in musical history. He is rarely heard in interview.
Giovanni Battista Guarini's Il Pastor Fido was one of the most famous plays of the 17th Century and 300 years ago London saw the premiere of Handel's Opera based on Guarini's text. However, Handel was far from the first to use this play as inspiration for his music. Il Pastor Fido had already sparked the imaginations of numerous composers. Catherine Bott explores the play and some of it's musical offsprings, including music by Monterverdi, Schütz and and Sigismondo d'India.
Handel's "Il Pastor Fido" is one of the featured works at this year's London Handel Festival which runs from 15th March to 24th April.
Beethoven: String Quartet in A minor Op. 132
Violinist Daniel Hope has given his two programmes for Saturday Classics the subtitle, a "Fiddler's Tale". In these programmes he offers a selection of recordings that reflect his life in music so far; and also which follow the story of his priceless violin - the wonderful 1742 Guarneri del Gesu, known as the "Ex-Lipinski".
The first programme offers music charting his musical life including perfomances on disc by the great Pinchas Zukerman whom Daniel heard perform in London at the age of five, and who inspired him to take up the violin. There are performances by his mentor and teacher Yehudi Menuhin and music from his adopted home city of Vienna. His choice of music also includes the original 1950s line up of the celebrated Beaux Arts Trio, with whom Daniel has also performed; and a recording from his violin hero David Oistrakh.
Geoffrey Smith presents a selection of listeners' jazz requests. Email jazz.record.requests@bbc.co.uk.
Tonight's Live From the Met is Verdi's La Traviata. Consumptive courtesan Violetta Valery vows to give up her party life and settle down when she falls in love with Alfredo.

Natalie Dessay makes her Met role debut as the doomed courtesan who sacrifices her own happiness, and Matthew Polenzani her lover.
The young Finnish string quartet Meta4 - former members of the BBC New Generation Artists scheme - perform two Romantic works: Faure's Quartet in E minor, Op.121, and Schumann's Quartet in A major, Op.41 No.3. Presented by Louise Fryer.
Tom Service presents a performance of young British composer Luke Bedford's 2011 chamber opera "Seven Angels". Commissioned and given its premiere by Birmingham Contemporary Music Group and The Opera Group, it tells the story of seven angels who have fallen through space and time for so long, they have forgotten why. Coming to rest on a desert landscape, they imagine the creation of a legendary garden that once flourished there and its destruction from greed and neglect. Bedford's first opera, it has a libretto by the poet Glyn Maxwell, and was inspired by Milton's Paradise Lost.
Tom is joined by tenor Christopher Lemmings, the BCMG's artistic director Stephen Newbould and composer Luke Bedford to discuss the opera, and it is preceded by Luke's 2006 piece Or Voit Tout En Aventure..
Seven Angels was commissioned and produced by The Opera Group and Birmingham Contemporary Music Group and co-produced with ROH2 and Tramway Glasgow.

Keith Grant
Michael Berkeley welcomes the artist Keith Grant, one of the finest living landscape painters. Born in Liverpool, he studied at the Royal College of Art, where he came under the influence of neo-romantic painters such as Paul Nash and Graham Sutherland. He developed a particular enthusiasm for the landscape of the North, visiting Scotland, Iceland, and Norway, where he now lives with his Norwegian wife and their daughter. In the 1980s and 90s he also travelled widely, to French Guiana, Cameroon, Israel and Venezuela, as well as Arctic Greenland. His work exhibits resonant images of nature from the Northern Lights to the waterfalls of Sourth America. But it is in the austere beauty of the North, he says, that 'I sense the value of my life'. His luminous paintings, which are represented in many public collections, combine both abstract and figurative concerns, expressed through the imagery of night skies, icebergs, mountains, birch trees, the sea and the distant horizon.
Keith Grant has chosen a variety of music to complement his artistic vision, ranging from the opening of Wagner's Das Rheingold, though works by Nordheim, Sibelius, John McLeod and Rautavaara, to more familiar musical landscapes by Vaughan Williams (The Lark Ascending and On Wenlock Edge), as well as Britten's Elegy from the Serenade for tenor, horn and strings.

Presented by Catherine Bott
The Pacifica Quartet in the first of two concerts of Shostakovich's late String Quartets recorded at London's Wigmore Hall last month. Written in the late 1960s and early 70s during the deadening greyness of the Brezhnev years, these quartets are at turns dark and heartfelt, they contain some of Shostakovich's most intimate and inner music. The Pacifica Quartet has gained rave reviews for its complete Shotakovich cycle in the United States where they are based, and for its performances of the early quartets at Wigmore Hall last year. Today you can hear them perform the 11th, 12th and 13th quartets and next Sunday the 14th and 15th to round off the cycle.

To Listen Well
ETA Hoffmann summarised the business of music criticism very neatly by saying it existed 'to lead people to listen well'. Hilary Finch, who has been a classical music critic on The Times for thirty years, considers the craft, purpose and future of her own profession at a time when the 'death of the critic' has been proclaimed.
The Times was the first newspaper to appoint a regular music critic, but with a combination of changes in the arts, in newspapers and in social media, she considers whether it might be the last.
Hilary talks with fellow critics Hugh Canning, Anna Picard and Paul Morley, the Radio 3 presenter and twitterer Tom Service, and people from other corners of the music industry - the soprano Elizabeth Watts, the chief executive of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, and media relations expert Ginny Macbeth.

Vaclav Havel - Largo Desolato
Theatre critic Michael Billington introduces a classic play from the archives by Czech playwright and President, Vaclav Havel, to mark Havel's death in December last year.
When the death of the former President of the Czech Republic Vaclav Havel was announced last year, Europe lost one of its great dissident voices. From the 1960s to the 1980s, BBC radio broadcast many new productions of Havel's plays - plays that were usually banned in his then-Communist homeland because of the way they mocked and interrogated the absurd nature of totalitarian rule.
Michael Billington, theatre-critic for the Guardian for much of this period, introduces another chance to hear a 1987 Havel black comedy called Largo Desolato in an English version by Tom Stoppard, himself born in Czechoslovakia.
Richard Briers stars as Leopold, a philosopher who has offended the authorities in an unnamed country. He has written a certain philosophical essay and anxiously each day awaits the knock on the door. His friends, of course, expect him to act like a hero....

Monday - Rob Cowan
Rob Cowan's guest this week is the novelist Alan Hollinghurst, whose latest book, The Stranger's Child, was longlisted for the 2011 Man Booker Prize. A fine stylist, Hollinghurst won the 2004 Man Booker Prize for The Line of Beauty, set in the 1980s at the height of Thatcherism, and later filmed for BBC TV. His first novel, The Swimming Pool Library, won the 1989 Somerset Maugham Award, and his second, The Folding Star, won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. His first four books (including The Spell, 1998) form a quartet that explore British gay life - Hollinghurst says himself that he thought of them as a four-movement symphonic structure, coming back at the end to the time that the first book was set. Music, poetry and the novels of Henry James are among Hollinghurst's great passions.

TUE 22:00 Night Waves (b01g4xy7)
Close the Coalhouse Door, Pakistan on the Brink, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
A play that that was described as "an unqualified hymn of praise to the miners" is back on stage. In 1968 the great northern playwright Alan Plater wrote Close the Coalhouse Door, a play that became a landmark of postwar regional theatre and toured the country as well as being broadcast on television. Now a member of England's acting aristocracy, Samuel West, is directing a new revival of the production, with a reworked script by Billy Elliot writer Lee Hall. Sam West tells Anne McElvoy why Close the Coalhouse Door still matters today.
Anne is joined by Ahmed Rashid to discuss his new book 'Pakistan on the Brink' which examines the future of both Pakistan and Afghanistan as the current conflict in Afghanistan continues.
This summer's big romantic comedy is brought to you by the writer of The Full Monty and the director of Chocolat. It stars Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt trying to bring the sport of salmon fishing to the Yemeni desert. On Night Waves tonight Anne McElvoy asks the novelist and film critic Louise Doughty about the tricky art of getting romantic comedy right.
And with calls for detailed personal tax statements on how our money is spent, we look at how this will change our relationship with the state. Will increased transparency in our public institutions change the cultural landscape of Britain?

Schumann, Kalevi Aho
Live from the Royal Festival Hall, London.
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
Osmo Vanska makes a return visit to London for this concert which includes a premiere from one of his Finnish compatriots. Schumann's lively overture to Genoveva is enduringly popular, although the rest of the opera is rearly performed. Radiant joy and intense poetry characterise recent works from the pen of Finnish composer Kalevi Aho. His style continues to adapt and evolve, but he never ceases to interest listeners and make them aware of the world in alluring and enlightening ways. Here percussionist Colin Currie unveils the new concerto called 'Sieidi' a Sami word for an offering stone or a holy rock. It is followed by the symphony Brahms thought he could never write, post-Beethoven. His First symphony opens with a broad passage pulling in opposite directions, which then steamrollers towards an angelic Andante and a grand, striding finale.

Verdi - Otello
Theatre Music Shakespeare: Verdi's Otello
Penny Gore introduces a performance of Verdi's penultimate opera, recorded recently at the Vienna State Opera. Knowing him to be a lifelong admirer of Shakespeare, it was with a proposal for a work based on Othello that Verdi's publisher finally coaxed the grand old man of Itlaian music out of retirement.. The rehearsals for the premiere at La Scala in 1887 were held in great secrecy and Verdi retained the right to cancel until the last minute. He need not have worried: the work was an instant triumph and now takes its place as one of the greatest of all operas based on a play by Shakepseare.

BBC SSO - Bach, Vaughan Williams
Live from City Halls, Glasgow
Presented by Jamie MacDougall
The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra with their Associate Guest Conductor Andrew Manze explore the world of Ralph Vaughan Williams. His two contrasting Symphonies - the perhaps biographical, but certainly angry, angular and disturbing Fourth Symphony is played against his warmly sunlit, poetic and English Fifth Symphony. Between the two great symphonies, the pastoral balm of his famous Lark Ascending - the songbird played by outstanding young violinist Jennifer Pike. To start the programme she plays some of the greatest solo violin music by J.S. Bach - who was adored by Vaughan Williams.

Live from St David's Hall, Cardiff
Haydn
Live from St David's Hall, Cardiff
Presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas
The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Principal Conductor Thierry Fischer perform symphonies by Haydn and Mahler.
Haydn's final symphony, No 104, is not only the crowning glory of his sequence of symphonies written for London but also an ebullient farewell to the genre which he had virtually created more than three decades earlier.
After the interval soprano Lisa Milne joins the orchestra to sing in Mahler's glorious Fourth Symphony - one of his most relaxed works which culminates in a musical representation of a child's view of heaven.

With its pipe tunes and folky finale, Mahler's Symphony No. 4 presents itself as the odd man out amongst the composer's grand and imposing symphonies. But is it really? Stephen Johnson explores darker undercurrents in the work, as well as shadows of the composer's other life as one of the greatest opera conductors of his day.
