A selection of music including the Essential CD of the Week: All Shall Be Well: Exultate Singers, David Ogden - NAXOS
A daily brainteaser and performances by the Artist of the Week, conductor Adrian Boult.
This week Britain celebrates the Diamond Jubilee of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, only the second British monarch to celebrate 60 years on the throne. Rob Cowan's guest is the historian Lord Hennessy, who since 1992 has been Attlee Professor of Contemporary British History at Queen Mary, University of London. He shares his essential pieces of classical music.
Donald Macleod continues his story of the 'Father of the string quartet'. Haydn's employer, Prince Esterhazy had no interest in quartets, but Haydn continued to write them purely for himself and he began to discover the commercial potential of this increasingly popular musical form.
This week's Lunchtime Concerts come from the Leamington Chamber Series, with performances by the Doric String Quartet, Ensemble 360 and the Heath Quartet. In today's broadcast, the Heath Quartet performs Schumann's epic Quartet No.3, and Ensemble 360 plays one of Carl Nielsen's best known chamber works - his Wind Quintet.
John Shea presents a performance of Haydn's Missa Cellensis - with a starry line up of soloists, Vienna's leading chamber choir and the period instruments of Concentus Musicus, Vienna, all conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, one of the most inspiring and provocative musicians of our age. The mass was written for the Esterhazy family in 1766 and is notable for its astonishing vigour.
Haydn Mass No. 8 in C Hob. XXII/5 ('Missa Cellensis')
Suzy Klein presents, with live music and guests from the music world - including the innovative Kosmos Ensemble, a young string trio who who unite classical music with from around the world. They will be playing live in the studio with international prize-winning accordionist Milos Milivojevic, ahead of a concert at London's Kings Place. Sophisticated jazz glides magically into wild Gypsy fiddling, emotive Balkan music into hot-blooded tango, Arabic improvisation into Greek melodies.
Phantasm, the award winning viol consort formed in 1994, are joined by lutenist Elizabeth Kenny and organist Daniel Hyde live at the Wigmore Hall in a programme of music by John Dowland and William Lawes.
Dowland was acclaimed as one of the finest lutenists of his time in his native England but was also influential on the Continent where he spent much of his career. The next generation saw the emergence of Salisbury-born William Lawes who wrote extensively for voices and instruments. Tonight we hear two of his Setts with organ and a Royall Consort.
Samira Ahmed talks to Robert Caro about The Passage of Power, the latest volume of his celebrated biography of Lyndon Johnson which examines LBJ's rocky road to the White House.
For all the wisdom, self-awareness, caution and craft that comes with many years as a writer, Silver Dagger award winner Frances Fyfield finds it is another quality altogether that has matured with her; procrastination. Where once she was quick off the mark, keen to hunch over the typewriter or writing pad, now she finds a thousand natural excuses for not getting on with it. A story that once had to be told can now wait until deadline doomsday's clock reaches a minute before midnight.
Frances struggles for the positives as she looks back contemplatively at her creativity.
Verity Sharp's choices tonight include Ethiopian singer Selamnesh Zemene, dark ambience from Cyclobe's album Wounded Galaxies Tap at The Window, more from Irish fiddler Gerry Diver's Speech Project and the Wells Cathedral Choir singing the music of Bob Chilcott.

Opera matinee: Strauss Die Frau ohne Schatten Acts 1 and 2 in this Salzburg Festival performance with the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Christian Thielemann
John Shea presents this week's celebration of some of the best of Austrian music making
In the mythical land of the Southeastern Islands the Emperor captures a gazelle who assumes human form and marries him. But, in a symbol of her inability to have children, she has no shadow. It is decreed that unless the Empress gains a shadow before the end of the twelfth moon, she will be reclaimed by her father and the Emperor will turn to stone.
Strauss and Hofmannsthal's opera, with its involved plot, heightened use of symbolism and generous passages of monologue has recently been enjoying the acclaim which many have felt it deserves. Calling for a large cast and orchestra and for frequent scene changes, it is difficult to stage in the theatre. but here receives a warmly received performance at the Salzburg Festival.

The Age of Creativity
Maureen Duffy
Playwright, poet and novelist Maureen Duffy explores the effects of ageing on creativity. Maureen Duffy was born in Worthing, Sussex in 1933. After a tough childhood she took a degree in English from King's College London and then became a schoolteacher from 1956 to 1961. In 1962 she published her first novel, That's How It Was, to immediate acclaim. Her first openly lesbian novel was 'The Microcosm' in 1966, set in the famous lesbian Gateways club in London.
She is said to have been Britain's first lesbian to 'come out' in public, and made public comments during the debates around homosexual law reform. In 1977 she published The Ballad of the Blasphemy Trial, a broadside against the trial of the Gay News newspaper for blasphemous libel.
She is also a celebrated playwright and poet, and has written biography and other non-fiction. She is co-founder of the Writers' Action Group, Vice-President of the European Writers' Congress, and a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

Once Upon a Time...
An exploration of the dark, sinister and enchanted world of fairy tales. Michael Rosen, AS Byatt and Richard Mabey take us into the woods - the realm where magic lurks, stange things happen, evil is vanquished and (usually) good prevails. Why do these tales and myths continue to exert such a powerful fascination for children and adults alike?

FRI 22:45 The Essay (b00z64bm)
The Age of Creativity
Francis Pott
Western classical music is notorious for its collection of brilliant but short lived composers. Bizet, Mozart, Schubert; they left a staggering legacy in their little span. But ageing matters profoundly to Francis Pott, not least because the passion for his music must wrestle endlessly with the mechanics of his life as a loving father.
Although a well recognised figure amongst British composing talent with pieces like 'A Cloud of Unknowing' enhancing his reputation for a fiercely individual sound and uncompromising approach to his work, Francis has never enjoyed the luxury of time and space. So will age weary or continue to nurture his creative spirit?
FRI 23:00 World on 3 (b01jgffl)
Roberto Fonseca in Session
Mary Ann Kennedy with new tracks from across the globe, and a session with Cuban jazz pianist Roberto Fonseca.
Roberto Fonseca is now established as a leading Cuban pianist and bandleader. He was born in Havana in 1975, and made an impact at a jazz festival in the city when he was just 15. He studied at the Havana's celebrated Instituto Superior de Arte, then left Cuba to gain international experience. In 2001 he began touring with the Buena Vista Social Club, and worked with many of its soloists, including Ibrahim Ferrer and Cachaíto López. His new album 'Yo!' has just been released.
