Louise Fryer presents Opera North's new production of Gounod's Faust - bringing a modern spin to one of the most popular 19th Century Operas.
Faust............... Peter Auty (tenor)
Aidan and Paul have been friends all their lives and now they are in their late thirties. Both were "head bangers" back in the day and both love AC/DC. Paul has been in a wheelchair since a tragic car accident when he was 21. Each year the friends make it a point to watch AC/DC in a European city, this year Paul has decided on Zurich.
They leave Belfast with Paul secreting a copious amount of cannabis on his person. They use Paul's status as a wheelchair user to bunk any queue they are ever in. Paul is a big lad over twenty stone now. This means they get moved to spacious fire-exit areas, get served their drinks first.
At Zurich they are rumbled by the sniffer dog, which signals that Paul has got cannabis. Paul protests that it is a medicinal necessity, and they are released with a caution. The lads reach their opulent hotel; Aidan enquires why the luxury, as they normally stay in a low-budget one, and Paul explains that "you only live once". They head out to the concert where once again Paul gets them the best seats in the house, demanding vehemently that Aidan be afforded the same treatment as his carer and explaining that Aidan empties his catheter bag.
The concert rocks. Angus and co tear it up and the boys are energized by the music. They have the time of their lives, with big doobies, ice-cold beer and burgers. Only after twenty cans do they realize they have been drinking non-alcoholic beer! The lads laugh and reminisce about the good times, and bad times, when finally Paul reveals the reason he has chosen Zurich and asks his best friend a favour that will test their close relationship to the limits ...
Pearse Elliott was born in West Belfast and was nominated for the Irish Film and Television Best New Talent Award for his feature film, Man About Dog.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b01nt14r)
Dan Snow
Michael Berkeley's guest on this Remembrance Sunday is the TV presenter Dan Snow, son of the TV journalist Peter Snow and nephew of Canadian historian Margaret MacMillan. He studied Modern History at Oxford, and began his TV career when he and his father jointly presented a programme on El Alamein to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the battles. They followed it up with an eight-part BBC2 series called Battlefield Britain, and since then Dan Snow has presented on several state occasions such as the 200th anniversary celebration of the Battle of Trafalgar, the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII and the 90th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice in November 2008. He has also presented BBC2's 20th-century Battlefields, and many other programmes such as Little Ships (2010), China's Terracotta Army, Battle for North America: The Battle of Quebec (BBC2) and Dig WW2 (BBC1, 2012) on the excavation of historic sites and battlefields. He has just published a book, 'Battle Castles: 500 Years of Knights and Siege Warfare'.
Dan has always been a keen sailor and rower. His music choices begin with Sibelius's Symphony No.2, which reminds him of family sailing holidays in the Baltic. Mozart is a favourite composer, and he has chosen the second movement of the Clarinet Quintet. He is half-Canadian, and the film 'Last of the Mohicans' is one of his favourites - he loves its soundtrack, especially Promontory. He has a Welsh grandmother, and has chosen the Welsh folk-tune Suo gan. His remaining choices are a movement from Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony, Nimrod from Elgar's Enigma Variations, which he finds deeply moving, and the end of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, a piece linked to a specific historical event 200 years ago this autumn.
SUN 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00fgztb)
The Muiderkring
The Muiderkring or Muider Circle was a group of contributors to the arts and sciences in the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century, when Dutch trade, science and art was among the most important in the world. Chief among this group was the historian, poet and playwright Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft, who was appointed as Sheriff and Bailiff for the Gooiland, the area around Hilversum, in 1609, and was given a medieval moated castle to live in, the Muiderslot.
Over the next four decades, he spent his summers there, entertaining house parties of distinguished friends from the worlds of art, music and philosophy. They discussed current affairs, read their poetry to each other, debated philosophical and moral issues and of course, made music.
Hooft seems to have had impeccable taste and his guestlist reads like a who's who of the Dutch cultural elite: with the poets Caspar Barlaeus and Hooft's great friend Joost van den Vondel, the wealthy merchant and poet Pieter Roemers Visscher and Constantijn Huygens among the castlist.
In today's Early Music Show, Catherine Bott investigates this mysterious cultural group.

SUN 19:45 Sunday Feature (b01nt18n)
Queen's University - Belfast Built
The past fifty years in Northern Ireland have often been turbulent but throughout this time the Queen's University of Belfast has always been at the core, encouraging intellectual thought and spirited discussion. William Crawley considers this period of its history and how the university tried in vain to remove itself from the political difficulties of Northern Ireland.
With contributions from past graduates and current staff William recalls the hey-day of the 1960s when Queen's found itself welcoming its first working class students like Paul Muldoon to a world where intellectual thought was prized and Queen's was the very essence of a British red brick institution. As 1968 took hold, and student radicalism swept the world, Queen's University students like Nick Ross were to take up the role of championing the rights of the individual and their civil liberties, carrying the flame for student activism challenging the society around them. However, in the 1970s as a young David Trimble and Alexander McCall Smith took up their first teaching posts, it was clear that the university could not resist the grip of the' Troubles' as it permeated every aspect of Northern Ireland life.
From the turbulent years of the seventies and the out of control eighties WIlliam Crawley tells the story of a university that became the very reflection of what it tried to stand apart from as staff, students and the university itself became embroiled in the chaos around it. From murders on campus to discrimination and alienation, to a very public row over its own identity he charts how Queen's University Belfast passed through an emotional rollercoaster few institutions would have survived to emerge stronger and leaner in the 21st century.
Producer: Regina Gallen.

Big Band
Pioneers
During the London Jazz Festival this week Donald Macleod is joined by jazz trumpeter, composer and conductor Guy Barker to look at the story of Big Band Jazz. From pioneers like Fletcher Henderson, the superstars of swing Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw, to Dizzy Gillespie and Gil Evans, they explore the development of the art of arranging for big band from the 1920s onwards, and the contributions of the key figures involved over the decades.
In the first programme this week Donald Macleod looks at the pioneers of the big band sound, including Fletcher Henderson and Paul Whiteman, with the help of Guy Barker. While Henderson helped to establish the model for big band arranging for the next two decades, Whiteman created a show band and aimed to take jazz into the concert halls.

And Vaughan Williams is the link with the other main thread in this week's programmes: the First World War, to reflect Armistice Day. VW was an ambulance driver in Flanders in WW1, and his experiences there underpin his 'Pastoral' Symphony, which you can hear shortly after
3pm today. Tuesday's programme includes 'The Lark Ascending', possibly VW's best-loved work, which he sketched in Kent as troop ships sailed for France at the start of the War, but which wasn't heard until after it had ended.
Throughout the week there will also be music from a new Elgar CD to be released very soon by the BBC Concert Orchestra with conductor John Wilson, which also makes a special feature of music connected with WW1. And today's programme spreads the net to include memorial music by Walford Davies and Gabriel Jackson.

MON 20:10 Twenty Minutes (b01nt1vf)
The Gardener
To commemorate Armistice Day, Sian Thomas reads Rudyard Kipling's classic story of remembrance, written out of his own grief at losing his son in the First World War, culminating on the killing fields of Northern Europe.
'The Gardener' is the story of a very typical Englishwoman who nobly steps into the breach, taking on the son of her disgraced and now dead brother, who she brings up, and loves as much as is proper, before seeing him of to the war in France. On the news that he is missing presumed dead, she is numbed, living on untouched by events around her. Only on visiting his grave across the Channel, among others struggling with their grief, does she find solance.
Rudyard Kipling was one of the great English short story writers, whose own son John was killed at Loos in 1915. Partly in response to John's death, Kipling helped to set up the Imperial War Graves Commission, the group responsible for the garden-like British war graves that can be found to this day dotted along the former Western Front.

2012 Festival
Amos Oz
Amos Oz, one of Israel's most influential thinkers, gives a talk on the Middle East and the prospect of future co-existence between Israel and Palestine at the Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival.
A best-selling novelist, essayist and journalist, Amos Oz is frequently cited as a possible candidate to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Oz's work has been published in 41 languages, including Arabic, and he is known as a prominent advocate of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
His books include the semi-autobiographical novel A Tale of Love and Darkness, a portrait of war-torn Jerusalem in the 1950s, and the recent collection of stories Scenes from a Village Life.
The event is chaired by Night Waves presenter Philip Dodd and recorded as part of Radio 3's Free Thinking Festival 2012.
The Free Thinking festival of ideas takes place at The Sage Gateshead Friday 2 - Sunday 4 November and is broadcast for three weeks on Radio 3 from Friday 2 November.
MON 22:45 The Essay (b01nt1y6)
New Generation Thinkers at 10
Should biographers imitate their subjects?
Would you don a diving suit or take a drug in a quest to understand the life of someone else? "Following in the footsteps" is an obsession for biographers as they travel the world to bring their subjects to life, sometimes with dangerous consequences.
Hull University Professor of Creative Writing Martin Goodman, biographer of the sorcerer Carlos Castaneda, the Indian mystic Mother Meera and the scientist John Scott Haldane, draws on visits to high peaks, the seabed, coal mines and monasteries to reveal the challenges of the biographer's art. This episode was recorded at Sage Gateshead at the Free Thinking Festival in 2012.
The New Generation Thinkers scheme is 10 years old in 2020. Jointly run by BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council, each year it offers ten academics at the start of their careers a chance to bring fascinating research to a wider public. This week we hear five essays from this last decade of stimulating ideas. You can also find a playlist of Documentaries, Discussions and other Essays by New Generation Thinkers on the Free Thinking website and over the weekend of November 28th and 29th they will appear across a variety of Radio 3 music programmes.
You can find Martin Goodman discussing his most recent novel J SS Bach in an episode of Free Thinking called Art and Refugees from Nazi Germany https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00027m6

MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 (b01nt1y8)
Matthew Shipp Trio
Jez Nelson presents Matthew Shipp, the masterful and somewhat outspoken pianist, live in concert with his trio at the London Jazz Festival.
Matthew Shipp's career has spanned everything from the avant-garde through to hip hop and electronica. First rising to prominence as a sideman with saxophonist David S. Ware's quartet and Roscoe Mitchell's Note Factory, Shipp has since concentrated on leading his own projects and has also participated in some unexpected collaborations - including with hip hop's Antipop Consortium and DJ Spooky.
Despite returning to the more traditional trio setting, Shipp's playing remains ever-progressive. The individual voices of the band - featuring Michael Bisio on bass and Whit Dickey on drums - ebb and flow in and out of conversation, creating music that touches on the more delicate side of classical and avant-garde influences.
Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producers: Peggy Sutton & Russell Finch.

Big Band
The Swing Era
Donald Macleod is joined by Guy Barker to look at the swing era, when predominantly white bandleaders like Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey and Artie Shaw took big band jazz to a mass audience. Swing was king, and its popularity came to a head during the Second World War, when the music became the sound of America. They explore the work of the superstars of the day, as well as that of less well-known arrangers and bandleaders who were to have a huge influence on the future sound of big bands.

Today's main concert of Butterworth, Vaughan Williams and Schubert was given in Glasgow less than an fortnight ago by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and their Associate Guest Conductor Andrew Manze. George Butterworth, who was killed on the Western Front in 1916, is the direct connection with this week's other theme of the First World War - also reflected today by three works Elgar wrote to support the war effort, and by another concertante work by Vaughan Williams, possibly the best-loved piece he ever wrote: 'The Lark Ascending'. Sketched as the war was starting, but not finished till after 1918, in a very different world, the music has been seen as a lament for England's supposed lost innocence.

Shabaka Hutchings and the BBC Concert Orchestra at the London Jazz Festival
Live from the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London.

Shabaka Hutchings is fast becoming the name to look out for on the British jazz scene. With Soweto Kinch and Courtney Pine as mentors he has performed with Tomorrow's Warriors, The Jazz Warriors and Mercury-nominated Polar Bear.
In this one-off gig Shabaka takes his sound-world to another level with a brand new commission, Babylon. This world premiere features the BBC Concert Orchestra, beatboxer Jason Singh and sonic frontiersman Leafcutter John in an ambitious amalgamation of jazz, minimalist classical music and electronica.
Dave Heath's music is based on John Coltrane and Miles Davis. A controversial musical figure, Heath has created his own genre of music blending jazz, rock, electronic and Celtic sounds. His 'Rhapsody' was commissioned for the BBC Concert Orchestra's 50th anniversary.
Labelled an eccentric, Friedrich Gulda's music defies classification. Born out of the fearlessness and anarchy of the '80s music scene, his 'Concerto for Cello and Wind Orchestra' melds classical and jazz traditions to create something entirely new. Featuring Benjamin Hughes, cello.

Andrew Marr's landmark series A New History of the World aired on BBC1 last year, and he has published the book A History of the World.

Nandini Das
Nandini Das, one of Radio 3's New Generation Thinkers, gives a talk on the 16th Century craze for crime pamphlets, recorded at the Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival.
Crime fiction and travel writing are regulars on the book charts today. But long before the charts were invented it was the crime pamphlet that seized the nation's imagination.
Nandini Das explores the late sixteenth-century craze that revealed a new secret world to readers and became the first best-selling phenomenon of the popular press.
The Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival takes place at The Sage Gateshead Friday 2 - Sunday 4 November and is broadcast for three weeks on Radio 3 from Friday 2 November.
The New Generation Thinkers are winners of a talent scheme run by BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council to find the brightest academic minds in the arts and humanities with the potential to turn their ideas into broadcasts.

Live from Symphony Hall, Birmingham.
Presented by Martin Handley.
Jac van Steen conducts the CBSO in Schoenberg's Five Pieces and Mahler's Seventh Symphony.
Schoenberg: Five Pieces for Orchestra (1909 original version)
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra
Jac van Steen, conductor
Mahler called it a "song of the night", and indeed, the Seventh is a Mahler symphony like no other. It begins in a boat on an Alpine lake and ends with trumpets aloft in blazing, roof-raising celebration. Along the way there are distant bugles, moonlit serenades and spine-chilling horror. The concert opens with a revolutionary masterpiece by one of Mahler's most devoted admirers, which received its premiere a hundred years ago. With an oversize orchestra and a kaleidoscope of colours and textures, Schoenberg looks decisively towards a brave new musical world - and sheds fresh light on Mahler's own futuristic vision.
WED 20:10 Twenty Minutes (b01nt2vp)

She is about to become the new Artistic Director of the Royal Court Theatre in London.
As Scotland heads towards a referendum on independence, Vicky Featherstone discusses the role of a modern day national theatre in shaping and capturing national identity and history.
The event is hosted by Night Waves presenter Anne McElvoy, and recorded as part of Radio 3's Free Thinking Festival 2012.

Free Thinking Essay
Joshua Nall
Joshua Nall, one of Radio 3's New Generation Thinkers, gives a talk on the Victorian obsession with the planet Mars at the Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival.
With the recent success of NASA's Curiosity lander, Mars is firmly back on the agenda. But where did our fascination with the red planet start?
Cambridge University historian Joshua Nall returns to Mars, as it was seen a century ago, when science and literature buzzed with claims about inhabitants on the neighbouring planet.
The Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival takes place at The Sage Gateshead Friday 2 - Sunday 4 November and is broadcast for three weeks on Radio 3 from Friday 2 November.
The New Generation Thinkers are winners of a talent scheme run by BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council to find the brightest academic minds in the arts and humanities with the potential to turn their ideas into broadcasts.

Katie Derham whisks us off to 'Rossiniland' for today's opera matinee: a zany production of Rossini's comic opera Il Signor Bruschino (Mr Bruschino) was one of the highlights of this year's Rossini Opera Festival in the composer's native city of Pesaro, Italy. Sofia and Florville are head over heels in love, but their parents are at loggerheads and Sofia's father plans to hitch her to the son of his old friend Mr Bruschino. Fortunately, nobody's seen said son for years - so Florville takes his place, and even fools the local police into believing him. Will he get the girl? There's only one way to find out - tune in at

They called them "Young Poland": the composers who, in the first decades of the 20th century, gave voice to a resurgent nation. Karłowicz died young, but his heartfelt tone-poem Eternal Songs brought Polish music firmly into the world of Mahler and Strauss. Szymanowski went further in his Violin Concerto No.1: lyrical, visionary and aglow with colour, it's a work with which Nicola Benedetti has a deep personal affinity. After the interval: a reminder of another turning point in Eastern European history: Prokofiev's " Andrew Litton makes symphony of the greatness of the human spirit", premiered in wartime Moscow to the sound of gunfire.

2012 Festival
Immigration and the Challenge to Belonging
Philip Dodd chairs a debate on Immigration and the Challenge to Belonging at the Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival.
What does it mean to belong today?
Immigration is a highly sensitive and polarising issue that throws up big questions about belonging and identity. Multiculturalism, integration and social division are increasingly part of the political debate. But what impact does immigration have on everyone's sense of national identity?
Debaters include the director of the influential Demos think-tank David Goodhart, Alp Mehmet, who is Vice Chairman of Migration Watch and one of Britain's first ambassadors from an ethnic minority, and the political activist and head of British Future Sunder Katwala.
The event is hosted by Night Waves presenter Philip Dodd, and recorded as part of Radio 3's Free Thinking Festival 2012.

Sue-Ann Harding gives a talk entitled Expat or Immigrant at the Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival.
What is the difference between being an expat and an immigrant? Can a citizen still be a migrant?
Originally from Australia, Sue-Ann Harding was a migrant in the UK at the University of Manchester researching Russia's Beslan hostage disaster, and is now an expat in Qatar at Hamad Bin Khalifa University.
She draws on television portrayals of migrants and personal experience to explore and challenge the ideas we have about migration.

From the blackest depths, Anton Bruckner reached out and struggled towards the light. He never made it, but in his Ninth Symphony he left us one of the greatest spiritual odysseys in all music. The BBC Philharmonic's previous performances of Bach and Bruckner together have won exceptional critical praise. You don't need to be religious to be moved by this music, nor to be refreshed by Bach's joyous Cantata No 147, which includes the famous chorale known as 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring'.

From the blackest depths, Anton Bruckner reached out and struggled towards the light. He never made it, but in his Ninth Symphony he left us one of the greatest spiritual odysseys in all music. The BBC Philharmonic's previous performances of Bach and Bruckner together have won exceptional critical praise. You don't need to be religious to be moved by this music, nor to be refreshed by Bach's joyous Cantata No 147.

2012 Festival
Mark Pagel
Evolutionary biologist Mark Pagel gives a talk on Evolution and Humanity - What Next? at the Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival.
Why have humans evolved to speak so many incomprehensible languages? Why do we work against our own survival by going to war with one another?
Professor Mark Pagel, Head of the Evolution Laboratory at the University of Reading and author of Wired for Culture, argues that despite today's incredible cultural diversity, humanity has been steadily evolving from small tribes to huge nation states.
Are we moving towards a unified world of one language and one state?
The event is chaired by Night Waves presenter Rana Mitter and was recorded as part of Radio 3's Free Thinking Festival 2012.
First broadcast in November 2012.
FRI 22:45 Free Thinking (b01nt2gb)
Free Thinking Essay
Matthew Smith
Matthew Smith, one of Radio 3's New Generation Thinkers, gives a talk on peanuts and the rise of food allergies at the Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival, entitled Peanut Panic.
Food allergies now affect 15 million people in North America and the UK. And drastic measures are being taken to protect the public, including banning peanuts from places where they were once commonplace: airplanes, sports arenas and schools.
Medical historian Matthew Smith, of Strathclyde University, explores the current obsession with allergies revealing why, in the space of a decade, the peanut has become food enemy number one.
The Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival takes place at The Sage Gateshead Friday 2 - Sunday 4 November and is broadcast for three weeks on Radio 3 from Friday 2 November.
The New Generation Thinkers are winners of a talent scheme run by BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council to find the brightest academic minds in the arts and humanities with the potential to turn their ideas into broadcasts.
FRI 23:00 World on 3 (b01nt2zb)
Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino in Session
Lopa Kothari with new tracks from across the globe, and a studio session with Italian tarantella band Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino.
Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino come from Salento in southern Italy. The band was formed in 1975, and in 2007 the violinist Mauro Durante took over as leader of the band from his father. Their style of music is based on the 'pizzica' dance style, which is linked to tarantella, where dancers who have supposedly been bitten by the tarantula spider dance furiously to get rid of the poison.
