Sport Relief runs from Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd March and when Rob's guest retired from his sport, his opponents probably breathed a sigh of relief. Former England rugby union international hooker Brian Moore won 64 caps for England as well as 5 caps for the British and Irish Lions. Known as the 'Pitbull' for his uncompromising style, he has continued his direct approach with his journalism. Brian is a regular part of the BBC rugby commentary team and has broadcast widely on TV and radio. In 2009 Brian was nominated for the British Press Awards sports journalist of the year and in 2010 he won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year award for his autobiography, Beware of the Dog. Away from rugby, Brian is also FSA qualified, an OPI qualified Nail manicurist, a Semi-skilled sheet metal shearer and a qualified lawyer.
He was at the forefront of early symphonic writing and composed a great deal of music across many forms, but he's been largely overshadowed by the popularity of his own son; this week Donald Macleod with Professor Cliff Eisen, explores the life and music of Leopold Mozart.
In the 1740s, Leopold Mozart gained his first position at the Court of the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg. This was an unpaid position to begin with, and it was difficult to rise up the ranks at Court. Leopold went on to write much music for the court orchestra, in particular for those musicians he particularly admired, including two horn players. It is probable that his Concerto in E flat for two horns and strings was composed with these colleagues in mind.
During this early period in Salzburg, Leopold met Maria Anna Pertl. It was only when Leopold became more financially secure that they were eventually able to marry, in 1747, at Salzburg Cathedral.
A four-part Schubert series at LSO St Luke's in London opens with a programme of works from a genre in which Schubert was one of the greatest masters, the piano duet. Cédric Tiberghien and Christian Ihle Hadland are the performers in the turbulent 'Lebensstürme' D947, the elegant Grand Rondo in A D951 and the sublime F minor Fantasy, D940
This week features the BBC Symphony Orchestra and BBC Singers in highlights from their Villa-Lobos Total Immersion concerts recorded at The Barbican earlier this month. Today's programme includes his Uirpuru, based on the legend of the enchanted bird, guitar etudes performed by Radio 3 New Generation Artist Sean Shibe and his Bachianas Brasileiras IX, a highly virtuosic prelude and fugue for unaccompanied voices.

Teacher
He was at the forefront of early symphonic writing and composed a great deal of music across many forms, but he's been largely overshadowed by the popularity of his own son; this week Donald Macleod with Professor Cliff Eisen, explores the life and music of Leopold Mozart.
Leopold Mozart was now very active at the court in Salzburg, with a great many violin pupils. With this experience, Leopold decided to write a Manual on the Violin. His book proved to be very popular indeed, and was reprinted in different languages. With his circumstances improving, he was now able to marry. Leopold and his wife Maria Anna would go on to have a number of children, although only two survived, Nannerl and Wolfgang. Leopold took a great interest in teaching his children, including writing several minuets for Nannerl to study, which he presented to her in a notebook, for her 8th birthday.

Leopold Mozart (1719-1787)
Travels with the Mozarts
He was at the forefront of early symphonic writing and composed a great deal of music across many forms, but he's been largely overshadowed by the popularity of his own son; this week Donald Macleod with Professor Cliff Eisen, explores the life and music of Leopold Mozart.
Leopold Mozart was convinced that his son, Wolfgang, was a gift from God. Such a talented son should be shown off to the world, and so Leopold took his family on tour. They performed for royalty and aristocrats; Wolfgang, aged just 6, played for the Empress Maria Theresa. These journeys abroad were also intended to be educational and Leopold, who was a devout Catholic, commented much on the changes in religious landscape from country to country.
Once the family had returned from their Grand Tour, Leopold settled back into life in Salzburg, and composed his Symphony in G, the Neue Lambacher symphony, once thought to be by his son. By now Wolfgang had started to compose his own music, although Leopold and Wolfgang often collaborated together on composition, including the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in D major, K 107.

For the 150th anniversary of Richard Strauss, Lorin Maazel conducts the Philharmonia in An Alpine Symphony and Also sprach Zarathustra.

conductor Lorin Maazel
For the 150th anniversary celebrations of Richard Strauss this year, the world-renowned conductor Lorin Maazel returns to London to conduct the Philharmonia in two orchestral masterpieces.
The Alpine Symphony recounts a mountain scene in detail from dawn to nightfall, imaginatively using an orchestra of over 150 players. Strauss's resonant opening to Also sprach Zarathustra may be best known thanks to Stanley Kubrick, but it is still an arresting start to a piece with searches for answers to Nietzsche's questions about God, humankind and our existence.

Leopold Mozart (1719-1787)
Final Years
He was at the forefront of early symphonic writing and composed a great deal of music across many forms, but he's been largely overshadowed by the popularity of his own son; this week Donald Macleod with Professor Cliff Eisen, explores the life and music of Leopold Mozart.
In the last decade of Leopold Mozart's life, he gave up composing music. His time focused more and more on the support and development of his children. It wasn't all hard work though, and on one occasion Leopold and Wolfgang went to a fancy dress party in Salzburg, where it was likely some of Leopold's music was performed, such as his Serenade in D major.
Leopold was now facing a lonely final few years. His wife Maria Anna had died in Paris, and both Wolfgang and Nannerl had left home and got married. Leopold no longer sought promotion at court, having been passed over a number of times. He did however continue to teach musicians at home, which included regular ensemble sessions, working on pieces like his own Trio Sonata in A major.
Leopold remained proud of his son's achievements, even if he didn't always approve of his behaviour. One contemporary account reports Leopold crying when he heard one of Wolfgang's Violin works. Leopold's own reputation was now becoming more and more eclipsed by his famous son; however, he remains an important early explorer in symphonic writing, such as his Symphony in D major D17.

John Scott (organ)
When first installed in 1953, the Royal Festival Hall's great 8000-pipe organ attracted admiration and opprobrium in equal measure. Controversially, it aimed - for the first time in a major British instrument - to be able convincingly to recreate the sounds and timbres required for every period and school of organ composition, and drew inspiration from many famous European instruments of the past. John Scott, formerly Organist of St Paul's Cathedral, and now Director of Music at St Thomas', Fifth Avenue in New York, demonstrates the RFH organ's versatility in music from 17th-century France to our own day.

Live at Southbank Centre: Claudia Aurora in Session, Commonwealth Connections 7
Live at Southbank Centre: Mary Ann Kennedy with Portuguese Fado singer Claudia Aurora live in session and part 7 of the Commonwealth Connections series.
COMMONWEALTH CONNECTIONS
This landmark 26-part weekly series leading up to the Commonwealth Games in July features music from each of the 53 member states, reflecting the range of music and culture across the whole Commonwealth.
Music feature from Botswana:
In Botswana, each tribe has their own identifiable style of music. The Balete Ditlhaka traditional group, based in Ramotswa village in the south of Botswana, is one of the last groups keeping Ditlhaka music alive. Deputy Chief Kgosi Tsimane Mokgosi tells the stories of the Ditlhaka music, and the group's director and pipe tuner Sialala Mookestsi shares how he learnt Ditlhaka in the South African mines as a boy. In Botswana's capital Gaborone, a very different sound comes from inside a garden; Myzer Mathako plays his Mbira, moved by its spirit.
Heritage Track from Sierra Leone:
Hafsatu Kamara is an up-and-coming sprinter who represented Sierra Leone at the 2013 African Senior Championships, and aims to do well at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Raised in Sierra Leone and the United States, she is well aware of the extremes life can throw at you, having been forced to leave Sierra Leone because of the outbreak of Civil War in the early nineties. Her choice of music is by Emmerson from his "Yesterday Betteh Pass Tiday?" album, a recording which provoked a tense political debate in Sierra Leone. This reggae song "Na for Balance" advises Sierra Leoneans to avoid physical confrontation.
Live session with Claudia Aurora:
Born and raised in Oporto, Portugal. Claudia Aurora grew up listening to early Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young and Janis Joplin. It wasn't until she re-located to Bristol in 2003, a place far from friends and family, that she became interested in performing the music from her roots - Fado, a musical form renowned for its heady mix of loss, longing, love, and nostalgia.
