Martin Handley presents Radio 3's classical breakfast show, featuring the Best of British music Playlist, compiled from listener requests. Also, including your requests for works by neglected composers, amateur music-making groups and wake-up calls.
The intermezzo - music originally designed to be heard between other works - is the genre explored by Rob Cowan this morning, with examples from composers as diverse as Brahms, Kodaly and Frank Bridge. The sequence of Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance Marches includes No. 6 today, completed and orchestrated by Anthony Payne from sketches left by the composer. In the current short season of harpsichord concertos, today's is by Walter Leigh.
The BBC Sport Prom, live from the Royal Albert Hall: Gabby Logan introduces music with a sporting theme.
In a busy summer of sport that includes the World Cup, the Commonwealth Games and Wimbledon, comes the first ever BBC Sport Prom. Gabby Logan hosts a concert combining classical favourites recalling great sporting events with memorable TV themes. Sporting celebrities select their favourite classical items and we relive unforgettable sporting moments.
Music includes Orff's O Fortuna from Carmina Burana, Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights from Romeo and Juliet, and Josef Strauss's Sport Polka, alongside favourite TV themes, including Match of the Day and Wimbledon.
Having inspired 18th century composers such as Mozart to write seminal works in his concerto and quintet, the clarinet was still a relatively new instrument during the 19th century. Technological advances in instrument making rapidly brought it into the mainstream and later composers such as Mendelssohn were inspired by the virtuoso playing of performers such as his good friend Heinrich Baermann. Trio di Clarone have been exploring this music for many years and bring the fruits of their journey to Wigmore Hall in works by Mendelssohn, Bruch and Schumann.
Bruch: 8 Pieces for clarinet, viola & piano, Op 83 (No 2 Allegro con moto; No 6 Nachtgesang, Andante con moto; No 7 Allegro vivace, ma non troppo)
Schumann: Kanonische Studien, Op 56 (No 2 Adagio; No 3 Andantino; No 4 Mit innigem Ausdruck; No 5 Innig)
Lucie Skeaping presents highlights of a recital by soprano Maria Cristina Kiehr and lute player Ariel Abramovich recorded earlier this month at the National Centre for Early Music as part of this year's York Early Music Festival. The programme for this concert is drawn from two Spanish Renaissance songbooks, the Cancionero de Palacio and the Cancionero de Segovia - music from the dawn of the Renaissance.
The First Night of the 2014 BBC Proms (rpt). Sir Andrew Davis conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra, a large chorus and distinguished soloists in Elgar's biblical oratorio The Kingdom.
Blessed Virgin ..... Erin Wall (soprano)
Mary Magdalene ..... Catherine Wyn-Rogers (mezzo-soprano)
St John ..... Andrew Staples (tenor)
St Peter ..... Christopher Purves (baritone)
The largest classical music festival in the world, the BBC Proms also boasts one of the mightiest venues. The Royal Albert Hall is a monument to the same Victorian pomp and splendour that swells through Edward Elgar's music. What better way to open this season than with the composer's biblical oratorio The Kingdom - the beautiful 'slow movement' of a musical triptych that started with The Apostles, but that would remain unfinished at Elgar's death.
Celebrated Elgarian and Proms favourite Sir Andrew Davis, a Conductor Laureate of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, returns in his 70th-birthday year, joined by a distinguished cast of soloists.
Pippa Nixon and Jonathan Cullen read poems and prose about kisses, from Shakespeare's famous scene in Romeo and Juliet to Fleur Adcock's poem on 'Kissing', and from Herrick's romantic kisses to Sylvia Plath's warning, 'Never try to trick me with a kiss'. There are many types of kisses: the innocent first kisses of a baby, kisses of affection, the first romantic kiss, ritual kisses and the kisses of betrayal.
Music includes Stravinsky's 'The Fairy's Kiss' and Irving Berlin's 'Kiss me Honey'.
Sean Borodale's long poem, Mighty Beast, was created using interviews, a range of voices and overheard conversations he gathered from many visits to cattle markets in towns across Somerset, where he lives. This radio documentary version is told in the voice of the auctioneer: a brilliant, shifting stream of patter that is by turns harsh, lyrical, cajoling, admonitory and consoling. Through this tour de force of poetic writing come the real voices of some of the people who inspired the poem, men whose memories are of the gradual gaining of skills and experience, of childhoods spent in a landscape that has changed beyong retrieval, and the deep love for the animals who provide their livelihood. These voices, real and imagined, are given a rich and lyrical soundscape created by composer Elizabeth Purnell.
In its only UK concert this year, classical supergroup the World Orchestra for Peace returns to the Proms with its conductor Valery Gergiev.
Mahler: Symphony No. 6 in A minor
This celebrated orchestra marks Strauss's 150th anniversary with the colourful, fairy-tale soundscapes of his operatic masterpiece Die Frau ohne Schatten. Fantasy gives way to reality in the prescient tragedy of Mahler's Sixth Symphony, the glorious agony of its final movement foreshadowing the composer's own personal heartbreaks.
Roxanna Panufnik's Three Paths to Peace, commissioned by tonight's orchestra, meshes Christian, Jewish and Islamic musical traditions to tell the story of Abraham and Isaac.
The Booker prize winning novelist Pat Barker, author of the Regeneration Trilogy on the subject of the First World War, and the poet Owen Sheers discuss writers', musicians' and painters' responses to war including the work of Keith Douglas, UA Fanthorpe, David Jones, Alun Lewis and the paintings of CW Nevinson. The reader is Samuel West.
Recorded in front of an audience at the Royal College of Music before the evening's Prom concert.

The second play celebrating Nobel Prize winning Nigerian writer Wole Soyinka's 80th birthday. This is a semi-autobiographical account of events that took place under the brutal regime of Nigerian dictator General Sani Abacha. Based on the experience of Soyinka's daughter, an academic forced to flee Nigeria by the threats against her father's family. Whilst in london, en route to the US, she gives birth prematurely only to find the newborn trapped in a stateless limbo. The British authorities say they are unable to issue the newborn with a visa and therefore the family cannot join Soyinka in the US.
Clemency Burton-Hill presents the second programme in a new series showcasing the talents of the BBC's New Generation Artists.
As part of the BBC's commitment to developing and nurturing young talent, BBC Radio 3 launched its New Generation Artists scheme in the autumn of 1999. Now well into its second decade, the scheme has acquired the reputation of being a world leader for young artists. Every autumn six to seven artists or groups who are beginning to make a mark on the national and international music scene are invited to join the scheme, which offers them unique opportunities to develop their considerable talents. These include concerts in London and around the UK, appearances and recordings with the BBC Orchestras, special studio recordings for Radio 3, and, last but not least, appearances at the Proms.
Today, another chance to hear a recording made last year by a recent graduate of the NGA scheme, soprano Ruby Hughes, of George Crumb's Apparition.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b04b2b0m)
Leos Janacek (1854-1928)
Folklorist and Teacher
For most of his life, Leoš Janácek was known primarily as a folklorist and teacher and didn't achieve international recognition as a composer until he was into his sixties. He was a man of immense drive and determination and, alongside his passion for the folk music of his native Moravia, Janácek improved the standard of music-making and music education in Brno where he spent most of his life.
Donald Macleod introduces works from the years leading up to Janacek's first big success including a sample of the wealth of folk songs he collected, a ghostly orchestral ballad, a piano piece written at a time of personal and professional crisis, and part of the opera which finally put Janácek's career as a serious composer firmly on the map.

Proms Chamber Music 1: Les Arts Florissants
Live from Cadogan Hall, London
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
Leading period-instrument ensemble Les Arts Florissants launches the Proms Chamber Music series with the first of its two Proms appearances marking 250 years since the death of Jean-Philippe Rameau. France's leading Baroque composer, whom some have called the 'French Bach', proved more progressive than Lully, more virtuosic than Couperin. This lunchtime Les Arts Florissants appears on an intimate scale, performing Rameau's only chamber music - the lively and virtuosic Pièces de clavecin en concerts. With movements named after people, places and moods, each is a miniature character study, an evocative musical portrait.
Rameau: Premier concert : La Coulicam, La Livri - Rondeau gracieux, Le Vézinet
Rameau: Deuxième concert : La Laborde, La Boucon, L'Agaçante, Premier Menuet et Deuxième Menuet
Rameau: Troisième concert : La Lapoplinière, La Timide, Premier Tambourin et Deuxième Tambourin en Rondeau

Of One Mind - A Murmuration of Starlings
Have you ever seen one of those wonderful twisters in the sky consisting entirely of starlings - flocking and dancing in their hundreds of thousands?
Known as a murmuration, the dancing twisting patterns must be one of the most magical sights, and sounds, in the natural world, and can be seen in city and countryside right across the UK.
Ham Wall, in the Avalon Marshes, close to Glastonbury Tor, in Somerset, is home to one of the most spectacular murmurations, and at dawn and dusk over 500,000 starlings take to the skies in great clouds, unpredictable in their numbers and behaviour, but worth seeking out for natural drama.
So why do the murmurations happen, and how do the birds avoid crashing into each other whilst flying? The latest theory is known as scale free correlation - how birds like starlings appear to share one mind.
David Bramwell, musician and keen amateur bird watcher takes his chance to share the sharp eyes and ears of ornithologist, Tony Whitehead of the RSPB, and musician and artist, Kathy Hinde, on a mission to film and record the starlings mysterious patterns and dramatic sounds, using both in concerts and exhibitions.
When you have heard a murmuration on such a scale you may wonder why they are not called a 'jet engine'.... such is the volume of half a million birds taking off at dawn.

MON 22:00 Sunday Feature (b039p1bz)
Living and Present: Laurie Anderson on Performance Art
Pioneering artist Laurie Anderson traces the roots of performance art - the most daring and popular of contemporary art forms, which blurs the boundaries of art, theatre and dance.
More and more artists are drawing on the live quality of performance in their work: the artist Marina Abramovic was present for three months in New York's Museum of Modern Art for visitors to lock eyes with, silent and motionless; this year's prestigious Venice Biennale Golden Lion prize was given to the performance artist Tino Sehgal; and the newest addition to the Tate are the Tate Tanks, dedicated to Performance art. But what is this transient medium and where has it come from?
Laurie Anderson, famous for bringing her song O Superman to the British pop charts in the 1980s, focuses on this innovative and elusive art form, drawing out the qualities of ritual and gathering, pain and endurance. She turns to the earliest recordings of the Futurist artist, Marinetti's Zang Tumb Tumb, the actions of German artist Joseph Beuys; the influence of John Cage in contrast to the risk of Yoko Ono, the sexual politics of Vito Acconci, the confrontation of the Viennese Actionists or British artist Stuart Brisley's offal bath and the explosive shock of Chris Burden's Shoot.
MON 22:45 The Essay (b03bfm1f)
Praising Powell and Pressburger
The Red Shoes
Continuing the Sound of Cinema season, ballerina, writer and broadcaster Deborah Bull gives a dancer's take on Powell and Pressburger's best-known film, the 1948 classic 'The Red Shoes', starring Moira Shearer, and based on the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairytale.
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, together known as The Archers, were one of the most influential and audacious film-makers of the 1930s and 40s. Their groundbreaking works include: 'The Red Shoes', 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp', 'A Matter of Life and Death' and 'Black Narcissus'.
Writen and read by Deborah Bull. Bull joined The Royal Ballet in 1981 and became a Principal Ballerina in 1992. After her 20-year career in ballet, she went on to become Creative Director of the Royal Opera House, as well as an author and broadcaster. She is currently Director of Cultural Partnerships at King's College, London.

Keys player and electronics expert Dan Nicholls performs an intriguing solo set on a one-of-a-kind instrument - his self-made 'kalimba keyboard', an upsized and amplified thumb piano, manipulated through effects and processing. Plus we've time for some Wedding Music, the title of Kit Downes and Tom Challenger's organ and sax collaboration that explores the subtle nuances of improvised textures, here in the intimate setting of the Cockpit Theatre in Marylebone, London.

Leos Janacek (1854-1928)
A Passionate Nature
One of Janácek's favourite places was the peaceful village of Hukvaldy where he'd been born and where, in 1921, he bought a cottage in which he could compose, away from the hectic life of Brno. Shortly afterwards he began work on the opera in which he was able to combine two of his passions - for the natural world which had always been an essential part of his life, and for Kamila Stösslová, the married woman with whom he became obsessed. Donald Macleod introduces this everyday tale of Vixen Sharp-Ears, and Janácek's next opera, whose enigmatic heroine was also inspired by Kamila. Elina Makropulos has lived for over three centuries and, as the elixir which has kept her alive begins to wear off, she realises that there's only one possible solution to her joyless existence.

As part of the BBC's commitment to developing and nurturing young talent, BBC Radio 3 launched its New Generation Artists scheme in the autumn of 1999. Now well into its second decade, the scheme has acquired the reputation of being a world leader for young artists. Every autumn six to seven artists or groups who are beginning to make a mark on the national and international music scene are invited to join the scheme, which offers them unique opportunities to develop their considerable talents. These include concerts in London and around the UK, appearances and recordings with the BBC Orchestras, special studio recordings for Radio 3, and, last but not least, appearances at the Proms.
Today, a chance to hear from three current members of the scheme: singers Robin Tritschler and Olena Tokar, and New York-based violinist Elena Urioste.

Prom 8: Pet Shop Boys
Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London
Presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch
Better known as the electro-pop duo the Pet Shop Boys, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe make their Proms debut here as composers. The world premiere of their large-scale work A Man from the Future, inspired by code-breaker Alan Turing, sits alongside new orchestral arrangements of favourite Pet Shop Boys songs with legendary vocalist Chrissie Hynde.

Dominic Wheeler (conductor)
The legendary Pet Shop Boys make their Proms debut in this Late Night Prom, joining the BBC Singers and BBC Concert Orchestra for the world premiere of A Man from the Future, a new piece for electronics, orchestra, choir and narrator.
The piece is inspired by the life and work of Alan Turing, who helped break the German Enigma code during the Second World War and formulated the concept of the digital computer, but was prosecuted in 1952 for his homosexuality, receiving a posthumous pardon last year. It comes as a timely homage, 60 years after Turing's death.
The concert also includes new orchestral arrangements by renowned film composer Angelo Badalamenti of five Pet Shop Boys songs chosen by Tennant and Lowe, in which they are joined by Chrissie Hynde, as well as the exuberant overture to their 1991 tour, Performance, heard live in concert for the first time.

Leos Janacek (1854-1928)
Reminiscence
Janácek's 70th birthday was celebrated with concerts in Prague and Brno, the publication of his biography and an Honorary PhD from Brno University, which pleased him most of all.
Donald Macleod introduces two remarkably youthful works Janácek composed around that time - an exuberant wind sextet and a group of choral settings of nonsense rhymes he came across in the children's supplement of his local paper, as well as a rhapsodic piece for cello and piano inspired by a Russian epic poem.

Afternoon on 3 with Verity Sharp
The BBC Symphony Orchestra and Jirí Belohlávek at last night's BBC Proms. Shostakovich's 10th Symphony, Isabelle Faust in Bartok's 2nd Violin Concerto and a John Tavener premiere.
Presented by Penny Gore at the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Tavener: Gnosis (BBC commission; world premiere)

Isabelle Faust (violin)
BBC Symphony Orchestra
Jirí Belohlávek (conductor)
Isabelle Faust's association with Bartók extends back to her very first recording. Now, fresh from an acclaimed disc of both the composer's violin concertos, she joins the BBC SO and Conductor Laureate Jirí Belohlávek for Bartók's Second Violin Concerto. Written under the threat of Fascism, it's a passionate national statement, lively with folk rhythms.
By the early 1950s and Shostakovich's 10th Symphony, threat had become reality. This violent, despairing work paints a vivid portrait of the horrors of Stalin's Russia. The evening opened with the first of two posthumous premieres this season from the late John Tavener - some of the last works from England's great musical mystic. Gnosis, written for mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly with solo alto flute, strings and percussion.
First broadcast 23rd July 2014.

Fear and Trembling in Copenhagen - In Search of Soren Kierkegaard
Nigel Warburton travels to Copenhagen to explore the life and writings of Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard - often called the father of existentialism - in his bicentenary year.
In Denmark today the name Kierkegaard evokes a mix of pride and uncertainty. His mix of earnestness and irony - angst and comedy, influenced many thinkers and writers in the twentieth century: from Wittgenstein, Jean Paul Sartre and W H Auden, to Woody Allen. But he remains difficult to categorise.
His name means 'graveyard' - fitting for a man often referred to as the father of existentialism: now a byword for angst and despair. But Kierkegaard was an eccentric, paradoxical writer, who can be read in many ways. An anti-intellectualist yet profoundly intellectual; deeply Christian but relentlessly critical of the Church; a philosopher, who hated most philosophy, and a poet, some even say a novelist, who never really wrote poems or novels.
On location in Denmark Nigel Warburton travels to his old apartments and walks the streets this eccentric man took his inspiration from. He also visits the cathedral which Kierkegaard spent his last years attacking, and asks what this controversial Christian thinker can offer us in a highly secular age.

Proms 2014 Repeats
Prom 9: Brahms and Janacek
Afternoon on 3 with Verity Sharp
Last night's BBC Prom when the London Symphony Chorus and Orchestra and Valery Gergiev performed Janacek's Glagolitic Mass. And before that, Barry Douglas joined the LSO for Brahms's First Piano Concerto.
Presented by Petroc Trelawny at the Royal Albert Hall, London
Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor
with Barry Douglas (piano)

Mlada Khudoley (soprano)
Yulia Matochkina (mezzo-soprano)
Mikhail Vekua (tenor)
Yuri Vorobiev (bass)
Thomas Trotter (organ)
London Symphony Chorus
London Symphony Orchestra
Valery Gergiev (conductor)
One of choral music's greatest works, Janácek's Glagolitic Mass is a passionate outpouring of love for the world of nature. By contrast, conflict is to the fore in Brahms's Piano Concerto No.1, a work that distils the drama of the composer's relationship with Schumann and his wife Clara. Valery Gergiev conducts the London Symphony Orchestra, with soloist Barry Douglas.
First broadcast 24th July 2014.

FRI 22:45 The Essay (b03bfqnl)
Praising Powell and Pressburger
Black Narcissus
"It is all done by suggestion, but eroticism is in every frame and image from beginning to end. It is a film full of wonderful performances and passion just below the surface, which finally, at the end of the film, erupts", Michael Powell
Continuing the Sound of Cinema season, film critic Peter Bradshaw looks at Powell and Pressburger's sensuous 1947 melodrama, 'Black Narcissus'.
Set in a convent in an isolated Himalayan valley, in which tensions are running high, Black Narcissus was based on the 1939 novel of the same name by Rumer Godden. It stars Deborah Kerr, Kathleen Byron and Jean Simmons, and was described by Michael Powell described as the most erotic film he ever made.
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, together known as The Archers, were one of the most influential and audacious film-makers of the 1930s and 40s. Their groundbreaking works include: 'The Red Shoes', 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp', 'A Matter of Life and Death' and 'Black Narcissus'.
Peter Bradshaw is the Guardian's film critic.
Producer: Justine Willett.
FRI 23:00 World on 3 (b04bf3w8)
WOMAD Live 2014
Mari Boine and Caci Vorba, Commonwealth Connections 25
Lopa Kothari and Mary Ann Kennedy introduce the first of a weekend of broadcasts from the globe's leading festival of world music, live from the festival site in Charlton Park in Wiltshire. Norwegian Sami star Mari Boine is one of the headliners on the Open Air Stage, and Debademba present their 'big family' style of West African music to the WOMAD audience. On the BBC Radio 3 Charlie Gillett Stage, there are UK debuts for Monsieur Doumani from Cyprus, and Polish gypsy band Caci Vorba. Plus interviews and truck sessions, and Commonwealth Connections from India and Nauru, starting off more than eight hours of live broadcasting from WOMAD.
WOMAD LIVE 2014: BBC Radio 3 returns to the world-famous WOMAD festival for a fifteenth year, broadcasting from the Open Air Stage, the Siam Tent and new for this year, the 'BBC Radio 3 Charlie Gillett Stage'. This sees the Radio 3 stage moving to WOMAD's main arena, and to a stage named after a broadcaster who achieved so much for world music over many years, and was one of the original trio of presenters on Radio 3's World on 3.
MUSIC FEATURE: India
Kala Ramnath is one of the leading Hindustani musicians of her generation. Born into a dynasty of violin players who championed the instrument in Indian classical music in the 20th century, Kala has developed the instrument still further with a mixture of traditional and improvisational repertoire. In her home in Mumbai, Kala demonstrates just how closely the violin is modelled on the human voice.
HERITAGE FEATURE: Nauru
Measuring eight square miles with a total coastline of eighteen and a half miles and a population of just over nine thousand, the Pacific island of Nauru is arguably the least populous actual sovereign country in the world, although officially the Vatican State and then Monaco occupy the first and second spots. Situated in Micronesia, Nauru lies 2,800 miles north east of Australia, and used to be called Pleasant Island before independence in 1968. Itte Detenamo is a super heavyweight lifter, and his chosen music is of Nauruan songs composed by Baron Waqa, a songwriter who is currently the nation's President.
