My favourite... rondos. Rob shares his favourite rondos, a musical form which is characterised by a recurring theme, with examples ranging from Beethoven's madcap Rage Over A Lost Penny and Saint-Saëns's show-stopping Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso to the more reflective Rondo in A minor, K.511 by Mozart and evergreen examples by Schubert and Dvorak. The line-up features performances by Mitsuko Uchida, Paul Tortelier, Gidon Kremer, Valentina Lisitsa and Jascha Heifetz.
Take part in today's challenge: listen to the clues and identify the mystery music-related place.
Rob's guest is the thriller writer Lee Child. Best known as the creator of the ex-military drifter, Jack Reacher, Lee Child is one of the world's leading thriller writers. His books consistently make number one in the hardback and paperback bestseller lists on both sides of the Atlantic and are translated into forty languages. He recently won the CWA's Diamond Dagger for a writer of an outstanding body of crime fiction. Lee will be sharing a selection of his favourite classical music, including works by Hildegard of Bingen, Delibes and Beethoven, every day at
Rob features a piece from the BBC4 series Revolution & Romance: Musical Masters of the 19th century. He explores Verdi's Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves from Nabucco - the Italian composer's anthem to freedom.
Rob's artist of the week is Vladimir Horowitz, a pianist who could make a piano sound like an orchestra. Rob delves into the archives of this internationally renowned pianist, sharing recordings including his performance of Chopin's Funeral March Sonata, Fauré's crystalline and plangent Nocturne No.13, Liszt's foreboding portrayal of Oberman's Valley from his Années de Pélèrinage, and his virtuosic treatment of melodies from Bizet's Carmen.
The story of the Waltz Kings: today Donald Macleod examines the turbulent relationship of Strauss father and son, their musical rivalry, and their involvement in the revolutions of 1848.
The Strauss family was never a model of happy cohesion: Johann the Elder forbade the son from following him into the profession, but the encouragement of his neglected mother led Johann the Younger to ignore his father's disapproval and forge his own path as composer and performer. Bitterness ensued, and acquired a political edge during the 1848 revolutions. Johann Vater was very much an establishment figure, deeply embedded with the unfashionable ancien regime, and he wrote unashamedly bombastic music supporting the conservative cause. His son however took sides with the trendy young rebels, and family peace only came with Johann senior's death.
John Toal introduces the first of four programmes from Northern Ireland's newest arts and heritage centre. Portico, situated in the heart of Portaferry on the Upper Ards Peninsula, is a Grade-A listed Greek Revival Temple which has just undergone a £1.5 million restoration. While the building continues to be used by the local Presbyterian congregation, it has now become a resource for the whole community to use.
Today's programme features Irish pianist Finghin Collins, Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Armida Quartet, and the 2009 winner of the Kathleen Ferrier Competition, soprano Sarah-Jane Brandon, in works by Bach, Mozart and Richard Strauss.

Plus composer Neil Martin joins us from Belfast to talk about his new opera for the city, Long Story Short: The Belfast Opera.
The Marian Consort and the Berkeley Ensemble combine to perform 20th- and 21st-century works inspired by the Virgin Mary in Shoreditch Church, as part of the 2016 Spitalfields Festival. The concert culminates with a rare performance of Lennox Berkeley's Stabat Mater of 1947.

Joanna Robertson is a journalist and mother who has lived in five foreign countries, where she has observed that local shopping habits tell you a lot about the place. In these Essays, she argues that when people go shopping, they don't just purchase goods, they also buy into something else. Joanna Robertson takes us shopping with the locals and explores these ulterior motives and what they reveal about the residents of five cities: Rome, New York, Berlin, Tirana and Joanna's current home, Paris.
Thus book-shopping in New York is also about intellectual validation - or, as Joanna found when shopping for books with the late Susan Sontag, about building intellectual bridges to Europe.
Adventures in music, ancient to future: Nick Luscombe combs through the incredible record collection of Ilan Volkov.

Johann Strauss I and II
Having a Ball
The story of the Waltz Kings: today Donald Macleod relishes the highly productive, joyous decade in which Strauss II's waltzes transcended their original function to become grand concert works.
The 1860s were a glorious ten years in which Johann Strauss II produced some of his most remarkable music, transforming the waltz he'd inherited from his father from a more civilised version of a country dance, into a highly sophisticated concert piece with endlessly long phrases, depth, and complexity: music which has stood the test of time and is an enduring part of Vienna's cultural heritage.

WED 22:45 The Essay (b07f6r7f)
The Shopping News
Berlin
Joanna Robertson is a journalist and mother who has lived in five foreign countries, where she has observed that local shopping habits tell you a lot about the place. In these Essays, she argues that when people go shopping, they don't just purchase goods, they also buy into something else. Joanna Robertson takes us shopping with the locals and explores these ulterior motives and what they reveal about the residents of five cities: Rome, New York, Berlin, Tirana and Joanna's current home, Paris.
In this edition, she finds that shopping for toys in Berlin reveals an attitude to childhood and nature that's unique to Germany. Germany's concept of nature is deeply rooted in the concepts of nineteenth-century German Romanticism, which in turn is reflected in German toys, and childhood. The child is the Wanderer, journeying through the boundless realms of creativity and dreams, close to the beauty, teachings and wonders of Nature. It's a childhood of great freedom, and responsibility.

Johann Strauss I and II
On the Stage
The story of the Waltz Kings: today Donald Macleod explores Johann II's move away from the dance hall to write a stream of operettas, most of which are now forgotten.
It was Johann Strauss II's wife who first twisted his arm to get him writing for the stage. Relieving himself of relentless waltz-conducting duties, Strauss now became converted to the art form and in the 1870s and 1880s turned out a string of operetta hits, most of which are now forgotten. The great exceptions are Die Fledermaus and Zigeunerbaron.

The Shopping News
Tirana
Joanna Robertson is a journalist and mother who has lived in five foreign countries, where she has observed that local shopping habits tell you a lot about the place. In these Essays, she argues that when people go shopping, they don't just purchase goods, they also buy into something else. Joanna Robertson takes us shopping and explores these ulterior motives and what they reveal about the residents of five cities: Rome, New York, Berlin, Tirana and Joanna's current home, Paris.
In Tirana, after the fall of Communism, people dream of buying luxuries and achieving the kind of wealth they've seen on Italian TV. They buy and sell what they can, and are inventive about ways to make money, particularly in the main square. Someone takes their bathroom scales and charges customers ten lek a go to weigh themselves. Whole families come and see it as a treat. But when virtually the entire nation tries to finance its dreams of wealth through pyramid schemes, the dreams turn into nightmares. In the town of Gramsh, virtually all that remains for sale - are guns.

Johann Strauss I and II
German Emperor
The story of the Waltz Kings: today Donald Macleod finds out how Strauss II, Austrian national hero enjoying the adulation of Europe, became a German citizen. Unknown to Strauss, the Nazis would later "alter" his ancestry.
In order to marry his third wife, Strauss converted to Protestantism and became a German citizen. He still longed to write a "serious" comic opera, but accolades from across the globe poured in as Vienna celebrated the anniversary of the first performance of its favoured son. In a bizarre twist of history however, Strauss's ancestry would later be falsely doctored by the Nazis.

Berg: Three Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 6
BBC Symphony Orchestra
Oliver Knussen (conductor)
It's almost impossible to listen to Butterworth and Berg without our knowledge of things to come. Is the Englishman's dreamily alluring orchestral rhapsody of 1912 an eerie foreboding of his own death in World War I? Is the shrill, titanic tussle of of the march which concludes Berg's Three pieces for Orchestra, written 1913-15, a premonition of the impending cataclysm? There are other influences - the poignancy of A.E. Housman's elegiac poems, the unmistakable imprint of Mahler on Berg's giant canvas. And the imaginative use of the orchestra - as shared by Elgar orchestrating Bach, Charlotte Bray, and Gary Carpenter.

Gemma Ray is a singer-songwriter who will be performing songs from her new album 'The Exodus Suite'.

The Shopping News: Paris
Joanna Robertson is a journalist and mother who has lived in five foreign countries, where she has observed that local shopping habits tell you a lot about the place. In these Essays, she argues that when people go shopping, they don't just purchase goods, they also buy into something else. Joanna Robertson takes us shopping with the locals and explores these ulterior motives and what they reveal about the residents of five cities: Rome, New York, Berlin, Tirana and Joanna's current home, Paris.
When Parisians shop for, or sell, traditional, locally produced high-quality food, it's not just because they revere it, but also because it's part of a deeply entrenched culture that dates back to the nineteenth century. Owners of specialist food shops like Madame Acabo and her to-die-for chocolates are the heirs of key individuals like the lawyer, politician and gastronome of genius, Brillat-Savarin (whose Physiology of Taste, published in 1825, has never been out of print), and the aristocrat Grimod de la ReyniÃre who wrote not only gastronomic almanacs and journals, but also reviews of the new phenomenon called "le restaurant" - one of which, a very successful one using only locally sourced ingredients, he set up himself.
