Another chance to hear Jeremy Summerly discussing the available recordings of Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms and making a recommendation.
A choral symphony from the composer's 'neoclassical' period, Stravinsky's compact, three-movement work has been fortunate on record with a wide range of interpretations from all round the world. It inhabits a unique sound world, omitting as it does clarinets, violins and violas, and comparisons are guaranteed to be fascinating.

Jess Gillam with... Anne Denholm
Jess Gillam talks to harpist Anne Denholm about the music they love. With epic Finnish grandeur from Sibelius and Rautavaara, a genre-blurring concerto by Gabriel Prokofiev and the simple beauty of Carole King’s You’ve Got a Friend.

Composer of the ‘NHS Symphony’ and the ‘M1 Symphony’ Alex Woolf finds music going to places you might not expect in today’s Inside Music. He discovers a mix of old and new in both Mozart’s Requiem and ‘Motion’ by Nico Muhly, and muses on the power of a single unbroken musical line in Oliver Knussen’s violin concerto.
He also reveals the unlikely but magical combination of four bassoons and soprano in a serenely beautiful aria by Rameau, and decides that Beethoven would have probably preferred people not to analyse his music too much, but just be taken over by the drama.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
Jessica Curry with a special edition of Sound of Gaming looking at video game music on vinyl, including a special report from Newcastle vinyl store 'Chipfreq' plus chiptune and chat from composer Chipzel.
Kathryn Tickell is joined today by the New York-based musician Amino Belyamani of the group Dawn of Midi, whose new online project Moroccan Tapes is a platform for rare historical recordings from Morocco, many of which have only been released locally on cassette. This week's Classic Artist is Thomas Mapfumo, today marking the 40th anniversary of Zimbabwe's independence. Plus we have the latest new releases including music by Martin Buscaglia (Uruguay), Jeich Ould Badou (Mauritania) and Fra Fra (Ghana).
Kevin Le Gendre presents jazz to lift the spirits, recording from his front room. This week’s featured concert comes from trumpeter Theo Croker, a rising US star whose latest album, Star People Nation, was one of the highlights of 2019. As the grandson of venerable trumpeter Doc Cheatham and a student of the great Donald Byrd, Croker has an impressive jazz pedigree, but he’s equally at home in the world of hip hop and has worked with superstar rappers Common and J. Cole.
Verdi's dark drama of political intrigue is a story of simmering, long-held resentment that finally resolves into forgiveness and reconciliation. Set in 14th Century Genoa, it tells of a great sea-going hero who reluctantly accepts high office; and who late in life discovers the long-lost daughter who had disappeared years ago. It is one of Verdi's great portrayals of the father-daughter relationship, and the score often glitters with Italian light to offset the dark colours of revenge. Verdi revisited the work in the years of his maturity and transformed the white-hot melodrama into an opera full of subtlety and wisdom that foreshadows his late masterpieces. Carlos Alvarez stars in this production from the Royal Opera House, London.
Tom Service presents the latest in new music in a show which ranges from the multi-layered electro-acoustic music of New York sound artist Fred Szymanski via the cool, interlocking textures of Lithuanian-born Egidija Medeksaite, to the premiere performance of a major orchestral work by Bent Sørensen which has been occupying him for many years.

Sarah Walker with an energising musical mix
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Sarah finds humour in a ballet by Vincenzo Tommasini, with some cheekiness from the harpsichord, plays a piece which was inspired by a cycling trip in the Algerian desert and reflects on the hypnotic contemplation of Tallis’s Videte miraculum.
She also features the exhilarating Quintet for piano and winds by Mozart, and Bach’s majestic B minor mass.
Plus a melancholic lament, played by Sam Sweeney on the violin, and a harp being played in a way you may never have heard before.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (m000cp13)
Darcey Bussell
Darcey Bussell became principal dancer of the Royal Ballet at the age of only twenty; she went on to become a household name thanks to her seven years as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing, a job she unexpectedly stepped down from earlier this year.
In conversation with Michael Berkeley, she looks back at a career which started when, against the wishes of her mother, she went to ballet school at thirteen – and was desperately unhappy, thinking she’d made the worst mistake of her life. Alone, away from her family, she used to listen to Mozart’s Requiem again and again. She had little hope of becoming a star ballerina as she was “too tall” at five foot seven, and “not British-looking”; what this amounted to is that most British male dancers were not tall enough to partner her. But then she met choreographer Kenneth Macmillan, and he saw her potential. She reflects candidly on the “disciplines and sacrifices” of a life devoted to dance: the long hours training, dancing till your stamina runs out and you literally can’t feel your legs. Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty pushed her to the limit. She reveals how becoming a judge on Strictly gave her new confidence to speak in public for the first time and why she doesn’t mind being labelled as the judge who was “too nice”. She talks too about creating a new post-performance life out of the glare of the public eye, her mission to bring dance to all schoolchildren, about injuries and the battle for fitness, and about the toll dancing has taken on her feet.
Her music choices range from the intensely serious – Stravinsky's 'Agon, Poulenc's Gloria, the Mozart and Faure Requiems - to Dinah Washington’s “Mad about the Boy” and “Roxanne” by The Police.

SUN 13:00 Liam Byrne's String Theories (m000hgqp)
Bounce and shimmer
Viola da gamba player Liam Byrne shares his favourite music for string instruments across a range of genres and time periods, drawing out threads of connection where we don’t usually expect to find them. Liam’s work as a performer encompasses everything from Renaissance to folk music, exploratory electronics and noise but it’s the similarities between these worlds that he finds most interesting.
Episode two focuses on pieces that bounce and shimmer, two actions that come naturally to a system of strings, wood and hair under tension. Liam searches out the percussive gestures, short springy bow strokes and light bubbly effervescence of his favourite players including the powerful ricochets of Barry Guy’s double bass and the virtuosic fluidity of the Indian Carnatic violin player Gopalakrishnan.

Lisztomania
Tom takes a deep drive into the music of Franz Liszt, celebrated, and sometimes denigrated, for his ultra-virtuosity. Tom is joined by former Radio 3 New Generation Artist Mariam Batsashvili who plays some of her favourite moments of Liszt at the piano, and explains why Liszt has always held a special place in her heart. From struggling with being the first world-famous musician, to pre-empting the likes of Wagner and Schoenberg, Tom explores the surprising and conflicting role Liszt played on the musical stage.

SUN 18:45 Give Me Space Below My Feet (b096g27p)
Is it possible to take the legendary climber 93-year-old Gwen Moffat back up into the mountains? Gwen was Britain's first ever female mountain guide and only gave up scaling peaks in her eighties, but set us a challenge: to give her the sensation of climbing once again, from the comfort of her armchair.
In a new poetry commission, Helen Mort attempts to do so by weaving Gwen's memories with an original poem and binaural recordings she made of a climb in Langdale in the Lake District.
Binaural stereo allows you to enter a three-dimensional world. It is an immersive experience which allows you to hear, exactly as Helen did on her climb, the wind whistling past her ears as she teeters on the rock face.
So put on your earphones for the full effect and don't look down as we attempt to transport Gwen back to her heady days of adventure and freedom. Can we give her the feeling of... space below her feet?

New Generation Thinkers: Short Feature
Susan Greaney and the Jomon Connection.
Archeologist Susan Greaney has spent much of her life studying the Neolithic monuments of the British isles, including Stonehenge. As part of her role at English Heritage she was invited recently to travel to Japan to see what was happening there at much the same time that the massive stones were being assembled on the high ground in Wiltshire. In this programme Susan reports from three sites in northern Japan were the ancient Jomon civilisations also turned to stones, gathered and shaped in circular formations, for what appear to have been ritual ceremonies. That, half a world away, two peoples should have sought to reflect and respond to nature in this way is astonishing and Susan's knowledge of the ancient past here inspires a new fascination for the sophistication of Japan's ancient history and the relative wealth of material, in the form of pottery and traces of domestic life, that are to be found in these old Jomon sites.
Susan Greaney draws parallels and makes connections between the Neolithic peoples of Britain and the ancient Jomon civilisation of Japan, both of whom used circles of stone in ritual celebrations.

Beethoven Unleashed: Fate
Putting on a Show
After years of peddling his talents to Vienna’s music loving aristocrats, Beethoven prepares to launch his music to the wider public. It’s a move that could make or break his reputation.
All this week, Donald Macleod traces Beethoven’s story through the years 1799-1801. As he reaches his thirtieth birthday, we see Beethoven finally emerging as a mature composer and beginning to produce the enduring works that will mark him out as one of the great artists of his age. But there are clouds on the horizon too, and we see the first intimations of a serious problem with his hearing.
Composer of the Week is returning to the story of Beethoven’s life and music throughout 2020. Part of Radio 3’s Beethoven Unleashed season marking the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth.

Chamber Orchestra of Europe
Fiona Talkington presents a concert given by the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and conductor Antonio Pappano in Friedrichshafen last June.
The concert begins with Wagner's love-song for his second wife, Cosima - Siegfried Idyll. Wagner composed the piece as a birthday present for her after the birth of their son Siegfried in 1869. It was first performed on Christmas morning the next year by a small ensemble of musicians on the stairs of their Swiss villa. It's said that Cosima awoke to its opening melody. Awwwww....
The orchestra is then joined by Dutch violinist Janine Jansen for a performance of Karol Szymanowski's Violin Concerto No.1 - considered one of the very first modern violin concertos. It rejects traditional tonality and romantic aesthetics. Composed in 1916, the likely inspiration for the piece was "Noc Majowa", a poem by the Polish poet Tadeusz Miciński. Although the concerto doesn't follow or duplicate the poem, Szymanowski's ecstatic, sumptuous music is an ideal companion to Miciński's language:
"All the birds pay tribute to me
for today I wed a goddess.
And now we stand by the lake in crimson blossom
in flowing tears of joy, with rapture and fear,
burning in amorous conflagration."
During the interval we'll hear Nadia Boulanger's 1909 song-cycle "Les Heures claires" sung by mezzo-soprano Melinda Paulson with pianist Angela Gassenhuber.
In the second half of the concert, the orchestra plays Dvorak's second set of Slavonic Dances, Op.72. These lively pieces, are full of national character and really helped put Dvorak's name on the musical map. Contrary to what the title, the dances are not so much inspired by Slavic folk music as such, but rather by styles and forms from Bohemia.
To end the programme, we'll hear Swedish trombone virtuoso Christian Lindberg in a recording of Gordon Jacob's Trombone Concerto, with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by Grant Llewellyn.

MON 22:45 The Essay (b0b1psj8)
Migrants
Survival
Musician, broadcaster and birdwatcher Tom McKinney reads Survival, his opening essay on bird migration and its fascination for bird lovers. Why do birds migrate? Why are some birds sedentary, moving only tiny distances throughout their entire life, and others willing to embark on such long journeys that involve enormously high levels of risk? In this series Tom considers the ways in which he has been affected by the sounds of birds and their astonishing annual migratory journeys.
In his first essay, Tom describes 'fall-out' - the mass arrival of tiny songbirds each year on the Texan Gulf coast. One of the most spectacular places to witness this phenomenon each April is at High Island near Galveston. Good habitat for food and shelter is sparse and in a bad year, hundreds of thousands of birds can die from exhaustion and dehydration.

Beethoven Unleashed: Fate
The Art of the Deal
Beethoven was determined to turn his back on the creative restrictions that came with a salaried post, in the service of one of the royal courts or the church; but if he was to survive as a freelance composer he would have to learn to be a businessman as well as an artist.
All this week, Donald Macleod traces Beethoven’s story through the years 1799-1801. As he reaches his thirtieth birthday, we see Beethoven finally emerging as a mature composer and beginning to produce the enduring works that will mark him out as one of the great artists of his age. But there are clouds on the horizon too, and we see the first intimations of a serious problem with his hearing.

TUE 22:45 The Essay (b0b1pyn6)
Migrants
Adventure
Musician, broadcaster and birdwatcher Tom McKinney reads Adventure, the next in his series of essays on bird migration and its fascination for bird lovers. Why do birds migrate? Why are some birds sedentary, moving only tiny distances throughout their entire life, and others willing to embark on such long journeys that involve enormously high levels of risk? In this series Tom considers the ways in which he has been affected by the sounds of birds and their astonishing annual migratory journeys.
Tom discusses 'sea-watching' in Cornwall: a form of Zen-birding in which days can be spent gazing through a telescope and seeing very little. He reflects on the spectacular and nonsensical migration of Sooty Shearwaters.

Beethoven Unleashed: Fate
Creeping Catastrophe
Beethoven writes to his best friend to tell him a terrible secret; his hearing has been slowly deteriorating and he fears his career may be cut short before it’s barely begun.
All this week, Donald Macleod traces Beethoven’s story through the years 1799-1801. As he reaches his thirtieth birthday, we see Beethoven finally emerging as a mature composer and beginning to produce the enduring works that will mark him out as one of the great artists of his age. But there are clouds on the horizon too, and we see the first intimations of a serious problem with his hearing.
Composer of the Week is returning to the story of Beethoven’s life and music throughout 2020. Part of Radio 3’s Beethoven Unleashed season marking the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth.

To the memory of an angel
Recorded at the Royal Festival Hall, London, in February 2017
Presented by Martin Handley
The London Philharmonic Orchestra perform Berg, Denisov and Shostakovich.
Edison Denisov: Symphony No.2
Berg: Violin Concerto
8.20: Interval
Shostakovich: Symphony No.15
Patricia Kopatchinskaja, violin
London Philharmonic Orchestra
Vladimir Jurowski, conductor
Berg dedicated his Violin Concerto 'to the memory of an angel', and a bottomless depth of personal loss lies beneath its gorgeous colours. Patricia Kopatchinskaja performs it between two final symphonies by two Soviet composers. Shostakovich's Fifteenth Symphony cloaks its sorrows in jokes, enigmas and pitch-black humour; two decades later, his friend Edison Denisov said farewell in a poignant, fantastical Second Symphony of his own. This is a rare British performance of a work that is close to Vladimir Jurowski's heart.

The library houses Britain's most important Shakespeare collection, comprising 43,000 volumes, including a copy of the First Folio 1623. Over three years, the Everything to Everybody project aims to share these cultural riches with the people of Birmingham in a wide range of imaginative ways.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (m000hhpf)
Beethoven Unleashed: Fate
Public Statements and Private Visions
Up to now Beethoven had used his musical talents to win the favour of the wealthiest music patrons in Vienna, to charm the public who attended his concerts, and to reel in customers for his publications. He’s beginning to see now that his musical path could take him on a very personal journey too. His new challenge is to work out what kind of artist he really wants to be.
All this week, Donald Macleod traces Beethoven’s story through the years 1799-1801. As he reaches his thirtieth birthday, we see Beethoven finally emerging as a mature composer and beginning to produce the enduring works that will mark him out as one of the great artists of his age. But there are clouds on the horizon too, and we see the first intimations of a serious problem with his hearing.
Composer of the Week is returning to the story of Beethoven’s life and music throughout 2020. Part of Radio 3’s Beethoven Unleashed season marking the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth.

They are joined by pianist Charles Owen to perform music by Beethoven that pitches a flamboyant piano part alongside richly inventive writing for oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon.

FRI 19:30 Radio 3 in Concert (m000hhpp)
Beamish and Beethoven
The Elias Quartet play Beethoven and Sally Beamish. Beamish's 3rd String Quartet 'Reed Stanzas' was inspired partly by the Elias Quartet's Donald Grant who doubles as a Scottish fiddle player, and also by bird calls and the landscapes of Suffolk and Harris. Beethoven is on either side of the Beamish. At the turn of the 18th century, with the first of his earliest set of quartets, Op.18, Beethoven threw down the gauntlet to Haydn, the string quartet's inventor and preeminent composer; less than a decade later, with his three 'Razumovsky' quartets, Beethoven had become the acclaimed and undisputed master of the genre.
Another chance to hear this concert recorded last September at Kings Place, and presented by Ian Skelly.

FRI 22:45 The Essay (b0b1q3f0)
Migrants
Obsession
Musician, broadcaster and birdwatcher Tom McKinney reads Obsession, the final essay in his series on bird migration. Why do birds migrate? Why are some birds sedentary, moving only tiny distances throughout their entire life, and others willing to embark on such long journeys that involve enormously high levels of risk? In this series Tom considers how he has been affected by the sounds of birds and by his observations of their astonishing annual migratory journeys.
In this last essay, Tom discusses how his passion for birdwatching helped him through a dark period in his life.
Producer: Melanie Harris
FRI 23:00 Late Junction (m000hhpt)
Music for daydreams
Have we lost the art of doing nothing? We live in a world that reveres the busy and productive, but what about the daydreamers and the dropouts? While many of us are forced to redraw our daily routines, we pause to ask how music can help us discover a different internal rhythm and question how we think about purpose. The writer and psychoanalyst Josh Cohen joins us to discuss the importance of music that slackens the pace, attuning us to slower, more drifting states of mind - boredom, weariness, ‘infinite languor’ and pure consciousness.
Elsewhere we float down stream with Australian composer Tilman Robinson’s sonic reflections on the anthropocene, a new release from Russian artist Kate NV and the sound of metallic objects pulled into focus by Electric Indigo, founder of female: pressure, an international platform for female, transgender and non-binary artists involved in electronic music.
Produced by Alannah Chance.
A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3.
