1100 Essential Five – this week we bring you five pieces of music inspired by Autumn.
Donald Macleod and Nicholas Mathew discuss the economy during Beethoven’s lifetime.
Beethoven’s lifetime was one of tumultuous change. In a week of programmes exploring this wider world around Beethoven, Donald Macleod is joined by five guests to discuss some of the various elements which combined to define the spirit of the age – the economy, the wider world of the arts, engineering, medicine and belief.
In today's programme, Donald is joined by Professor Nicholas Mathew – Associate Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, an expert on music and politics in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and author of “Political Beethoven” - to discuss the economy in Vienna and the economy of music during Beethoven’s lifetime.
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.

Fiona Talkington introduces a week of music, recorded at recent sessions and concerts, performed by the BBC Scottish Symphony under a variety of conductors. Today we feature the Overture in E flat by Louise Farrenc, followed by Robert Schumann's Concerto for piano in A minor with soloist Elizabeth Leonskaja; then two Beethoven pieces starting with his Rondo a capriccio, orchestrated by Schulhoff, then his Symphony No. 8 in F major. Next comes the beautiful 'Nozze di Primavera' by the composer, music producer and former head of music at BBC Scotland Martin Dalby. The piece was a wedding gift to his wife and quotes an enchanting ancient wedding hymn. Then three orchestral pieces by Sir Richard Rodney Bennett: Troubadour Music, Aubade and Anniversaries. The afternoon ends with Richard Walthew's Clarinet Concerto with Robert Plane as soloist.
Beethoven: Rondo a capriccio, op.129 (Rage over a lost penny), orch. Schulhoff

Fiona Talkington introduces a recital with the Tallis Scholars, directed by Peter Philips, exploring sacred vocal polyphony before and after the Council of Trent, in mid-16th century, which decreed that clarity of texts was paramount in music, as part of the Counter-Reformation. This recital includes music by Josquin des Prez with its rich textures, the kind of complexity that Trent rejected, followed by works by Palestrina, composed in the new, much simpler style. Recorded at last year's Herne Early Music Days festival, in Germany.
Sean Rafferty talks to soprano Ermonela Jaho about Opera Rara, who are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, and their latest recording Anima Rara. And on what is World Alzheimer’s Day, Mary-Jannet Leith and Thomas Allery from Ensemble Hesperi tell us about their work at Park Avenue Care Home, plus we have an In Tune home session from Sam Lee.
In Tune's specially curated playlist: an eclectic mix of music, including a few surprises. Tonight's offering includes a haunting arrangement of Ravel's Vallee des Cloches by Grainger and Tabakova's Suite in Old Style. Produced by Ellie Mant.
Fiona Talkington introduces a highlight from last year’s Festival season. From the Ascona Music Weeks, in the Swiss town of Locarno on the northern shore of Lake Maggiore, Francesco Piemontesi plays concertos by Haydn and Liszt with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, conducted by Joshua Weilerstein.
Recorded in St Francis Church, Locarno, Switzerland on 18th September 2019, during the Ascona Music Weeks.
Beethoven is a towering figure in classical music, beloved by the musical profession. At the same time, it is important to engage with the full diversity and range of his admirers in the 21st century. This series is not so much a classical examination of Beethoven, but rather an opening out and broader engagement with his work in a very modern context, demonstrating the extraordinary power of his work and its enduring influence.
On the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, an essay series that considers Beethoven now, in a thoroughly contemporary and highly personal context. Five eminent and unexpected thinkers respond to and share their personal interpretation of Beethoven, placing his influence in a modern framework. We invited Inua Ellams, Sophie Stone, Thangam Debbonnaire, Professor Andrew Biswell and Nitin Sawhney to share their kind of Beethoven with Radio 3 listeners. Each Essayist offers a uniquely personal insight into the scope of Beethoven’s work.
What does Beethoven mean to you? We put that very simple question to a wide range of Essayists. The answers are unexpected, entertaining and informative.
Inua has admired Beethoven since childhood and recently wrote a poem about his work. He says:
“I wanted to write about hip hop sampling classical music, loving Fur Elise when I was a kid, and how Beethoven / Piano Concerto No. 5 in E flat major Emperor helped me through a difficult breakup - which gave rise to the poem.”
Born in Nigeria in 1984,, Inau Ellams is an internationally touring poet, playwright, performer, graphic artists and designer. He is an ambassador for the Ministry of Stories and his published books of poetry include Candy Coated Unicorns and Converse All Stars, Thirteen Fairy Negro Tales, the Wire-Haired Heathen, #Afterhours and The Half-God of Rainfall – an epic story in verse. His first play The 14th Tale was awarded a fringe first at the Edinburgh International Festival, and his fourth, Barber Shop Chronicles, sold out two runs at England’s National Theatre and toured the UK. His Three Sisters, set in Nigeria during the late 1960s Biafran succession, was a smash hit at England’s National Theatre in 2019. He toured An Evening with an Immigrant and completed his first full poetry collection The Actual. In graphic art and design, online and in print, he tries to mix the old with the new, juxtaposing texture and pigment with flat shades of colour and vector images. He lives and works from London, where the found the Midnight Run, a nocturnal urban excursion. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

What does Beethoven mean to you? We put that very simple question to a wide range of Essayists. The answers are unexpected, entertaining and informative.
• Sophie Stone – actor
Sophie is deaf, and her interest in Beethoven has a very personal take on creativity – Sophie says:
“…People often talk and think of Beethoven as ‘tormented’ because his late and progressive deafness changed his relationship with music. Losing it later in life teamed with the distance it put between him and his passion must have been an immense thing to come to terms with - but, as we know, his most accomplished works were created during the last fifteen years of his life whilst he was, by that point, profoundly deaf….. he’s an example of how self-acceptance and adapting to your new state of being can bring about a surprisingly joyful and beneficial relationship with the unknown….’
Sophie’s essay considers accessing music as a deaf person and how Beethoven worked with his deafness.
An animated transcript of the audio is available on the programme website, making the essay accessible for Deaf and hard of hearing audience.
Sophie Stone grew up in east London and has been deaf since birth. She took up a place at Rada after the birth of her son Phoenix (to whom she is a single mother).
Since graduating, she has played the role of Kattrin in Mother Courage and Her Children at the National Theatre.
In Spring 2014 she played Agnetha in Bryony Lavery's play Frozen, opening at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre.
In Autumn 2014 she took the leading role in the touring production of Woman of Flowers, a reworking of the Welsh myth of Blodeuwedd by playwright Kaite O'Reilly.
In 2015 she played the role of deaf crew-leader Cass in the Doctor Who episodes "Under the Lake" and "Before the Flood", who communicated entirely in British Sign Language. She played Princess Alice in The Crown.
In 2019, she was part of the critically acclaimed Globe Theatre/West End show, Emelia and played Jacques in the recent As You Like It production at The Globe.

In a week of programmes exploring this wider world around Beethoven, Donald Macleod is joined by five guests to discuss some of the various elements which combined to define the spirit of the age – the economy, the wider world of the arts, engineering, medicine and belief.
In Wednesday’s programme, Donald is joined by Professor of Engineering and the Environment at Cambridge University, Julian Allwood, to explore developments in engineering during Beethoven’s lifetime and how they impacted the day-to-day life of the composer.

Five Kinds of Beethoven
Episode 3
Beethoven is a towering figure in classical music, beloved by the musical profession. At the same time, it is important to engage with the full diversity and range of his admirers in the 21st century. This series is not so much a classical examination of Beethoven, but rather an opening out and broader engagement with his work in a very modern context, demonstrating the extraordinary power of his work and its enduring influence.
On the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, an essay series that considers Beethoven now, in a thoroughly contemporary and highly personal context. Five eminent and unexpected thinkers respond to and share their personal interpretation of Beethoven, placing his influence in a modern framework. We invited Inua Ellams, Sophie Stone, Thangam Debbonnaire, Professor Andrew Biswell and Nitin Sawhney to share their kind of Beethoven with Radio 3 listeners. Each Essayist offers a uniquely personal insight into the scope of Beethoven’s work.
What does Beethoven mean to you? We put that very simple question to a wide range of Essayists. The answers are unexpected, entertaining and informative.
• Nitin Sawhney, composer and musician - The origins, evolution and nature of Beethoven’s genius
Nitin learnt to play Beethoven from an early age and is fascinated by the instinctive and spiritual nature of his genius, comparing it to others whose work blazed a trail in maths, science and visual arts.
Nitin Sawhney is one of the most distinctive and versatile musical voices around
today, achieving an international reputation across every possible creative medium.
In 2017 he received the Ivor Novello Lifetime Achievement award, and is firmly established as a world-class producer, songwriter, DJ, multi-instrumentalist, orchestral composer and cultural pioneer.
Most recently, Nitin has been appointed Chair of Trustees for PRS Foundation, the UK’s leading charitable funder of new music and talent development.
Sawhney has become a modern-day Renaissance man in the worlds of music, film, videogames, dance and theatre.
His endless creative curiosity makes him a formidable polymath across the whole artistic range of media associated with the music industry.
With over 20 studio albums to his name, including solo albums, film soundtracks and compilations, he has received a substantial wealth of major national and international awards for the work.
In 2018 Sawhney completed the entire composition of Warner Bros / Netflix epic film ‘Mowgli’ which had its world premiere at the end of 2018.

Opera matinée - Gounod's Faust
Hannah French introduces a recording made in 2014 at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, of Gounod's Faust, once one of the most famous and most performed operas. Based on Goethe's dramatic poem, it's a tale of romance, temptation and tragedy, and the clash between religion and satanic powers. Faust, sung by the Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja, has become bored with life and its limitations, and makes a pact with the Devil, represented by Méphistophélès, baritone Bryn Terfel: the Devil promises that he will satisfy Faust's hedonistic requests in exchange for his soul. Gounod's Faust contains many musical highlights including the Soldiers' Chorus, and Marguerite's stunning Jewel Song - sung tonight by soprano Sonya Yoncheva. The Orchestra and Chorus of the Royal Opera House are conducted by Maurizio Benini.

He discusses the contradictions at the heart of philanthropy from the Greeks to modern philanthrocapitalists - and how philanthropy might still do good.

Professor Andrew Biswell explores the fascinating connection between Anthony Burgess and Beethoven, Burgess wrote several pieces inspired by Beethoven, including using Eroica as the framework for his epic novel and drama about Napoleon Symphony. The drama, Napoleon Rising, had its world premiere on Radio 3 in 2012. Burgess wrote an unproduced screenplay about Beethoven’s early life and in1991, delivered a speech on the composer’s nine symphonies on BBC Radio 3. His close artistic identification with the composer and fascination with his personality traits informed a great deal of his work.
Andrew Biswell is the biographer of Anthony Burgess and director of the International Anthony Burgess Foundation, which he set up in 2003 at the behest of the author’s late widow Liana. The IABF occupies the light-filled Engine House in Chorlton Mill, where it hosts a variety of events – readings, book launches, performances, discussions – as well as tours of the archive and usage of the reading room.
Andrew Biswell was made Professor of Modern Literature in the Department of English at Manchester Metropolitan University in June 2013 having previously held the positions of Lecturer, then Principal Lecturer, in English and Creative Writing, and Academic Director of the Manchester Writing School.

Beethoven Unleashed: Spirit of the Age
Legacy and Belief
Donald Macleod is joined by Dr Aakanksha Virkar Yates to explore Beethoven and belief.
Beethoven’s lifetime was one of tumultuous change. In a week of programmes exploring this wider world around Beethoven, Donald Macleod is joined by five guests to discuss some of the various elements which combined to define the spirit of the age – the economy, the wider world of the arts, engineering, medicine and belief.
In Thursday’s programme, Donald is joined by Dr Aakanksha Virkar Yates, expert in British literature of the late-19th and 20th centuries and senior lecturer at the University of Brighton to explore Beethoven and belief, the composer’s legacy and how much of that was shaped by retrospective romantic impressions of the composer.
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.

Five Kinds of Beethoven
Episode 5
Beethoven is a towering figure in classical music, beloved by the musical profession. At the same time, it is important to engage with the full diversity and range of his admirers in the 21st century. This series is not so much a classical examination of Beethoven, but rather an opening out and broader engagement with his work in a very modern context, demonstrating the extraordinary power of his work and its enduring influence.
On the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, an essay series that considers Beethoven now, in a thoroughly contemporary and highly personal context. Five eminent and unexpected thinkers respond to and share their personal interpretation of Beethoven, placing his influence in a modern framework. We invited Inua Ellams, Sophie Stone, Thangam Debbonnaire, Professor Andrew Biswell and Nitin Sawhney to share their kind of Beethoven with Radio 3 listeners. Each Essayist offers a uniquely personal insight into the scope of Beethoven’s work.
What does Beethoven mean to you? We put that very simple question to a wide range of Essayists. The answers are unexpected, entertaining and informative.
• Thangam Debbonaire MP
Thangam plays with Parliamentary string quartet 'The Statutory Instruments' – they are currently learning Opus 18 No 1. Beethoven’s A major cello sonata has particular emotional links, as Thangam and her mum play it as their party piece. She has loved the string quartets from a young age and grew to love the symphonies whilst she had cancer a few years back.
Thangam Debbonaire became the Member of Parliament for the Bristol West constituency in May 2015. She won the seat again in the December 2019 election with a vote of 47,028 – the highest of any constituency in the UK. Thangam started out as a professional cellist, but for the 25 years before she became an MP, her main focus was working locally, nationally and internationally to end domestic violence. She moved to Bristol to be Women’s Aid’s first ever National Children’s Officer, setting up support projects in refuges across the UK for children. After diagnosis in June 2015, Thangam received treatment for breast cancer over the rest of 2015.
She was Shadow Minister for Culture, Media and Sport between January 2016 and June 2016; and in October 2016 was appointed a Labour Whip – a role she held until early 2020.
From January to April 2020 Thangam was shadow minister for the Department for Exiting the European Union. Since April 2020, she has held the position of shadow Secretary of State for Housing and Homelessness.

ZULI’s Mixtape
Jennifer Lucy Allan presents a 30-minute mixtape compiled by the genre-bending Egyptian producer ZULI, who shines a light on some of the best adventurous music to come out of Cairo in recent years.
Ahmed El Ghazoly, aka ZULI, produces music at the intersection of techno, jungle, grime and hip hop. His release Trigger Finger was born out of collaboration with the Egyptian rap scene, contorting hip hop into fractured new forms. As the co-founder of club night VENT and live series irsh, he’s continually bringing the Cairo scene to wider attention. For this mixtape he weaves Egyptian music old and new with his own field recordings and other curve balls from his collection.
Elsewhere we feature tactile interrogations of raw instrument sounds by composer Sarah Hennies, 1980s lovers’ rock from Sugar Minott and hear from pioneering ambient composer and transgender activist Beverley Glenn-Copeland about his first album in 15 years.
Produced by Alannah Chance.
A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3.
