Mozart's Quintet for Piano and Wind in Building a Library with Iain Burnside and Andrew McGregor
Building a Library: Iain Burnside on Mozart Quintet in E flat for Piano & Winds K452
Mozart wrote his famous Quintet in E flat major for Piano and Winds in 1784 and it was premiered at the Imperial and Royal National Court Theater in Vienna. Shortly afterwards, Mozart wrote to his father: "I myself consider it to be the best thing I have written in my life." It is scored for piano, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon. And most people seem to agree with the composer that it is indeed one of his best pieces - with its amazing wind-writing and life-enhancing energy

As the American composer Caroline Shaw releases Let the Soil Play Its Simple Part - her first solo vocal album, with Sō Percussion - she talks to presenter Tom Service about her approach to music. With its roots in childhood, playing violin to her father's medical patients nearing the end of their lives, to the music of the past she loves, Shaw's generous attitude as a composer and collaborator results in music which is to be shared, and which resonates with our life experiences.
From Silence: Finding Calm in a Dissonant World is the Austrian conductor Franz Welser-Möst's autobiography, recently translated into English. In it, he writes about the car accident that changed his life as an 18-year old, pointing him towards conducting and a life-long search for silence and meaning in his musical life. From his home on the shores of the Attersee, Welser-Möst reflects on the lasting impact of this experience, on the self-described failure of his years with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and his successful tenure with the Cleveland Orchestra, and explains his criticisms of today's classical music industry.
The Ireland-based analogue record producer and engineer Julie Mclarnon responds to one of the chapters in Welser-Möst's book, In Praise of Boredom, having recently made a documentary The Psychology of Analogue, exploring how reductions in data and visual stimuli can lead to improved creativity in music.
And the Welsh conductor Grant Llewellyn, who experienced a stroke last year which threatened to end his career in music.

Sir Mark Elder has been music director of the Hallé Orchestra since 2000, and has conducted many of the world’s leading orchestras and opera companies.
Today, Sir Mark challenges you to conduct along with Stravinsky’s Soldier’s Tale, and plays a passage from a Rossini opera that he thinks could be the starting point for a whole new Olympic discipline.
He also recommends submitting to the emotional intensity of Wagner, and muses on the impact of listening to Mahler’s Third Symphony live for the first time - hearing the delicate lines of the orchestra evaporating at the end of the second movement ‘like blowing on a dandelion’.

Alastair Campbell
For almost a decade, Alastair Campbell was Tony Blair’s right-hand man, first as Press Secretary and then as Downing Street Director of Communications. He was at the heart of power through the Good Friday Agreement, the 9/11 attacks and the Iraq War, which involved him in the greatest controversy. These days he’s a writer and mental health campaigner, and he’s recently published a very frank book, “Living Better: How I learned to survive depression”.
In conversation with Michael Berkeley, Alastair Campbell talks about how music helps him manage depression, and reveals his lifelong passion for the bagpipes. His father, who was from the Hebrides, played, and he and his brother Donald learned as boys. Donald was diagnosed with schizophrenia when Alastair was only nineteen: “a defining event in my life”. Donald left Alastair his bagpipes when he died, too young; and he also left recordings of himself playing – one of which we hear in the programme. Alastair himself played the pipes as a busker in the South of France as a student, where he discovered a lifelong musical passion for the songs of Jacques Brel.
Other music choices include Mozart, Schubert, and Verdi’s famous drinking song from La Traviata. Alcohol has played a major role in Campbell’s life, and he talks about being drawn to the “drinking cultures” of both piping and politics. In fact, he says, it is not alcohol but politics – and his need to be needed by people in power – which is his real “demon”. He discusses too his inability to retire, his hatred of domesticity, particularly shopping with his partner Fiona, and why the satirical series “The Thick of It” is in some ways very close to the bone.

Money Makes the Music Go Round
What have the Pet Shop Boys and Prokofiev got in common? How can you sing about not wanting money at the same time as making it? What does it feel like to burn a million pounds? Tom Service explores how our transactional economy underpins centuries of music making from Notre-Dame’s patronage of the polyphonic Perotin, to Beethoven writing a symphony for £100 and Wagner losing over a million on the premiere of his operatic masterpiece The Ring cycle.
Our Listening Service witness today is macroeconomist, fund manager and sometime cellist Felix Martin, who has written the unauthorised biography of money.

"I must down to the seas again" - the opening words of John Masefield's poem Sea Fever published in 1902. Today's Words and Music follows his suggestion, with readings by Julian Glover and Eleanor Tomlinson, which range from Gerard Manley Hopkins's poem Wreck of the Deutschland, a ship which foundered off the Kent coast in 1875 and Matthew Arnold's On Dover Beach, to Joseph Conrad's autobiographical book The Mirror of the Sea, to Kathleen Jamie's poem The Glass-hulled Boat. The music includes Mendelssohn's Fingal's Cave, Flanders and Swann's Rockall, folk tunes by Julie Fowlis and Debussy's La Mer, which the composer wrote whilst staying at Eastbourne. The BBC Radio 3 Breakfast programme is currently asking listeners for suggestions of music inspired by the coastline of Britain to play each morning.

Tranquility Inc - The Great New Ambient Wave
Elizabeth Alker steps back into the glitz and excess of Japan during the 1980s, when the Yen dominated global markets, and a housing boom the likes of which the world had never seen transformed Tokyo into a vital and chaotic metropolis.
In the midst of all that freneticism lies a hidden chapter in the global history of the avant-garde: Japan’s Kankyo Ongaku movement, where groundbreaking composers, bolstered by corporate patronage, reimagined the function of music in an increasingly fast-paced society. Influenced by the likes of Brian Eno, John Cage, and Erik Satie, they proposed a new form of ambient music – one that would help guide Japan’s citizens through both private and public worlds.
When Japan’s economy collapsed in the 1990s, the output of these musicians was subsequently buried under the rubble of a burst bubble, but now, for the first time, it’s finding a new life with listeners in the West.
Elizabeth speaks to the corporations who funded this unlikely partnership (MUJI, Seiko, Wacoal), as well as the composers who benefited from it (Takashi Kokubo, Inoyama Land, Yoshio Ojima) in order to trace this unlikely instalment in the landscape of experimental composition, and to ask why we are only uncovering its output now.

The Rival
An erotically charged re-imagining of how Shakespeare came to write the sonnets. Written by Jude Cook.
In 1590, young dramatist and actor William Shakespeare is called to Titchfield House, seat of the Countess of Southampton where he’s hired by Lord Burghley to write a series of sonnets encouraging the young Earl of Southampton to marry Burghley’s granddaughter. When the playhouses are closed due to plague in 1592, Will is forced to flee London to live at Titchfield, where he’s given a second commission to write a poem for the Countess’s son. However, Will finds himself writing secret sonnets in praise of the ‘lovely youth’. To complicate matters, he’s also attracted to Aline, the wife of the young man’s tutor, John Florio, occasioning more poetry about a ‘Dark Lady’. When middle-aged poet and translator George Chapman arrives, Will sees he has real competition – professionally and personally, for the Earl’s affections.
The sonnets have since become the most anthologised of Shakespeare’s words – memorised, recited and translated around the world. The play is introduced by Dr Will Tosh, Research Fellow and Lecturer at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.

As the country comes out of long periods of enforced lockdown, it's good to be reminded of the fun things that bring people together, and escape to a happy place, with reminders of holidays, childhood, excitement and wonder.
The Pleasure Beach at Great Yarmouth is a family-run business that has stood on the sea front for over a hundred years. It mixes the latest fairground ride technology with vintage favourites.
This Slow Radio experience takes in one of the first days of opening after the fairground's Covid-enforced shutdown.
So forget your troubles for half an hour and come and ride on the Big Apple Coaster, the carousel and the dodgems; take a fairy tale trip on a mechanical snail, dare to visit the Haunted Hotel, and watch out for the Barrel of Laughs.

Edith was determined that her son Benjamin should become the 4th ‘B’.

The Consone Quartet play Mozart and Mendelssohn
The period instrument Consone Quartet bring their trademark freshness to Mozart and Mendelssohn, live at Wigmore Hall.
Mozart's D minor quartet is one of the set of six he dedicated to Haydn, the acknowledged master of the form, in 1785. Unusually, it took Mozart nearly three years of hard work to complete the set. Of the six quartets, the D minor is the most dramatic, with telling nods to the Baroque composers Mozart had recently been introduced to and ending with a set of variations whose ambiguously jaunty theme can't seem to decide whether to be jolly or melancholy.
By 1823, when the 14-year-old Mendelssohn wrote his E flat major quartet, he was an experienced composer whose transcendent technique went far beyond the juvenilia Mozart was capable of at the same age. The quartet at once harks back to Haydn and Mozart and points forward with characteristic assurance to the uniquely sunny and lyrical style of Mendelssohn's mature music.
Presented by Martin Handley.

Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra
Prague born-and-bred Robert Jindra conducts the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra in a tuneful programme recorded at their studio in the city's Main Czech Radio Building, the 85-year-old functionalist cultural historical landmark at the heart of radio broadcasting in the Czech Republic.
Sibelius's Valse Triste, with its earworm tune is probably the most popular six minutes of music he wrote. At the end of the 19th century, Fauré was the first composer out of the blocks to be inspired by Pelléas et Mélisande, Maurice Maeterlinck's play about forbidden and doomed love (Debussy, Schoenberg and Sibelius followed). Fauré evokes the subtle ambiguities and sudden passionate outbursts of the play's half-lit, erotic, sylvan world with modal harmonies and distant horn calls.
Tchaikovsky's ever-popular Violin Concerto is performed by Jan Mráček, laureate of the Prague Spring International Music Competition, winner of the prestigious International Fritz Kreisler Competition in Vienna and concertmaster of the Czech Philharmonic.
Recorded in February and introduced by Fiona Talkington.

Caribbean Voices
Sara Collins on Una Marson
Trailblazing Jamaican broadcaster Una Marson is rightly celebrated for being the BBC's first black producer and founding an innovative radio programme. But why has her own poetry been neglected? Author of The Confessions of Frannie Langton, and herself no stranger to the airwaves, Sara Collins goes in search of Marson's voice.
75 years ago, the revolutionary Caribbean Voices strand was established on the BBC's Overseas Service. Every week for over a decade, it gave exposure to emerging writers from the region such as Sam Selvon, Derek Walcott and VS Naipaul - many for the first time. Delving into the BBC's Written Archives, five writers explore five important literary figures who contributed to the programme throughout the 1940s and 50s. The result is part archival treasure hunt, part cultural history and part personal reflection on the people behind the landmark institution.

Donald Macleod follows Benjamin Britten to America.
Britten wasn’t necessarily intending to stay very long in the United States. The reception he got in Canada and then in Michigan, when he arrived in 1939, made him think that his future may indeed lie on the other side of the Atlantic.
But as time went on, despite American friendship and support, his feelings became more conflicted.

Martin Handley introduces a recital recorded last week at Kings Place, London, featuring countertenor Iestyn Davies, accompanied by The English Concert under Peter Whelan, in a cornucopia of pieces composed for Handel’s London altos, both castrati and female singers. The repertoire is a journey through the composer's different London venues: opera theatres, churches and private houses, where he enjoyed enormous success. Davies includes arias from operas such as Giulio Cesare and Alcina, as well as music from oratorios like Theodora, anthems, pastorals and cantatas, all mixed with Handel’s orchestral dances and sinfonias.

The 2019 film's director Mark Jenkin is one of Laurence Scott's guests along with author Wyl Menmuir, and Joan Passey, from the University of Bristol, where she is researching ideas about the sea as a monstrous space. Their conversation ranges from The Jewel of the Seven Stars by Bram Stoker via Wyl's novel The Many, centred on a derelict home in a coastal village and ideas about outsiders, to Celtic Cornish Breton connections.
BBC Radio 3's Breakfast programme is featuring music from around the coastline of Britain suggested by listeners.

Caribbean Voices
Paul Mendez on Andrew Salkey
Arriving in Britain as part of the Windrush Generation, Andrew Salkey made vital contributions to the BBC's Caribbean Voices programme as a presenter, writer and reader of others work. But author of Rainbow Milk, Paul Mendez, knew little about him before coming across a striking image of man at the centre of the mid-20th century's black literary scene. Here he draws on that picture, following Salkey's journey from reading the work of other authors on air, to penning his own forgotten queer classic, Escape to an Autumn.
75 years ago, the revolutionary Caribbean Voices strand was established on the BBC's Overseas Service by trailblazing Jamaican broadcaster Una Marson. Every week for over a decade, it gave exposure on radio to emerging writers from the region such as Sam Selvon, Derek Walcott and VS Naipaul - many for the first time. Delving into the BBC's Written Archives, five writers go in search of five important figures who contributed to the programme throughout the 1940s and 50s, each of whom changed the literary landscape in a different way. The result is part archival treasure hunt, part cultural history and part personal reflection on the people behind a landmark institution.

Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)
Peter Grimes Country
Donald Macleod explores the Suffolk landscape that drew Britten back from America.
It was a talk by EM Forster that did it. Although the ex-patriate Benjamin Britten wasn’t able to hear Forster’s talk on the wireless. He was then basking in the Southern Californian sunshine in Escondido, just north of San Diego, Somehow a copy of The Listener magazine reached him there: possibly his friend WH Auden had sent it from New York.
In it was Forster’s article about the 18th century poet George Crabbe who’d been born at Aldeburgh in Suffolk and whose poems were steeped in the atmosphere of that part of the east coast. A famous [poem of Crabbe’s],” Forster wrote, “is Peter Grimes: he was a savage fisherman who murdered his apprentices and was haunted by their ghosts.” Britten was immediately transported to the misty, salt-tanged shingle beaches of Suffolk, echoing to the lonely calls of sea-birds. He felt a pang of homesickness, of nostalgia, of recognition, a feeling of where he ought to be. It was an epiphany. Britten said later: “In a flash I realised two things: that I must write an opera, and where I belonged and what I lacked.”

Windy City
Live from MediaCityUK, Salford
Presented by Tom McKinney
Featuring an orchestra with pairs of cor anglaises, bassoons and horns, the programme opens with Haydn's distinctly dark-hued Symphony No.22 "The Philosopher". Sharing a key with that symphony by Haydn, Mozart's Symphony No.39 gives particular prominence to one of his favourite instruments, the clarinet. Rather like the first movement of the Haydn which opens this concert, the last movement of this Mozart explores a single theme, though here it is lively and playful rather than thoughtful and solemn. Between these contrasting works, the BBC Philharmonic's principal bassoonist, Roberto Giaccaglia takes centre-stage in Marco Betta's characterful concerto "Citta Azzura", written in 2005.

The Innovative Shape of Poems
HIV's origins and colonial history have inspired the collection of poems by Kayo Chingonyi, which has been nominated for the Forward Prize for Best Collection 2021. Paisley Rekdal is currently the Poet Laureate of Utah. Her latest collection of poems was inspired by Ovid. She's been thinking about where stories come from and what we mean by appropriation. Dr Nasser Hussain is interested in ‘lost’ fragments of language and in what we notice and what we ignore. New Generation Thinker Florence Hazrat studies punctuation. They join host Sandeep Parmar for a conversation about experimentation ahead of the Ledbury Poetry Festival.
Sandeep Parmar is a poet and Professor of English Literature at the University of Liverpool and a BBC/AHRC New Generation Thinker. She has been running the Ledbury Poetry Critics scheme alongside Sarah Howe. This project encourage diversity in poetry reviewing culture aimed at new critical voices. Ledbury Poetry Festival runs from 2 - 11 July 2021.
Kayo Chingonyi's book is called A Blood Condition. You can find the full list of poets shortlisted on https://www.forwardartsfoundation.org/
Paisley Rekdal's collection of poems, Nightingale, re-writes many of the myths in Ovid's The Metamorphoses. She has published an Essay Appropriate: A Provocation https://www.paisleyrekdal.com/
Dr Nasser Hussain teaches poetry at Leeds Beckett University. He published ‘SKY WRI TEI NGS’, a book of conceptual writing that composes poetry from IATA airport codes and is working on an autobiographical poetic project Playing with Playing with Fire and The Life of Form.
Dr Florence Hazrat is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Sheffield studying rhetoric, punctuation and Shakespeare's use of music. She is a New Generation Thinker on the scheme run by BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council to select academics to turn their research into radio.

Caribbean Voices
Kei Miller on Louise Bennett
The poet, folklorist and performer ‘Miss Lou’ made waves on air on both sides of the Atlantic. Coming to study at Rada in London shortly after WWII, her dialect verse was picked up and celebrated on the BBC through radio programmes like Caribbean Voices. For writer Kei Miller, who lovingly recalls the magic her words worked on his mother, she is rightly seen as a hero back home in Jamaica.
75 years ago, the revolutionary Caribbean Voices strand was established on the Overseas Service by trailblazing Jamaican broadcaster Una Marson. Every week for over a decade, it gave exposure on radio to emerging writers from the region such as Sam Selvon, Derek Walcott and VS Naipaul - many for the first time. Delving into the BBC's Written Archives, five writers go in search of five important figures who contributed to the programme throughout the 1940s and 50s, each of whom changed the literary landscape in a different way. The result is part archival treasure hunt, part cultural history and part personal reflection on the people behind a landmark institution.

Our Own Festival
Donald Macleod looks back on the founding of Benjamin Britten’s music festival at Aldeburgh.
It was while travelling a long way from Suffolk, on their way to Switzerland, that Peter Pears is supposed to have said to Benjamin Britten: “Why don’t we have a festival in Aldeburgh?”
On the face of it, an eccentric idea to think you could have a music festival in that relatively awkward to get to corner of East Anglia, but the Aldeburgh Festival quickly established itself a great success. It rooted Britten ever more deeply in Suffolk, as well as providing an expression of his rootedness.

The supernatural power of fate knocks on the doors of all three pieces fielded tonight by the BBC Symphony Orchestra with talented young conductor Jonathan Heyward, the Chief Conductor of the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie. They join Italian violinist Francesca Dego, winner of the Paganini Competition in Genoa, for a performance of Joseph Boulogne Chevalier De Saint-George's Violin Concerto in A, Op. 5, No. 2. Baroque brilliance glints through this work by the son of a Senagalese slave, who led an adventurous life including as a swordsman and exceptional violinist and composer.
Haydn’s Symphony No.98, written in London, is a tribute to a man he had just heard had died, one Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. And be stirred by contemporary American Carlos Simon’s opener to the concert, which pays homage to the daily challenges of Beethoven’s life, Fate Now Conquers.

Filming Sunday Bloody Sunday
The Oscar-winning Midnight Cowboy was followed up by this drama about an artist who has relationships with a female job consultant and a male doctor. Director John Schlesinger, writer Penelope Gilliatt, actors Glenda Jackson and Peter Finch were all nominated for Academy Awards but it performed poorly at the box office. Was the 1971 film ahead of its times? Matthew Sweet re-watches it with guests including Glenda Jackson, playwright Mark Ravenhill, film historian Melanie Williams and BFI archivist Simon McCallum. They discuss the different elements of the film, including the score, which features the trio Soave sia il vento from Mozart's opera Così fan tutte, the very precise decor and evocation of late '60s London and filming inside a Jewish synagogue.

Jlin’s Listening Chair
Elizabeth Alker surveys the landscape of contemporary composition, moving through ambient, electronic, and post-classical recordings – and relishing the spaces in between.
This week, she invites Jlin onto the show for a surprising and transportive exercise in deep listening. In her startling electronic compositions, the Indiana native builds twitching digital worlds, populated entirely by mangled samples of her own creation. But in her Listening Chair selection, Jlin luxuriates in the honeyed vocals of Sade and in the process unlocks new depths of meaning in a soulful pop classic.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (m000xg6g)
Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)
Continuity and Defiance
Donald Macleod explores Britten’s War Requiem and the composer’s friendship with cellist Mstislav Rostropovich.
The War Requiem had actually been foreshadowed twice before. After the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1947, the writer Ronald Duncan had suggested to Britten that they collaborate on an oratorio, a piece that was to be called Mea Culpa. But there were problems over the commissioning of the piece and the idea foundered . The next year, following the death of Gandhi, Britten wrote to a friend saying how this had been a great shock to someone with his convictions and he was “determined to commemorate this occasion in, possibly, some form of Requiem to his honour. When I shall complete this piece I cannot say.” So when the Coventry arts committee approached him in the autumn of 1958, Britten was already primed.
The success of the Requiem made Britten a national figure as never before.

Caribbean Voices
Colin Grant on VS Naipaul
Nobel laureate Naipaul began his career working in radio for the BBC, and it is also where writer Colin Grant met him towards the end of his life half a century later. How had the giant of Trinidadian literature changed during that time since being told to "write like a West Indian" and quickly becoming the precocious editor of Caribbean Voices? This polemical exploration celebrates his contributions, as well as examining his many contradictions.
Seventy-five years ago, the revolutionary Caribbean Voices strand was established on the Overseas Service by trailblazing Jamaican broadcaster Una Marson. Every week for over a decade, it gave exposure on radio to emerging writers from the region such as Sam Selvon, Derek Walcott and George Lamming - many for the first time. Delving into the BBC's Written Archives, five writers go in search of five important figures who contributed to the programme throughout the 1940s and 50s, each of whom changed the literary landscape in a different way. This series is part archival treasure hunt, part cultural history and part personal reflections on the people behind a landmark institution.
