9.30am Proms Composer: Joseph McHardy on J. S. Bach

Joseph McHardy chooses five essential recordings of BBC Proms Composer JS Bach and explains why you need to hear them.

Generally regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of western music, Bach was a Baroque composer famous for the Brandenburg Concertos, the Cello Suites, the Goldberg Variations, the Well-Tempered Clavier, the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Bach's music is at the same time intellectually rigorous with its virtuosic counterpoint, and sensually thrilling with its dance rhythms and luxurious melodies.

Summer Showcase (7/8)

New Generation Artists Summer Showcase: Kate Molleson presents more recent performances from the current members of Radio 3's new artists' programme. Today the period instruments of the Consone Quartet play Haydn in the 18th-century Octagon Chapel in Norwich. Also today, the mezzo, Helen Charlston sings Finzi's touching cycle 'O Fair to See,' settings of six poets including Robert Bridges. Finzi's setting of his 'Since we loved,' proved to be his last composition, a song which one biographer describes as a "beautiful and perfect final love letter to [his wife] Joy, to his art, and to life itself."

Jess Gillam with... Isobel Waller-Bridge

Jess's guest this week is composer Isobel Waller-Bridge. Best known for her work in TV and film, Isobel has scored The Split, Fleabag, Emma, Vita & Virginia and many more, but she's also a prolific composer for the theatre and is known for her evocative contemporary classical and electronic music for the concert hall.

Jess and Isobel sit down for a listening party of the music they love the most - Isobel offers some stunning moments of calm by Hinako Omori and Emily Hall and a tuba jam by Sons of Kemet, while Jess interupts the peace with Sibelius at his most joyously epic, an intimate song by Noah Yorke and possibly the funkiest string quartet ever written by Ravel.

SAT 13:00 Inside Music (m0010753)
Tenor Nicky Spence with music both structural and spiritual

Scottish tenor Nicky Spence is a star of the opera stage, and while his choices today include dramatic productions by Benjamin Britten and Richard Wagner, there are many surprises in store too.

Nicky reveals his passion for dancing was inspired by Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story, explains why folk music grounds him emotionally and finds parallels between being a tenor and being an alphorn player.

Plus he shows his huge admiration for Beyoncé.

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.

Carnival Special

Kevin Le Gendre celebrates Notting Hill Carnival with an explosive live session from London marching band Kinetika Bloco, featuring trumpeter Mark Kavuma, saxophonist Reuben Fox, steel pans, samba drums and more. The group, which stems from a youth music project of the same name, has brought through many of London’s leading jazz musicians, including Nubya Garcia and Theon Cross. Described as “enchanting” by Nelson Mandela, they’re veterans of Notting Hill and released their debut album, Legacy, last year.

Also in the programme, we hear from Trinidad born trumpeter and composer Etienne Charles, who digs into the history of carnival and shares some remarkable early recordings from as far back as 1912. A star of the US jazz scene and a gifted storyteller, Etienne has spent years researching Trinidad’s carnival traditions, performing, making field recordings and documenting the rich folklore that accompanies the music. All of these influences are present in his own work, above all his album series, Carnival.

SUNDAY 28 AUGUST 2022

SUN 00:00 Freeness (m001bcqr)
Piano studies

Corey Mwamba presents new music from pianists inspired by poetry, games and studies in human perception.

Marta Warelis creates a grainy and sinuous sound world on acoustic piano, offering careful studies in scale, perception and interconnectedness.

Eleonor Sandresky takes the evocative imagery of Mary Oliver’s poetry as cues for improvisation: fireflies at dusk, night-time swimming and alligators sinking into swamps. Playing these pieces live, she’d place a few words from each poem on her piano stand as a way of triggering the visceral feeling each piece had on her, using that as jumping-off point for musical expression.

Haunting, disjointed keys appear via the Tara Clerkin Trio, who create a heady mix of hip hop, drum and bass and glitching free jazz. The music was created via a musical version of the game ‘exquisite corpse’, where instead of drawing body parts blindfolded, the group improvised random parts to create a Frankenstein-like whole.

SUN 09:00 Sunday Morning (m001bcrq)
Sarah Walker with a kaleidoscopic musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses two and a half hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Today, there’s music that will make you want to dance - from a sprightly piece for brass by German Baroque composer Samuel Scheidt, to the traditional Irish song ‘Moorlough Mary’, and a calypso called ‘Human Race’.

Sarah also finds calm in the delicate sounds of the harp as Isabelle Perrin plays music by Faure, and energy in the expressive orchestral textures of Smetana’s Ma Vlast.

Plus, a scherzo by Schubert which is the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea…

Prom 55: Organ Recital – Nathan Laube

Live from the BBC Proms: An organ recital by Nathan Laube, including music by Wagner, Franck, Alkan and Liszt.

Presented by Martin Handley, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Wagner: Tannhäuser – Grand March (transcr. W. J. Westbrook & Nathan Laube)
Franck: Grande pièce symphonique
Alkan: 11 Grands préludes – No. 10: Scherzando
Liszt: Piano Sonata in B minor (transcr. Nathan Laube)

Nathan Laube, organ

When the Royal Albert Hall’s ‘Father’ Willis organ thunders into action, the air itself seems to shake. It’s the musical soul of this great building and, with its 9,999 pipes, it’s the second largest organ in the UK. No Proms season is complete without a chance to hear it in full, majestic, flight, and this year the honour goes to the superb Chicago-born organist Nathan Laube. He’s pulling out all the stops (almost literally!) with a programme of showpieces and transcriptions from the peaks of the Victorian organ repertoire – as well as his own transcription of Liszt’s B minor Piano Sonata. It’s a tour de force on the piano; on the organ … well, come and hear for yourself.

Proms at Liverpool

From the BBC Proms: the Dudok String Quartet of Amsterdam play Doreen Carwithen String Quartet No 2 and Brahms's String Quartet in A minor, Op 51 No 2.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny from Liverpool’s St George’s Hall.

Doreen Carwithen: String Quartet No.2
Brahms: String Quartet in A minor, Op.51 No.2

Dudok Quartet of Amsterdam

We’re living in a new golden age of string quartet playing, and the Dudok Quartet of Amsterdam is in its vanguard – four superb young players who believe chamber music is an act of friendship, and that anything this good deserves to be shared. Never afraid to explore beyond the standard repertoire, today the Dudok's champion Doreen Carwithen’s windswept Second Quartet of 1950, alongside one of the gentle giants of the 19th-century repertoire: the big-hearted masterpiece that Brahms wrote as a gift for his great friend, the Hungarian violinist Joseph Joachim. With interpreters as imaginative as these, it’ll sound more vibrant than ever in the magnificent surroundings of Liverpool’s St George’s Hall.

SUN 14:00 The Early Music Show (m000hmq3)
Music in 18th-century Portugal (1/2)

The first of two programmes exploring the music of 18th-century Portugal. This programme delves into the music heard in the royal court and opera houses of 18th-century Lisbon.

Marcos Magalhães, director of the ensemble Os Músicos do Tejo takes us on a tour of the city, from the theatre of São Carlos, to the district of Bairro Alto, where soprano super-star Luísa Todi lived and sang; to the modern-day Praça do Comércio, near which the old royal palace was located, before its destruction in the earthquake of 1755.

The 18th century saw the Portuguese court consciously try to rediscover the grandness of their 15th- and 16th-century predecessors during the so-called ‘Age of Discoveries’, when the Portuguese first established their overseas empire. With it came a musical heritage that was both inspired by those of Italy and France, but also sought to bring Portuguese talent to the fore.

Presented by Hannah French.

SUN 17:00 The Listening Service (m00013y4)
What counts as 'classical music'?

What do we actually mean when we talk about "classical music"? What is - or isn't it?

By its narrowest definition it's essentially mid-18th to early 19th century music and yet it's usually used to mean much much more. So how is classical music defined these days? Is it a walled garden of a very distinct style, or can it embrace all sorts of things? Does being played by an orchestra make something classical? Is film music classical? Are crossover artists classical? Is game music classical? Questions, and possibly some answers, with Tom Service, plus thoughts from composer Max Richter and writer Charlotte Higgins..

SUN 17:30 Words and Music (m001bcrx)
Butterflies and Moths

From the hookah-smoking caterpillar in Alice and Joby Talbot's ballet score, to John Fowles's collector of specimens and Poppy Adams exploration of the behaviour of moths, Shakespeare's King Lear laughing at "gilded butterflies" and WG Sebald's tracking of silkworms to Dickens' Mr Skimpole "free as a butterfly": today's programme weaves together examples of moths and butterflies in prose and poetry, set alongside music which ranges from operas by Bellini and Puccini to Harrison Birtwistle's Moth Requiem, Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road journeys, Dolly Parton's observation that "love is like a butterfly", a Hopi butterfly dance and music from film, including Silence of the Lambs. Our readers are Erin Shanagher and Rupert Hill.

Margaret Fay Shaw's Hebridean Odyssey

Margaret Fay Shaw gave up a privileged upbringing and classical music training in 1920s New York, to live in a remote, Gaelic-speaking community in the Outer Hebrides. Without any knowledge of Gaelic she used her classical training to notate and later record the first proper archive of traditional, unaccompanied song and folklore from the Western Isles.

Later she married folklorist John Lorne Campbell. They settled in the Big House on the Isle of Canna and for decades they embarked on recording expeditions throughout the Western Isles. Fay Shaw died in 2004, aged 101 and her priceless archive of song sheets, recordings and photographs is stored on Canna along with her beloved Steinway piano, shipped out specially on a fishing boat from Glasgow.

Fiona Mackenzie, one of Scotland's leading Gaelic singers, is curating and digitising this huge collection, owned by the National Trust for Scotland, and says it is her dream job. Margaret Fay Shaw's life and work is her inspiration and obsession, and she regularly gives talks, illustrated with archive recordings and her own live performance, to bring the story to wider audiences.

Recorded on location, Fiona explores the songs and folklore which mean so much to her and which drew her muse from New York to the beautiful but storm-tossed Outer Hebrides. She says the songs of love, lament, work and exile have an enduring relevance. She describes the earliest recordings as “pinpricks of sound”, but says they echo a vanished way of life, “telling us who we are and where we came from”.

Prom 56: The South African Jazz Songbook

Live from the BBC Proms: Metropole Orkest conducted by Marcus Wyatt with vocalists Siyabonga Mthembu and ESKA, plus saxophonist Soweto Kinch and tuba player Theon Cross.

Presented by Sarah Walker, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Interval: Sarah's joined by Kevin Le Gendre to discuss the programme in the wider context of South African Jazz.

The South African Jazz Songbook

Metropole Orkest
Marcus Wyatt (conductor)

‘I don’t think any musician ever thinks about making a statement’, said Hugh Masekela, the late, great 'father of South African jazz' – ‘I think everybody goes into music loving it.’ Tonight’s Prom showcases the most dynamic sounds in contemporary South African jazz, including those of Cry Freedom’s Jonas Gwangwa, genre-crossing composer Abdullah Ibrahim, Dudu Pukwana and Johnny Dyani of The Blue Notes, and saxophonist Winston Mankunku. Singer Siyabonga Mthembu makes a special appearance, together with Mercury Prize-nominated ESKA, double MOBO Award-winning saxophonist Soweto Kinch and tuba sensation Theon Cross. Plus, if there’s one group that’s absolutely guaranteed to set the Proms on fire, it’s Metropole Orkest – the globetrotting, genre-defying ensemble behind recent Proms tributes to Nina Simone, Charles Mingus and Quincy Jones.

SUN 22:00 Record Review Extra (m001bcs1)
Joseph McHardy's Bach

Hannah French offers listeners a chance to hear at greater length the recordings reviewed and discussed in yesterday’s Record Review, as well as music from Joseph McHardy's pick of Johann Sebastian Bach's recordings.

SUN 23:30 Slow Radio (m001bcs3)
Fair Winds

Fair Isle sits between Orkney and Shetland and is the most geographically remote inhabited island in the UK with a population of around 60 people. The world-famous Fair Isle knitting patterns originate from there, and are still in production to this day on the island. It is also a stopping off point for migratory birds, and, as a result, is a mecca for bird watchers who visit the island to try and spot a 'blow in'.

Inge Thomson is a musician and composer who was brought up on Fair Isle and spent her childhood playing in rock pools and birdwatching. Her music has been influenced deeply by not only the traditional music of Fair Isle, but the sounds she grew up hearing around her - lapwings, the ever present and changing wind and the sea around her.

In this Slow Radio piece, producer Helen Needham accompanies Inge to Fair Isle after an absence of eight months. They explore the island together, from clifftop to cave, capturing the unique sounds of this special place. They also stop by the knitting studio of Marie Bruhat to capture her at work on her contemporary Fair Isle pieces. And finally we hear a sound composition created specially for BBC Radio 3 by Inge featuring sounds from Fair Isle.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001bcsh)
Dietrich Buxtehude (c1637-1707)

The Great Dane

Bach pays Buxtehude a visit and Donald Macleod explores the composer’s early life.

Dietrich Buxtehude was a musical star in his own time, a legendary organist and composer who Johann Sebastian Bach walked almost 300 miles just to meet and learn from. Yet, the facts of Buxtehude’s own story are far from straightforward. Doubts remain over so many details in the composer’s life. We can’t even be sure when or where he was born, leading to three different countries claiming him as their own, and for a musician who perhaps above all was famed for his organ music, it is remarkable that not one single organ piece by him was published in his lifetime. In this Composer of the Week series, Donald Macleod pieces together what we do know about Buxtehude - the pre-eminent European composer before Bach, and finds a multifaceted personality and ground-breaking musician who worked his way across Europe via three different churches dedicated to St Mary, and who – once he settled in Lubeck - acted as a kind of centre of gravity for other musicians of his age.

In Monday’s programme, Donald examines the details of Bach’s trip to visit Buxtehude. He also revisits the beginning of Buxtehude’s life, tracing the facts back to Denmark, and exploring his early musical experiences with the organ, and his schooling which involved singing, astronomy and a strict ban on snowball fights!

Proms at Birmingham

Mezzo-soprano Claire Barnett-Jones and pianist Simon Lepper perform music by Joseph Horovitz, Ethel Smyth, Rebecca Clarke, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Errollyn Wallen.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny, live from Birmingham's Bradshaw Hall.

Joseph Horovitz: Lady Macbeth – a scena
Ethel Smyth: Lieder, Op. 4
Rebecca Clarke: The Seal Man
Ralph Vaughan Williams: Four Last Songs
Errollyn Wallen: Lady Super Spy Adventurer

The sheer wealth and beauty of English poetry has been a continual inspiration to British composers. Since winning the Joan Sutherland Audience Prize at BBC Cardiff Singer of the World 2021 mezzo-soprano Claire Barnett-Jones has become one of the most sought-after voices on both the operatic stage and the concert platform – with one critic writing that she ‘stole the stage at every movement’ in English National Opera’s recent The Cunning Little Vixen. Today, with pianist Simon Lepper, she celebrates the songs of 2022 Proms featured composers Vaughan Williams and Ethel Smyth, brings all her theatrical flair to a Shakespeare sketch by the late Joseph Horovitz, and sings something entirely new from Proms favourite Errollyn Wallen.

Prom 57: Bach’s Mass in B minor with the OAE

Live at the BBC Proms: Five exceptional soloists, including Iestyn Davies and Mary Bevan, join John Butt and the OAE as they drive to the emotional core of this sublime music.

Presented by Hannah French live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Rachel Redmond and Mary Bevan (sopranos)

Guy Cutting (tenor)
Matthew Brook (bass)
Choir of the Age of Enlightenment
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
John Butt (conductor)

Choral music offers few loftier spiritual or artistic challenges than Bach’s Mass in B minor – but then, few living performers are better equipped to tackle it than Baroque music specialist and scholar John Butt, and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. ‘If any piece of classical music can be considered universal, I think it’s the Mass in B minor,’ says Butt. ‘It goes down so well across a wide range of cultures.’ Five exceptional soloists (including counter-tenor Iestyn Davies and soprano Mary Bevan) join Butt and the OAE as they drive to the emotional core of this sublime music – and lay bare the passionate, profoundly devoted heart of the man who wrote it.

There will be no interval.

MON 22:00 Between the Ears (m000lsn9)
Bar Answer

There comes a time in one’s life when you lose something truly important. A feeling someone once gave you. And on one of those endless, sleepless nights you find yourself thinking, surely I can get it back?

In the wake of a painful relationship breakup, film-maker Anastasia Kirillova finds herself in Tokyo. By chance she stumbles upon Bar Answer, an out-of-the-way cocktail bar that serves as the front-office for a love detective agency. Sipping on drinks named ‘Jealousy’ and ‘Obsession’, potential clients seek a remedy for their broken relationships, an escape from pain.

Separation operator Kyoko Kawakami is a ‘Kosaquin’, a love detective, working for Bar Answer. For a fee she offers ‘Fukuen’, reconciliation with a former partner, or ‘Wakaresaseya’, a break-up service for impatient lovers. Above all, she aims to help clients come to terms with ‘Genjitsu’, reality.

Bar Answer explores the private world of failing relationships, the pain of loving, and the ways back from the madness it can drive us to.

Folk at Home

At Home with Nathaniel Mann

From her garage studio in Wiltshire, Verity Sharp calls up musicians who are rooted in traditional music, exercises their home-recording skills, and asks them to sing something that’s been particularly resonating for them during lockdown. Verity catches Nathaniel Mann on his allotment where an incident that leaves him up a pear tree without a ladder, triggers a memory of his favourite folk song.

In this period of social distancing, how is music helping us keep connected to the things that matter? With its deep links to people, communities, land, nature and history, folk song has much to offer at this point in time.

Presented and produced by Verity Sharp.

New Generation Thinkers 2020

Dam Fever and the Diaspora

New Generation Thinker Majed Akhter explores how large dam projects continue to form reservoirs of hope for a sustainable future. Despite their known drawbacks, our love affair with dams has not abated – across the world more than 3,500 dams are in various stages of construction. In Pakistan this has become entwined with nationalism, both inside the community and in the diaspora - but what are the dangers of this “dam fever” ? This Essay traces the history of river development in the region, from the early twentieth century “canal colonies” in Punjab, to Cold War mega-projects, to the contemporary drive to build large new dams. Previously an engineer and a resource economist, Majed Akhter now lectures in geography at King’s College London. you can hear him discussing the politics of rivers in a Free Thinking episode called Rivers and geopolitics https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00051hb

Donald traces Buxtehude’s first professional engagements either side of the Øresund strait, the channel that now separates Denmark from Sweden.

In Tuesday’s programme, Donald traces Buxtehude’s first professional engagements as he journeys back and forth across the Øresund strait - the channel which now separates Denmark from Sweden during a turbulent period of conflict between the two countries. He also explores the culture of organ playing in Buxtehude’s day.

Archive footage, soundscapes, dancing astronauts and a flashing, blinking Sputnik right here in the Royal Albert Hall – when cult ‘retro-futurists’ Public Service Broadcasting brought The Race to Space to the Proms in 2019, it’s safe to say that the results were out of this world. So in the year that the BBC celebrates a century of – well, public-service broadcasting – it makes perfect sense to invite them back with This New Noise: a joyously eclectic, album-length celebration of 100 years of BBC Radio, backed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and delivered with all the wit and showmanship of a band on an ongoing mission to ‘teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future’.

Fluxus - 60 Years and Not Counting

One didn't join Fluxus but rather gravitate towards its spirit. Founded by George Maciunas in 1960, it was, at first, rooted in experimental music, named after a magazine featuring the work of musicians and artists centred around John Cage. Fluxus was a network, or maybe a circle, or perhaps even a laboratory that could include, from time to time, Yoko Ono, Cage, Joseph Beuys, Nam June Paik and others in concerts, exhibitions, events. Infusing art in life, or was it the other way around? Cocking a snook at the art establishment with events like 'Washing Diapers at Observatory Pond' artists combined whimsy, playfulness and humour with political messages and lashings of irreverence. Paul Morley talks to surviving Fluxus artists Nye Ffarrabas and Anne Noel Williams and reaches into the archive to summon up the spirit of a movement that was intent on infusing both sacredness and humour into art.

New Generation Thinkers 2020

Facing Facts

Earlier periods of history have seen more people with scarring to their faces from duelling injuries and infectious diseases but what stopped this leading to a greater tolerance of facial difference? Historian Emily Cock considers the case of the Puritan William Prynne and looks at a range of strategies people used to improve their looks from eye patches to buying replacement teeth from the mouths of the poor, whose low-sugar diets kept their dentures better preserved than their aristocratic neighbours. In portraits and medical histories she finds examples of the elision between beauty and morality. With techniques such as ‘Metoposcopy’, which focused on interpreting the wrinkles on your forehead and the fact that enacting the law led to deliberate cut marks being made - this Essay reflects on the difficult terrain of judging by appearance.

Emily Cock is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Cardiff working on a project looking at Disfigurement in Britain and its Colonies 1600 – 1850.

You can hear her discussing her research with Fay Alberti, who works on facial transplants, in a New Thinking podcast episode of the Arts & Ideas podcast called About Face https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p080p2bc

Dietrich Buxtehude (c1637-1707)

Lübeck

Donald Macleod explores Buxtehude’s new life in the city of Lübeck where he’d remain for the rest of his life.

Dietrich Buxtehude was a musical star in his own time, a legendary organist and composer who Johann Sebastian Bach walked almost 300 miles just to meet and learn from. Yet, the facts of Buxtehude’s own story are far from straightforward. Doubts remain over so many details in the composer’s life. We can’t even be sure when or where he was born, leading to three different countries claiming him as their own, and for a musician who perhaps above all was famed for his organ music, it is remarkable that not one single organ piece by him was published in his lifetime. In this Composer of the Week series, Donald Macleod pieces together what we do know about Buxtehude - the pre-eminent European composer before Bach, and finds a multifaceted personality and ground-breaking musician who worked his way across Europe via three different churches dedicated to St Mary, and who – once he settled in Lubeck - acted as a kind of centre of gravity for other musicians of his age.

In Wednesday’s programme, Donald explores Buxtehude’s life as he settles in the city of Lübeck, where he is joined by his father and brother, and under rather strange circumstances, he starts a family of his own.

Prom 59: Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius

Live at the BBC Proms: Edward Gardner conducts the London Philharmonic in Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius, with soloists Allan Clayton, Jamie Barton and James Platt.

Presented by Martin Handley, live at the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius

Allan Clayton, tenor
Jamie Barton, mezzo-soprano
James Platt, bass
Hallé Choir
London Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra
Edward Gardner, conductor

‘This is the best of me,’ wrote Elgar on the score of The Dream of Gerontius, and some would say that he never wrote anything greater. Gerontius lies dying – anguished and afraid. But he’s about to witness wonders beyond any human imagination, and in a great performance this epic, transcendently beautiful drama of a lonely soul’s journey towards eternity can move listeners to tears. ‘The chemistry was exactly right,’ wrote The Guardian about a previous performance by Edward Gardner and the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus; and with soloists of the calibre of Allan Clayton and Jamie Barton, this is one of those pieces that could have been made for the Royal Albert Hall.

WED 22:00 Sunday Feature (m000r39c)
The Robots Are Us

In January 1921, in a Europe still reeling from war and revolution, the Czech writer Karel Capek created a worldwide hit with his 'comedy of science and truth' R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), flesh not metal, are sold around the world first to create a world free from arduous labour and then to fight our wars. Free from consciousness or feelings. What could possibly go wrong? Humanity stops breeding and a new class of feeling robots strike out for a brave new world once humankind is all but exterminated. This now seems awfully familiar but in 1921 not so much.

Ken Hollings examines the creation and legacy of a play that both gifted the world the word Robot and began an enduring cliché that intelligent machines will rise up and destroy us. Written before pulp science fiction and at the height of Taylorism and the Ford assembly line, it found an international audience anxious about the fate of workers and work, revolution and mass production. But Capek's fleshy creations, more replicant that TOBOR, would soon be overlayed with the image of the clanking metal machine that would surely seek world domination on the covers of pulp science fiction and movies. In fiction the SKYNET is always falling, our robot overlords must be welcomed and the singularity is just around the corner. The science of Robotics would only begin in earnest decades after R.U.R. and A.I. and its ethical conundrums of existence, rights and reasoning belong to our 21st century yet Capek's notion of the revolt of the machines still dances through our debates and imagination. Ken Hollings talks to historians, roboticists, to grasp the power of R.U.R. and all that has followed.

Dietrich Buxtehude (c1637-1707)

An Ambitious Concertmaster

Donald Macleod explores Buxtehude’s “Abendmusiken” concerts, devised to entertain Lübeck’s population.

Dietrich Buxtehude was a musical star in his own time, a legendary organist and composer who Johann Sebastian Bach walked almost 300 miles just to meet and learn from. Yet, the facts of Buxtehude’s own story are far from straightforward. Doubts remain over so many details in the composer’s life. We can’t even be sure when or where he was born, leading to three different countries claiming him as their own, and for a musician who perhaps above all was famed for his organ music, it is remarkable that not one single organ piece by him was published in his lifetime.

In Thursday’s programme, Donald explores the strict class system which regulated Lübeck society, and Buxtehude’s place within it. He also discovers the series of “Abendmusiken” concerts devised to entertain the public that Buxtehude would turn into a phenomenon.

Merged into a seamless whole by specially created sound design, this is a journey through songs heard in the womb, music that brings us together, the sounds that keep us true to our beliefs and the ones that join us along the path of discovering who we truly are.

The Apple and the Tree

When he was a boy, Carlo Gébler would arrive home from school to hear the sound of typing coming from the shed at the bottom of his garden. This was where Carlo’s mother, the writer Edna O’Brien, went to write her novels.

Later, when he lay in bed at night, Carlo would again hear the sound of typing – this time coming from the downstairs front room - where his father, Ernest Gébler, wrote plays for television.

Now 68 and with his own distinguished career as an author, Carlo wants to know why the children of writers so often follow their parent’s footsteps into literature.

American writer Emily Ruskovich is the daughter of poet, Mike Ruskovich. Novelist Tania Unsworth's father Barry won the Booker Prize in 1992. As the author of Catch 22, Erica Heller's father Joseph needs little introduction.

Together they share with Carlo their personal experience of literary lineage as he asks if it's simply an iron law that the apple rarely falls far from the tree - or if the truth is something much more complex.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001bcwj)
Dietrich Buxtehude (c1637-1707)

Buxtehude, the Man

Donald Macleod tries to piece together an impression of what Buxtehude was like as a man and he explores the composer’s rare excursions from Lübeck’s city walls.

Dietrich Buxtehude was a musical star in his own time, a legendary organist and composer who Johann Sebastian Bach walked almost 300 miles just to meet and learn from. Yet, the facts of Buxtehude’s own story are far from straightforward. Doubts remain over so many details in the composer’s life. We can’t even be sure when or where he was born, leading to three different countries claiming him as their own, and for a musician who perhaps above all was famed for his organ music, it is remarkable that not one single organ piece by him was published in his lifetime. In this Composer of the Week series, Donald Macleod pieces together what we do know about Buxtehude - the pre-eminent European composer before Bach, and finds a multifaceted personality and ground-breaking musician who worked his way across Europe via three different churches dedicated to St Mary, and who – once he settled in Lubeck - acted as a kind of centre of gravity for other musicians of his age.

In Friday’s programme, Donald pieces together an impression of what Buxtehude might actually have been like as a man, and he explores the composer’s life outside of Lübeck’s city walls. He also examines some of the musicians who came to visit the venerable organist in his home city.

2022

Prom 61: Chineke! performs Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony

Live at the BBC Proms: Kevin John Edusei conducts Chineke! in George Walker's heartfelt song cycle Lilacs with soloist Nicole Cabell and Beethoven's joyous Ninth Symphony.

Presented by Georgia Mann, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

George Walker: Lilacs

7.50pm - INTERVAL: Dedicated in 1922, the Lincoln Memorial is a neoclassical temple built to honour the 16th president of the United States. Lisa Mullen discovers why America chose to mark the man who led the nation in the civil war and issued the Emancipation Proclamation that freed slaves forever. Michael Goldfarb, Professor Sarah Churchwell and Dr Joanna Cohen discuss how the Lincoln Memorial became the backdrop for the continuing civil rights movement.

Also, we'll hear from Keelan Carew about his Proms highlights in the last week.

Nicole Cabell (soprano)

Chineke! Chorus and Orchestra
Conductor Kevin John Edusei

‘Be embraced, all you millions!’ Since the earliest days of the Proms, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony has had a special place in each season – and with its climactic choral ‘Ode to Joy’, it’s one of those works that takes on a new meaning every time it’s played. This year, it’s performed by Chineke! – Europe’s first majority Black and ethnically diverse orchestra, along with Chineke! Voices. BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Nicole Cabell leads a world-class team of solo singers, and opens the Prom with the haunting Lilacs, the heartfelt song cycle with which George Walker became the first African American composer to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music.

FRI 22:00 Between the Ears (m000gvpl)
My Mother and Me

The Icelandic performance artist Ragnar Kjartansson grew up in the theatre with an actress-mother who attuned him to what he calls "the realness of fakeness".

The story goes that Ragnar was conceived during the filming of a sex scene involving his actor-parents, quaint footage of which was part of an installation during his acclaimed retrospective at the Barbican in 2016. And Kjartansson's mother has been central to his work, in a series of films recorded every five years, called 'Me and My Mother'.

As an adult, he discovered that what held him was the situation created on stage, rather than the narrative: "I became interested in creating these situations that are sculptural," he explains of his move into performance art.

In this 'radio happening' by the acclaimed Brooklyn-based Danish poet and producer Pejk Malinovski, we mirror in sound the highly staged expression of Kjartansson's art, the central relationship with his mother, his humour and heart.

FRI 22:30 The Essay (m000v2zt)
Folk at Home

At Home with Germa Adan

Verity Sharp hosts a series of conversations and performances recorded by songwriters at home. In this episode she dials up Haitian-born and Birmingham-based musician Germa Adan.

After a year of restricted movement, cancelled gigs and binned recording projects, have some of the UK’s most seasoned folk musicians changed their creative lives for good? Has the pandemic brought a whole new sense of artistic conscientiousness that has altered their artistic habits, or will it be business as usual once life’s back on track? Does the idea of jetting around the world to sing for large audiences still appeal, or has performing and sharing work online opened up new, more democratic possibilities? And how have all the events of the year rubbed off on their songwriting and sense of purpose? Verity Sharp calls up musicians who’re rooted in tradition, to find out how they’re currently feeling and to ask them to share a song that’s kept them grounded during this exceptional year.

In this episode, Haitian-born Germa Adan shares how this year has brought thoughts around identity and belonging into sharp focus, and how old songs have brought comfort.

Presented and produced by Verity Sharp.

FRI 22:45 The Essay (m000kpz3)
New Generation Thinkers 2020

Prison Break

Prison breaks loom large in both literature and pop culture. But how should we evaluate them ethically? New Generation Thinker Jeffrey Howard asks what a world without prison would look like. His essay explores whether those unjustly incarcerated have the moral right to break out, whether the rest of us have an obligation to help - and what the answers teach us about the ethics of punishment today. Jeffrey Howard is an Associate Professor in the Political Science Dept at University College, London, whose work on dangerous speech has been funded by the British Academy and the Leverhulme Trust. You can find him discussing hate speech in a Free Thinking Episode https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0006tnf

New Generation Thinkers is a scheme run by BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council to select ten academics who can turn their research into radio.

Producer: Luke Mulhall

FRI 23:00 Late Junction (m0019yp3)
