10.30am Building a Library: Nicholas Kenyon on Purcell’s Fairy Queen
Purcell's magnum opus was written as a series of masques to be performed at the end of the acts of a special version of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Arguably the greatest British composer before the 20th century, Purcell left us a tantalizing array of music for use in theatrical productions, which shows what an unsurpassed gift he had for matchings words and mood with music. Apart from the small-scale masterpiece, Dido and Aeneas, none of these pieces quite hangs together as a satisfying work of music theatre. The Fairy Queen is the closest we have to that. Written in a hybrid form of spoken drama and masque, it is notoriously difficult to bring off on the stage. But it is ideal for home listening. Nicholas Kenyon sifts through a strong field of some of the greatest names in baroque performance.

SAT 11:45 Music Matters (m001hp5y)
Stephen Hough, Don Paterson, Elzara Batalova
Stephen Hough talks to presenter Kate Molleson about his new memoir, Enough, a candid exploration of his love for the piano. He discusses growing-up in a household with little music, through his education in Cheetham’s School in Manchester as a young teenager, to his experience studying as a young man at the Juilliard in New York. He tells Kate about his experiences with teachers – some encouraging and others emotionally challenging – and describes the almost confessional nature of revealing his inner soul to the public as both a composer and performer.
Following a collective statement issued last week by the boards of several opera houses, which called on Arts Council England to develop a strategy for opera provision, Tom Service hears from Aidan Lang, general director of Welsh National Opera; general director of Opera North, Richard Mantle; and Robin Norton-Hale, general director of English Touring Opera, about what they’d like to see in the analysis ACE has promised. They tell Tom how new audiences and productions are helping the genre to thrive, despite the difficult cultural environment at present.
The singer and TV presenter Elzara Batalova left her homeland in Crimea after Russia’s 2014 annexation, and fled Kyiv last year for the safety of Scotland. As she prepares for a concert to mark the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh later this month, she tells Kate about her roots in Tatar culture, how she finds it difficult to sing after fleeing Ukraine, and the ways in which she’s discovering new ways to make her voice heard for the benefit of fellow Ukrainians.
Winner of the T. S. Eliot Prize, emeritus professor of Poetry at the University of St Andrews, and notching-up a quarter century as poetry editor at Picador Macmillan, Kate speaks to the Scottish poet and author Don Paterson, whose memoir Toy Fights is hot off the press. He describes the crucial influence of his father who was himself a respected musician, how he got into Jazz, how the guitar proved crucial during a time of mental breakdown, and the parallels between music and poetry.
SAT 12:30 This Classical Life (m001cns6)
Jess Gillam with... Bishi
Jess Gillam swaps favourite music with singer, rock sitarist and composer Bishi. Together they journey through evocations of space from Meredith Monk, Holst and Roger Webb back home to different shades of the human voice in music - from sacred vocal music from the 15th century, via a Ravi Shankar and Philip Glass collaboration, the unique voice of Beverly Glenn-Copeland and singer Cosmo Sheldrake's wake-up call from the cuckoo.

SAT 13:00 Inside Music (m001hq2b)
Flautist Claire Wickes with music from Mozart to the sound of a rolling marble
Claire Wickes is Principal Flute of the English National Opera Orchestra, which she claims is the best orchestral seat in the house, and several of her choices are inspired by what she hears from that particular seat.
Claire explores instrumentalists imitating singers and vice versa, enjoys a cello concerto that is written in a way you might not expect, and advocates visiting a snowy Estonian forest to understand the music of Arvo Pärt.
The flute makes several appearances, with C. P. E. Bach’s impressive use of the flute’s different registers, and Mozart’s exquisite lines for winds in his Piano Concerto No. 24.
Plus, the sounds of the electronic kannel and a marble rolling along a table…
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.

SAT 15:00 Sound of Gaming (m001hp6d)
Virtual Reality
Louise Blain focuses on Virtual Reality in gaming through some of the music that these games have inspired. She is joined by the composer of 'Lone Echo' and 'Moss', Jason Graves, who talks about writing music for this comparatively new format. VR offers an opportunity for a greatly enhanced sensory gaming experience and the potential for even more imaginative game play.
Louise's selection includes Inon Zur's score for 'Eagle Flight', Jaroslav Beck's 'Beat Saber', Mike Morasky's 'Half Life: Alyx', Jesper Kyd's 'Robinson: The Journey', Jeffrey Pierce and Rob Pearsall's 'Falcon Age', Kenneth C M Young's 'Astro Bot Rescue Mission VR', Keiichi Sugiyama's 'Rez Infinite', Michael Gordon Shaprino's 'Down the Rabbit Hole, Michael Wyckoff's 'Boneworks'; as well as Lone Echo', 'Moss' and 'Moss Book 2' by Jason Graves.

SAT 17:00 J to Z (m001c742)
James Francies’s Inspirations
Julian Joseph presents an interview with US piano virtuoso James Francies. Though still in his twenties, Francies has released two acclaimed albums for Blue Note Records and worked with leading figures from the jazz world and beyond, including Pat Metheny, Jeff “Tain” Watts, Childish Gambino and The Roots. Here he digs into some formative influences, including a technically astonishing piece by a past piano master – Art Tatum.
Also in the programme, a gutsy, groove-driven set from up-and-coming saxophonist and BBC Young Jazz Musician finalist Emma Rawicz, recorded for J to Z at the London Jazz Festival.
Produced by Thomas Rees for Somethin’ Else
SAT 18:30 Opera on 3 (m0017m15)
Mozart's Così fan tutte
From Bavarian State Opera: a comedy of manners which plumbs the depths of human emotion, starring Louise Alder, Sandrine Piau, Christian Gerhaher and Konstantin Krimmel, and conducted by Vladimir Jurowski.
Mozart's wise and witty comedy about the power and illusions of romantic love is one of his most cleverly constructed and at the same time most sensual scores. Through a cranky plot device the two sets of lovers are realigned in a partner-swap scenario, and the ensuing confusions are a springboard for moments of comedy that suddenly switch to deep pathos. As one of the characters says, in a single moment life can become a sea of torment.
This new production by Australian director Benedict Andrews, recorded at the Bavarian State opera in October, clearly underlined the ambiguous and elusive nature of sexual desire with inflatable Disney doll castles contrasted with dirty mattresses and assorted bedroom accoutrements.
Presented by Georgia Mann with guest opera expert Flora Willson.
Fiordiligi ..... Louise Alder (soprano)

SUNDAY 05 FEBRUARY 2023
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 a 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.

Today, there are searing harmonic suspensions in a concerto by Evaristo Felice dall’Abaco, mysterious overlapping chords in Messiaen’s ‘The Dove’, and winding melodies in Nishlyn Ramanna’s track N3 East.
There are also musical conversations in Baroque composer Isabella Leonarda’s 'Purple Flowers', and Leonard Bernstein’s ‘Lonely Town’ from On the Town soars with nostalgia.
Plus, a piece by Dmitry Kabalevsky that takes Sarah back to her student days as a pianist…

Kaffe Fassett’s textiles are unmistakable: in bright cerise and crimson and cobalt, his stripes and flowers burst onto the scene back in the seventies, and he’s been designing ever since. Brought up in a log cabin on the Californian coast, he’s lived for fifty years in Kilburn, north-west London, a house where every surface is painted or mosaicked or embroidered – and stuffed full of antique textiles and pots. In fact, it’s so full of stuff that his partner, Brandon, had to retreat to a white room of his own. But Kaffe would like us all to get sewing, or embroidering or knitting. He’s the author of numerous books which share his designs, and currently has an exhibition of his quilts at the Fashion and Textile Museum that will soon travel around Scotland.
In conversation with Michael Berkeley, Kaffe reveals that he first left California for Britain as a young man after a chance meeting with Christopher Isherwood, who so beguiled him that he was determined to see Europe for himself. He talks about growing up gay at a time when it was still illegal, and how he never felt he fitted in – he was the boy at school wearing bright orange corduroy. He reveals that he bought some wool and then begged a woman opposite him on the train home to teach him to knit. Since then, he’s never looked back, and however busy he is, he makes time to knit and embroider, finding it a chance to meditate and recover.
His music choices include Arvo Pärt, The Beatles and Schumann’s “Scenes from Childhood”.

Caffarelli
The 18th-century singer Caffarelli expressed a wish to be castrated when he was just ten years old - already wanting a career in music. He flourished into one of Europe's finest singers, and enjoyed great fame - and notoriety - for almost forty years, amassing a great fortune along the way.
Many composers of the day created roles for him in their productions, including Handel, Porpora, Hasse, Pergolesi and Gluck.
Lucie Skeaping explores Caffarelli's extraordinary life and career with music from recordings by Franco Fagioli, Max Emmanuel Cencic, Andreas Scholl and Simone Kermes, among others.

Symphonic Steampunk: Saint-Saëns's Organ Symphony
"I gave everything to it I was able to give. What I have here accomplished, I will never achieve again." So said child prodigy, virtuoso pianist, intellectual, conductor and composer Camille Saint-Saëns about his wildly successful 1873 ‘Organ Symphony’. Famously featured in the 1995 porcine Disney film Babe, it’s still immensely popular today. But where did it come from? What was Saint-Saëns trying to achieve and how influenced was he by his Parisian contemporaries? With organist Anna Lapwood on the thrill of playing ‘that chord’ in the Royal Albert Hall at the BBC Proms.
Producer: Ruth Thomson

Audre Lorde's World
Performer Jade Anouka and Lorde’s children Elizabeth Lorde-Rollins and Jonathan Rollins read from her inspirational poems, novels and her cancer diaries with music choices ranging from recordings by Chineke! and the Kanneh-Mason family of composers including Florence Price and George Walker, to the singers she listened to including Miriam Makeba, Sarah Vaughan and Donna Summer.
Lorde's writing was inspired by her wish to confront and address injustices of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia. Brought up a Catholic in New York, she began writing poems as a teenager. In the 1960s she worked as a librarian in New York public schools and became a mother to her two children before divorcing from her husband, who was a white, gay man, in 1970. During her career she held a visiting Professorship at the Free University of Berlin and at various colleges and universities in America, co-founded the first U.S. publisher for women of colour, helped establish Sisterhood in Support of Sisters (SISA) in South Africa to benefit black women who were affected by apartheid and was New York State Poet Laureate. In an African naming ceremony before her death in 1992 at the age of 58 , she took the name Gamba Adisa, which means "Warrior: She Who Makes Her Meaning Known".
The journals Audre Lorde kept while undergoing a mastectomy originally published in 1980 are now available again and her1982 novel, Zami: A New Spelling of My Name, Essays and poem collections including The Black Unicorn have also been republished in recent years.
You might be interested in this conversation on Free Thinking which features her children, the poet Jackie Kay and performer Selina Thompson https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0004my0 and you can find other discussions relating to Queer History Month in the Free Thinking Prose and Poetry collection.

Metal City
Metalworking has been central to the rise and success of Birmingham over hundreds of years. But how has this industry affected the culture of the city? Did the experience of working with metal and hearing the continuous clang of metal-on-metal seep into the personality and creativity of Birmingham’s inhabitants?
Gregory Leadbetter’s poem traces this story from the discovery of ore in the Staffordshire hills, through the Staffordshire Hoard, the Birmingham Pieces from the Knights Templar, the establishment and development of Birmingham as a great metalworking centre becoming the Toyshop of the World, the development of steam power by Matthew Boulton, being the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and the City of a Thousand Trades, all the way to the birth of Heavy Metal Music.
Those involved:
Metal City Poem written by award-winning poet Gregory Leadbetter, Professor of Poetry at Birmingham City University. Greg’s grandfather was a toolmaker in Birmingham and his surname signals an older family connection to metalworking in times long past.
Sound designer Joseph Ockford. Pretty much all of Joe’s male relatives and ancestors work or worked in the metal industry in the West Midlands.
Metal City Poem read by award-winning performance poet Spoz (Giovanni Esposito), a former worker in the Longbridge car factory.
Director, Stream of Sound Choir, Caroline Price. Caroline’s great-grandfather was an edge toolmaker from Nechells, Birmingham.
Stream of Sound was one of the first UK folk choirs. Based in Stourbridge, they have a particular interest in the folk music of the West Midlands.
Artistic Director and founder of Home of Metal, Lisa Meyer.
Sculptor Sir Antony Gormley who created his iconic IRON:MAN for Birmingham’s city centre.
Radio announcer Adrian Goldberg.
Historians:
Professor Carl Chinn MBE, whose maternal grandparents were a grinder and power press worker, and whose mother was a capstan operator.
Dr David Symons, formerly a curator at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
Musician and Music Historian Dr Matthew Price whose great grandfather was an edge tool maker in Oldbury.
Jo-Ann Curtis, curator of history at Birmingham Museums Trust
Dr Felicity McWilliams, curator of science and industry at Birmingham Museums Trust.
Readings:
The Hugh Miller extract is read by Michael Toolan, Emeritus Professor of English Language at Birmingham University and member of the City of Birmingham Choir.
The extract from David Lodge’s novel Nice Work (set in a fictional Midlands university) is read by Dr Deirdre Burton who was a colleague in the English Department at Birmingham University.
Vocal Music:
‘Ommer ‘Ommer ‘Ommer – a nail maker’s verse set to music by Caroline Price. Sung by Stream of Sound.
Final Chorus of Mendelssohn’s Oratorio Elijah, famously premiered in August 1846 in Birmingham’s Town Hall.
Song of Steam – a Birmingham broadside ballad set to an old Hymn tune and arranged by Caroline Price. Sung by Stream of Sound.
Metal City – a specially composed song based on the old Jack of All Trades broadside ballads. Words and music by Caroline and Matt Price. Sung by Stream of Sound.
Metal City is a co-commission between BBC Radio 3 and The Space with funding from Arts Council England. It’s a collaboration with Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. And special thanks to Birmingham City University’s School of Jewellery for metal facilities.
Producer Melvin Rickarby, grandson of a metal worker and whose dad moved from the metal factory to the steel strings of the bass guitar.
Producer Rosie Boulton, great great granddaughter of a brass maker.

Conductor and keyboard expert, Richard Egarr, has many musical passions, but in this three-part series he focuses on his love for the harpsichord. In episode one, Richard traces the development of the harpsichord from instruments plucked by the hand, to the psaltery and the virginal. Using selected works by Ennemond Gaultier, Antonio Valente, William Byrd and Jacopo Peri, Richard charts the unstoppable rise in popularity of this “bad keyboard version of the lute”.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001hpdw)
Bedrich Smetana (1824-1884)
Ambition and Struggle
Young Smetana’s musical talent was obvious, but would that be enough to get his life on track? Presented by Donald Macleod.
The title of Smetana’s most popular work, ‘Ma Vlast’, gives us a clue to what drove him through much of his career. It translates as ‘My Homeland’ and the music is Smetana’s ardent tribute to the Czech sprit of his beloved Bohemia. The composer was deeply involved with his people’s struggle for cultural and political independence from the Hapsburg empire. He pledged his art to those aims, and he even took to the streets to fight on the barricades, on one occasion.
Smetana’s life was also beset by great misfortunes. When times were hardest, he always turned to music, even after illness made composing an almost impossible exertion. He created some of his most extraordinary works under the most painful circumstances. This week, Donald Macleod follows Smetana as he grows from naïve revolutionary into one of the foundational figures in Czech music.
In Monday’s programme, Smetana arrives in Prague as a promising young musician but, with no means of support, he quickly begins to struggle. The composer is faced with many challenges and is forced to learn how to carry on in the face of overwhelming tragedy.

He's joined today by a leading young song pianist in a typically imaginative programme which pairs one of Schumann's great song cycles with a cycle published in 1885 by Mandyczewski (1857-1929), once an important figure in Viennese musical life.

Bedrich Smetana (1824-1884)
Stage-struck
Smetana plans his conquest of Prague’s new opera theatre. With Donald Macleod.
The title of Smetana’s most popular work, ‘Ma Vlast’, gives us a clue to what drove him through much of his career. It translates as ‘My Homeland’ and the music is Smetana’s ardent tribute to the Czech sprit of his beloved Bohemia. The composer was deeply involved with his people’s struggle for cultural and political independence from the Hapsburg empire. He pledged his art to those aims, and he even took to the streets to fight on the barricades, on one occasion.
Smetana’s life was also beset by great misfortunes. When times were hardest, he always turned to music, even after illness made composing an almost impossible exertion. He created some of his most extraordinary works under the most painful circumstances. This week, Donald Macleod follows Smetana as he grows from naïve revolutionary into one of the foundational figures in Czech music.
Today, Smetana is determined to put himself at the centre of Prague’s most exciting new project: a national theatre dedicated to promoting Czech culture. His lack of experience, outspoken attitude and many rivals soon threaten to scupper his ambitions.

WED 22:45 The Essay (m001hnpy)
Stories to Keep Space for on the Bookshelves
Tales from the Garbage Hills
Urbanisation, migration and ‘folk language’ are explored in the 1984 novel by Latife Tekin. The story is a carnivalesque fusion of contrasts like its title – where ‘Berji’ conjures images of an innocent shepherdess and ‘Kristin’ of a sex worker. There’s blind old Güllü Baba, rumoured to cure the ills caused by a nearby factory’s chemical wastewater. There’s Fidan of Many Skills, rumoured to know all the ‘arts of the bed’. There’s the rumour of roads, jobs, and clean water coming to Flower Hill: they never materialise. In his foreword to Berji Kristin: Tales from the Garbage Hills, John Berger crowns ‘rumour’ its ultimate storyteller. New Generation Thinker Sarah Jilani looks at the way the inhabitants of Flower Hill make sense of their disorienting transition from village life to shanty town in the story from one of Turkey's most influential female authors writing today.

Bedrich Smetana (1824-1884)
Rivalries
Smetana’s campaign to save his prestigious conducting job is unexpectedly derailed. With Donald Macleod.
The title of Smetana’s most popular work, ‘Ma Vlast’, gives us a clue to what drove him through much of his career. It translates as ‘My Homeland’ and the music is Smetana’s ardent tribute to the Czech sprit of his beloved Bohemia. The composer was deeply involved with his people’s struggle for cultural and political independence from the Hapsburg empire. He pledged his art to those aims, and he even took to the streets to fight on the barricades, on one occasion.
Smetana’s life was also beset by great misfortunes. When times were hardest, he always turned to music, even after illness made composing an almost impossible exertion. He created some of his most extraordinary works under the most painful circumstances. This week, Donald Macleod follows Smetana as he grows from naïve revolutionary into one of the foundational figures in Czech music.
Today, Smetana fights to defend his position as Prague’s leading music voice. The political battles that ensue are even more vicious than the musical ones. Then, just as matters seem to be resolving, tragedy strikes in his life once again.

Stories to Keep Space for on the Bookshelves
The Heir of Redclyffe
Soldiers fighting in the Crimean lapped up this story, and it also influenced the young William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones who read it at Oxford. The Heir of Redclyffe, published in 1853, reflects the mid-Victorian trend for medievalism and resurgence of High Church Anglicanism, combining gothic melodrama with sharply observed social realism, sprightly dialogue and wry humour. Although Charlotte M Yonge came to be associated mainly with domestic realism, in her long career (1823–1901) she worked across a wide range of genres, writing biographies, histories, children's books, and novels from historical epics to long-running family sagas. In her bicentenary year, New Generation Thinker Clare Walker Gore argues that now is the time to rediscover this brilliant and neglected woman writer.

Bedrich Smetana (1824-1884)
Valediction
Forced to withdraw from public life, Smetana worries about his future and his legacy. With Donald Macleod.
The title of Smetana’s most popular work, ‘Ma Vlast’, gives us a clue to what drove him through much of his career. It translates as ‘My Homeland’ and the music is Smetana’s ardent tribute to the Czech sprit of his beloved Bohemia. The composer was deeply involved with his people’s struggle for cultural and political independence from the Hapsburg empire. He pledged his art to those aims, and he even took to the streets to fight on the barricades, on one occasion.
Smetana’s life was also beset by great misfortunes. When times were hardest, he always turned to music, even after illness made composing an almost impossible exertion. He created some of his most extraordinary works under the most painful circumstances. This week, Donald Macleod follows Smetana as he grows from naïve revolutionary into one of the foundational figures in Czech music.
In today’s programme, Smetana is forced to abandon his home in Prague as his financial circumstances deteriorate. He works feverishly to produce new operas that might win over Czech audiences and secure the income he desperately needs. Away from the theatre, he’s creating some of his most personal and inspired music yet.

Polish symphonies with the BBC Symphony Orchestra
Sakari Oramo conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Chorus and Soloists in Szymanowski's Song of the Night, Bacewicz's Fourth Symphony and Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante.
“To be completely honest, I compose, because I find it pleasurable” said Grazyna Bacewicz, and her Fourth Symphony is like a bolt of electricity: energetic, atmospheric, and utterly original. It’s a gripping contrast to the fragrant ecstasies of Szymanowski’s ‘Song of the Night’, scored for solo tenor and chorus with orchestra -a symphony like no other from a composer who worshipped sensuality and sunlight. Nicky Spence is the tenor soloist.
For Sakari Oramo, though, these two great Polish symphonies are natural companions – and both make an unforgettable impression. He’s placing them both alongside the timeless beauty of one of Mozart’s most personal masterpieces – the magnificent Sinfonia Concertante, played today by two former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists who just happen to be two of the most charismatic string players of our time - violinist Johan Dalene and violist Timothy Ridout. This is music that demands no less.

Stories to Keep Space for on the Bookshelves
1000 Coils of Fear
As she travels the world and prepares to become a mother, the narrator of Olivia Wenzel’s novel reflects on her upbringing as a queer, Black woman in a white family, with her mother, a rebellious East German punk who was mostly absent, and her grandmother who was loyal to the socialist regime. Her father, an Angolan student, left shortly after she was born and her twin brother died when they were 17. For Queer History Month, New Generation Thinker Tom Smith looks at the ideas of queer family life explored in 1000 Serpentinen Angst, now available in an English translation by Dr Priscilla Layne as 1000 Coils of Fear.
Producer: Ruth Watts
FRI 23:00 Late Junction (m001hntj)
Shelf life
In the spirit of new year’s resolutions, Jennifer Lucy Allan spent the month of January cataloguing all her records, and this week shares a selection of forgotten treasures, unexpected oddities and recent additions from her shelves.
There’ll be slices of a live performance in Derby by industrial progenitors Throbbing Gristle from 1979, and Bengali radio producer Deben Bhattacharya’s ethnographic recordings in Romania, as well as lesser known Manchester post-punk from Human Trapped Rhythms alongside a classic English folk song from Judy Collins. Plus all manner of unexpected sound effects and spoken word on wax, from heartbeats and hospitals to earthquakes and protests.
Produced by Katie Callin
