A View From The Organ Loft
1. Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles
Anna crosses the pond to visit the organ of Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, California. The Frank Gehry designed building opened in 2003, and its modern concert hall has a striking appearance, as does the organ with its higgledy-piggledy pipes. Anna shares her experiences of performing there alongside her own musical discoveries linked to this part of the world, like the film music of John Williams, an instrumental work by The Beach Boys, and Meredith Brammeier’s wonderfully pictorial Flock of Geese. She also speaks to Meghan Umber from the Los Angeles Philharmonic about how the organ got its nickname.
Plus, Anna admires Cameron Carpenter for finding a way to solve the most time-consuming part of being a touring organist…

Building a Library
Tasmin Little selects her favourite version of Franz Schubert's Octet in F major (D. 803)
Franz Schubert’s Octet in F major was commissioned by the monied amateur clarinettist, Count Ferdinand Troyer, who desired a companion piece to the phenomenally popular septet of his composition tutor, Beethoven. Busy composing his own string quartets at the time, Schubert chose not only to emulate the 6-movement sequence of Beethoven’s Septet, but to also use as his model the seven-person-strong ensemble conceived by his elder compositional statesman. The decision to add a second violin to the ensemble's instrumental forces may seem like a busy composer trying both to save time, and satisfy the brief of his patron’s request. The move, though, appears to have served Schubert’s desire to develop a more orchestral compositional style – an ambition about which he wrote to his friend “I have tried my hand at several instrumental works. I wrote two quartets… and an Octet… in fact I intend to pave my way towards a grand symphony.” His Octet is littered, as a result, with examples of the creativity that Schubert would later employ to great effect in his symphonies.

Jess talks to Will about his life as a musician, and they share some of their favourite music, including the soundtrack work of Ennio Morricone, the orchestral pyrotechnics of Berlioz, a song by The Shangri-Las, and, naturally, saxophone, courtesy of Charlie Parker.
SAT 18:00 Opera on 3 (m0023xz7)
Handel's Giulio Cesare in Egitto
A tale of vengeance and passion from Rome Opera, starring Mary Bevan as Queen Cleopatra and Raffaele Pé as her lover, the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar.
In Handel's greatest opera, based on real-life events, Julius Caesar discovers that his rival Pompey has been cruelly executed by the Egyptian King, Ptolemy. Cleopatra, who is Ptolemy's sister but also his rival for power, decides to seduce Caesar to secure his support and tip the balance of power in her own favour. But as events play out, Cleopatra and Caesar realise they've fallen genuinely in love - something painted by Handel in a succession of show-stopping arias by turns seductive, desperate, triumphant and tender. Ptolemy's defeat is now imperative, and the feud between the siblings becomes an all-out war. With alliances constantly shifting, who will emerge victorious?
Presented by Tom Service in conversation with opera historian Sarah Lenton.

Garth Greenwell
The American writer Garth Greenwell won widespread acclaim for his first novel, What Belongs to You, including the British Book Award for the Debut of the Year in 2016.
This success would have surprised his high-school teachers in Kentucky. As a teenager, he failed English and decided to follow a very different path: he turned to singing and eventually trained as an opera singer.
Studying music led him back to literature – writing poems, novels and working as a teacher in Bulgaria. His most recent novel, Small Rain, focuses on a severe medical emergency which leads to deep meditations on our vulnerability, life and love.
Garth's musical passions include works by Mahler, Britten, Richard Strauss and the 16th century English composer John Taverner.

Albinoni
Ana Her celebrates the life and work of Italian composer Tomaso Albinoni, known for his operas and instrumental music, marking the 350th anniversary of his birth on 8 June 1671. It is thought that Albinoni wrote at least 50 operas, although few of them survive. His oboe concertos were the first of their type by an Italian composer to be published, and his instrumental music was admired by Bach, who wrote fugues based on Albinoni's works and also used them in his teaching.

Will Gregory’s Listening Chair
Elizabeth Alker offers a range of tracks with Moogs and analogue synths at their heart as synth legend Will Gregory takes a seat in the Unclassified Listening chair to describe a piece of music that transports him elsewhere.
Will Gregory began playing music at school because “it was the only thing I was good at”, starting out on the oboe and then switching to the saxophone, which he played as a member of Tears for Fears in the 1980s. Since then, he’s performed with and composed for an extraordinary range of groups and ensembles, notably on synth as one half of Goldfrapp and as founder member of the Will Gregory Moog ensemble. For nearly two decades, that outfit has used a range of Moogs alongside Roland and Korg synths to perform specially composed music, transcriptions of classical works, and their own versions of music from popular culture and film scores.

MON 16:00 Composer of the Week (m0023yls)
Margaret Bonds (1913-1972)
Welcome to the House of Music
Donald Macleod and musicologist and pianist Dr Samantha Ege introduce the musical upbringing of African American pioneer composer Margaret Bonds.
Margaret Bonds (1913-1972) was one of the most important composers and pianists of her time. She wrote several dozens of art songs, arranged many traditional spirituals, and composed large-scale cantatas. From her native Chicago where she was the first black performer to play with the Symphony Orchestra to the buzzing stages of New York where she set poetic gems to music, and at a time of racial discrimination and fight for civil rights, her story is one of determination, friendship, and absolute dedication to music-making. As such, the programme does include some language of the period.
In this first programme, we explore Bonds' early life in 1920s Chicago, at the time of a major literary and artistic Renaissance. In a house filled with music, with her mother Estella at its head, she grew up surrounded by the most fascinating and creative figures.

The London Symphony Orchestra - a new era begins
The London Symphony Orchestra is conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano in his first concerts as the orchestra's Chief Conductor.
A new era begins as Antonio Pappano opens the new season with an orchestra he has known for three decades. "The sky is the limit when working with musicians like this," he comments, "It's a gift from heaven."
Their Barbican programme begins in the dark void before the warm sun arises over the Acropolis and ends in a blaze of Finnish bravado. And, to mark this occasion, the orchestra premieres Sir James MacMillan's Concerto for Orchestra, which he dedicates to Antonio Pappano.
Presented by Martin Handley and recorded at London's Barbican Centre on 11 September.

Elsewhere, Classical Live's orchestra-in-focus the BBC National Orchestra of Wales performs 'Harold in Italy' by Berlioz: a fusion of a symphony with a viola concerto. The work was commissioned by virtuoso violinist Niccolò Paganini to show off a new viola he'd bought. Famously, Paganini never performed it; whilst he admired the work, he deemed it insufficiently flashy—a criticism he grew to regret.

Margaret Bonds (1913-1972)
Glorious Revelations
Donald Macleod and musicologist and pianist Dr Samantha Ege follow Margaret Bonds to university where she makes a life-changing discovery, and to the stage for her first performing successes.
Margaret Bonds (1913-1972) was one of the most important composers and pianists of her time. She wrote several dozens of art songs, arranged many traditional spirituals, and composed large-scale cantatas. From her native Chicago where she was the first black performer to play with the Symphony Orchestra to the buzzing stages of New York where she set poetic gems to music, and at a time of racial discrimination and fight for civil rights, her story is one of determination, friendship, and absolute dedication to music-making. As such, the programme does include some language of the period.
In this second programme, Margaret Bonds goes to university where she is directly confronted to racism and segregation, away from the protected circle of her childhood home. There, she discovers a text that will save her, as she told years later. With her teacher and good friend Florence Price, she also takes centre stage in a landmark concert in which the talented young pianist shines.

Margaret Bonds (1913-1972)
Sing With All Your Soul
Donald Macleod and musicologist and pianist Dr Samantha Ege, celebrate the art of songwriting as Margaret Bonds opens a grand new chapter of her life in New York City.
Margaret Bonds (1913-1972) was one of the most important composers and pianists of her time. She wrote several dozens of art songs, arranged many traditional spirituals, and composed large-scale cantatas. From her native Chicago where she was the first black performer to play with the Symphony Orchestra to the buzzing stages of New York where she set poetic gems to music, and at a time of racial discrimination and fight for civil rights, her story is one of determination, friendship, and absolute dedication to music-making. As such, the programme does include some language of the period.
In this third programme, we look at Margaret Bonds' incredibly prolific work on art songs, collaborating with some of the most inspiring poets, including Langston Hughes. But Chicago is becoming too small for her ambition. New York is next, with all its exciting opportunities, and its challenges too.

Farz Edraki - The Other Mother
Writer Farz Edraki takes comfort from the eel.
Never particularly viewed as a poet's muse, it is however a force of nature, powering through Sydney's Centennial Park to wider waters - fuelled by its innate instinct to make babies.
And babies have been on Farz's mind, as kindly compliments about the speed with which she's up on her feet after pregnancy lead to a dilemma...
These essays were recorded in front of an audience at the Sydney Theatre Company. The writers acknowledged the Gadigal people and paid respects to elders past and present.

Margaret Bonds (1913-1972)
Black Pride
Donald Macleod and musicologist and pianist Dr Samantha Ege continue Margaret Bonds' story, as she works with a pioneer diva, and composes a powerful piece inspired by the civil rights movement.
Margaret Bonds (1913-1972) was one of the most important composers and pianists of her time. She wrote several dozens of art songs, arranged many traditional spirituals, and composed large-scale cantatas. From her native Chicago where she was the first black performer to play with the Symphony Orchestra to the buzzing stages of New York where she set poetic gems to music, and at a time of racial discrimination and fight for civil rights, her story is one of determination, friendship, and absolute dedication to music-making. As such, the programme does include some language of the period.
In this fourth programme, Margaret Bonds establishes her career in New York with great success, spending every spare moment writing music. But at a time of high racial and social tension, the fight for equality inspires Bonds to compose her orchestral masterpiece.

Luka Lesson - Two Villages
Poet Luka Lesson's great grandmother Magdalini was a midwife, for decades, on hand to help the people of her small Greek village.
A pilgrimage to that place sees Luka consider his own role as a new father, and the gradual introduction of his child to their "village".
But an aspect of that introduction is an unhappy one, and Luka considers just how precarious the feeling of belonging can be.
This programme contains strong discriminatory language.
These essays were recorded in front of an audience at the Sydney Theatre Company. The writers acknowledged the Gadigal people and paid respects to elders past and present.

Margaret Bonds (1913-1972)
A Laugh for the Road
Donald Macleod is joined by musicologist and pianist Dr Samantha Ege, author of 'South Side Impresarios: How Race Women Transformed Chicago’s Classical Music Scene' (published 12 November 2024 by the University of Illinois Press). They tell the final chapter of Margaret Bonds' life, filled with well-deserved recognition, new departures, and irreparable heartbreaks.
Margaret Bonds (1913-1972) was one of the most important composers and pianists of her time. She wrote several dozens of art songs, arranged many traditional spirituals, and composed large-scale cantatas. From her native Chicago where she was the first black performer to play with the Symphony Orchestra to the buzzing stages of New York where she set poetic gems to music, and at a time of racial discrimination and fight for civil rights, her story is one of determination, friendship, and absolute dedication to music-making. As such, the programme does include some language of the period.
In this fifth programme, Margaret Bonds receives a nationwide recognition for her work, including a most special one from her native Chicago. But a friend is about to go, and this will prove impossible to overcome; she can't bear to stay in New York, she has to flee...

FRI 22:00 Late Junction (m0023yl8)
John Carpenter’s mixtape
It's Halloween, everyone's entitled to one good scare…
Prepare for a mixtape from the master of horror, John Carpenter. Known as the Prince of Darkness, Carpenter is one of the most celebrated directors and composers of the horror genre, the man behind the Halloween series, The Thing and The Fog among many others.
A huge music-lover, Carpenter believes music is the greatest of all artforms and a reason to be alive. So with that in mind, he has curated some of his favourite tracks for the Late Junction mixtape, including soundtracks from Dario Argento’s Suspiria composed by the Italian prog-rock band Goblin, compositions by Ennio Morricone and Vince DiCola, and some classics from the likes of Devo and Buffy Saint-Marie.
Elsewhere in the show, voice artist Anna Clemati and producer and multi-instrumentalist Thomas Stern join forces to channel Kurt Schwitters’ dada poetry via electronics, loops, and pots and pans. Plus, a new folk song from Los Angeles based “walking, talking jukebox” Jerron Paxton, and mercurial drone-metal cello from Oliver Coates.
