The BBC has announced that it has a sustainable plan for the future of the BBC Singers, in association with The VOCES8 Foundation.
The threat to reduce the staff of the three English orchestras by 20% has not been lifted, but it is being reconsidered.

SAT 14:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00fr8gr)
Viola Lawrence Power and pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips

One of the foremost viola players, Laurence Power brings a spell-binding programme of music to Radio 3's 10th Anniversary Lunchtime Concert series, at the Wigmore Hall in London.

Schumann's Marchenbilder (Fairy Tales) creates a romantic world of fantasy and child-like imagination,and is one of the few 19th century works specifically written for viola. Shostakovich's Gadfly Suite, taken from his film score of 1955, includes the famous Romance, known to many as the theme to Reilly, Ace of Spies.

Laurence Power and pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips are also champions of the 20th century composer York Bowen, known as the English Rachmaninov. Bowen loved the dark autumnal tone of the viola, preferring it to the violin, and the sonata to be heard today is richly romantic and rhapsodic.

Amadou & Mariam

Lucy Duran presents world music CD releases as well as an interview and session with Amadou and Mariam, the husband and wife duo of guitarist Amadou Bagayoko and singer Mariam Doumbia, featuring material from their album Welcome to Mali.

They formed as a group in Bamako in 1980 and became well known throughout Mali, Burkino Faso and Ivory Coast for their distinctive blend of Malian music, blues and rock with Bambara language lyrics. They have since established themselves on the international circuit, been championed by Manu Chao and Damon Albarn, and were winners at the Radio 3 Awards for World Music for their 2006 album Dimanche a Bamako.

SUN 00:00 Jazz Library (b00fvl7h)
Art Ensemble of Chicago

In the 1960s, a quartet of Chicagoans altered the way improvising jazz groups approached form, instrumentation and structure. Originally led by saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell, the band developed to become the collective Art Ensemble of Chicago.

Their recording catalogue is sizeable and diverse, but Alyn Shipton picks a way through it to find the essential discs, guided by two surviving members, Mitchell and drummer Famadou Don Moye, and their original record producer Chuck Nessa. Including archive interviews with bassist Malachi Favors and trumpeter Lester Bowie.

Messiaen: Quartet for the End of Time

Stephen Johnson is joined by members of the Fibonacci Sequence for a detailed exploration of Messiaen's wartime piece Quartet for the End of Time, with pianist Kathron Sturrock, violinist Jack Liebeck, clarinettist Julian Farrell and cellist Benjamin Hughes, before a complete performance of the work, given at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.

In 1941, Messiaen was captured by the German army and held as a prisoner of war at Stalag VIII-A in Gorlitz. It was there, to an audience of about 400 fellow prisoners that he, along with clarinettist Henry Akoka, violinist Jean le Boulaire and cellist Etienne Pasquier, gave the world premiere performance of his eight-movement piece. 'Never was I listened to with such rapt attention and comprehension', the composer recalled after the event.

Robert and Clara: The Legend in the Making

Donald Macleod focuses on the beginning of Robert Schumann and Clara Wieck's relationship, beginning with a young Robert in Leipzig, following his mother's wishes for him to study law. A musical house party in 1828, at which he meets Friedrich Wieck and his little virtuoso daughter Clara, sees Robert instead pursuing his dream 'to devote myself entirely to music'.

The arts and ideas programme.

Rana Mitter talks to India's greatest living artist MF Husain, known as India's Picasso. He also discusses a new book which claims that we have witnessed 'the triumph of music' of all the art forms.

Rana also asks whether the traditional professional classes are slowly being dismantled. With the Bank of England warning of a white collar jobs implosion, social workers under fire and plans to 'liberalise' the legal system, the professions appear to be under attack. But are the traditional professional classes a closed-shop relic of a bygone age, or are they bastions of integrity and expertise whose independence and status should be respected?

MON 23:00 The Essay (b00fvnb8)
John Milton, the Essayist

Episode 1

Martyn Crucefix, a poet who also teaches in a secondary school, responds to Milton's treatise Of Education. It was written in 1644, when he was engaged in an urgent debate about how the Church should be organised and how the State should be governed. Crucefix finds that, just as more recent governments have declared, Milton believed 'education, education, education' needed to lie at the heart of this project.


MON 23:15 Jazz on 3 (b00fvnbb)
Herbie Hancock

Jez Nelson presents a highlight of the 2008 London Jazz Festival: a concert by Grammy Award winning pianist Herbie Hancock. Performing to a sell-out Barbican crowd Hancock plays music from classic albums including Headhunters and Speak Like A Child with a stellar line-up of musicians: New Orleans trumpeter Terence Blanchard, Benin born guitarist & vocalist Lionel Loueke, Gregoire Maret on harmonica, bassist James Genus and talented young drummer Kendrick Scott.

Since Herbie Hancock’s emergence on the scene as part of Donald Byrd’s band in 1961 he has been at the forefront of almost every major development in modern jazz. Whether it be joining Miles Davis’ second classic quintet and adopting the electronic piano as his instrument of choice, going platinum with the groundbreaking funk-jazz fusion of his Headhunters album, or joining the MTV generation with his revolutionary use of early electro and rap in the 1980s, Hancock has always been a true musical trailblazer.

Robert Schumann

The Battle for Clara

Donald Macleod explores Schumann's tortuous battle for Clara's hand in marriage. Her father Friedrich Wieck was determined to keep his daughter in his clutches at all costs, and legal battles, lengthy separations and slanderous attacks ensued before, undeterred, Robert and Clara were finally married in 1840 with the blessing of the court.

Musically, this was a fruitful period for Schumann. Donald is joined by pianist Lucy Parham to discuss his epic Fantasy for piano - described by the composer as 'the most passionate thing I have ever written'.

BBC Philharmonic/Reinbert de Leeuw

As part of Radio 3's celebration of the centenary of Olivier Messiaen in 2008, the BBC Philharmonic perform an-all Messiaen programme conducted by Reinbert de Leeuw, a committed advocate of the French composer's music.

Featuring Poemes pour Mi, the composer's love-letter to his first wife Claire Delbos, followed by Un sourire, written only a few months before Messiaen died to mark the bicentenary of Mozart's death.

The concert ends with his Chronochromie, which merges the Greek words cronos and croma - time and colour - and plays on the interaction between these two in musical terms.

TUE 21:15 Night Waves (b00fvtzy)
Samson Agonistes

As part of BBC Radio 3's season marking the 400th anniversary of John Milton's birth in 2008, Philip Dodd discussions his classic text Samson Agonistes. There has been much scholarly debate over whether Milton's dramatic poem, condones or criticises Samson's suicidal and genocidal attack on the Philistines. Since 9/11, that debate has taken on a topical urgency. Some scholars have questioned whether the work should be taught in schools, while others have regarded the notion of a terrorist act at the centre of Western Christian and literary history as a positive corrective to prevailing stereotypes.

John Milton, the Essayist

Episode 2

Sharon Achinstein, who is editing Milton's tracts on divorce, unravels his controversial and surprisingly modern views on the subject. In 1644, he was calling for no-fault divorce on grounds of mutual incompatibility - which the law finally allowed in 1977.

The Marriage Diaries

After Robert and Clara Schumann settled into married life in Leipzig, they immediately started a marriage diary. Donald and pianist Lucy Parham flick through some of the pages, which reveal that their marriage was not the 'poetry and flowers' that Robert had predicted, as both artists strived to maintain their musical careers.

Debussy, Messiaen

Wed, 10 December 2008 - Part 1

From St David's Hall, Cardiff. Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

The BBC National Orchestra of Wales celebrates the centenary of Olivier Messiaen with a concert under their chief conductor Thierry Fischer. The orchestra is joined by the Ladies of the BBC National Chorus of Wales and soloists Sandrine Piau and Madeleine Shaw for a performance of Debussy's La demoiselle elue - a setting of Rosetti's The Blessed Damozel, which depicts the entry of a dead woman's soul to Paradise.

A similar journey is taken in Messiaen's L'Ascension - an affirmation of Messiaen's Catholic beliefs conveyed in strong orchestral colour.

In a programme from the foyer of St David's Hall, Cardiff, Petroc Trelawny is joined by Messiaen scholars Christopher Dingle and Caroline Rae to celebrate the composer's centenary day.

They ask whether it is time to reassess our view of the composer, whose interests in nature and religious beliefs have been focused on to the exclusion of almost everything else.

Plus Messiaen at the organ, performing the movement which he totally reworked from the orchestral version of L'Ascension.

Anne McElvoy talks to distinguished French scholar Gilles Kepel, whose new book Beyond Terror and Martyrdom argues that the global clash between the neo-conservative world view of the War on Terror and the jihadist myth of martyrdom needs to be rethought and reimagined. He claims both narratives are bankrupt, arguing that building Mediterranean alliances is the key to resolving the tension between Islam and the West.

The Dresden Years

Amidst growing concerns for Robert's mental health, the Schumanns made the move in 1845 to Dresden, where he took to the podium as conductor of an amateur choir and, with Clara's assistance, led several performances of his own works. But his strange leadership did not always go down well with the choristers.

If musical life seemed dull, all that was about to change with the Dresden uprisings in 1849, after which Robert fled the city, leaving his pregnant wife Clara to brave the battleground and rescue their children to safety.

Tony Benn

In a discussion in front of an audience at Radio 3's Free Thinking Festival 2008 in Liverpool, Susan Hitch is joined by former Labour MP and cabinet minister Tony Benn to reflect on one of the key themes of the festival: the value of experience.

He talks about being taken by his father to meet Gandhi when he was six years old, and the pleasure he still remembers when the father of Indian independence asked him questions and listened to his thoughts. He muses on the importance of listening to the young as well as advising them, and describes Marx as the last of the Old Testament prophets. Crucially, he explains that his own experience of two world wars, his time as a pilot and the deaths of friends and his brother, are intrinsic to his commitment to peace. He also talks about his new practical invention 'Benn's Safe Seat'.
