Direct from the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Frederic Chaslin conducts a revival of Franco Zeffirelli's celebrated production of Puccini's much-loved opera, with a cast headed by Latvian soprano Maija Kovalevska as Mimi and Ramon Vargas as Rodolfo.

A story that has touched opera audiences ever since its creation in 1895, it tells of the love between penniless young artists in 19th-century Paris, blighted by jealousy, harsh living conditions and grave illness.

Presented by Margaret Juntwait with guest commentator Ira Siff. The two intervals include live backstage interviews and the popular Metropolitan Opera Quiz.

SUNDAY 04 JANUARY 2009

SUN 00:00 The Early Music Show (b007r9z1)
Henry VIII

Henry VIII was one of the most remarkable and formidable English monarchs. The portrayal of Henry as a cantankerous despot has outshone the youthful Henry who was devoted to sports and arts. In his twenties and thirties, Henry penned several secular compositions, a variety of partsongs and consorts, 34 of which were compiled in the so-called "Henry VIII manuscript". This manuscript also included works by several other musicians who passed through Henry's court, such as William Cornysh and Robert Fayrfax, and in today's programme Lucie Skeaping presents a selection of secular music from this manuscript.

SUN 21:30 Sunday Feature (b00gd7hr)
Vril

Matthew Sweet finds out about Vril, the infinitely powerful energy source of the species of superhumans which featured in Victorian author and politician Edward Bulwer Lytton's pioneering science fiction novel The Coming Race. Although it was completely fictional, many people were desperate to believe it really existed and had the power to transform their lives.

At Knebworth House - Lytton's vast, grandiloquent Gothic mansion, where Matthew meets Lytton's great-great-great-grandson - he hears how the book was meant to be a warning about technology, soulless materialism and utopian dreams. At the Royal Albert Hall, Matthew discovers how a doctor, Herbert Tibbits, along with a handful of aristocrats, tried to promote the notion of electrical cures and the possibility of a 'coming race'.

Along the way, Matthew and his contributors consider why so many English people have been so desperate to see the fantasy of regeneration transformed into fact.


SUN 22:15 Words and Music (b00gd7ht)
The Year

This edition of Words and Music explores the changing seasons for the first programme of the New year. Andrew Lincoln and Emma Fielding read a selection of poetry interspersed with seasonal music.

I chose Ted Hughes' Seasons Songs as a thread for the programme. These fine poems are full of sharp observation and the feeling of natural forces of destruction and renewal. Alongside Ted Hughes, I chose a range of poetry which picked up on these themes from Thomas Hardy, Robert Frost and William Blake among others.

I selected some music directly linked to seasons - from Piazzolla's atmospheric tangos from Kremerata Baltica, to Cage's studies in sound for his Seasons and the legendary recording of Gershwin's Summertime from Sarah Vaughan. At other times, there's abstract music which seemed to match the mood of the readings. Fretwork's recording of Byrd leads to Robert Grave's A Prayer for Spring; Steve Reich's Music for mallet instruments, voices and organ matches picks up on the "famous express" of Hughes' Deceptions leading to Gerald Manley Hopkins's poem about the cuckoo where "the whole landscape flushes on a sudden at a sound".

A centre point for the programme is Samuel Barber's Summer Music in a vibrant recording by the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet which leads to the playful poem "Hay" by Ted Hughes.

The programme draws to a close with DH Lawrence's elegy for winter, and Ligeti's sparse Atmospheres. I end with Tennyson's poem, Death of the Old Year which beautifully depicts the feeling of loss at the end of the year, and tentative hope as a new year begins.

Henry Purcell (1659-1695)

Episode 1

Donald Macleod and Purcell expert Bruce Wood look at the important events of Purcell's early years. The years of the Commonwealth were lean times for musicians. The restoration of monarchy brought the re-establishment of Royal Music and young Purcell was quick to follow in the family tradition in the service of the King.

Henry Purcell (1659-1695)

Episode 2

Donald Macleod and Bruce Wood chart Purcell's progress in his early 20s. By this time he was married and working at Charles II's court. He was also holding down duties at Westminster Abbey. Life was good, yet tinged at the same time with sadness as he had to cope with a number of deaths in his family including two of his own children.

Prom 58 - Repeat

Presented by Catherine Bott.

Another chance to hear a 2008 Prom given by the New York Philharmonic under music director Lorin Maazel, in which they perform music from two great 20th century ballets and a symphony by the 19th century's greatest ballet composer.

The concert begins with Ravel's fairy tale-inspired Mother Goose, which began life as an amusement at the piano, and was developed into an orchestral ballet score. This is followed by Bartok's ballet The Miraculous Mandarin, a dark tale of robbery, passion and murder, with a colourful orchestral score, as well as Tchaikovsky's powerful Fourth Symphony, exploring the theme of Fate.

Bidisha talks to director Danny Boyle about his new, award-winning film Slumdog Millionaire, which tells the story of a poor Indian boy on the cusp of winning the Who Wants to be a Millioniare jackpot. Based on the novel Q and A by Vikas Swarup, the film, shot and set in India, traces the turbulent life of a young street beggar whose appearance on the show exceeds people's expectations and raises suspicions from the game show host and police. Bidisha asks whether it will match the success of Boyle's previous films such as 28 Days Later, Trainspotting and Sunshine.

In a concert from London's Barbican, the BBC Symphony Orchestra celebrates the vibrancy of Czech music with its chief conductor Jiri Belohlavek, a leading exponent of the music of his homeland.

Performance on 3: Smetana, Suk, Mahler, Dvorak

Thu, 8 January 2009 - Part 2

From the Barbican, London.

The concert concludes with a work by Mahler, who grew up in a town now located in the Czech Republic, and was strongly influenced by the piquant flavour of local folk music as a youth, as is amply demonstrated in his Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen. This is followed by that most romantic and best-loved of all of Dvorak's symphonies, written in memory of the Czech land he had left behind.

Susan Hitch presents a programme recorded in front of an audience at the FACT arts centre in Liverpool as part of the 2008 Radio 3 Free Thinking festival of ideas. KLF musician and conceptual artist Bill Drummond explains how his life story informs his new thesis on the future of music.

His latest project, called 17, combines music, art and polemic and involves him travelling up and down the country, assembling choirs choirs composed of 17 members. They perform a work, which is then destroyed in order to illustrate Drummond's theory that recorded music is dead, and that the future lies in the live musical event.

Prom 74: Pintscher, Mahler

Prom 74 - Repeat

Presented by Catherine Bott.

Another chance to hear a Prom in which the Orchestre de Paris and conductor Christoph Eschenbach pair early Mahler with a major work by Matthias Pintscher, who is considered to be one of the most arresting compositional voices of our time. American soprano Marisol Montalvo sings Pintscher's Herodiade Fragments, based on texts by the French Symbolist poet Stephane Mallarme. Like Mahler before him, Pintscher pushes to the limits the relationship between the human voice and the huge orchestra at his disposal.

FRI 23:15 World on 3 (b00gdbqt)
Manu Chao Special

Charlie Gillett died this week and as a tribute to the former presenter of World on 3, there's another chance to hear his Manu Chao Special, first broadcast in 2009. Charlie was joined in the BBC's Maida Vale studios by the world music superstar who performed an acoustic solo session, and introduced his favourite tracks.

Charlie Gillett, who presented World on 3 on Radio 3, and a weekly World Service programme, has died at the age of 68. He had stopped working for the BBC in January, because of ill health.
Tributes from listeners poured in to the BBC website after news of Gillett's death last night.
From his work for Radio London in the 1970s Gillett built a long and successful career, championing new music and world music. He was instrumental in the discovery of Dire Straits, playing their demo tape on his Radio London show, and at one stage managed Kilburn and High Roads, whose lead singer was Ian Dury. He was also influential in the spread of the wide range of styles and artists collectively known as world music and championed the careers of Youssou N'Dour, Salif Keita and Mariza.

Manu Chao was born in Paris in 1961 of Spanish parents: they had left Spain to escape Franco's rule. He founded a punk band 'Mano Negra' in 1987, which enjoyed great popularity in the French and Spanish-speaking worlds. Inspired by a tour of Latin America on a train in the 1990s, Manu changed his musical course and began performing in a new style with influences from street music, reggae and everyday sounds. His 1998 album 'Clandestino' soon attracted a strong following, and his second album 'Proxima Estacion: Esperanza' brought him world fame. He released his third album 'La Radiolina' in 2007.
