Mendelssohn Weekend

Catherine Bott talks to Christoph Wolff about Mendelssohn's love of the music of the Bachs and the links between these two families. Mendelssohn's great aunt, Sara Levy, studied with JS Bach's son, Wilhelm Friedemann, and she also owned a very extensive collection of music, among which were many works by Johann Sebastian and his four sons. Madame Levy also commissioned new works and became a patron for the two elder Bach brothers.

The programme includes excerpts from Mendelssohn's arrangement of JS Bach's St Matthew Passion and works by two of his sons, WF and CPE Bach.

The programme begins with the much-loved Hebrides Overture, composed in 1829 on a trip to Scotland, and which was dedicated to an important continental monarch - King Federick William IV of Prussia. It is followed by choral pieces which were a response to the heritage of German and congregational music.

Aided by the deputy surveyor of the Queen's works of art, Jonathan Marsden, who has researched the composer's visits, Sean views excerpts from Mendelssohn's and Victoria's letters and journals, and finds out why he was so popular there.

With recollections of the rooms they stayed in, the music played, the works of art the composer saw and gifts exchanged in the form of the Scottish Symphony dedication and Victoria's ring. There are also accounts of Mendelssohn's improvisational skills and the shared interests among the three of them, including Shakespeare and British history.

Mendelssohn, the Nazis and Me

Sheila Hayman, a descendant of Mendelssohn's sister Fanny, explores how Felix tried to reconcile his Christianity with his Jewish roots, tracing the events from his time to the emergence of the Third Reich.

She talks to conductor Kurt Masur, an Aryan boy in 1930s Berlin, forbidden to listen to Mendelssohn, and Claus Moser, a Jewish boy in Berlin at the same time, forbidden to listen to Beethoven and consoled by Mendelssohn. Steven Isserlis shows how Mendelssohn's own struggle between his two faiths can be heard in his music.

And Hayman's cousin Cecile, an adolescent in the Third Reich, talks for the first time of how it felt to be a 'Mischling', belonging neither with Jews nor Aryans, in a world where being a Mendelssohn had suddenly changed from a badge of pride to a source of shame, and even mortal danger.


SAT 21:45 Mendelssohn Weekend (b00k9py1)

Louise Fryer discusses Radio 3's newly commissioned collection of Songs Without Words with the pianist who recorded them, Andrew Zolinsky. The works were composed by Anna Meredith, James Olsen, Emily Hall, Lloyd Moore, Cheryl Frances-Hoad and Vlad Maistorovici.

Mendelssohn Weekend - The Great Trip

Edward Bennett reads extracts from letters Mendelssohn wrote during the 'Great Trip'. In 1829, aged 20, the young and impressionable composer embarked on a tour that lasted until 1832.

It was the longest trip undertaken by any musician in modern times and spanned England, Scotland, the Swiss Alps and European cities such as Vienna, Rome and Paris. The journey concluded in London, a city where Mendelssohn felt particularly at home. Throughout the trip, Mendelssohn wrote letters to his family about his impressions of the landscape, culture and customs of the different countries he encountered. It was also a process of self-discovery where he thought about his future plans and his identity as a German.
In London he sees streets shrouded in fog; in Edinburgh he scrambles up Arthur's Seat for a view of the city.
He notes in Vienna that people do nothing at all. Travelling down the Danube by boat is a highlight and in Pressburg he joins in the celebrations for the crowning of the King of Hungary. His final destination is London, where he is overwhelmed by the enthusiastic reception by audiences.

The programme includes music written by Mendelssohn alongside music the composer would have heard during his years of travelling.


SAT 23:30 Hear and Now (b00k9py5)
Manchester Portraits

Steven Mackey

In a programme recorded at Studio 7 in Manchester, Robert Worby explores the work of American composer Steven Mackey, who talks about his music and introduces four orchestral works.

Steven began his surprising career path playing electric guitar in rock bands in Northern California. Describing a formative early influence, he went to a gig by prog rock band Yes in 1973, and heard beautiful orchestral music playing over the PA - he found out that it was Stravinsky's Firebird, and wanted to explore this music further.

Now a professor of music at Princeton, he continues to play electric guitar, and has written two concertos for the instrument. As a composer he is noted for his highly individual style, a multi-layered play of rhythm and sonority which incorporates and plays with references to classical and popular music.

Private Passions - John Sessions as Felix Mendelssohn

Michael Berkeley is transported to the Isle of Staffa, where he meets the great Felix Mendelssohn (aka John Sessions) and his charming sister Fanny Hensel (Rebecca Front). A certain amount of inter-sibling rivalry ensues.


SUN 13:00 Mendelssohn Weekend (b00k9q6y)
The Salon

The Sunday Salon

Louise Fryer explores Mendelssohn's chamber music, including his popular Octet, Op 20, written at the age of just 16. A work widely recognised as his first masterpiece, the recording is the winner of CD Review's Building a Library survey.

The programme also includes the young Kungsbacka Trio, former Radio 3 New Generation Artists, performing Mendelssohn's Piano Trio in D minor, one of his most successful chamber works. A darker note is struck by the composer's final String Quartet, often interpreted as a response to the death of his beloved sister Fanny, and which was written in the final months of his own life.

SUN 15:00 Mendelssohn Weekend (b00k9q70)
Mendelssohn Revealed

Tom Service, Louise Fryer and studio guests including writer and broadcaster Judith Chernaik and conductor Ben Parry reassess Mendelssohn's reputation and legacy 200 years after his birth, asking what lies behind our tendency to underrate him?

Conductors Riccardo Chailly and Christopher Hogwood give their thoughts about the composer and what his music means to them, and pianist Roberto Prosseda talks about the recently reconstructed third piano concerto which offers some insights into the compositional direction Mendelssohn might have taken were it not for his untimely death.

And Tom goes in search of the truth behind the recent stories about the composer's infatuation with the Swedish soprano Jenny Lind, while the programme also hears from some of the 100 choirs around the UK singing Mendelssohn's O for the Wings of a Dove.

SUN 17:00 Discovering Music (b00k9q72)
Mendelssohn Weekend - Italian Symphony

Charles Hazlewood and the BBC Concert Orchestra explore the history and workings of Mendelssohn's popular 4th Symphony - the Italian, discovering that the composer was torn between two artistic ideals - using music to express the poetic and extra-musical, and creating a taut, pure symphonic construction that would be deemed worthy of a successor to Beethoven.

Mendelssohn never managed to fully reconcile the two and he remained dissatisfied with his symphony. He withdrew it and it was never published in his lifetime. But that didn't stop it becoming immensely popular and a staple part of the symphonic repertoire.

In considering the work and its revisions, Charles provides an insight into Mendelssohn's philosophy as a symphonist, as well as the role that Mendelssohn's mentor, Goethe, played in directing the young composer. The programme also features a performance of Mendelssohn's overture inspired by a poem of Goethe, Die Erste Walpurgisnacht.


SUN 18:30 Choir and Organ (b00k9q8m)
Mendelssohn Weekend

In a programme from the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, Aled Jones and his guests explore how Mendelssohn's creative personality was laid bare in his choral music.

Manchester Chamber Choir, conducted by Richard Tanner, perform sacred and secular works from across Mendelssohn's choral career. Scunthorpe Co-operative Junior Choir, conducted by Sue Hollingworth are joined by the boys of Oldham Youth Choir, directed by Eileen Bentley, to give a special performance of Hear my Prayer in the culmination of Radio 3's Wings project - a nationwide event in which choirs all over Britain have signed up to perform O for the Wings of a Dove.

TUE 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00k9qjr)
CBSO and Chorus/Oramo

In a concert given in Symphony Hall, Birmingham, Martin Handley presents the grand finale of the IgorFest series.

The programme features works by Stravinsky, including Fireworks, which shows the influence of Stravinsky's teacher Rimsky-Korsakov. It is followed by the comic opera Mavra - dedicated to Tchaikovsky - and which is a witty setting of a Pushkin tale set in a Russian village.

His strange, visionary 1912 cantata The King of the Stars precedes a work composed at the same time, and famous for its scandalous Paris premiere - The Rite of Spring.

Stravinsky: Fireworks; Four Russian Peasant Songs; Mavra; The King of the Stars; The Rite of Spring
Anita Watson: Parasha
Liora Grodnikaite: The Neighbour

Episode 3

Donald describes a boast at the breakfast table which saw Bach come unstuck as he tried to dazzle a friend with his sight-reading at the keyboard. Nevertheless, the composer's decade at the ducal court in Weimar also saw him reach new heights as a chamber musician.

Handel: Alessandro - Acts 1 and 2

Handel Operas 2009

Radio 3's complete cycle of Handel's operas continues with Acts 1 and 2 of his tale of Alexander the Great's advance into India. After he capture one of its cities, the Macedonian king becomes embroiled in a complicated love triangle with two captive princesses. The composer used the rivalry between his original leading women - sopranos Faustina Bordoni and Francesca Cuzzoni - in his adaptation of the original material for the opera, giving them equal billing.

Handel expert Suzana Ograjensek - herself a soprano specialising in the Baroque repertory - explains the genesis of this work.

LSO/Gergiev

Martin Handley presents a concert given at the Barbican Hall, London, for the London Symphony Orchestra's Emigres series, featuring three important works by European emigres in the USA, written in the 1930s and 1940s.

Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements, with its bold American gloss and material Stravinsky originally intended for Hollywood movie soundtracks, is followed by Schoenberg's Violin Concerto, a highly virtuosic piece that was branded unplayable at the time. These are followed by Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances, his final composition, and which conjure his Russian homeland.

Nikolaj Znaider (violin)

Valery Gergiev (conductor)

Often described as having a surreal style, Kaufman's previous work includes Being John Malkovich, Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. His new film is about a theatre director who struggles with his work and the women in his life, as he attempts to create a life-size replica of New York inside a warehouse as part of his new play.

Great Russians: Shostakovich

Fri, 15th May 2009 - Part 1

From the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, Martin Handley presents a concert from the BBC Philharmonic's Great Russians series.

The orchestra's Russian chief guest conductor Vassily Sinaisky appears with one of Britain's operatic stars, John Tomlinson, for the Suite on Verses of Michelangelo, which are settings of verses by the great Italian artist and poet. One of Shostakovich's last works, written in 1974, it is symphonic in scope, and consists of 11 orchestral songs in which every text has to do with the life and work of the artist, including his achievements, his setbacks, his loves and his sense of destiny.

Shostakovich: Suite on Verses of Michelangelo.


FRI 19:40 Twenty Minutes (b00kczwd)
Michelangelo the Poet

Mario Petrucci, who was Radio 3's first poet in residence, looks at the original Italian manuscripts and surveys the various translations to reveal the qualities of the 300 or so sonnets and other poems that Michelangelo wrote, asking what drew Shostakovich to them. He discovers a writer of considerable range, formal accomplishment and intelligence, qualities which are considered as marking his genius as a visual artist.

When he died in 1564, Buonarroti Michelangelo was regarded as one of the leading poets of his age, a great lyrical voice. But his colossal achievement in other fields has cast a shadow over his contribution to literature. Yet, down the generations, major artists such as Wordsworth have always engaged with his poetry.


FRI 20:00 Performance on 3 (b00kczwg)
Great Russians: Shostakovich

Fri, 15th May 2009 - Part 2

From the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. Presented by Martin Handley.

The concert concludes with Vassily Sinaisky conducting the BBC Philharmonic in Shostakovich's Symphony No 10, which was premiered in 1953, not long after the death of Stalin. It was the composer's first symphonic work since his official denunciation in 1948, and some say that the short and violent second movement is a musical portrait of the dictator.
