The threat to reduce the staff of the three English orchestras by 20% has not been lifted, but it is being reconsidered.

SAT 15:00 World Routes (b00lmsln)
Changui de Guantanamo

In the year of the 50th anniversary of the Cuban revolution, World Routes features a specially recorded studio session by Cuban five-piece Changui de Guantanamo. Presenter Lucy Duran first encountered this group on the road as part of her World Routes report from Cuba in June 2007.

Changui is an old style from the Eastern Guantanamo province dating back to the 19th century and combining elements of Spanish guitar and African traditions. The songs are played on instruments such as the marimbula thumb piano, the tres (a kind of three-stringed guitar), and an array of percussion including the guiro, maracas and bongos.

Lucy is also joined in the studio by Sue Steward and Crispin Robinson for a look at some recent Cuban and Latin-American releases on CD.

SAT 18:00 Opera on 3 (b00lmsls)
Britten's Peter Grimes

The final offering from Opera on 3 before the Proms, this English National Opera Peter Grimes was the hot ticket of the season. Sold out for its entire run, David Alden's production wowed critics and audiences alike with its unconventional but powerful take on Britten's music drama, set at the time of its premiere - postwar Britain.

The cast that inspired this adulation included Amanda Roocroft as Ellen Orford, Gerald Finley as Captain Balstrode and Australian tenor Stuart Skelton in the epic title role - a compelling interpretation of the misunderstood outsider, victim of his own weaknesses and contradictions, at once unstable and unpredictable, visionary and violent.

Edward Gardiner conducts an orchestra and chorus on top form in an unforgettable operatic experience.

Presented by Martin Handley.

Peter Grimes ...... Stuart Skelton (tenor)
Ellen Orford ...... Amanda Roocroft (soprano)

She speaks with new artistic director Pierre-Laurent Aimard as he presents his first festival, and introduces a selection of musical highlights. Centenarian American composer Elliott Carter's Fifth String Quartet is performed by the Quatour Diotima, and Carter is recorded in conversation with Laurent-Aimard, who premieres two short piano works.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00lk7s5)
Jonathan Harvey (1939-)

Episode 1

Donald Macleod is in the company of British composer Jonathan Harvey, a fastidious craftsman whose works are very much music of integration, often bringing together different worlds: cutting-edge electronics and traditional instruments, past and present, material and ethereal.

Harvey is singularly thoughtful about his own art and the process by which he makes it, but he is not a composer with his head in the clouds - he is very much hands-on when it comes to computer technology and electronics, and how they can be harnessed to open up new worlds of the imagination.

He is a composer whose work encompasses the realms of bliss as well as the practicalities and imperfections of the world of real instruments and earthly musicians. In an interview some time ago, he asked himself what the purpose of music is: 'It is, in my view, to reveal the nature of suffering and to heal - the one big question of existence.'

Including a hymn to Angels (an abiding interest of Harvey's, and he is often conscious of their presence in everyday life), and the now-classic electronic work Mortuos Plango, Vivos Voco, whose two main sonic components are the great tenor bell of Winchester Cathedral and the treble voice of Harvey's own son Dominic (who was a Winchester chorister in the late 1970s). Plus a pair of viola pieces that evoke the image of a remote Tibetan monastery; and Song Offerings, a magical song-cycle set to the words of Rabindranath Tagore, and one of the composer's most beautiful and accessible works.

MON 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00lk7sf)
From the 2009 Cheltenham Festival, a programme of music featuring the talented young professionals of today and of the future. Orchestra Europa is a fledgling orchestra, set up by its young conductor Scott Ellaway to bring together the best conservatoire graduates before they find permanent positions in established orchestras across Europe.

They perform Schubert's final Symphony, and music by Mendelssohn, a composer who was always interested in his musical forbears, and who conducted the first performance of Schubert's Ninth Symphony ten years after his death.

They are joined by Nicola Benedetti, who is soloist in one of the favourites of the violin repertoire, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto.

MON 21:15 Night Waves (b00lk7sh)
Antichrist/Harvey Klehr/Desperate Romantics/Shaw and Priestley/Margot Fonteyn

Matthew Sweet and critic Emilie Bickerton review Lars von Trier's latest film, Antichrist, starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg. It has stirred up controversy because of its explicit depiction of sex and sexual violence.

Harvey Klehr, the co-author of Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America, believes his new book - which has sparked controversy in the USA - provides the most complete account yet of Soviet espionage in the states during the 1930s and 40s. It offers the last word on many leading figures of the time who were under suspicion including J Robert Oppenheimer and Ernest Hemingway. Author Don Guttenplan joins the discussion to question some of the findings.

Screenwriter Peter Bowker discusses his latest television drama, Desperate Romantics, which chronicles the adventures of three men who created one of Britain's most important art movements: the self-styled 'Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood'.

They were the social commentators of their time, who strongly believed that writing could bring about real change, but George Bernard Shaw and JB Priestley seem to have fallen out of fashion in recent times. Matthew asks Roy Hattersley and Michael Billington whether such casual neglect is warranted and who, if pushed, they would choose to champion as the more vital writer.

And in the first of a series of conversations about great artists with particular blind spots in their abilities, dance critic Deborah Craine explains how Margot Fonteyn's difficulties with the showiest step in ballet - 32 fourette turns - would have kept her out of the ballet corps today.

Jez Nelson presents music celebrating the rich Paris jazz scene. Featuring esteemed bass player Henri Texier's Quartet, plus sets from young pianist Eve Risser and experimental trio Jean Louis recorded on the final night of a week-long series of Parisian-inspired concerts at Kings Place in London.

Henri Texier's Red Route Quartet play elements of classic love songs, which are improvised over freely, allowing Texier's North African connections to seep through. The band consists of his son Sebastien on sax and clarinet, drummer Christophe Marguet and guitarist Manu Codjia.

Representing the next generation of Parisian jazz, Eve Risser performs a solo set on prepared piano, followed by electronic wizardry and brilliantly energetic original compositions from the trio Jean Louis.

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00lk8t7)
Jonathan Harvey (1939-)

Episode 2

Donald Macleod in the company of British composer Jonathan Harvey.

Harvey's instrumental and chamber works, beginning with two minutes of musical madness for prepared piano and tape, based on the finale of Chopin's Piano Sonata in B flat minor. This is followed by a musical depiction of the god Shiva in his guise as Nataraja, Lord of the Dance.

Then a memorial to Harvey's friend Peter Gibbs, ex-RAF pilot and leader of the BBC Scottish Orchestra, who died in a mysterious plane crash; The Riot, an exhilarating trio for flute, clarinet and piano (the name is an anagram of the Dutch group for whom it was written - Het Trio); and a recent work, Harvey's String Trio, whose energising spark, the composer tells us, is the collision of two different musical moods - the sacred and the folkoristic.

Nordic Chamber Orchestra/Christian Lindberg

Sweden's flamboyant virtuoso trombonist, conductor and composer Christian Lindberg brings the Nordic Chamber Orchestra to the Guildhall in London as part of the 2009 City of London Festival.

Lindberg is a champion of new music and the Swedish ensemble focuses on music from Scandinavia from the 18th century to the present day. This concert features music by Johan Helmich Roman, the 'father of Swedish music' and an important figure in 18th-century Sweden, as well as music for strings by Grieg, Sibelius and Nielsen. To round off, they perform the London premiere of Lindberg's own Kundraan for trombone and strings - a piece of musical theatre where the antihero Kundraan meets Lucifer.

TUE 21:15 Night Waves (b00lk8tk)
A New Age of Austerity?

Amidst recession, economic change and general belt tightening, Philip Dodd presents a special edition of Night Waves on a coming idea in British culture - Austerity.

David Cameron recently declared the Conservatives to be the party of austerity and Philip interviews Ed Vaizey on what this means to him as shadow minister for culture. A panel of guests also discuss what a more austere Britain might look like. Cultural historian Christopher Frayling talks about the aesthetics of austerity in film and popular culture, how scarcity can make the arts a locus of escapist fantasy rather than gritty realism, and author and banker Oliver Kamm explains just how much of a structural change our economic lives are about to undergo

Historian Dominic Sandbrook examines the British puritanical tradition of simple virtue and how previous eras of post-war austerity have been incorporated into our national story. Should the coming years be seen as a necessary corrective after a period of greed and excess or simply the next stage in Britain's long post war decline? And Classicist Catherine Edwards looks at the even deeper roots of Austerity in Stoic philosophy and Roman ideas of virtue that still reverberate today.

The panel is also be joined by Scottish poet Robert Crawford to discuss thrift and the environment, the impact of the financial crisis in Scotland and to broach the moral dimension of austerity - whether there is true virtue in thrift, whether austerity is simply a moral gloss on poverty and whether to be truly noble, austerity must be a choice and not a necessity.

WED 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00lk91d)
Jonathan Harvey (1939-)

Episode 3

Donald Macleod is in the company of British composer Jonathan Harvey.

The orchestra learns to speak in one of Harvey's most ambitious and complex works to date - Speakings, which was premiered at the BBC Proms 2008. As the composer himself explains it: 'The orchestral discourse, itself inflected by speech structures, is electro-acoustically shaped by the envelopes of speech taken from largely random recordings. The vowel and consonant spectra-shapes flicker in the rapid rhythms and colours of speech across the orchestral textures. A process of 'shape vocoding', taking advantage of speech's fascinating complexities, is the main idea of this work.'

Till Fellner

Austrian pianist Till Fellner continues his journey through the complete piano sonatas of Beethoven. In this recital, he contrasts the three Op 10 sonatas, in which the young composer beings to move further away from his earlier models, and then performs the massive sonata Op 101 (Hammerklavier), one of the most challenging solo works in the entire piano repertoire.

Beethoven: Piano Sonatas, Op 10: No 1 in C minor; No 2 in F; No 3 in D; Piano Sonata in B flat, Op 106 (Hammerklavier)

Followed by performances from past seasons of the BBC Proms, with highlights from Brass Day in 2007:

Hans Werner Henze: Ragtimes and habaneras for brass band
Grimethorpe Colliery Band
Allan Withington (conductor)

Wilfred Heaton: Toccata for brass band "Oh the blessed Lord"

WED 21:15 Night Waves (b00lk93x)
Amartya Sen/Mark Ravenhill/Richard English/Schumann

Anne McElvoy interviews one of the world's great thinkers - Nobel prize-winning economist Amartya Sen. Born in Bengal before Indian independence, he witnessed the 1943 famine at first hand. In his new book The Idea of Justice, Sen constructs a new theory of justice, not from abstract ideals or notions of what perfect institutions and rules might be, but from what the results of a system are practically. He highlights the importance of public reasoning and argues that there is no such thing as perfect justice, only manifest injustices which we should try to overcome in our communities.

Playwright Mark Ravenhill discusses why some of his colleagues in the theatre world are more popular overseas than in Britain. Although he is feted as a writer here, he has said he doesn't make a living from UK productions of his plays and he needs the royalties from Europe to pay his rent; other writers like Edward Bond and Sarah Kane have the same experience.

Richard English is professor of politics at Queens University Belfast and author of Terrorism - How to Respond. Drawing on a wide range of case studies, he argues that we have as yet failed to understand terrorism properly. He believes that the answer to 21st-century terrorism lies in its history and by drawing lessons from the IRA, ETA and the German Red Army, as well as more recent Islamist groups. He explains to Anne why such violence emerges, how it is sustained, and how and why it ends.

And as part of a series on artists' flaws, John Deathridge talks about Schumann, who had struggled with playing the piano because his hands were too weak.

THU 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00lk983)
Jonathan Harvey (1939-)

Episode 4

Donald Macleod is in the company of British composer Jonathan Harvey.

The theme of nature runs through the programme - trees form the backdrop to Moving Trees, a ravishing short piece for chamber ensemble written in response to a commission from Belgian choreographer Anna Teresa de Keersmaeker.

Birds crop up - first, in Chu (Tibetan for 'bird'), then in Bird Concerto with Pianosong, which began life as Piano Concerto with Birdsong until Harvey realised that the birds were the main protagonists. The birds in this case are synthesized ones from California, and they transform, morph and interact with the orchestra in extraordinary ways.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00lkhbt)
Jonathan Harvey (1939-)

Episode 5

Donald Macleod is in the company of British composer Jonathan Harvey.

The final programme begins with a short piece for solo guitar, Sufi Dance - which the composer describes as 'a memory of a Sufi song heard some time ago and probably incorrectly retained or at least filtered through my own paths of thought' - and ends with a major work for chorus and orchestra, Messages, whose text consists entirely of the names of Judaic and Persian angels. The composer calls it his most intuitive work to date. The recording chosen is its world premiere in 2008 by the Berlin Philharmonic and Berlin Radio Choir under Reinbert de Leeuw.

Prom 01: First Night of the Proms

Part 1

Petroc Trelawny presents the first night of the 2009 BBC Proms season from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra under chief conductor Jiri Belohlavek opens the new series of Henry Wood Promenade Concerts with a programme that gives a taste of some of the treasures in store over the eight weeks of the 2009 season.

Stephen Hough begins his complete cycle of the Tchaikovsky Piano Concertos and there's a nod to Stravinsky with performances of his complete ballet scores. Two starry former members of BBC Radio 3's New Generation Artists Scheme help launch its tenth birthday celebrations.

Stravinsky: Fireworks
Chabrier: Ode a la musique
Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No 3 in E flat.


FRI 20:10 Twenty Minutes (b00llqhh)
Moving Pianos

A behind-the-scenes peek at the process of moving pianos onto the stage of the Royal Albert Hall during the BBC Proms - and what can go wrong.

A Victorian building, live broadcasts, large audiences, hot television lights, world-class performers and instruments each worth in the region of 100,000 pounds all add to the pressure on the team moving multiple pianos at the Proms. Various people involved in the extensive preparations that hopefully ensure a glitch-free night share the secrets of their trade.

Nothing fazes Julian Rout, the specialist piano removal company that moves 15,000 pianos each year. But Proms co-ordinator at the Royal Albert Hall Jacqui Kelly is having sleepless nights despite the minute-by-minute plans she has been making.

Ulrich Gerhartz deals with the challenge of matching and preparing four pianos and ensuring that they stay in top condition throughout the Proms season - but even when he turns up at the Royal Albert Hall for a quiet session at dawn, he finds a cohort of vacuum cleaners already hard at work.

Prom 01: First Night of the Proms

Part 2

Petroc Trelawny presents the second part of the First Night of the 2009 BBC Proms, as sisters Katia and Marielle Labeque kick off the season's focus on works for multiple pianos with Poulenc's Concerto.

1934 in History

Historian Juliet Gardiner analyses the political, social and cultural events of 1934 using clips from the BBC sound archive of the period.

She uses the archive to take us through the story of Ramsay MacDonald's national coalition, the Gresford Disaster (one of the worst tragedies in Welsh mining history) and, in passing, the expeditions to Antarctica, the beginning of road-safety advice with the Belisha beacon and the impact of literature and architecture in that year. This history contextualises the world in which Delius, Elgar and Holst end their days and into which Maxwell Davies and Birtwistle are born.
