SAT 12:15 Music Feature (b00c6sgt)
Debussy's Summer of 1912

Lowri Blake presents a programme about Debussy's work during the summer of 1912, talking to pianists Roy Howat, Peter Hill and Alasdair Beatson as well as musicologist Robert Orledge, and introducing music from that time.

It was a very hot summer and Debussy had no time to take his wife and seven-year-old daughter Chouchou on their annual trip to the seaside, much to her displeasure. He had to compose a Diaghilev commission as well as his last completed orchestral work - the ballet Jeux. He was trying to finish the second book of the Preludes for piano, was working on numerous other projects and was tussling with the dancer Maud Allen who wanted changes to the ballet Khamma. He also had a visit from Stravinsky and together they played through, as a piano duet, the score of The Rite of Spring. It made a very significant impression on him.

Prom 05: Mahler's 9th Symphony

20/07/2009

From the Royal Albert Hall, Bernard Haitink conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No 9.

Begun in the summer of 1909, Mahler's last completed symphony was written at a time of crisis, following the loss of a daughter, his forced resignation from the Vienna Court Opera, the diagnosis of his own fatal heart disease and the breakdown of his marriage. Yet while the first movement is permeated by premonitions of death and the last fades away into nothingness, the enduring impression is one of resigned, even joyful acceptance of man's fate.

One of the world's great Mahler interpreters, Haitink celebrates both his 80th birthday and the 50th anniversary of his UK debut in 2009.


MON 20:45 The Lebrecht Interview (b00lqycx)
William Christie

In the first of a new series, Norman Lebrecht talks to William Christie - conductor and founder of early music ensemble, Les Arts Florissants. A frank and revealing converstation in which Christie, an American now living in France, talks about the draw of European music making. He reflects on the impact of the Vietnam War on his career, and reveals the bullying tactics of his teacher Ralph Kirkpatrick. He also considers the sometimes difficult working relationships with some of his colleagues, and how nervousness, stress and anxiety had a detrimental affect on his health.


MON 21:30 BBC Proms (b00lqycz)
Prom 06: Haydn, MacMillan

20/07/2009

From the Royal Albert Hall, Douglas Boyd directs a performance of two powerful sacred works.

Haydn's Seven Last Words were commissioned by Cadiz Cathedral for performance on Good Friday 1786. Haydn regarded these orchestral meditations upon Christ's Crucifixion as among his most successful works. He quickly arranged the music for piano and string quartet and later adapted it as a cantata.

Two centuries later, James MacMillan's Seven Last Words was commissioned by BBC Television and shown in nightly instalments during Holy Week 1994. Revived to mark the composer's 50th birthday, this powerfully dramatic cantata is underscored by echoes of plainsong, Bach chorales and traditional Scottish laments.

Prom 09: Moeran, Finzi, Elgar

Part 1

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, Vassily Sinaisky conducts the BBC Philharmonic in some lesser-known works of the English repertoire.

EJ Moeran's Symphony, introduced to the Proms in 1938 by Henry Wood, was written partly in Norfolk and partly in County Kerry and seems to evoke the landscapes, seashores and folk idioms of both locations.

Finzi's neo-Classical Grand Fantasia caps an unaccompanied and clearly Bach-inspired piano solo with a jaunty Toccata.

Leon McCawley (piano)
BBC Philharmonic
Vassily Sinaisky (conductor)

Moeran: Symphony in G minor
Finzi: Grand Fantasia and Toccata.


THU 20:35 Twenty Minutes (b00lr4dr)
Shelley's Invocation

THU 20:55 BBC Proms (b00lr4dt)
Prom 09: Moeran, Finzi, Elgar

Part 2

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, Vassily Sinaisky conducts the BBC Philharmonic in some lesser-known works of the the English repertoire.

The second half of the programme marks the 75th anniversary of Elgar's death with his Symphony No 2, a nobly expansive exploration of past sorrows recalled and exorcised.

BBC Philharmonic
Vassily Sinaisky (conductor)

Elgar: Symphony No 2 in E flat.


THU 22:15 Sunday Feature (b00hxnwb)
The Black Cube

Broadcaster and film-maker Navid Akhtar talks about the Ka'aba - or the Black Cube - at the heart of the Masjid al Haram Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is the holiest shrine of Islam, encircled by millions of pilgrims every year, and is traditionally said to have been built by Abraham on the foundations of the first house of Adam.

Navid considers the ways the Black Cube has intersected with Western culture, from the work of constructivist painters like Malevich, to our desire for simplified geometric buildings. He discovers connections between the rituals of the pilgrimage to Mecca and Western thought, and how the cube is inspiring a new generation of Muslim artists.


THU 23:00 The Essay (b00bcv00)
Robert Graves and the Poetic Myth

Episode 3

Writer and broadcaster Graeme Fife explores the work of the poet and novelist Robert Graves.

Graeme recalls his visits to Graves's home in Mallorca and considers the role in his life of the poet Laura Riding, with whom he had a romantic and professional association as well as four other muses who followed.


THU 23:15 Late Junction (b00lr4p4)

Proms 2009: Prom 8 (Repeat)

BBC Proms 2009

Louise Fryer presents another chance to hear a Proms celebrating the 800th anniversary of the University of Cambridge. The concert features a convocation of college choirs, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and alumni including conductor Andrew Davis and soloists Simon Keenlyside and Thomas Trotter.

As professor of music, Stanford taught Vaughan Williams, who wrote his Wasps overture for a university staging of Aristophanes's comedy. Vaughan Williams later set verses by former university orator George Herbert in his Five Mystical Songs. Judith Weir and Jonathan Harvey, who this year celebrates his seventieth birthday, also studied at Cambridge. Ryan Wigglesworth, a Cambridge lecturer and fellow of Corpus Christi College, has crafted a new work especially for this concert. The performance ends with a glorious symphonic work for full orchestra and organ by Camille Saint-Saens, who was honoured with a doctorate by the university in 1893.

Prom 10: Takemitsu, Debussy, Ravel, Sarasate, Hosokawa

Part 1

Jun Markl conducts the Orchestre de Lyon in a three-part concert tracing musical cross-fertilisations between East and West, and between France and Spain. Takemitsu's Ceremonial showcases the Japanese sho (mouth organ).

FRI 20:10 Twenty Minutes (b00lrd1x)
The Roma Today

Novelist Louise Doughty has long known that her father's family were English Romanies. She looks at the poor image and status of Romanies across Europe today, revealing a depressing story of age-old prejudice which is currently being exacerbated by anxieties about immigration and the economic downturn.

On a more positive note, she celebrates the way that Romany cultural influences, as interpreted by composers such as Ravel and Sarasate, can help to improve life for the Roma and Sinti people who are one of Europe's fastest-growing ethnic minorities.


FRI 20:30 BBC Proms (b00lrczs)
Prom 10: Takemitsu, Debussy, Ravel, Sarasate, Hosokawa

Part 2

Jun Markl conducts the Orchestre de Lyon in a three-part concert tracing musical cross-fertilisations between East and West, and between France and Spain. A key influence on Takemitsu's Green was Debussy, who himself used oriental scales and sonorities on Pagodes and La mer.

Jun Markl (conductor)

Takemitsu: Green
Sarasate: Carmen Fantasy
Ravel: Tzigane.


FRI 21:10 Twenty Minutes (b00lrt0r)
Sho and Tell

Robin Thompson, the only British musican to have mastered the sho, explores this remarkable instrument, which is fascinating technically as well as visually. In each of its bamboo pipes is a free reed, similar to those in a harmonica.

The sho sounds as the player inhales as well as exhales, allowing very long runs, and as several notes can be played simultaneously it functions as both a chordal and melodic instrument.


FRI 21:30 BBC Proms (b00lrczv)
Prom 10: Takemitsu, Debussy, Ravel, Sarasate, Hosokawa

Part 3

Jun Markl conducts the Orchestre de Lyon in a three-part concert tracing musical cross-fertilisations between East and West, and between France and Spain. The sho reapears in Hosakawa's recent piece Cloud and Light, which was inspired by an image of the Buddha.
