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

SAT 17:00 BBC Proms (b00ls7hw)
2009

Prom 11: David Titterington

David Titterington takes to the Royal Albert Hall's Willis organ to perform Elgar's grand sonata composed in 1895 for Worcester Cathedral's new organist Hugh Blair to play for a group of visiting Americans.

The so-called Second Sonata is in fact a free transcription by Ivor Atkins, Blair's successor, of the Severn Suite, compiled from youthful sketches by the elderly Elgar in 1930.

The transatlantic connection is continued in Peter Dickinson's Blue Rose Variations, in which the British composer, born in the year of Elgar's death, takes a famous tune by Edward MacDowell and gives it a blues and ragtime spin.

David Titterington (organ)

Elgar, arr. Atkins: Organ Sonata No 2

Prom 12: Elgar/Delius/Holst

Part 1

As part of a celebration of the musical legacy of Elgar, Holst and Delius, who all died in 1934, Charles Mackerras contrasts Elgar's salute to the indomitable Cockney spirit of London with Delius's poetical evocation of the mountains.

SAT 20:20 Twenty Minutes (b00lvf1t)
In Memoriam 1934

David Owen Norris looks through the newspapers of 1934 to find out how obituary writers and the public responded to deaths of Elgar, Holst and Delius.

Much was made of the importance of Elgar's contribution to English music. Henry Wood wrote to The Times, saying 'he was such a mighty figure that one cannot think of him dead. It is the greatest loss to music that could have possibly happened, and a loss from which this country will take many years to recover, for there is no one else to touch him'. A telegram was also sent by the King and Queen to Elgar's daughter proclaiming their 'true sympathy in your bereavement'.

The deaths of Holst and Delius later in the year attracted far fewer newspaper inches but Delius's death did make the front page of the Daily Express, unlike Elgar's. Opinion at the time was divided over Holst and Delius's contribution to British music and in Delius's case, much was made of his blindness and loneliness. The tabloids at the time reported that 'tragic' Delius was buried without a funeral but when David explores contemporary accounts, he reveals that even back in 1934, one shouldn't always believe what one reads in the newspapers.


SAT 20:40 BBC Proms (b00ls7j0)
Prom 12: Elgar/Delius/Holst

Part 2

In the second part of a concert celebrating the musical legacy of the three great British composers who died in 1934, Charles Mackerras ventures across the solar system in a performance of Gustav Holst's ever-popular suite.

SUN 11:40 Twenty Minutes (b00lxgww)
The Musicians of Ingo

A reading of author Helen Dunmore's atmospheric Cornish tale that will grip both adults and children, written specially to accompany 2009's Family Prom.

Inspired by the world Dunmore created in her celebrated Ingo series, the story is set on a remote Cornish island, where tales of King Arthur, ghostly lost souls and musical mer people have become part of the folklore. Music, too, is a big part of the close-knit community, with the Cornish bodhran, harp and penny whistle at the heart of its unearthly sound. One day, one of the villagers, a gifted young violinist, disappears. He is usually to be found on the beach, where he seems to take inspiration from the sea itself. When the villagers find him standing at the water's edge, his haunting violin is not the only instrument piercing the night sky - he seems to be being accompanied by the waves, or perhaps something in them.

Bach's Partita No 4 in D

Stephen Johnson and pianist Leon McCawley examine JS Bach's Partita No 4. The Sarabande and Gigue are A /AS Level Set Works for Edexcel in 2011. JS Bach composed six keyboard Partitas, or suites of dances, that have become a landmark of the pianist's repertory, even though the music was probably originally conceived for the harpsichord. The Fourth Partita, in D major, is arguably the most cohesive in the collection, and it also demonstrates Bach's unfailing imagination and skill with its rich variety of styles and moods. Stephen Johnson, alongside the pianist Leon McCawley examine the background and the workings of this keyboard masterpiece, in a programme that was recorded before an audience at the 2009 Manchester Piano Festival.

As well as the Partita, they also consider Bach on the piano, and examine a transcription by one of Bach's greatest 20th Century advocates, Ferruccio Busoni: his piano adaptation of Bach's Chaconne for solo violin.

Proms Literary Festival

Rector of the Royal College of Art and former head of the Arts Council Christopher Frayling joins novelist DJ Taylor to discuss the wider importance of key cultural events in the year 1934, which saw the death of Holst and Delius, and the birth of Harrison Birtwistle and Peter Maxwell Davies. Among the topics they discuss are HG Wells's futuristic novel The Shape of Things to Come and the arrival of the Bauhaus designer emigres in Britain.


SUN 20:05 BBC Proms (b00lslr8)
Prom 14: Holst, Delius, Elgar

Part 2

From the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Christopher Cook presents the conclusion of a concert featuring the music of Elgar, Holst and Delius, who all died in 1934. Delius's Brigg Fair took an old Lincolnshire folk song and distilled it into an idyll of nostalgia for England's rural past, while Elgar took the very essence of friendship and poured it into a dazzlingly inventive set of variations, whose 1899 premiere transformed him overnight into England's foremost composer.

Prom 9/Craig Ogden

Presented by Penny Gore.

BBC Proms 2009

Vassily Sinaisky conducts the BBC Philharmonic in some lesser-known works of the 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. This is followed by a performance of Elgar's Second Symphony, which was partly written on the Cornish coast at Tintagel.

MON 19:30 BBC Proms (b00lsqtq)
Prom 15: Smetana, Bartok, Martinu, Stravinsky

Part 1

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Fiona Talkington.

A performance of Smetana's rustic Bohemian comedy The Bartered Bride, which is set at a Slavic fair and known for its high-spirited overture, followed by Bartok's Dance Suite, which incorporates folk themes from Hungary, Romania and as far afield as Africa.

There is also Martinu's Concerto for two pianos, composed just after his First Symphony in 1943, and which betrays some of the tensions of two years earlier when Martinu, like Bartok, was forced to flee to America. The piece ultimately finds release in an outpouring of the composer's characteristically effervescent vitality.

MON 21:45 The Lebrecht Interview (b00t7mmg)
Hilary Hahn

Norman Lebrecht talks to Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn. Born in Lexington, Virginia, Hahn was a child prodigy who made her major orchestral debut while still in her early teens. Now celebrated for her captivating stage presence and deeply felt interpretations, Hahn's international career embraces everything from concerto appearances (playing classic and new repertoire), to recitals, recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, and collaborations with singer-songwriter Tom Brosseau and folk-based singer-songwriter Josh Ritter. She tells Norman about the - sometimes harsh - realities of life on the road, the challenges of sustaining relationships, busking and the effects of the credit crunch on the classical music industry.


MON 22:30 New Generation Artists (b00lvnkd)

MON 23:15 Jazz on 3 (b00lwrmf)
The Claudia Quintet at the Barbican

Jez Nelson presents a gig by drummer and composer John Hollenbeck's group the Claudia Quintet. Renowned for their eclectic twists through free-jazz, post-bop and spatial minimalism, the quintet features top names from the New York scene: Trevor Dunn (double bass), Matt Moran (vibraphone/percussion), Ted Reichman (accordion) and Chris Speed (clarinet/tenor sax).

Formed in 1997, the Claudia Quintet have released four albums of originals by Grammy-nominated composer John Hollenbeck. Hailed as one of the most exciting bands in contemporary jazz, it draws on a range of modern musical influences, from klezmer to hip hop and rock.

Donald Macleod examines how the First World War and the subsequent traumatic events in Hungary led to a time of compositional silence in the career of Kodaly in the early 1920s, a period that signalled a complete transformation of his musical output.

BBC Proms 2009

Another chance to hear a Prom tracing the musical cross-fertilisation between East and West, and France and Spain with a leading French orchestra conducted by Jun Markl. Takemitsu's Ceremonial showcases the Japanese sho, a bamboo-piped mouth organ, which also features in Hosokawa's recent Cloud and Light, inspired by an image of the Buddha.

Bizet never visited Spain but even Spaniards, such as Sarasate, adored his Carmen. Ravel, by contrast, imbibed a love of Spain from his Basque mother, though the gypsy in his Tzigane is probably Hungarian.

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Donald Macleod

Andris Nelsons, the CBSO's new Music Director, makes his Proms debut. This concert celebrates both the 2009 International Year of Astronomy and John Casken's birthday with the Barnsley-born composer's evocation of Orion the hunter ever journeying towards the unknown across the Northumbrian night sky.

Stephen Hough continues his exploration of the complete Tchaikovsky piano concertos with the unfairly neglected Concerto No 2, whose middle movement unexpectedly flowers into a minor triple concerto for piano, violin and cello.

Presented by Penny Gore.

BBC Proms 2009

A Prom featuring Smetana's rustic Bohemian comedy The Bartered Bride, set at a Slavic fair, and Bartok's Dance Suite, which incorporates folk themes from Hungary, Romania and as far afield as Africa.

These works are followed by Martinu's Concerto for two pianos, composed just after his First Symphony in 1943, and which betrays some of the tensions of two years earlier when he, like Bartok, was forced to flee to America. The piece ultimately finds release in an outpouring of the composer's characteristically effervescent vitality.

Prom 18: Widmann, Mozart and Bruckner

Part 1

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Tom Service.

The Bamberg Symphony Orchestra returns to the Proms after its successful 2006 debut and is led again by its British-born principal conductor Jonathan Nott.

In this compelling Austro-German programme stretching across two and-a-half-centuries, composers acknowledge their debt to older masters. With German composer Jorg Widmann's Con brio, a short orchestral showpiece inspired by Beethoven, followed by the third of Mozart's five violin concertos, featuring award-winning young German soloist Arabella Steinbacher, making her much-awaited Proms debut.

WED 20:05 Twenty Minutes (b00lv4nx)
Land of Music

To mark a Proms 2009 concert by the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra from Bavaria, Scottish-born horn player Fergus McWilliam reports on the respect classical music still commands in Germany, and on the riches of regional music-making in a country which still has around 130 symphony orchestras and numerous chamber ensembles.

After decades playing with the Berlin Philharmonic, where he also sits on the orchestra's board, Fergus is these days less surprised by the abundance of classical bands in Germany. And he says that still it's only the very best that boast the very best conductors and standards. Joining him to discuss the depth of talent and sheer exuberance of the country's classical output are the principal conductor of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra Jonathan Nott and veteran Berlin music critic Klaus Geitel.

BBC Proms 2009

A Prom by the BBC Philharmonic celebrating the music of three great British composers who died in 1934 - Edward Elgar, Frederick Delius and Gustav Holst.

Elgar's overture Cockaigne is a lively and colourful musical portrait of Edwardian London, with snapshots of cockneys, courting couples, church bells and a brass band playing in the park. Delius captures the sense of peace of the high Norwegian mountains, while Holst explores the peace (and war) of worlds much further afield in The Planets, with its mystical ending.

Part 2

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Martin Handley.

In a performance given as part of the 200th anniverary celebrations of Mendelssohn's birth, Mark Elder conducts the Halle in the rarely-heard Symphony No 2, which was wildly popular with the Victorians. Beethoven may have made the idea of a symphony with a choral finale famous, but Mendelssohn trumped him with his Hymn of Praise in 1840 - its choral finale so overwhelms the three preceding orchestral movements that Mendelssohn called the result a Symphony-Cantata.

Adam travels to Homer's Troy, walking the plains and visiting the ruins of its citadel, finding that although Homer is thought to have been blind, it is possible to directly map Homer's great poem of war onto the coastline of the Aegean, the beach of the Greek camp, the Scamander River and the hewn stone walls of Troy.
