SAT 12:15 Music Feature (b00hwwjp)
The Daffodil Maiden

Anne Sebba tells the story of celebrated concert pianist Harriet Cohen, considered to be one of the most intriguing musical figures of the 20th century. A musician with a vast repertoire, she had more first performances of works than any other pianist of her day, but is scarcely known today.

Long-fascinated by Cohen's story, Anne has read the 3,000 letters bequeathed to the British library to try to understand how Cohen's tempestuous private life impacted on her public performing life. Some music critics believe she was the inspiration for much of Bax's finest music. Others claim that she was jealous and possessive and responsible for preventing many of his pieces becoming better known.

Lucie Skeaping explores the life and music of the man who wanted to produce "Harmony to please, varietie to delight".

SAT 19:30 BBC Proms (b00m8b67)
Prom 50: Fidelio

Part 1

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Christopher Cook.

Daniel Barenboim conducts his West-Eastern Divan Orchestra in a German version of Beethoven's only opera, Fidelio, featuring an English narration devised by the co-founder of the orchestra - scholar and historian Edward Said.

The work's themes are given a particular poignancy by the participation of Barenboim and Said's ground-breaking group, which was founded in 1999 to bring together young Israeli and Arab musicians, and continues to serve as a beacon of trust, understanding and dialogue between nations in conflict.

Fidelio, first performed in 1805, is an impassioned defence of freedom and justice and a celebration of the power of love as its heroine, Leonore, rescues her falsely incarcerated husband from imprisonment and execution.

SUN 17:00 Discovering Music (b00m8gky)
Verdi's Otello

Stephen Johnson is joined by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, conducted by Lawrence Renes, to unpick and explain some of the many ingredients that make Verdi's opera Otello arguably as equal an achievement in the art of theatre as the Shakespeare play on which it is based. How does the composer suggest the complex psychology of his characters through his music? How does he use the orchestra to evoke the poetic equivalent of Shakespeares verse?

Otello is one of two great masterpieces of the operatic repertory that Verdi composed in the eighth decade of his life. Written in 1887, it was followed six years later by his final opera, Falstaff. The two works were the fruits of his association with librettist and composer Arrigo Boito, both taking as their inspiration plays by Shakespeare.

With relevant excerpts performed by a cast of leading singers, including Amanda Roocroft as Desdemona, Anthony Michaels-Moore as Iago and David Rendall as Otello. The programme also features appearances from Edward Price as Montano, Edward Goater as Cassio and Christopher Bowen as Rodrigo.


SUN 18:30 BBC Proms (b00m8gl0)
Prom 51: Haydn, Szymanowski, Brahms

Part 1

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Penny Gore.

Osmo Vanska returns to the Proms to conduct the first Haydn symphony in a celebration of the 'father' of the form. With its tick-tocking slow movement, the Clock was one of the 12 'London' Symphonies that Haydn wrote for his two extended visits to the capital in the early 1790s.

It is followed by Szymanowski's devotional and serene Stabat mater, which was partly inspired by the tragic death of his teenage niece. The BBC Symphony Chorus and three international soloists join the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

By Yolanda Pupo-Thompson.

A play depicting a summer's day at The Wakes, the house of 18th-century amateur naturalist the Rev Gilbert White, when White, awaiting the final proofs of his book, is tormented by a form of tinnitus which he calls 'obsessive ruminations'. He is also distraught at the disappearance of his pet tortoise Timothy and, during the course of the search for his old friend, he is forced to emerge from his secluded hybernaculum and confront the fact that his days as a naturalist and active clergyman are nearly at an end.

Nicolay Yakovlevich Myaskovksy (1881-1950)

Episode 1

Donald Macleod explores the life and work of Nicolay Myaskovsky, focusing on the composer's childhood. His father's army career impacted upon the young and reserved child, as did the extreme religious mania of his aunt, who lived with the family once Myaskovsky's mother died.

Featuring the Cello Concerto, Romantic in origin, which displays Myaskovsky's passion for Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov, yet is one of the works denounced under the Stalin regime as 'formalist'. There is also the final movement of his Symphony No 1, which started the composer off on his long career of symphonic writing.

Proms Chamber Concerts

PCM 06 - Joshua Bell, Steven Isserlis and Denes Varjon

From Cadogan Hall, London. Presented by Louise Fryer.

Long-term chamber partners Joshua Bell and Steven Isserlis join forces with a brilliant young Hungarian pianist for music of poetry and drama. They perform Fantasiestucke, Schumann's four character pieces, which were the composer's first works for piano trio, composed in 1842 when he was particularly interested in the form.

These are followed by Mendelssohn's Piano Trio, Op 49, which Schumann himself dubbed 'the master trio of our age'. It bears the hallmarks of an expressive 'song without words' and a fleeting 'scherzo', alongside the Romantic sweep and grandeur of its outer movements.

Presented by Jonathan Swain.

BBC Proms 2009:

A Prom featuring a work composed by Jonny Greenwood, a member of the rock bank Radiohead and the BBC composer-in-residence. Popcorn Superhet Receiver is a gritty work scored for strings, which was inspired by the medium of radio.

It is followed by the central act of Harrison Birtwistle's complex opera The Mask of Orpheus, performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra in celebration of the composer's 75th birthday, which is then contrasted with the classically-poised Stravinsky ballet Apollo.

Stephen Hough

The pianist Stephen Hough is regarded as one of the most exciting British musicians of his generation. His career takes him around the world and he has won many awards for his recordings. His compositions include a Cello Concerto and a Mass for Westminster Cathedral. But music is just one part of his life. Hough is a Roman Catholic who converted while in his teens having been brought up in a Protestant family. Religion plays a major part in his life and he has published one book The Bible As Prayer and numerous articles on theological issues. He also regularly discusses the issues of being a gay Catholic. In this interview with Norman Lebrecht Stephen Hough talks about these issues and about repertoire, his early life and his near death experience in a car accident.

MON 23:15 Jazz on 3 (b00m8p0m)
Bill Frisell at the 2008 Cheltenham Jazz Festival

Jez Nelson presents a gig by arguably one of jazz guitar's greatest living exponents, Bill Frisell. It was hailed as a highlight of the 2008 Cheltenham Jazz Festival, and the show features three previously un-broadcast tracks recorded with his quintet. Famed for his unique sound world that blends blues and country influences with jazz harmonies and electronics, Frisell is joined in this line-up by reedsman Chris Cheek and cornet player Ron Miles, with Larry Grenadier on bass and Rudy Royston on drums.

Frisell's first major break came in 1982 when he filled in for Pat Metheny on Paul Motian's ECM recording Psalm. He moved to New York in the 80s where he worked with many creative musicians including John Zorn and Joe Lovano, honing in his celebrated individual sound. In 2005 he was awarded the 'Best Contemporary Jazz Album' Grammy for his disc Unspeakable, and has released Disfarmer on Nonesuch Records.

Episode 2

Donal Macleod surveys Myaskovsky's life at the St Petersburg Conservatory, under the tutelage of Rimsky-Korsakov, and Glazunov. He introduces part of the composer's String Quartet No 3, which includes a disguised snub at his tutor Lyadov, spelling out the theme 'Beware of Lyadov'.

Whilst at the Conservatoire, Myaskovsky met Prokofiev, who would become a lifelong friend and champion. After graduation, Myaskovsky established himself as a music critic, writing notable articles on composers such as Beethoven and Medtner.

TUE 21:30 Music Feature (b00m8pdk)
The Art of Noises

One hundred years after the founding manifesto of Futurism, Robert Worby examine the least-documented aspect of Italy's most audacious art movement: the Art of Noises.

The most influential futurist musician was Luigi Russolo who argued for a complete reappraisal of classical orchestras to include sounds of the modern world. He designed and built early mechanical synthesisers, or intonarumori, to recreate the sounds of factories, cars and whistles.

Robert travels to Milan, the birthplace of Futurism, to visit reconstructions of the intonarumori - a collection of instruments invented by Russolo - and re-imagine the sounds of the trams and the mighty railway station which inspired them. With all but a few shards of Russolo's music lost or destroyed, why do the Art of Noises continue to resonate for many musicians and artists today?

Nicolay Yakovlevich Myaskovksy (1881-1950)

Episode 3

Donald Macleod traces Myaskovsky's time serving as an army officer in the First World War, during which he composed his fourth and fifth symphonies. Shell shock, and the horrors of war would greatly influence Myaskovsky, who subsequently suffered a breakdown. His music from this point starts to incorporate aspects of political and social change in Soviet Russia, with his Fourth Piano sonata featuring angry clashes and dissonance.

During this period of change, Myaskovsky's father is torn to pieces by a revolutionary mob, and his aunt also later dies. Myaskovsky pours his feelings into his Sixth Symphony, combining French revolutionary themes with images of the migration of the soul from the body.

Prom 38/Ravel, Unsuk Chin, Stravinsky

Presented by Jonathan Swain.

BBC Proms 2009:

A Prom featuring Ravel's La valse, a work begun as a homage to the Viennese waltz but which was twisted by the composer's wartime experiences into a darker vision of a society whirling to disaster.

It is followed by Stravinsky's seminal, riot-inducing ballet The Rite of Spring, and Unsuk Chin's new Cello Concerto, which was written specially for Alban Gerhardt, an early member of Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme.

Wunderkind

In Wunderkind, her classic coming-of-age story, written when she was only 19, Carson McCullers explores the pressures and angsts of life as a child prodigy. Frances, a fifteen-year-old pianist, who for her whole childhood has been considered a shining musical prodigy, arrives for her lesson at her teacher's studio. Her playing has been faltering recently, while Heime, her fellow student and now rival, seems to be on the verge of an illustrious concert career. As the lesson progresses, the emotions spiral, until Frances has to face up to the fact that she might be only ordinary after all.

Carson Mccullers was one of the great writers of the American South. As a child she trained as a classical pianist but gave up her ambitions for a musical career after an emotional break in her relationship with a beloved piano teacher. In this highly autobiographical story, McCullers looks not only at the troubled life of the child prodigy, but also at the pressures and isolation of adolescence.

The reader is Madeleine Potter.
Producer: Justine Willett (Rpt).

The Moscow Conservatoire where Myaskovsky was professor of composition, was renamed the Felix Kon School of Higher Musical Education, with the likes of Myaskovsky himself, Gliere and Gnesin being dismissed. Reading the signs Myaskovsky composed music more in line with Stalin's wishes, such as his village concertos, the 'Collective Farm' symphony, and the 19th Symphony, composed for the popular Red Army Band.

Paradise or Nightmare - DH Lawrence in Cornwall

DH Lawrence biographer John Worthen discusses DH Lawrence's retreat to Cornwall following the controversy over his novel The Rainbow and the horrors of the First World War. Worthen talks to fellow Lawrence scholars Fiona Becket, Mark Kinkead-Weekes, and Christopher Pollnitz about the impact of this period on Lawrence's life and work.

Lawrence may have loved Cornwall, and completed Women in Love - one of his best novels - there, but the violence of the war eventually caught up with him, and he and his wife were expelled on suspicion of spying in October 1917. This experience surfaced in his later Novel Kangaroo - in a the chapter which he called The Nightmare.

The Future's Not What it Used to Be

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

Richard Foster investigates the threat of nuclear and environmental holocaust, explored in novels such as Neville Shute's On the Beach and John Christopher's The Death of Grass. Is the appetite for apocalypse - religious or scientific - now fed by ecological concern and terrorism? Must we always live in fear, or is it a potent political tool?

Nicolay Yakovlevich Myaskovksy (1881-1950)

Episode 5

Donald Macleod discusses Myaskovsky's final years, when he not only suffered with stomach cancer, but also with bitterness and resentment induced by a second wave of persecution during Stalin's cultural attacks. Some of the composer's final works - the Second Cello Sonata, the 13th String Quartet and the 27th Symphony - each won him a Stalin Prize. Having asked Shostakovich whether his life's work was pointless, the composer died a few days later in 1950.

Prom 57: Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky

Part 1

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Penny Gore.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra and pincipal guest conductor David Robertson complete the Proms's survey of Stravinsky's ballets with Agon. It is a dazzling set of 12 dances for as many dancers that the septuagenarian composer based on material taken from a 17th-century dance manual and re-energised using his own unique 20th-century viewpoint.

And Stephen Hough completes his Proms one-man piano marathon of Tchaikovsky's concertante works with the curiously neglected Concert Fantasia.

As part of a series celebrating Stravinsky's ballets, Louise Fryer is joined by composer Julian Anderson and Stravinsky biographer Stephen Walsh to discuss the composer's final example, Agon.

Prom 57: Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky

Part 2

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Penny Gore.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra under principal guest conductor David Robertson are joined by cellist Steven Isserlis for a performance of Tchaikovsky's 18th-century Rococo Variations, followed by Francesca da Rimini, his tale of forbidden love and eternal punishment inspired by a story in Dante's Inferno.

Steven Isserlis (cello)
BBC Symphony Orchestra
David Robertson (conductor)

Tchaikovsky: Variations on a Rococo Theme; Francesca da Rimini.


FRI 21:30 Sunday Feature (b00dp1ph)
The First War on Terror

Novelist Hari Kunzru explores how pulp fiction writers and great novelists got to grips with the UK's first major 'war on terror' - against the Anarchists of Victorian and Edwardian times. These 'scare novels' responded to the Anarchists' wish to abolish the State by depicting outlandish scenarios such as political assassinations and large-scale bombings.

He also explores the world of the real anarchists in London's immigrant communities - most of whom were peaceful and cultured East End Jewish activists, trying to improve conditions in the garment trade - in contrast to these terrorists the novelists imagined and the popular press feared.

Bringing the programme up to date, Hari and literary scholars Laurence Davies and Deaglan O'Donghaile also briefly consider the modern response to 9/11, asking whether novels on terrorism ever get it right.


FRI 22:15 BBC Proms (b00m8q1k)
2009

Prom 58 - Andriessen, Martland, de Bondt

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

A high-intensity Prom featuring some of the world's best wind players, including the Netherlands Wind Ensemble, who celebrates the music of iconoclastic Dutch composer Louis Andriessen's with his minimalist masterpiece De Staat (The State). It is preceded by a work from Andriessen's English pupil Steve Martland, written for the last big Purcell anniversary in 1995.

The concert ends with Doors Closed, a belated London premiere of a 1980s classic by a leading Dutch pupil of Andriessen's, Cornelis de Bondt. It is a musical ritual of death superimposing the funeral march from Beethoven's Eroica Symphony on the famous Lament from Purcell's Dido and Aeneas.
