SAT 12:15 Music Feature (b00mvd9n)
Who Was Carlos Kleiber?

Ivan Hewett explores the musical enigma of the late conductor Carlos Kleiber. Despite huge demand and adulatory critical praise for his work, he gave very few performances and never granted an interview, increasing speculation about his art and personality. Ivan talks to some of the few who knew Kleiber well and attempts to explain his mercurial and electrifying genius.

While most great conductors have strongly-defined profiles, views and attitudes, Kleiber, the son of an equally feted conductor was and remains an enigma, with rumours about him circulating far more freely than facts. Primarily a recluse, he could only be persuaded into the public arena, at least since the late 1980s, by the combination of a momentous event, long rehearsal times and a huge fee. These performances, though, were nothing less than life-changing: concerts with the impact of religious events. Kleiber was also one of the few maestros who, although very demanding at rehearsal, was adored by the musicians who played for him - and by other conductors.

But why did he give so few performances? Why his obvious insecurities? Did he really only make records 'when the freezer ran out of food'? And what about Kleiber the man - his life, his friends, his loves, his obsessions?

SAT 16:00 Jazz Library (b00mw631)
George Russell

The jazz composer and theorist George Russell was a major innovator in jazz for over 50 years. In an archive interview with Alyn Shipton, Russell looks back at the highlights of a recorded repertoire that began with Dizzy Gillespie's big band and went on to encompass modal jazz and the dawn of jazz rock fusion.

George Russell was a ceaseless experimenter - spending most of his life writing his theoretical masterwork on Lydian Modal theory - but on the way writing extended compositions for Dizzy Gillespie in the 1940s, introducing Miles Davis and John Coltrane to modal jazz in the '50s, and mixing world jazz and rock with Jan Garbarek and Terje Rypdal in the 60s. His Living Time Orchestra ran from the '70s to the present decade and included innovative soloists from both sides of the Atlantic. In conversation with Alyn Shipton, who visited Russell at his home near the New England Conservatory in Boston, the composer looks back at what he considers the highlights of his work, and at his standard compositions such as All About Rosie and Ezz-Thetic.

SAT 18:00 Opera on 3 (b00mw635)
Gershwin's Let 'Em Eat Cake

Presented by Donald Macleod.

In a performance from the Grand Theatre in Leeds, Wyn Davies conducts the British premiere of George and Ira Gershwin's 1933 Broadway hit musical Let 'em Eat Cake - the sequel to his more popular Of Thee I Sing.

Like its follow-up, Let 'em Eat Cake was based on a book by George S Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind, and had the same producer, writers and stars in its original Broadway incarnation. Its tone is much darker, though, and the issues are more complex - including ironic references to Fascism. However, Gershwin himself believed the piece contained some of his best music, and thought it to be his greatest achievment to date - although it never received the plaudits he thought it deserved.

It centres on US President John P Wintergreen, who after serving four years seeks re-election, only to find voters do not fall for his slogans and his 1930s spin. He loses the election by a landslide, but under the new regime, the political and economic situation spirals completely out of control. Soon, Wintergreen leads a blue-shirted revolution to victory, and the US is under the control of a new, albeit tried and tested, dictator.

This production by Opera North is directed by Caroline Gawn, with choreography by Caroline Pope.

Wintergreen ...... William Dazeley (bass)
Mary (his wife) ...... Rebecca Moon (soprano)
Throttlebottom ...... Steven Beard (tenor)
Louis Lipman ...... Nicholas Sharratt (tenor)

SUNDAY 27 SEPTEMBER 2009

SUN 00:00 The Early Music Show (b00fh20c)
Lucie Skeaping presents a programme featuring the music of the Italian composer, Alessandro Stradella. Born in the 17th century into a noble family in Tuscany, Stradella was a much-respected composer in his day and capitalised on his family connections with noble patrons. Although he seemed to have led a charmed life, it was also peppered with various scandals, and ended tragically early at the age of 42, stabbed by an assassin for reasons which are still not clear. Lucie Skeaping plays a selection of Stradella's music, including part of his oratorio San Giovanni Battista.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b00mw72p)
Hanan al-Shaykh

Michael Berkeley's guest is Lebanese writer Hanan al-Shaykh, who grew up in a strict Shi'a Muslim environment, finishing her education at the American Girls' College in Cairo. She then became a journalist in Beirut, leaving in 1975 at the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War. She now lives in London with her family.

She is the author of several novels that explore and challenge the traditional roles of women in Muslim societies. Many of her books, such as The Story of Zahra, and Women of Sand and Myrrh deal frankly with sexual issues, which have led to them being banned in more conservative Muslim countries. Her latest work is The Locust and the Bird, which is the story of her own mother's life - heavily circumscribed by a patriarchal society.

Hanan al-Shaykh's musical choices range from Western classical music - a movement of Bach's Keyboard Concerto No 1 in D minor, BWV1052, played by Murray Perahia and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, Schubert's enigmatic song Der Zwerg (The Dwarf) and Albinoni's haunting Adagio in G minor - to American jazz (Jimmy Lunceford's Rhythm is our Business, and Billie Holiday singing Strange Fruit). She also chooses part of Philip Glass's soundtrack to the film Temple of the Golden Pavilion and two different examples of music from the Middle East, including music for the Christian Good Friday ceremonies.

Ideas - The British Version (Series 2)

Heartland Theory

Another chance to hear historian Tristram Hunt's series Ideas - The British Version, which follows the surprising journeys of ideas that first developed in Britain, and then spread around the world.

In the first programme, Tristram traces the story of British geographer Sir Halford Mackinder and his 'Heartland Theory'. Mackinder argued that the geography of Eurasia meant that Russia and its border countries constituted a vast fortress, land-locked and impregnable - and that if this 'Heartland' ever fell under the control of a single Great Power, it would give it the potential to dominate the world.

HIs idea, first aired in 1904, was largely ignored in Britain, but in the years after World War I, it was taken up - and twisted into a disturbing new shape - by a German geopolitician called Karl Haushofer. Haushofer tutored Hess and Hitler while they were in prison in Munich in the 1920s. Haushofer drew on Mackinder to argue that Germany should form a grand alliance with Russia and Japan, in order to dominate the Heartland.

So when news of the Nazi-Soviet Pact surprised the world in 1939, US interest in Mackinder's theory spread like wildfire. In the early 1940s, books, articles and even a Frank Capra propaganda movie - which Tristram watches with Mackinder's biographer - spelt out Haushofer's perversion of Mackinder's idea into a 'Nazi plan for world domination'.

As it became clear that Germany would lose, the elderly Mackinder was reached in his West Country bolthole by New York's Foreign Affairs magazine. FA's Managing Editor shows Tristram the letters between his predecessor and Mackinder, and explains how the resulting article helped to set the stage for post-war geopolitics.

This series was first broadcast in Autumn 2009.


SUN 22:15 Words and Music (b00hwwrv)
An American Landscape

On a cold, gusting morning of January 1961 the poet Robert Frost set out to read a specially composed poem at the inauguration of John F Kennedy, the man on whom all America’s hopes were pinned. But the sun’s glare and the newness of the poem robbed Frost of his ability, his confidence, to read. He fell back on a poem he’d written in 1942. The Gift Outright explores in its few lines one of the deepest and darkest matters facing Americans: the nature of their brief relationship with the land, a land once occupied by others. The poem, read by Jeff Perry is followed by Virgil Thomson’s film score The Plow That Broke the Plains, which was sponsored by the United States Resettlement Administration.

As the orchestrator of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, Ferde Grofé couldn’t have been closer to the heart of American music. In 1916, Grofé drove across the Arizona desert with a group of friends to watch the sun rise over the Grand Canyon. He was later inspired by the experience to compose his famous Grand Canyon Suite.

Some years before, in the late 1860’s John Wesley Powell, a soldier turned naturalist embarked on the first geological survey of the Grand Canyon. His journal, which starts as a dry analysis of rock samples and description of geological formations finally becomes a painting and a hymn of praise to this unique American landscape. I found writer and composer speaking in one language in their breathless excitement in the presence of the Grand Canyon. I think you’ll agree that Grofé’s music and Powell’s journal exactly describe each other.

Etta Baker's Appalachian guitar music is followed by Copland’s take on the same region: part of his ballet score Appalachian Spring. The White Mountains, part of the Appalachian mountains, the most rugged in New England, were visited in the 1830s by the novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne who wrote an awe-inspiring account of his trip. His connection with the area was forever sealed by his death there on a subsequent visit many years later. Copland’s classic orchestration of the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts ends this section and is itself topped off by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s own version of the original hymn.

The composer Philip Glass has composed America with a photographer’s eye, his unique, self-styled voice, mapping America and American life and shipping it across the world as the soundtrack of numerous films. His early score to The Photographer, unswerving in its forward drive is the adjunct to Robert Lowell’s haunting poem, The Mouth of the Hudson, a description of a man standing on an outcrop above a railroad siding and watching the trains switching beneath him. It’s a neutral description until the word ‘unforgivable’ at the end.

The 20th century American composer Roy Harris was born in 1898 to poor parents, in a log cabin in Oklahoma, on Abraham Lincoln's birthday. He had the perfect opportunity to survey the American landscape as he worked for many years as a trucker, criss-crossing the continent. You can hear the lie of the land in his masterpiece Symphony No.3. I mixed the symphony with John Ashbery’s poem Pyrography, an elliptical commentary of America, written to accompany a travelling exhibition of American landscape paintings.

We end with Charles Ives, possibly the composer who captured the spirit of America better than any other. Whilst Harris was a trucker, Ives’s main job was in insurance. That was no bar to him writing his totally original and uncompromising musical reflection of the America he saw and heard. His Three Places in New England here prepares the way for Henry James’s reflection on the New England landscape, which I have mixed with Ives’s contemplative masterpiece The Unanswered Question. Appropriately, that piece ends the programme.

MON 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00mw9g5)
Halle - Britten, Strauss, Shostakovich

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

In a concert given at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, Mark Elder conducts the Halle in music by Britten, Strauss and Shostakovich.

It begins with the variations he wrote on a theme by his teacher Frank Bridge, Britten cast each variation as a memento to a specific quality in the elder composer's personality, aiming to capture his teacher's 'energy...charm...wit...gaiety', as he wrote on the manuscript.

This is followed by Richard Strauss's autumnal Second Horn Concerto and Shostakovich's stormy and lyrical Symphony No 5. Written in 1937, in response to his incurring the wrath of the Soviet musical authorities, it is one of the composer's most popular works, and has an underlying darkness and an ironically triumphant finale - both a Stalinist victory hymn and a parody of one.

MON 23:00 The Essay (b00mw9g9)
Voltaire

Voltaire and the Voices of the Enlightenment

You don't have to be a patriotic Frenchman to consider Voltaire the presiding genius of the European Enlightenment. A brilliant, caustic and prolific polemicist, he left behind some 15 million written words - twenty times the length of the Bible - in almost every literary form, from plays, poems and novels to pamphlets, letters and essays. His subjects included philosophy, science, travel, religion and civil liberties and, by the time he died, aged 84 in 1778, his breathtaking output and canny media manipulation had made him the most famous writer in the world. Even today, his thoughts on religion, tolerance and human rights can seem strikingly contemporary and provocative. And many people may be familiar with his words without realizing it: famous Voltaire sayings include "in the best of all possible worlds", "we must cultivate the garden" and "if God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him", though his much quoted rallying cry for tolerant multiculturalism: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" turns out, in fact, to have been invented on Voltaire's behalf by a female English biographer in 1906.

Professor Nicholas Cronk, director of the Voltaire Foundation in Oxford, introduces the great man, places him within the context of other Enlightenment thinkers, and celebrates his timeless satire on the human condition, the novel Candide, which was published 250 years ago.

MON 23:15 Jazz on 3 (b00mw9gc)
Marshall Allen

Jez Nelson presents a gig by avant-garde saxophonist Marshall Allen performed at Cafe Oto. Known for his deeply spiritual approach to music, influenced by space-age science-fiction and Egyptian cosmology, Allen stopped by the small East London venue while on a European tour with the Sun Ra Arkestra. The band features the Arkestra's 25-year-old piano player Farid Barron alongside British musicians Paul Hession on drums and John Edwards on bass.

Marshall Allen met mystical keyboardist and bandleader Sun Ra in 1956. They lived, rehearsed, toured and recorded together as part of Sun Ra's big band The Arkestra for over 40 years. Allen assumed leadership of the group after the death of Sun Ra in 1993 and John Gilmore in 1995, and continues to write new pieces for it. Allen also frequently works in traditional African music with Olatunji and his Drums of Passion.

Excerpt from Moon Maiden by Duke Ellington (details below)

Few composers have captured the power and mystery of the oceans better than Debussy and Britten - the former in his swirling orchestral masterpiece, the latter in the interludes from his best-loved opera.

TUE 23:00 The Essay (b00mw9p8)
Voltaire

Voltaire and England

Series exploring the work of the French writer and philosopher Voltaire.

Professor Nicholas Cronk, director of the Voltaire Foundation at the University of Oxford, explores how Voltaire's encounter with English culture both influenced the writer personally and had far-reaching consequences for Enlightenment thinking generally.

He explains why Voltaire came to England in the first place and considers why the book of essays he wrote - Letters Concerning the English Nation - has been described as 'the first bomb thrown at the ancient regime' - a praise of the country and a covert criticism pre-revolutionary France.

With his vivid and often highly contemporary observations on religion, business, politics, science, philosophy and literature, Voltaire's book on England is as striking today as it was to both French and English readers when it was first published in 1733.

Reader: Simon Russell Beale.


TUE 23:15 Late Junction (b00mw9pb)

WED 21:15 Night Waves (b00mw9sr)
Philip Dodd meets the Turner prize winning artist Grayson Perry – who has made a monumental tapestry of daily life in Walthamstow

After decades of research into the life of Charles Dickens, Michael Slater has produced this century’s first major account of the Victorian author. Slater joins Philip to discuss how Dickens’ extraordinary personal life is reflected in his novels – his deep concern for the poor, his love of fairy tales, his fascination with disorder and the ultimately doomed relationship with his wife.
As critics accuse Labour of resurrecting the Victorian Workhouse for single mothers and the plight of children in the UK is described as mirroring the times of Dickens, Philip debates just how Dickensian Britain still is today with guests Dinah Birch and Roy Hattersley

And is Europe biased against Israel? International politics expert Robin Shepherd argues that Europe’s often hostile attitude to Israel is creating a pariah state that’s a test case for the West’s ability to stand up for its own values


WED 22:00 Composer of the Week (b00mwfxz)
[Repeat of broadcast at 12:00 today]


WED 23:00 The Essay (b00mw9st)
Voltaire

Voltaire, Sarkozy and the Burqa Debate

In a series on the great thinkers of the European Enlightenment originally broadcast in 2009, the French journalist Agnes Poirier imagines a dialogue between Voltaire and President Sarkozy on the issue of legislating about the wearing of the burqa in public.

Nicolas Sarkozy is alone at night in the gilded rooms of the Elysee Palace. Carla Bruni is out at a gig with Mick Jagger but the President has something rather more serious on his mind......

In July 2009, the French President Nicolas Sarkozy set up a Parliamentary committee to consider a possible ban in France of the burqa, the full Islamic dress. Agnes Poirier imagines the ruminations of the tired President: what would Voltaire, the father of "laicite" - the uniquely French interpretation of secularism - say on the matter? Would he ban the burqa? Sarkozy drifts off to sleep and finds himself in the oak-panelled library at the Chateau de Ferney, home of Voltaire.

In a witty and thought-provoking tour de force of an Essay, French journalist Agnes Poirier brings Voltaire and his views firmly into the contemporary realm in an examination of one of the most vexed debates in France today.

French born Agnès Poirier moved to London in 1995 and started writing as an independent journalist for Le Monde (1996) and then for Le Figaro as UK arts correspondent (1997-2001). Between 2001 and 2006, she was a political correspondent and film critic for Libération.

Today, she is a UK editor for French and Italian weeklies Le Nouvel Obs, La Vie, L'Espresso and a regular contributor to the BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Al Jazeera on French politics and films. She is also a regular commentator for The Guardian, The Independent On Sunday, The New Statesman and The Observer.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

In a concert given at Symphony Hall, Birmingham, Oliver Knussen conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Leila Josefowicz in Colin Matthews's new Violin Concerto, along with orchestral showpieces by Britten and Elgar.

Featuring Britten's 1939 Canadian Carnival, which provides an ideal welcome for the return to Birmingham of the Canadian-born virtuoso Leila Josefowicz. She then gives the world premiere of a new concerto written specially for her by the leading British composer Colin Matthews.

The programme concludes with Elgar's portrait of one of Shakespeare's more lovable rogues, Falstaff. With this larger than life character, who is both philosopher and philanderer, Elgar's affectionate piece also tells us a great deal about the composer's own private world in music of great character and good-humour.

THU 21:15 Night Waves (b00mwb3n)
Jenny Uglow/Robert Service/Swastika/Inherit the Wind

Anne McElvoy talks to celebrated biographer Jenny Uglow about an extraordinary decade in British history - the 1660s - a time of plague, fire and war, when Britain searched for new ideas by which to live. In her book about Charles II and the Restoration, Uglow profiles the gambling loving monarch whose risk-taking forged the fate of our nation.

Historian of Russia Robert Service, author of a new biography of Trotsky, talks to Anne about how Trotsky captivated a movement. Claire Fox, director of the Institute of Ideas and former publisher of Living Marxism magazine, and writer and Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens discuss Trotsky's influence on their own political thinking, and why his ideas and personal charisma generated followers in the way they did.

Anne also talks to director Philippe Mora about Swastika, his film about Adolf Hitler.

And there is a first-night review by Susannah Clapp of a new production of Inherit the Wind, directed by Trevor Nunn and starring Kevin Spacey. The play centres on the 1925 trial of a teacher accused of violating a Tennessee statute by teaching Darwin's theory of evolution to his students.

THU 23:00 The Essay (b00mwb3q)
Voltaire

Voltaire and Religion

The cataclysmic Lisbon earthquake of 1755 in which tens of thousands of people died is Professor Simon Blackburn's starting point for an examination of Voltaire's views on religion and belief. The event occurred on November 1st, All Saints Day, which meant that the churches in one of the godliest cities in Catholic Europe were all packed while the brothels were relatively empty. Where, Voltaire wondered, was divine providence in all this?

Simon Blackburn carefully explores not only Voltaire's coruscating views on the corrupt and powerful established church but also the complex question of his lingering faith. Above all, he examines the practical effect of Voltaire's ideas, celebrating the role of the Enlightenment in replacing the altars and thrones of an older Europe with the largely secular constitutional democracies that followed.

Simon Blackburn is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge.

Part 1

From St David's Hall, Cardiff. Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

Thierry Fischer conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in music by Bach and Brahms, as well as Berg's Violin Concerto, with Viviane Hagner, one of the most eagerly-watched violinists to emerge in recent years.

Featuring the grandiose Bach Toccata and Fugue, followed by Berg's final masterwork - the tragic Violin Concerto, which movingly ends with a meditation on one of Bach's best-known chorales - before Brahms' First Symphony, with its stormy opening and cathartic release.

FRI 21:15 The Verb (b00mwb86)
Dreda Say Mitchell/Simone Felice/Larissa Miller

Dreda Say Mitchell
Dreda Say Mitchell was the head teacher of a primary school in East London when she began attending creative writing classes. During those classes, she began writing about the character Schoolboy, who would become the central character in her award-winning first novel, Running Hot. This week Dreda has written a brand new monologue especially for The Verb, which is performed in studio by Jessica Dickens.

Geezer Girls, by Dreda Say Mitchell, is out now from Hodder

Simone Felice
Simone Felice is a songwriter, singer and novelist from a tiny town in the Catskill Mountains, upstate New York. Currently touring with his band The Duke and the King, he stops into The Verb studio to play songs from their latest album, Nothing Gold Can Stay, and to preview a work in progress - his as-yet-unfinished novel Black Jesus.

Larissa Miller & Richard McKane
One of Russia's foremost lyrical poets, Larissa Miller's clear poetic voice stood out against oppression and censorship during the Communist era - often at great personal cost to herself and her family. Larissa and her translator Richard McKane read from Larissa's collection We Are Guests of Eternity and consider the role poetry plays in helping both writer and reader endure difficult times.

We Are Guests of Eternity, by Larissa Miller, is published by Arc Press
Out of the Cold Blue, by Richard McKane, is published by Hearing Eye

Alex Horne
Taking his inspiration from HW Bergerson's book Palindromes and Anagrams, Verb Language Spy Alex Horne wanted to see if our listeners would take up a daring poetic challenge: writing Vocabularyclept poetry. 'Vocabularyclept' is a term used to describe a poem that's written using all the words of another poem, but in a different order... one poem from the verbal rubble of another. Last week, Alex gave you 140 words of his choosing, and asked for poems to be sent in using only those words, and Verb listeners everywhere responded enthusiastically - not to say wittily! This week Alex reads a selection of your finest Vocabularyclept verse, and he and Ian reveal the poems they've created.

FRI 23:00 The Essay (b00mwb88)
Voltaire

Voltaire's Library and Legacy

When Voltaire died in 1778 at the grand old age of 84, he was the most famous writer in the world. Whatever his doubts about the Christian afterlife, his own immortality was assured. In this fifth and final Essay on Voltaire, Professor Nicholas Cronk explores the legacy of this greatest of Enlightenment figures. He starts with the extraordinary story of the removal of Voltaire's library, book by book - and there were some seven thousand of them - from his chateau in France all the way to St Petersburg, where Catherine the Great planned to build a sort of Voltaire theme park. He explores Voltaire's celebrity status, both before and after his death, and goes on to discuss how his ideas - about politics, about religion, about tolerance - continue to resonate today. He concludes with a poignant illustration of how, in the true spirit of the Enlightenment, writers continue to debate with Voltaire and, in so doing, perpetuate his legacy.

Professor Nicholas Cronk, director of the Voltaire Foundation in Oxford.
