SAT 15:00 World Routes (b00q8yb8)
The Unthanks

A review of new CDs of world music, and an exploration of the folk traditions of Northumberland in a session with The Unthanks. Led by sisters Rachel and Becky Unthank, the band's new album 'Here's the tender coming' is inspired by a song about a boat arriving to press the men of the North East into war. Presented by Lucy Duran.

Rachel and Becky Unthank grew up in a family of folk musicians, and began singing themselves from an early age as an acapella duet. They were influenced as much by the sea shanties of the area as the women's songs, and their music is a fresh look at the music of an area of England which is still rich in folk traditions. Their three albums have been well received - their last was nominated for the Mercury Prize - and they are now firm fixtures in festivals throughout the UK. Their appeal is now reaching far beyond folk circles: their new album was recently given 4.5 stars by The Sun.

SAT 18:00 Opera on 3 (b00q947x)
Gershwin's Porgy and Bess

Porgy and Bess isn't a work one would associate with Nikolaus Harnoncourt, who has been in the forefront of the period instrument movement for almost 50 years. But in recent years his repertoire has moved into the 19th and 20th centuries. Last July at his own Styriarte Festival in Graz, Austria fulfilled a long held desire to conduct Gershwin's opera and this recording was made then. Harnoncourt is adamant that Porgy is an opera not a musical and in his performances has adopted many of the cuts Gershwin himself made during the initial run of the opera.
Presented by Suzy Klein.

Porgy: Jonathan Lemalu (bass-baritone)
Bess: Isabelle Kabatu (soprano)
Serena: Angela Renée Simpson (soprano)

SAT 21:30 Between the Ears (b00kh0v1)
Empty Ocean

Residents of Fair Isle, Britain's most remote inhabited island, talk about the loss of fishing and seabird colonies caused through over-fishing by trawlers and global warming. They also speak about the loss of traditions that bind the community together and have been handed down from generation to generation.

With music by composer Damian Montagu and Fair Isle musicians, including his collaboration with singer Lise Sinclair on the song Empty Ocean. It sets Paul Rich's poem The Halibut Fisher's Saturday Night, about the great hauls of the past compared to today, where the ocean is empty of fish and the seabed smooth from over-fishing. There is also Sinclair's poem Silent, portraying the disappearance of seabirds from the skies because of the lack of sandeels for feeding.

Four

with Iain Burnside

Four

It's a common number in music: all those quartets, time signatures, a number of fine fourth symphonies, concertos, and sonatas - all those rousing finales. So today Iain Burnside takes a look at the number four, and how our appreciation of music would be so much diminished if the human race had taken the decision to work in base 3.

Fiona Reynolds

Today Michael Berkeley talks to Dame Fiona Reynolds, Director of the National Trust. She is a keen string
player, and her choices reflect her love of music for string ensemble, from Bach's Third Brandenburg Concerto
and Elgar's majestic Introduction and Allegro to a quartet by Smetana and Mozart's charming Sinfonia concertante for violin and viola. There's also a Shostakovich piano concerto, part of Janacek's opera 'Katya Kabanova', and 'The Salutation' from Finzi's cantata 'Dies natalis'.


SUN 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00kh2c8)
Thomas Campion

Catherine Bott reflects on the life, poetry and music of the Elizabethan/Jacobean London-based physician Thomas Campion. He was as celebrated for his poems as for his many songs, and his most famous piece is considered to be Never Weather-Beaten Saile, which was familiar as a hymn for many years after his death.

Campion's legacy of love songs and a large collection of poetry and pamphlets on music and literature, as well as his many masques, have made him an important figure in the history of Renaissance art, even if he is perhaps less well-known than his contemporary John Dowland.

The programme includes a wide selection of recordings of Campion's music alongside readings from his poetry and his masques.

SUN 17:00 Discovering Music (b00q8zh5)
Rodrigo Guitar Concertos

Charles Hazlewood, the BBC Concert Orchestra and Craig Ogden examine two guitar concertos by Rodrigo - the Concierto de Aranjuez and the Fantasia para un Gentilhombre.
The Concierto de Aranjuez, with its emotionally charged slow movement, is one of classical music's most popular pieces. It was composed during Rodrigo's years in Paris before the outbreak of the Second World War where the composer and his wife were living in near poverty. Its success made the blind composer world famous. Written in braille, it is one of the earliest examples of a concerto for guitar and orchestra and before its first performance, Rodrigo suffered sleepless nights worried that the quiet sounding guitar wouldn't be heard about the forces of the orchestra. However, Rodrigo's subtle orchestration and novel writing for the instrument proved his fears groundless.

The other concerto in the programme is the Fantasia para un Gentilhombre written for the great Spanish guitarist Segovia which draws on some of the rich heritage of music for the guitar from Spain's past, as Craig Ogden explains and demonstrates. The programme was recorded before an audience at LSO St Luke's in London.

SUN 22:00 Sunday Feature (b00q900t)
Seven and a Half Years

Susannah Clapp explores why the unforgettable Russian playwright Chekhov believed that he would be remembered for no more than seven and a half years.

Shortly before he died, the great Russian playwright and short story writer Anton Chekhov, confided in a friend that he believed he would be remembered for seven, perhaps seven and a half years. One hundred and seven and a half years later, in the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of his birth - and now that Chekhov is second only to Shakespeare in popularity as a playwright across the globe - Susannah Clapp explores his obsession with memory and the passage of time, and his fear of being forgotten. She gathers a special Chekhov repetory company, including Anna Maxwell Martin, at the BBC's Maida Vale studios, to discuss and perform new translations by the young poet Sasha Dugdale, of Three Sisters, his most memory-obsessed play; and hears from Chekhov experts in Britain and Moscow, including the translator Michael Frayn, the director Declan Donnellan and Anatoly Smelianski, director of the Moscow Art Theatre school, to tell a story of broken clocks, spinning tops, tuberculosis and immortality.

Actors: Melissa Advani, Bruce Alexander, Joseph Cohen-Cahn, Emerald O'Hanrahan, Tessa Nicholson, Anna Maxwell Martin and Piers Wehner.

Producer: Beaty Rubens.


SUN 22:45 Words and Music (b00q900w)
Sons of Russia

Actors Mackenzie Crook and Jason Isaacs explore male fragility in Russian literature. The tensions between generations and classes are revealed with readings from Gogol, Turgenev and Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, whilst adulterous love infuses his short story The Lady with the Dog. Perhaps above all, why do these men have such an attachment to their Motherland? Why does the average Russian 'Ivan' place his country above everything else, even God? With music by Prokofiev, Shostakovich and Schnittke.

In the past decade, Mackenzie Crook has quickly established himself as a versatile character actor after appearing in the BBC TV comedy The Office and Pirates of the Caribbean films. Mackenzie reads from Dostoyevsky's Crime & Punishment, Gogol's The Government Inspector and Pushkin's Eugene Onegin.

Jason Isaacs, introduced to a new generation of film lovers as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, reads passages from Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, Three Sisters and short story The Lady with the Dog, as well as extracts from Turgenev and Tolstoy.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00q904m)
Alexander Borodin (1833-1887)

Episode 1

His melodies were as brilliant and beguiling as his scientific discoveries. Alexander Borodin (1833-1887) was one of history's great polymaths - who combined a career as one of Russia's great research chemists with an equally dazzling creative life as one of the 19th century's most enchanting composers. Happily married, loved by his friends and also a noted writer, philanthropist and linguist, Borodin's life was high on talent, short on crisis - and full of extraordinary, bewitching music.

No-one could write a tune like Borodin - and didn't his peers know it. Throughout Borodin's life, Rimsky-Korsakov and others nagged on and on at him for his 'misplaced' devotion to science, criticised his running quite literally from piano to laboratory, urged him to write more than he possibly was able. Never mind that his scientist colleagues were advising him to do precisely the opposite...

By the time of Borodin's early death aged 54 (he expired of a heart attack merrily dancing the night away at a ball), he'd completed a mere few dozen works - yet almost without exception they're some of the most charming works of the Romantic era - brimming with melodic genius and passion for his native Russia. Such was the affection in which Borodin was held, his friends rallied round to reconstruct and complete many of his unfinished compositions after his death, ensuring his genius would live on forever.

This week, Donald Macleod celebrates the life and work of the "Talented Dr Borodin", featuring all three symphonies, "In The Steppes Of Steppes Of Central Asia" and a host of chamber works, including his Second String Quartet (featuring the famous "Nocturne"). Tuesday's episode gives a rare airing to all sixteen of Borodin's solo songs - "a revelation", in the presenter's words - whilst on Thursday we'll hear extended excerpts from the Second Act of Borodin's operatic masterpiece, Prince Igor, including the famous "Polovtsian Dances".

---

Donald Macleod explores the brilliant, happy life of Alexander Borodin - who combined equally dazzling careers in music and chemistry, as well as being a noted linguist, writer and philanthropist. In the first episode of the series he explores the early conflicts Borodin faced between his twin careers - often having to quite literally run from laboratory to piano - as well as the origins of the composer's First Symphony.


MON 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00q904p)
Mark Padmore/Andrew West

Mark Padmore pairs one of Henze's most colourful and exotic creations, "Six Songs from the Arabian", full of witches, monsters and shipwrecks, with Schumann's sensitive settings of Hans Christian Andersen.

Märzveilchen Op. 40 No. 1
Muttertraum Op. 40 No. 2
Der Soldat Op. 40 No. 3
Der Spielmann Op. 40 No. 4

The composer presented the writer with a copy of these songs, writing that Andersen may very well find the settings strange. Schumann said that he himself found the texts strange at first, but as he began to understand the poems and their strangeness more deeply, his music became increasingly strange as well.


MON 14:00 Afternoon Concert (b00qcj5h)
Musical Outsiders

Episode 1

2pm: Afternoon on 3: Musical Outsiders

Elgar is often seen as the embodiment of the Edwardian Establishment - Pomp and Circumstance, Crown of India - plus fours and bicycle clips - which is a mark of Elgar's achievement as that is what he always craved. Born the son of a Catholic Music Dealer, Elgar was always haunted by his modest social origins as he longed for a place in the "establishment". In this week's programmes Katie Derham takes the "Outsider" theme a stage further, using performances of Elgar's music by non-British ensembles and asking the question - do you have to be British to get something from this music?

Other "outsiders" over the week are Beethoven - increasingly isolated in his deafness; Kurt Weill - hounded out of Nazi Germany; Shostakovich - the focus of Stalinist criticism in 1930's Soviet Union, and Rued Langgaard, a Danish composer very much in the shadow of his elder contemporary Carl Nielsen, and who did not get the recognition he perhaps deserved at the time.

In today's programme, Katie Derham introduces Elgar's stirring "Cockaigne" overture, and Walton's youthful first symphony conducted by Sir Roger Norrington. Beethoven's isolation comes across in one of his late quartets, and songs by Kurt Weill which were such a corrosive commentary on 1930's Berlin that he was hounded out of Nazi Germany.

MON 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00q906t)
BBC SO/Bringuier

Presented by Catherine Bott

The BBC Symphony Orchestra is joined by the young French conductor Lionel Bringiuer, winner of the Besancon Young Conductors Competition in 2005, and still only in his early twenties. He is the Associate Conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Music Director of the Orquesta Sinfonica de Castilla y Leon in Spain. Their programme opens with Metaboles by the veteran French composer Henri Dutilleux, an enchanting work in which the germ of musical ideas are introduced in one movement and developed in the next.

Angela Hewitt's understanding of early dance informs her captivating performances of Baroque repertoire. Her revelatory interpretations of Couperin's solo keyboard pieces here provide the perfect complement to Ravel's spirited orchestral version of Le Tombeau de Couperin and his jazz-tinged Piano Concerto in G. The concert is rounded off with Stravinsky's scintillating Firebird suite for Les ballets russes.

MON 21:15 Night Waves (b00q906w)
Tom Paulin/Chekhov Anniversary/Free Will/Precious

Philip Dodd talks to the poet and playwright Tom Paulin. Tom's new version of Euripides's Medea, the Greek myth of the betrayed wife whose desperate revenge destroys her own children, has reignited Paulin's interest in translating classical mythology. Tom's new adaptation of the play will be performed by Northern Broadsides, the theatre company that brought us Lenny Henry as Othello.

This year is the 150th anniversary of Chekhov's birth, and as a BBC Radio 3 season celebrates the fact, Philip with Konstantin Eggert and Rosamund Bartlett explore the different ways in which Chekhov's work has been received in Russia, taking in his popularity during the Soviet era, right up to recent performances of his plays in Moscow.

In the 1970s the American psychologist Benjamin Libet devised an experiment which demonstrated that when we make a decision to push a button, for example, that the unconscious brain had already started preparing this action before we 'know' that we've decided to do it. As the Royal Society of the Arts in London hosts a demonstration of Libet's famous experiment in London, we invite Professor Patrick Haggard from the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University Collge, London, and Professor Barry Smith, director of the Institute of Philosophy, to discuss this experiment and what the scientific and philosophical implications of it might be for what we currently call Free Will.

And a review by anthropologist Kit Davis of Precious, the new film which is attracting attention because it stars pop diva Mariah Carey, Lenny Kravitz, and newcomer Gabourey Sidibe as an African-American teenager in 1980s Harlem, whose friendship with a school teacher offers her an escape from her abusive homelife.

Chekhov Essays

Simon Russell Beale

Simon Russell Beale, who is amongst the most distinguished and popular actors on the British stage, reveals what he has learned from Chekhov in terms of theatre-craft.

After Shakespeare, Anton Chekhov is the most perfomed playwright in the world and amongst the most revered writers of short stories. While the pleasure he has given to theatre audiences and readers is immense, these Essays explore his legacy in terms of the craft and technique that he continues to bequeath to theatre practitioners and writers today. In the first of five programmes celebrating the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Chekhov's birth, the hugely popular actor Simon Russell Beale confides how the opportunity to perform in The Seagull with the Royal Shakespeare Company twenty five years ago, transformed his entire career.

"I can't pretend to know precisely what my new employers saw in me, but I suspect that they wanted to use me, at least initially, as a comic actor - or as a young character actor, to use the old terminology. This was not unexpected. I could not imagine myself, even in my most self-deluded moments, as Lysander or Romeo or Sebastian.....And then Terry Hands, the Artistic Director at the time, cast me as Konstantin in The Seagull by Anton Chekhov.....".

TUE 14:00 Afternoon Concert (b00q90fg)
Musical Outsiders

Episode 2

2pm: Afternoon on 3: Musical Outsiders

Elgar is often seen as the embodiment of the Edwardian Establishment - Pomp and Circumstance, Crown of India - plus fours and bicycle clips - which is a mark of Elgar's achievement as that is what he always craved. Born the son of a Catholic Music Dealer, Elgar was always haunted by his modest social origins as he longed for a place in the "establishment". In this week's programmes Katie Derham (joining the Afternoon on 3 team this week for the first time) takes the "Outsider" theme a stage further, using performances of Elgar's music by non-British ensembles and asking the question - do you have to be British to get something from this music?

Other "outsiders" over the week are Beethoven - increasingly isolated in his deafness; Kurt Weill - hounded out of Nazi Germany; Shostakovich - the focus of Stalinist criticism in 1930's Soviet Union, and Rued Langgaard, a Danish composer very much in the shadow of his elder contemporary Carl Nielsen, and who did not get the recognition he perhaps deserved at the time.

In today's programme, Katie Derham introduces Elgar's great statement of faith "The Dream of Gerontius", written to a text by fellow Catholic Cardinal Newman, and was "the best of me" according to Elgar himself. Despite a comfortable upbringing and early success Samuel Barber became more isolated as depression increasingly prevented him from composing. Charles Koechlin was a gifted and popular teacher, but never managed to get the official posts in the musical establishment which he wanted and probably deserved.

Also, the baritone-piano pairing of Christian Immler and Helmut Deutsch perform in the studio ahead of their recital this week, given as part of 'From Vienna to Weimar' - the Aurora Orchestra's week-long residency at Kings Place, London.


TUE 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00q90fl)
BBC SSO/Runnicles

Presented by Catherine Bott

The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra's chief conductor Donald Runnicles conducts works by composers for whom he has great affinity: Bruckner's Eighth Symphony and Wagner's Siegfried Idyll, written for the birthday of his wife, Cosima.

Runnicles spent 10 years working in Germany at the start of his career, immersing himself in this musical language. He said: "I have to breathe this air, this Wagnerian air. It was life-changing and that love affair with Wagner led to what was influenced by him: the Bruckner, the Mahler."

"The work of a giant" is how Hugo Wolf described Bruckner's Eighth Symphony, and the symphony itself is a giant, with its full panoply of horns and Wagner tubas. Perhaps Bruckner's greatest work, it is a huge challenge to any orchestra.

TUE 21:15 Night Waves (b00q90gy)
Year of Science 2010

David King

As part of the BBC Year of Science, Radio 3's Night Waves is running a special series of extended interviews with leading scientists from Britain and the rest of the world. Each month a complete 45 minute edition will be dedicated to a single scientific figure talking to him or her about their research specialism, their wider scientific views, their personal background and their involvement with broader cultural and political questions.

In the first interview Anne McElvoy talks to David King, the UK government's chief scientific officer from 2000 to 2007 - a job which put him at the heart of one of the burning issues of our time: the relationship between scientists, the government and the general public. On his watch David King faced foot and mouth, the GM foods debate, the ratification of the Kyoto protocol and the Stern Report.

South African born and a physical chemist by training, David King arguably did more than any other scientist to put the issue of Climate Change onto the UK's public and political map. Anne gauges his opinions on the failure of the Copenhagen summit and asks about the nature of scientific orthodoxy after the furore over the climate change emails from the University of East Anglia, where he used to work.

And what does he think about the status of scientific knowledge in the political process, an issue brought sharply into focus by the recent resignation of David Nutt, the chairman of the government's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs?

David King is a self confessed optimist, his personal style is that of the quietly spoken diplomat but he is no stranger to controversy. He publicly criticised the Bush administration over its environmental policies and has himself been declared an embarrassment by those with different opinions over climate change.


TUE 22:00 Composer of the Week (b00q90fb)
[Repeat of broadcast at 12:00 today]


TUE 23:00 The Essay (b00q90h0)
Chekhov Essays

Timberlake Wertenbaker

The playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker writes a love letter to Chekhov to thank him for all that he has taught her in terms of theatre-craft.

After Shakespeare, Anton Chekhov is the most perfomed playwright in the world and amongst the most revered writers of short stories. While the pleasure he has given to theatre audiences and readers is immense, these Essays explore his legacy in terms of the craft and technique that he continues to bequeath to theatre practitioners and writers today. From her best known work, Our Country's Good, to her latest play, The Line, Timberlake Wertenbaker is one of our most highly valued contemporary playwrights. Chekhov is her favourite writer, and in this Essay - couched as a love letter - she reflects on what she has learned from him in terms of theatre-craft.

Musical Outsiders

Episode 3

2pm: Afternoon on 3: Musical Outsiders

Katie Derham continues a week Elgar performances from non-British performers and looks at the Outsider in music.

In today's programme, she introduces music by Carl Nielsen who became the most popular composer in Denmark during his own lifetime. Those that followed were measured against him. Rued Langgaard, a fellow Dane, suffered throughout his career as his style was not considered sufficiently Nielsen-like, with few performances and no real champions of his work. Only in recent years is Langgaard's music beginning to achieve the recognition it deserves.

For Elgar, a symphony was essential to a successful composing career, and a few years after the "Dream of Gerontius" (heard in yesterday's programme) he produced his first symphony, which was later described as "the greatest symphony of modern times" by Shostakovich - no mean symphonist himself.

WED 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00q90q3)
Bournemouth SO/Karabits

Presented by Catherine Bott

The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra continues its journey from East to West with its new Principal conductor Kirill Karabits, who brings some of the great works of the German romantic repertoire as well as the music of his fellow-Ukrainian, Valentin Silvestrov, someone he greatly admires.

Silvestrov shuns the thought of composing "new" music, instead describing his work as "...a response to and an echo of what already exists." His Serenade creates a unique and delicate tapestry of dramatic and emotional textures.

Taking the cello concerto to the next level, Schumann creates a flowing dialogue between soloist and orchestra, with fine idiomatic cello-writing and a style full of effortless grace and beauty. The young German cellist Daniel Muller-Schott is the fearless soloist here.

A symphony by Schumann's friend Mendelssohn ends the programme - the "comfortless, inhospitable solitude" of a Scottish walking holiday was the inspiration behind his third symphony, dedicated to Queen Victoria. Its haunting recurring theme supposedly came to him as he explored the ruined chapel at Holyrood Palace.

WED 21:15 Night Waves (b00q90q5)
1492/Mo Mowlam/The Germans/Atul Gawande

On Night Waves on Wednesday Rana Mitter talks to the eminent international historian Felipe Fernandez Armesto. He talks about his new book 1492, in which he argues that that fact that that year is universally known for the voyage of Columbus has obscured the greater significance of those 12 months. According to Armesto, this was the year that our modern world really began.

We also review a new documentary-drama about Mo Mowlam. The former Northern Ireland Secretary is played by Julie Walters, who is backed up by an all star cast as the film moves through her rise through the cabinet, the Good Friday Agreement and her battle with cancer. Richard Coles and Mowlam's biographer Julia Langdon join Rana to review the programme.

What is the problem with Britain's relationship the Germans? Writer Simon Winder has written a love letter to Germany - to its strangeness, its cuisine, its histories both invented and real and to the landscapes which he claims is as beautiful as any in Europe. We ask Simon Winder and the philosopher Robert Rowland Smith why it is that we Britons have a problem appreciating the Germans.

Finally, we talk to the writer and surgeon Atul Gawande about his new book The Checklist Manifesto, which offers in his view a solution to the everyday mistakes that continue to prevent success in all areas, from health care to government.

WED 23:00 The Essay (b00q90ql)
Chekhov Essays

Andrew Hilton

The director Andrew Hilton reveals what he has learned as a director from Chekhov.

After Shakespeare, Anton Chekhov is the most perfomed playwright in the world and amongst the most revered writers of short stories. While the pleasure he has given to theatre audiences and readers is immense, these Essays explore his legacy in terms of the craft and technique that he continues to bequeath to theatre practitioners and writers today. In the third of five programmes celebrating the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Chekhov's birth, the director Andrew Hilton reveals the lesson that he learned while recently directing a highly acclaimed production of Uncle Vanya at Bristol Old Vic - that Chekhov's plays contain all the instructions any company needs, if only they will listen.

For more than a century, the "Polovtsian Dances" from Borodin's great national opera "Prince Igor" have been better known than the opera itself, the composer's greatest work for the stage. Today, Donald Macleod sets about putting that right, as he introduces extended excerpts from Act 2 of the opera, from which the famous orchestral showpiece hails.

THU 14:00 Afternoon Concert (b00q90wd)
Musical Outsiders

Episode 4

2pm Afternoon on 3: Musical Outsiders.

Katie Derham presents a week of Elgar performances from non-British performers and looks at the Outsider in music

Hector Berlioz was fascinated all his life by Shakespeare and wrote the music and the libretto for "Beatrice and Benedict", a 2 Act Comic Opera that roughly follows Shakespeare's "Much Ado about Nothing" and in which the 2 protagonists use their wits to spar with each other. Joyce di Donato is Beatrice and Charles Workman is Benedict in this performance from Paris, conducted by Berlioz specialist Sir Colin Davis.

The Elgar today is his overture Alassio "in the South", in a performance from Poland.

Much like Elgar, Sibelius craved official recognition in his musical career, and like Elgar achieved it in the end, forging an enduring Finnish character in music.

Charles Workman, tenor, Bénédict;

Also, musicians featured in 2010's Oxford Lieder Spring Series, including tenor Nicky Spence and pianist and festival founder Sholto Kynoch, perform in the studio.


THU 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00q90wj)
Till Fellner

Presented by Catherine Bott

The celebrated Austrian pianist Till Fellner continues his survey of the complete sonatas of Beethoven, including some of his most original piano works as well as two of his best-loved sonatas. The famous 'Moonlight' sonata, originally known as 'Quasi una fantasia' like it's companion work, was given it's nickname by the poet Rellstab, who compared the music to the reflection of moonlight on Lake Lucerne.

The 'Waldstein' sonata, named after its dedicatee, is both sublime and technically challenging, a real tour de force from a man at the height of his creative powers.

Till Fellner (piano)

Beethoven: Sonata no.12 in A flat, Op.26
Sonata no.13 in E flat, Op.27 no.1 'Quasi una fantasia'
Sonata no.14 in C sharp minor, Op.27 no.2 'Moonlight'
Sonata no.22 in F, Op.54
Sonata no.21 in C, Op.53 'Waldstein'

THU 21:15 Night Waves (b00q90wl)
The Woman in White

Matthew Sweet brings together a round-table of guests to explore one of the best-selling novels of the nineteenth century: The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, one hundred and fifty years after it was first published in 1860. Joining Matthew are the actor and writer Simon Callow, the author Kate Summerscale, broadcaster Paul Lewis and the writer Lisa Appignanesi join Matthew to delve into the archetypal "sensation novel" of the Victorian era. The Woman in White pioneered the use of mystery, detective sleuthing and the multiple viewpoints that have become the stock-in-trade of thrillers and crime fiction ever since. No wonder that Prime Minister Gladstone stayed up all night reading the book, and even Oscar Wilde named his cat after its chief villain, Count Fosco, a part played by guest Simon Callow in teh Lloyd-Webber musical adaptation of the novel.

The Woman in White launched Wilkie Collins to a ten year period when he dominated English fiction. Matthew tries to get to the heart of the originality of this ground-breaking book. How did a figure such as Collins - a close friend of Charles Dickens - manage to create so many original devices? Did Collins' legal back-ground help him develop his literary techniques?

And today, a century and a half later, when detective thrillers are one of the world's most influential genres of fiction, how does Collins's work stand-up? Does the archaeology of the Woman in White, give us some clues about how such gripping writing would develop over the subsequent century?

THU 23:00 The Essay (b00q90wn)
Chekhov Essays

Ruth Thomas

The short story writer Ruth Thomas confesses how her early ignorance and dislike of Chekhov turned later to love as she came to emulate his loving depictions of domestic life.

After Shakespeare, Anton Chekhov is the most perfomed playwright in the world and amongst the most revered writers of short stories. While the pleasure he has given to theatre audiences and readers is immense, these Essays explore his legacy in terms of the craft and technique that he continues to bequeath to theatre practitioners and writers today. In the fourth of five programmes celebrating the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Chekhov's birth, the novelist and short story writer Ruth Thomas tells the true tale of how a missing cat in a misty cherry orchard started a life long interest in the life and work of Chekhov.

Musical Outsiders

Episode 5

2pm: Afternoon on 3: Musical Outsiders

Katie Derham concludes a week of Elgar performances from non-British performers and looks at the Outsider in music

Britten and Elgar from Australia today, both with a theme of the Sea. Then, to Schubert, and his expression of the artist as outsider in his "Wanderer" Fantasy. Geirr Tveitt started out as an outsider on the periphery of Europe, born in rural Norway, in the Hardanger valley, but was educated in Leipzig (just like Elgar) before continuing his studies in Paris in the 1920's where he met the great and the good, before returning to his home in Norway and developing his individual musical voice there.

When the Stalin-backed criticism of Shostakovich appeared in the late 1930's, in response to his 4th Symphony and his opera "Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk" it was a bitter blow to the composer. Criticism like this from the Soviet "establishment" could have life threatening consequences, and for a while Shostakovich was definitely an "Outsider" in Soviet society. Shostakovich's return to the fold came with his 5th Symphony, written in 1937. As Shostakovich wrote at the time " A Soviet artist's response to justified criticism."

FRI 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00q911r)
Ravel, Britten, Berlioz

Part 1

Presented by Catherine Bott

The BBC Philharmonic opens this live concert with Britten's atmospheric interludes from his Suffolk-based opera Peter Grimes: pieces which encompass all the drama of the sea, from dawn to dusk as well as a tremendous storm.

Louis Lortie joins them for Ravel's left-hand concerto masterpiece, written originally for the pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who commissioned several innovative one-handed works after losing an arm in the First World War.

To end the concert, one of the most descriptive pieces of romantic music ever written, the Symphonie fantastique, depicting Berlioz's journey from falling in love to rejection in five movements - a series of opium-induced visions of his beloved.

FRI 19:50 Twenty Minutes (b00q911t)
Day of Wrath

The Dies Irae chant originated in the 13th Century and served as a potent reminder of the impending Day of Judgement, much feared in the Medieval mindset. For centuries, it held its place in the Requiem Mass, but with the dawning of the Romantic age in the 19th Century, Hector Berlioz employed the melody of the chant in his Symphonie Fantastique and began a secular trend which was to preoccupy and fascinate composers. So, Liszt revelled in its macabre associations in his Totentanz and Rachmaninov incorporated the distinctive four-note motif into many of his works. When the Dies Irae became an optional part of the Requiem Mass in the mid-20th Century, its grim foreboding found a new home in horror film scores, perhaps most famously in Wendy Carlos' electronic rendition of the melody in the opening sequence to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining.
Sara Mohr-Pietsch traces the journey of this chant with the help of Jeremy Summerly, David Nice and David Huckvale and discovers that the ear-worm of the Dies Irae is hard to shake off.

FRI 23:00 The Essay (b00q9120)
Chekhov Essays

Xiaolu Guo

Novelist, short story writer and film-maker Xiaolu Guo, reflects her personal debt to Chekhov in a Chekhovian short story of her own.

The novelist, short story writer and film-maker Xiaolu Guo was born in a fishing village in south China. Now resident in London, she makes unexpected connections between the lives of the Chinese peasants of her childhood and the lives of the Russian peasants as depicted by Chekhov in his short stories. In a new short story in which she imagines herself travelling as Chekhov himself to the prison island of Sakhalin, she pays tribute to all she has learned from Chekhov in his deeply humane depiction of peasant life in a bitter winter landscape.


FRI 23:15 World on 3 (b00q9122)
Celtic Connections 2010

Episode 2

Mary Ann Kennedy live from the Late Night Sessions at the world's biggest winter music festival, Celtic Connections in Glasgow. The Sessions run from very late until very early, with line-ups that are traditionally never divulged before the day.

For seventeen years, Celtic Connections has brought musicians not only from across Scotland but from across the world in a festival that celebrates connections between cultures. The Celtic world is at the heart of the Festival, with performances from leading Scottish folk musicians, plus artists from Ireland, France and Spain, as well as from across the Atlantic. And again, the Festival makes connections further afield with musicians from Africa and the Arab world.

This is the second of two live broadcasts from the Late Night Sessions.
