The BBC has announced that it has a sustainable plan for the future of the BBC Singers, in association with The VOCES8 Foundation.
The threat to reduce the staff of the three English orchestras by 20% has not been lifted, but it is being reconsidered.

SAT 12:15 Music Feature (b00sw2p7)
Why Do Women Die in Opera?

Where would opera be without dead women? Associate editor of the Guardian and opera fanatic, Martin Kettle, considers the fact that, be it through suicide, murder, asphyxiation, drowning, execution, consumption, leaping off a balcony or dying in an avalanche, when it comes to the most popular tragic operas, to a disconcerting extent it's the sopranos, and occasionally the mezzos, who get the chop.

Together with singers Natalie Dessay and Christine Rice, singer/director Catherine Malfitano, director David McVicar, ENO music director Edward Gardner, The Royal Opera House's director of opera Elaine Padmore and scholars Peter Conrad, Susan McClary and Margaret Reynolds, Martin considers the social, historical, political and artistic contexts in which to understand the dying operatic heroine in canonical operas including La Traviata, Tosca, Madame Butterfly, La Boheme, Carmen, Manon, Tristan and Isolde, the Flying Dutchman, Tannhauser, Gotterdammerung, Salome, Elektra and Lulu.

He looks at how composers' own relationships with women might shed light on their dying divas and he weighs up a certain feminist approach to nineteenth century tragic opera which presents death as a punishment that the female romantic lead is required (by a 19th century bourgeois audience) to pay for living too passionately.


SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00sv6hp)
The City of Salzburg

Lucie Skeaping takes a look at some of the composers who lived and worked in Salzburg, before it became the Mozartean shrine we know it as today!
The city itself is the fourth largest in modern-day Austria, and sits neatly on the banks of the river Salzach, at the northern boundary of the Alps. The name Salzburg - literally "Salt Castle" - comes from the salt mines in the area that helped start the regeneration of the city in the 7th century. It was a holy man - Saint Rupert - who saw its potential - and founded the city on what was the ruined Roman settlement of Iuvavum. A hundred or so years later, barges carrying salt along the river, were subject to a toll, and as a result, the city began to flourish.
Rupert was also the founder of Christianity in the region, and the cathedral which was begun there during his lifetime, now bears both his name, and his relics - although there has been a lot of building and rebuilding over the 13-hundred or so years since his demise! In the 17th & 18th centuries, Salzburg was also an important seat in the Holy Roman Empire, and for a time was even an independent state within it.
The cathedral and its surroundings naturally attracted all sorts of people, including craftsmen, artists and musicians such as Heinrich Finck, Paul Hofhaimer, Johann Stadlmayr, Abraham Megerle, Heinrich Biber, Georg Muffat, Michael Haydn and Leopold Mozart.


SAT 14:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00ss2c6)
Genia Kuhmeier, Helmut Deutsch

Presented by Katie Derham. Live from London's Wigmore Hall, Austrian Soprano Genia Kuhmeier sings Beethoven, Schubert, Dvorak and Strauss, accompanied by Helmut Deutsch.

Freudvoll und leidvoll (Goethe), Op. 84 No. 2

Schlechtes Wetter, Op. 69 No. 5
Meinem Kinde, Op. 37 No. 3
Cäcilie, Op. 27 No. 2

Genia Kühmeier (soprano)
Helmut Deutsch (piano)

Genia Kuhmeier is one of the finest sopranos of her generation, highly acclaimed for her Mozart, which is appropriate as she was born in Salzburg. She brings to today's Wigmore Hall an intensity honed on the opera stages of the world, and in Helmut Deutsch she has one of the pre-eminent accompanists.

Genia Kuhmeier begins with 2 songs Beethoven wrote as part of the incidental music to Goethe's play Egmont - Klarchen, the Count of Egmont's mistress, desperately tries to save her lover, who prefers to face death rather than dishonour under the oppression of the Duke of Alba. In particular, "Freudvoll und leidvoll", contains the line: "Heavenly Joy, Deadly Sorrow" - which has been used as a definition of Romanticism.

Four Schubert songs follow, the first also to a text by Goethe. Gretchen is seated at her spinning wheel, with the piano's descriptive accompaniment underpinning her despair at the loss of her lover, and in the last song, Die junge Nonne, the young nun has turned her back up on her earthly passions, and awaits release from this life into heavenly joy.

Dvorak's Gypsy Melodies take us away from Viennese lieder. These songs are filled with Dvorak's characteristic Czech-ness and Genia Kuhmeier sings them in Czech.

Genia Kuhmeier and Helmut Deutsch conclude their recital with songs by Richard Strauss, and the final song, Cacilie, continues the theme of passion, both earthly and heavenly.


SAT 15:00 World Routes (b00nh5zy)
An Appalachian Road Trip

North Carolina

Following his experiences at the Mount Airy Fiddlers Convention writer and musician Banning Eyre embarks on a journey across the state of North Carolina to hear the music and stories of some of the older players and singers who can trace a direct line back to before the age of the radio and the gramophone, to when Old Time music was a strictly oral tradition.

Banning meets 90 year old fiddler Jo Thomson, who is perhaps the only known surviving Old Time African-American string band player. His playing and stories capture a period of time before this music was delineated on race grounds, of a time when both black and white string bands flourished.

Sat out on her porch on top of a mountain near Mars Hill, eighth generation ballad singer Sheila Kay Adams, tells stories and sings songs as her grandmother taught her, out in the open, singing to the fireflies and crickets. Her ballads, that tell of Knights and Ladies and boats at sea, hail from the 'Old Country': England, Ireland and Scotland. Passed down through singing generations in the little settlement of Sodom where she grew up, she preserves the haunting and often macabre song of her ancestors, and is today passing it on to her children and grandchildren.

89 year-old Benton Flippen and his Smokey Valley boys, are remnants of a past age and of the heyday of Old Time stringband music, having learnt their tunes at the knee of their parents and grandparents. It won't be long before the last of this generation has passed, and those guardians of the flame, who knew this music as a vital pre-modern part of everyday life in the rural south are with us no longer.

Produced by Peter Meanwell

SUNDAY 27 JUNE 2010

SUN 00:00 Jazz Library (b00m0g73)
Jake Hanna

Best known as the powerhouse behind the 1960s Woody Herman band, Jake Hanna was one of the most versatile and experienced drummers in jazz before his death in February 2010.

Alyn Shipton presents an archive interview with Hanna in which the drummer selects the highlights from his recorded work, including discs with Herman, Harry James, Marian McPartland and Toshiko Akiyoshi.

When Jake Hanna joined Harry James, the bandleader sent his wife to collect him and his drums from the station - not everyone can claim to have been met off a train by Betty Grable.

This is just one of the stories that Jake Hanna tells Alyn Shipton in his highly entertaining account of his recording career, which also includes work with Bing Crosby and re-launching the career of Rosemary Clooney as a jazz singer.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b00sv6tf)
Thomas Allen

Michael Berkeley's guest today is Sir Thomas Allen, whose trajectory from modest origins in the North East of England to international acclaim as one of the finest operatic baritones of our time in part inspired the story of 'Billy Elliot'. After studying singing at the Royal College of Music he made his professional operatic debut as Rossini's Figaro over 40 years ago, and has gone on to sing many leading roles in a range of works from Mozart to Benjamin Britten at the world's great opera houses and festivals. He is widely admired in the operatic world for his beautiful voice, versatility in repertoire, and supreme acting ability. This season his roles have included Don Alfonso (Cosi fan tutte), Faninal (Der Rosenkavalier), Gianni Schicchi and Beckmesser (Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg).

Thomas Allen's private musical passions, as revealed to Michael Berkeley, encompass three operatic excerpts - the Overture to Humperdinck's 'Hansel and Gretel', which he loves both for its childlike simplicity and Wagnerian overtones; the Prelude to Act III of Wagner's 'Die Meistersinger', and the final scene of Monteverdi's 'The Return of Ulysses' in Jeffrey Tate's recording of the controversial arrangement by Hans Werner Henze, in which Allen himself sings the role of Ulysses. There's also an excerpt from Schubert's great Fantasia in F minor for piano duet, and the 'Moonlight' episode from Frank Bridge's tone-poem 'The Sea', which reminds him of his own origins in a North-Eastern fishing village.


SUN 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00sv6th)
Venanzio Rauzzini

Catherine Bott visits Bath to mark the bicentenary of the death of one of its most famous adopted sons - the celebrated 18th century singer, teacher and composer, Venanzio Rauzzini. Rauzzini was born near Rome, and spent the early part of his career wowing audiences in Venice, Munich and Vienna. When the 16-year old Mozart heard Rauzzini sing for the first time, he was so dazzled by its beauty and by his acting ability that he decided to write the lead role in his new opera for him. Rauzzini gave the premiere of Lucio Silla in Milan in 1772, and took the audiences there by storm - so much so, that Mozart wrote his now famous Exsultate Jubilate for him as a thankyou gift.

After several successful seasons at the King's Theatre in London, Rauzzini settled in Bath, where he remained for the last 30 years of his life, running the city's musical life, virtually single-handed. Rauzzini was incredibly good-looking and charming - in fact he was quite a hit with the ladies, especially those of the nobility. It's said that one Lady Gooch offered him a vast some of money to go off with her...which, incidentally, he declined!

The bass-baritone Raimund Herincx, who is something of a Rauzzini expert, believes that Rauzzini's prowess in the bedroom might suggest that he wasn't actually a castrato at all, but a natural male soprano - rather like Radu Marian and Michael Maniaci, whose voices both feature in the programme.

Catherine and Raimund visit Bath Abbey - the site of Rauzzini's grave and memorial plaque - and his beautiful house in the suburb of Widcombe, where Joseph Haydn visited him in 1794.

Today Aled is joined by Wesley fan Martin Neary who like his Victorian predecessor was Organist and Master of the Choristers at Winchester Cathedral.

Also a brief focus on the illegal downloading and photocopying of choral music. Aled talks to Stephen Navin Chief Executive of the Music Publisher's Association, and Hertfordshire choral director David Boarder.


SUN 20:00 Drama on 3 (b007fpgq)
Antony and Cleopatra

Antony and Cleopatra is Shakespeare's last great tragedy.

Telling the story of one of history's most famous couples, Antony and Cleopatra contains some of the most beautiful poetry in the English Language.

Shakespeare's last great tragedy is an epic play of action set against a huge political and geographical backdrop, but at the centre of the play is a story about what happens when two people fall in love. In this play, love is a madness that leads to excess and imbalance. Antony and Cleopatra are middle-aged people who have loved before and often and they seize this late love as if it is their last chance. Their love possesses them and destroys all rational behaviour.

Antony and Cleopatra are a celebrity couple - they live their lives in public and they wield tremendous power. They are 'great' figures, and very conscious of their greatness - both are preoccupied with the figure they will cut in history. But they are also 'a soldier and his lass', driven by common human emotions. Shakespeare shows that great natures can produce great vices as well as great virtues - we see their vanity, cruelty and irresponsibility. Like glamorous stars, Antony and Cleopatra are both deeply attractive and open to harsh judgement.

MON 00:00 Jazz Line-Up (b00sw3m8)
Bobby McFerrin

Jazz Line-Up's centrepiece this week is an extended interview with star vocalist Bobby McFerrin. Not surprisingly his parents were both classical singers who supported young Bobby's study of musical theory at age six. Throughout his high school years in Los Angeles the piano was his primary instrument. His inspiration to sing was first channelled into piano and voice jazz improvisations. Then in 1983 he began to give a cappella solo performances, which led to a tour in Germany where he received tremendous acclaim. In short order, due to numerous appearances on Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion, where he was a treasured guest, combining his talents with numerous artists such as Manhattan Transfer, Herbie Hancock, Jon Hendricks and Robin Williams he became a well known creative luminary.
His conversation with Kevin LeGendre will include extracts from his current CD.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00sv70k)
Gabriel Faure (1845-1924)

Fauré: The City Awaits

Donald Macleod travels to Paris to chart the life of Gabriel Fauré. He's joined by the composer's English biographer Jessica Duchen, pianist Billy Eidi, and the leading authority on Fauré's music Jean-Michel Nectoux.

Listen to his work and you'd think he was the perfect Parisian gentleman. Fauré's music is the epitome of charm, of a Gallic gentleman's reserve. There's nothing offensive, only page after page of utter beauty and ravishing melody. But look into his eyes and you get hints of another story: those dark orbs of a deep-thinking southerner, a man who always struggled for recognition, but who never lost the ability to seduce a lady.

This week Donald Macleod is in Paris to follow Fauré's footsteps, and to probe this most enigmatic of personalities. From the start, Fauré is an outsider. Sent by his family to study at a school for gifted youngsters, the composer quickly decides that the traditional route is not for him. Instead of heading to the conservatoire, dogged by its reputation for fustiness, he falls in with the world of aristocratic music-making. And at the former home of singer Pauline Viardot, Donald Macleod rediscovers something of the allure for Fauré, not just musical opportunities but also the attraction of a highly cultured lady in the form of Viardot's daughter.

We soon discover that this is a template for the composer's life. A few blocks away we take a look inside one of the city's stunning former musical salons. Here, Winnaretta Singer, daughter of the sewing machine king, hosted the likes of Marcel Proust and Georges Sand. Fauré too was a regular, and even embarked on a dramatic work for the salon with legendary writer Paul Verlaine. It was to be ill-fated though: Verlaine succumbed spectacularly to drink and his plots became so off-the-wall that Fauré had to abandon his project.

There are more refined moments too. In the ever-controversial church of La Madeleine, at once a tribute to the revolution and a souped-up banking hall cum railway station, we find the inspiration of Fauré's most famous work, the Requiem, in the death of a local architect, the passing of the composer's own father, and the astounding acoustics of the building itself.

But it's in the equally echoey hallways of the Paris Conservatoire buildings where we get closest to the real Fauré. It took an internal scandal before they would let him in, but here at last Fauré gets a chance to cement his reputation as a member of the French establishment as director of the institution. Here we find the very room where he had his office, and (in the Salle Fauré) the stage where he would take performance exams, and even an ante-room solely for students to pull themselves together or recover their shattered composure before and after playing to the great man.



Donald Macleod begins his week in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, at Passy Cemetery, where Fauré is buried with family members, friends, and leading cultural figures. Together with writer Jessica Duchen he charts the complex web of personalities in the composer's early life, including a formative bond with the musician Camille Saint-Saëns which at times seemingly bordered on the sexual.


MON 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00sv73z)
Lars Vogt

Internationally renowned pianist Lars Vogt performs live from London's Wigmore Hall in this Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert. Schubert's first set of four Impromptus were written in the year before his untimely death in 1828, and are some of the finest examples of the genre. Schumann's Fantasy was written during an enforced separation from his beloved Clara Wieck, a virtuoso pianist whose father was vehemently opposed to their relationship. Schumann wrote to her that 'the first movement [of the Fantasy] is the most passionate I have ever composed; it is a profound lament on your account'.

To begin today, highlights from the concert recorded on 20 June 2010 in the Pickaquoy Centre in Kirkwall, starting appropriately with an evocative seascape in Britten's Four Sea Interludes from his opera Peter Grimes. From the orchestra's 2007 visit there's music by the festival's founder, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, and a child's vision of Heaven in Mahler's Fourth Symphony - sung by the Scottish soprano Lisa Milne with the BBC SSO conducted by its then Associate Guest Conductor, Stefan Solyom.

MON 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00sv789)
Aldeburgh Festival 2010

Huelgas Ensemble

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

A concert of choral gems from the Huelgas Ensemble - a vocal consort specialising in medieval and Renaissance repertoire who exlore all the highways and byways of the repertoire.

This programme from the Aldeburgh Festival blends the sensual sonorities of Lassus and his Franco-Flemish contemporaries with a real rarity - one of only two existing works by a forgotten Englishman, Thomas Ashewell. Ashewell was active in the early 16th century, first at Lincoln then at Durham Cathedral. This is astonishing music, its chromatic harmonies and sophisticated invention both peculiarly English in its isolation, yet far in advance of his Continental contemporaries.

Thomas Ashewell: Missa Ave Maria
Lassus: Lamentations of Jeremiah for Good Friday
Gombert: Je prens congie
Clemens non Papa: Qui Consolabatur; Two Chansons

Simon Callow, To Kill a Mockingbird

Matthew Sweet talks to the actor Simon Callow about his new book 'My Life in Pieces'. Callow discusses the actors and productions that have shaped him as a performer.

Since its publication 50 years ago, Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize winning novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird' has sold more than 30 million copies in 18 languages and is a set text in schools around the world. The novelist Andrew O'Hagan, the former Lord Chancellor Charles Falconer and anthropologist Kit Davis join Matthew to discuss the enduring significance of Harper Lee's only novel.

And Clay Shirky joins Matthew to talk about what he describes as 'cognitive surplus', the surfeit of intellect, energy and time the Western world has enjoyed since the Second World War. He argues that this returns us to forms of collaboration and social activity which were natural to us up until the early 20th century.


MON 22:00 Composer of the Week (b00sv70k)

MON 23:00 The Essay (b00sv78f)
Couples

Episode 1

Oscar-winning writer Frederic Raphael reads the first of five new essays exploring the theme of couples throughout history, literature, classical civilisation, culture and politics.

He begins the series looking at the origin of human coupling and the earliest couples - in Greek mythology, the Bible and early civilisation.

Frederic explores the relation between the first human couples depicted by early mythology, Prometheus and his early humans, and at Adam and Eve, as well as man's desire for ideal love.

Drawing on the early ideas of Plato and Aristophanes he explores different versions of why humans pair off two by two, and at the political impact of, for example, early Egyptian coupling, which included brother/sister marriage.

The series goes on to look at other famous couples of politics, public life and literature.

Aldeburgh Festival 2010

Monteverdi Choir, English Baroque Soloists

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

One of the towering landmarks of Western music, Bach's B minor mass may not have been originally conceived as a complete work, yet it is extraordinarily coherent in its architectural grandeur and complexity and in its outpouring of emotion, something which has arguably never been matched in any subsequent mass setting.

In this concert from the Aldeburgh Festival, Sir John Eliot Gardiner brings his considerable depth of knowledge of Bach's music to this magnificent work.

Rana Mitter

Rana Mitter talks to the art critic Andrew Graham Dixon about his new biography of Caravaggio, and what police records of the time tell us about the violent world in which Caravaggio lived - including his life on the run after he killed a criminal, Ranuccio Tomassoni, in a duel in Rome.

Rana hosts a discussion of how markets can promote or hinder environmental issues, with the author Heather Rogers challenging many of the sacred cows of environmentalism, and the economist Catherine Cameron arguing that green issues would be best left to the market.

Jay Kennedy of Manchester University believes he has discovered a hidden musical and mathematical code in Plato's works, which unlocks previously unknown areas of Platonic thought. To find out if this news will change how we read Plato, Rana is joined by Jay Kennedy and Professor of Ancient Philosophy, Mary Margaret McCabe.

And two Chinese directors, Jing Guo and Dingding Ke, join Rana to talk about life in modern Shanghai, and their television portraits of this city. A competitive spirit permeates each programme - from the pressure to achieve high grades at a progressive primary school; for children in hours of acrobatic practice in the city's famous circus school; and in adult life - with one Shanghai businessman working every waking hour, every day of the week.

Couples

Episode 2

Oscar-winning writer Frederic Raphael a new essay exploring some of couples who have become archetypes in classical myth and literature - including Odysseus and Penelope and Orpheus and Eurydice.

Frederic looks at the complex relationships between men and women in classical Greece - at Helen, Menelaus and prince Paris, and of the soldier Odysseus who went the distance to get his wife back.

He also re-examines the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and offers a new interpretation of that fatal look back.

Aldeburgh Festival 2010

Ensemble Intercontemporain

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

One of the giants of contemporary music gives one of the major concerts of this year's Aldeburgh Festival - the composer/conductor Pierre Boulez, along with the Ensemble Intercontemporain. They perform works by some of the landmark composers of the 20th century, including Varese and Ligeti, and a brand new piece from the 101-year old Elliot Carter.

Boulez once said of Varese that he 'rejected the classical conception of the orchestra and of tonality', and in Octandre he uses incredible textures that give clarity to his rhythms, conjuring up entirely new sound worlds. Ligeti's Chamber Concerto achieves a similar rhythmic agility and multi-layer effects with a small ensemble, including winds, strings and piano.

Alongside these is another master of the 20th-century, Elliot Carter, with a new work for the 21st century. 'What are years' is a song-cycle to texts by Marianne Moore, an American poet most prominent in the 1920s. Carter describes how 'Marianne Moore's brilliant poetry with its sharp but personal fascination with life, has held my attention for many years, so I decided to write this song cycle which shows a few of her many sides'.

Boulez's own pieces he often calls 'work-in-progress', and Derive 2 for small ensemble is no exception, being reworked and performed at various stages of development.

Varese: Octandre
Ligeti: Chamber concerto
Elliott Carter: What are years
Boulez: Derive 2

WED 21:15 Night Waves (b00sv7k6)
Slavoj Zizek, Jared Diamond

Anne McElvoy talks to the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek and about his new book 'Living in the End Times' in which he argues that we are witnessing the death of capitalism.

And the acclaimed American scientist and geographer Jared Diamond joins Night Waves for a series of personal columns deploying his award-winning mixture of accessible physiology, zoology, geography and linguistics. Diamond came to public attention witth his best-selling and genre-busting books about human history "Guns, Germs, and Steel" and "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed" - and he is also an eminent scholar, recipient of numerous academic awards.

For Night Waves, Jared Diamond responds to a series of topical issues with a brief essay that takes us back into the far reaches of civilization to find the continuities and eternal truths of human society -and its relationship with the natural world.

Diamond has famously said of his work: "I've set myself the modest task of trying to explain the broad pattern of human history, on all the continents, for the last 13,000 years".

Anne talks to the Brazilian choreographer Deborah Colker whose new work Cruel is at the Barbican in London.

And as the big theatrical institutions encourage their audiences out of their seats and into "theatre games" we talk about the vogue for "interactive theatre". Anne meets up with Improbable Theatre at their rehearsals for Lifegame, a theatre show that takes as its subject and theme the life of one individual and discusses the role of the audience with John E McGrath, the artistic director of the National Theatre Wales and the playwright Mark Ravenhill.

Oscar-winning writer Frederic Raphael reads a new essay looking at some of literature's most famous couples.

He looks at Ovid as the first writer to make adultery his overt theme, and Somerset Maugham's satire of the marriages of Thomas Hardy in his novel Cakes and Ale.

Frederic explores how writers including Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway have interpreted couples, real and imagined, as well as looking at their own marriages and affairs - both failed and successful.

Thursday Opera Matinee

Mozart's Don Giovanni

Eat your heart out Nick Clegg: Don Giovanni has slept with 2065 women. Or so he says, anyway. But perhaps he's losing his touch: in the three hours of Mozart's opera he doesn't manage to add to the total at all. Admittedly Donna Elvira and Donna Anna are already notches on his bedpost - and they're none too happy about it either, especially Anna, who blames Giovanni for the death of her father the Commendatore. But the Don can't get it together with perky country girl Zerlina either. He doesn't even get to sing an aria. And at the end when the fires of hell await, not even Giovanni's coalition partner Leporello can save him. Male fantasy? Moral fable? Join Katie Derham for your chance to decide in this performance from the stage of the Vienna State Opera.

Spitalfields Festival 2010

English Concert

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

The English Concert and their director Harry Bicket perform a selection of outstanding works from the Baroque repertory. In this concert from the Spitalfields Festival they are joined by one of the UK's leading young sopranos Elizabeth Watts, for two cantatas by Bach. The first is a secular Italian cantata about which little is known, while the other is one of his most enduring works for soprano and trumpet, brilliantly illustrating the call to 'praise God in every nation.'

The trumpet also takes centre-stage in the sparkling concerto by Telemann, and in Bach's Suite no.2 it is the flute's turn to shine. The programme opens with the elegant Chacony by Purcell, which retains elements of the stately dance within its varations.

Purcell: Chacony in G minor, Z.807
Telemann: Trumpet concerto in D
Bach: Cantata BWV.209: Non se che sia dolore

Claire Denis

Philip Dodd talks to Jake Adelstein, the American journalist who became the first foreign reporter to work for one of Japan's largest daily newspapers. Adelstein became the point of contact for the family of murdered British nightclub hostess Lucie Blackman, and received personal death threats from one of the Yakuza organised-crime gangs. His book 'Tokyo Vice' explores his experience of organised crime and the shocking realities of sex trafficking in Japan.

The study of ancient Greece and Rome is often seen as the preserve of the elite, inaccessible to the working class and confirming and reinforcing class structures. Classicist Edith Hall and the poet Tony Harrison join Philip Dodd to discuss the relationship between the working classes and the classics and to ask whether the discipline is still relevant today.

Philip will also be talking to the French director Claire Denis. Her new film 'White Material' is set in an un-named African country that is descending into civil war. Isabelle Huppert stars as a white plantation owner who refuses to abandon the coffee harvest despite signs that the violence is closing in on her family.

And a new book argues that the Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, hailed as a pioneer of Modernism, was in fact truer to the Arts and Crafts movement than has been realised. The author James Macaulay and the architect Rab Bennetts join Philip to discuss his significance and the ways in which his work was hindered by his difficult personality.

Gabriel Faure (1845-1924)

Fauré: Passions Within

The organisers of a village fête in the Vale of Glamorgan strike lucky with a star guest organist, none other than Fauré himself. Donald Macleod is joined by the composer's English biographer, Jessica Duchen, to find out how the Frenchman found himself amongst the practitioners of palmistry and ventriloquism at this quaintly British extravaganza.


FRI 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00sv83s)
Aldeburgh Festival 2010

Arcanto Quartet, Alexander Lonquich - Kurtag, Mozart, Schumann

Katie Derham ends the second week of highlights of concerts from this year's Aldeburgh Festival with music performed by the Arcanto Quartet and the pianist Alexander Lonquich. The Arcanto Quartet begin with music by Kurtag, Moments Musicaux, Op.44 (2006), followed by Mozart's String Quartet in C, K.465, The 'Dissonance'. For the final work in their programme, the Arcanto Quartet are joined by the pianist Alexander Lonquich in a performance of Robert Schumann's Piano Quintet, op.44.


FRI 14:20 Afternoon Concert (b00sv83v)
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in Orkney

Episode 4

Katie Derham concludes Afternoon on 3's celebration of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra's visit to the 2010 St Magnus Festival in the Orkney Isles.
The final concert of this year's Festival, on 23 June, was a glittering programme, with star Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti joining the orchestra for Szymanowski's first violin concerto, the piece in which she made her name in 2004 with this orchestra as winner of the BBC Young Musician of the year. No finale would be complete without music by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies who founded the Festival in 1977. And the concert ends with a crackle and a bang in Stravinsky's thrilling masterpiece.
You can also hear "Tuireadh" by Scottish composer James MacMillan, which was given its world premiere in the 1991 Festival as a requiem for the victims of the Piper Alpha Oil Rig Disaster - which happened in 1988 not far from Orkney in the North Sea. And to round off this week-long celebration of the St Magnus festival, An Orkney Wedding (with Sunrise) by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies.
The longstanding Director of the Festival Glenys Hughes retires this year and she joins Katie Derham live from Orkney to reflect on her time in the job, and the uniqueness of the Festival.

FRI 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00sv83z)
Spitalfields Festival 2010

The Sixteen

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

A double-bill of Monteverdi concerts from the Spitalfields Festival in one programme. In the first concert the Sixteen and Harry Christophers perform sacred music by Monteverdi - some of his most vivacious works. In the second, the charismatic jazz pianist Julian Joseph joins them for some embellishment of Monteverdi's music. Extemporisation is something that Monteverdi would have been familiar with, and his musicians would have expected to have some freedom of expression. Here, with Julian Joseph and his bass player, Mark Hodgson, the Sixteen see how far they can take the idea of a baroque-jazz synthesis.

Monteverdi: Gloria a7; Laudate Dominum omnes gentes (Primo); Confitebor Terzo alla francese a5; O ciechi ciechi; Beatus vir (Primo); Voi ch'ascoltate; Laudate pueri (Primo); Dixit Dominus (Secondo)

Monteverdi, arr Joseph etc: Et iterum; Confitebor Terzo alla francese; Iste confessor (Secondo); Chi vol che m’innamori; Deus tuorum militum; Salve regina

Of Mutability is out now from Faber.

Christos Tsiolkas

Australian novelist Christos Tsiolkas won the 2009 Commonwealth Writers Prize for his exhilirating portrait of suburban life amongst second-generation Greek, Indian and Lebanese Australians. This week on The Verb he presents a memoir of a long hot summer in 1970s Melbourne, Forty Degrees.

Peter Blegvad

The Verb's Sony award-winning Eartoonist makes a long awaited return with a brand new song, Golden Helmet, inspired by a medieval illustration of a knight's disused helmet being used as a hive for bees.

Adam O'Riordan

FRI 23:00 The Essay (b00sv843)
Couples

Episode 5

Oscar-winning writer Frederic Raphael reads a new essay about public couples.

Beginning with royal couples as the first public couples Frederic explores those very public pairings including Victoria and Albert and Elizabeth and Sir Walter Raleigh. He looks at how Byron became one of the first celebrities to exploit his relationships with women for fame and at the great political "couple" William Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli.

He also looks at couples in Hollywood such as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and alternative society public couples such as Simone de Beauvoir and Jean Paul Sartre.


FRI 23:15 World on 3 (b00sv845)
Mary Ann Kennedy

Mary Ann Kennedy with music from around the world, plus a studio session with Senegalese singer Carlou D. Once a member of Senengal's biggest rap group - Positive Black Soul - he's now gone solo and blends spiritual texts with jazz, soul and hip-hop. Producer Roger Short.

Carlou D left school at the age of 16 to perform on local stages around his neighbourhood. He soon came to the attention of the political rapper, Didier Awadi, and subsequently joined the ranks of Senegal's first, and arguably most successful, hip-hop group, Positive Black Soul. Now a solo artist, Carlou D belongs to the Baay Fall Spiritual sect, blending the essence of their philosophy with musical elements such as Jazz, soul and rap, alongside the direct and outspoken social and political commentary of hip-hop. Purity, simplicity, and respect for others are the cornerstone of Carlou D's concept. His third album comes out this month.
