SAT 12:15 Music Feature (b00w5ltt)
The Kreutzer Sonata

Marking the centenary of his death, Katie Derham considers the relationship between Tolstoy and the Russian composers of the early 20th century.

"Music, like every other art, but especially music, makes us desire that everyone, as many people as possible, take part in our experience of pleasure", wrote Count Leo Tolstoy in his diary in October 1910.

Several weeks later, during an icy November, Tolstoy - one of the world's greatest artists and moral activists - fled his family estate in Yasnaya Polyana having finally decided to leave his wife. He died on his journey. One of the most renowned of his later works was a novella called The Kreutzer Sonata which told the tale of the infatuation of an older married woman for a young violinist.

This programme will explore how music remained a source of continued recreation and delight and was an emotional stimulus for Tolstoy for much of his life.

Tolstoy loved Russian folk music and the rousing music of the gypsies. At university, he was inspired by friends who had a passion for music to play the piano and he wrote a waltz. He even thought he might become a composer.

Later on, eminent musicians visited the Tolstoy homes in the country and in Moscow - and some performed there. They included the great pianist and composer Anton Rubinstein, Sergei Rachmaninov, the harpsichordist and pianist Wanda Landovska, and most famously Tchaikovsky.

Tchaikovsky wrote of meeting Tolstoy: "I was frightened and self-conscious when I found myself face to face with him... but his manner was very straightforward and open... with me he only wanted to talk music."

SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00w5ltw)
Opera Profiles

Opera Profile: Handel's Alcina

Lucie Skeaping continues the Early Music Show's series of opera profiles by delving into the music and history surrounding Handel's "Alcina". Based on the epic poem by Ariosto, the libretto by Antonio Marchi provided Handel with some very intense dramatic opportunities, including star-crossed lovers, dark magic and madness.

Alcina was composed for Handel's first season at London's Covent Garden Theatre and it premiered on April 16 1735. Like many of the composer's other serious stage works, it fell into general obscurity; after a revival in Brunswick in 1738 it was not performed again until a production in Leipzig nearly two centuries later, in 1928. It has now become one of Handel's most popular operas.

Lucie Skeaping talks to the American harpsichordist and musical director Alan Curtis at his home in Florence. Curtis recorded Alcina in 2007 with his ensemble Il Complesso Barocco. That recording also starred Joyce DiDonato in the title role and Karina Gauvin as her sister Morgana (the role that was originally written for Thomas Arne's wife, Cecila Young).

London Jazz Festival 2010

AfroCubism

AfroCubism: the legendary 'lost' project that became the Buena Vista Social Club is finally realised. In this concert from the London Jazz Festival, musicians from Mali and Cuba come together for the collaboration that was the original Buena Vista idea. Introduced from The Barbican by Lucy Duran.

It was in 1996 that record producer Nick Gold planned a project involving veteran Cuban musicians with virtuoso performers from Mali, to be recorded in Havana. In the end, because of passport problems, the Malian musicians were unable to come, so the recording went ahead with just the Cubans - resulting in the classic Buena Vista Social Club album. Now Nick Gold has finally realised the original project for a new recording and concert tour. The musicians include Cuban singer Eliades Ochoa, one of the Buena Vista veterans, together with Malians Toumani Diabate on kora, Bassekou Kouyate on ngoni, and Djelimady Tounkara playing guitar, all now 14 years older, but still top performers. This London Jazz Festival concert was recorded at The Barbican on 21st November.

SAT 18:15 Opera on 3 (b00w5lv4)
Mozart's Don Giovanni

Live
6.15pm
Young, arrogant, contemptuous and sexually voracious, Don Giovanni is the dissolute aristocrat who doesn't take no for an answer and leaves a trail of outrage and wrecked lives in his wake. But in the end, even he comes up against something he can't dupe, evade, or kill. One of the greatest (and most hummable) operas in the repertoire stars one of the UK's most exciting singers, Iain Paterson, in the title role, leading an outstanding cast, conducted by Kirill Karabits. Presenter Suzy Klein is joined by novelist Jeanette Winterson to discuss the multilayered music and the production by theatre director, Rufus Norris

SAT 21:45 Between the Ears (b00w5lw4)
The Nightfishing

WS Graham's poem adapted for radio by Jonathan Davidson. With Siobhan Redmond and David Rintoul.

An attempt to make some sense of a difficult and elusive modern masterpiece. The poem was published in 1955. It tells of a fishing trip after herring but much else including the difficulties of writing and of turning experience into words. Its fresh-made language has found it many admirers but it also kept it from many other readers. Perhaps a radio adapatation can unlock it.


SAT 22:15 Pre-Hear (b00w5lw6)
Odaline de la Martinez

Music by Cuban-born composer and conductor Odaline de la Martinez, who founded her new music group Lontano 35 years ago, opening performance channels for composers across the board. Her own work has often been put to one side in the service of music by other composers whom she championed over the years. Tonight thre are two pieces from her own pen, revealing her taste for instrumental colour, lyrical line and passionate utterance.
Litanies (1981) for flute, string trio and harp recalls Martinez's early years in Cuba.
Lontano, with soprano Olivia Robinson, directed by Odaline de la Martinez.
Canciones (1983) based on four early poems of Federico Garcia Lorca.

Howard Jacobson

In a programme recorded and first broadcast in 2002, Michael Berkeley talks to writer Howard Jacobson, whose latest novel 'The Finkler Question' has just won the 2010 Man Booker Prize. Renowned for his razor-sharp humour and irreverent wit, he has also written several works of non-fiction, including a book on the theory and history of comedy. His tastes in music, as revealed to Michael, are eclectic, ranging from a Bach cantata, a Schubert piano trio and operatic extracts by Mozart and Puccini to a duet from 'Bless the Bride', the waltz song from Lehar's 'The Merry Widow', and Percy Grainger's poignant setting of the sea shanty 'Shallow Brown'.


SUN 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00w5qq4)
Legrenzi - The Forgotten Venetian

The Venetian Giovanni Legrenzi was one of the musical stars of his day, performing and composing succesfully in virtually every musical genre of the 17th Century. His church sonatas were to be copied and studied by several illustrious successors including JS Bach, and Vivaldi and yet today, his legacy is forgotten. Lucie Skeaping explores the life and music of a composer who was to go on to influence not just Bach and Vivaldi, but also such masters as Handel, Scarlatti and Purcell.

Wagner's Siegfried idyll

Charles Hazlewood is joined by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra to reveal the musical and emotional depths behind two very different birthday serenades. Wagner composed his "Siegfried Idyll" as a surprise greeting for his wife Cosima which she heard wafting to her room from the stairs on her birthday. He based the work on themes from his latest opera. The young Peter Warlock's boyhood hero was the composer Frederick Delius, whose 60th birthday he marked with a short Serenade for strings, composed in pastiche style, but with his own personal twist.


SUN 18:30 Choir and Organ (b00w5qty)
Eric Whitacre, Elizabeth Poston

He's the choral world's very own rock star. With a global following, and the looks to match, Eric Whitacre is rapidly becoming the choir composer and conductor every group wants to work with. This week, Eric's in the studio with his 'half dozen', his pick of choirs he wouldn't live without. And with this year's Choir of the Year competition, Eric reveals what he'll be looking for as a member of the jury.

Also in the programme, Aled Jones explores the mysteries of choral composer Elizabeth Poston, known through one of the most famous Christmas pieces ever written, 'Jesus Christ the Apple Tree'. As a new disc of her work is released by the National Youth Choir of Scotland, Aled uncovers a hidden side of the composer. Thanks to research by the journalist Christopher Lambton there's now credible evidence that Poston was involved in covert communications with allied forces during the Second World War as part of her work at the BBC.

Migrant Mother

Migrant Mother by Michael Symmons Roberts

A lyrical drama inspired by the events which led to Dorothea Lange's iconic photograph of Florence Owens Thompson.

California 1936. Florence Owens Thompson and her family have joined the thousands of migrant workers flocking across America in search of work. Homeless, desperately hungry and faced with the threat of mob violence, her hopeful resolution is quickly fading.

Photographer Dorothea is following the migrants to their make-shift refugee camps, desperate to find the image which will capture the extent of their hardship, to bring about a change in American policy and hearts. A chance meeting with Florence could bring about the image she is looking for.

Although inspired by a true story, certain events and characters have been created or changed for dramatic effect.

"I first read a W.S.Graham poem in 1949. It sent a shiver down my spine. Forty-five years later nothing has changed. His song is unique and his work an inspiration." - Harold Pinter.

Born in Greenock in 1918, Graham lived most of his adult life in Cornwall. A "poet's poet" who was originally influenced by Dylan Thomas, his work was musical and technically brilliant. It was rooted in a sense of community and place. Yet it's through the vast, metaphorical "places" of his own creation - the glacial landscape of "Malcolm Mooney's Land" in particular - that he most brilliantly explores his theme of Language and gets inside the heads of his readers:

As well as introducing Graham's life and work, the reasons for his neglect and relative obscurity will be considered. The programme will refer especially to the poet's final collection, "Implements in Their Places", the culmination of Graham's talents. Presenter Henry will journey to the places that inspired Graham, and speak to the people who've been touched by his work.

Music and language are close cousins in this lyric poet's oeuvre, not least in his revered poem, Johann Joachim Quantz's Five Lessons in which Quantz, an eighteenth century virtuoso flautist, advises a student, Karl, "a lout from the canal / With big ears but an angel's tread on the flute." As Douglas Dunn says, this poem is "the closest we get to a manifesto on art-making.".


SUN 22:15 Words and Music (b00j15vn)
Sport

Elgar loved football, Debussy composed a tennis match, and Honegger wrote a musical game of rugby. Poet Laureates from William Wordsworth to Wole Soyinka and Gwyneth Lewis have all turned their pen to sporting passions. Sports crowds in return use music and song to raise their hopes and cheer on their flagging sporting heroes, from Sunderland FC, who come out to Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, to Liverpool FC's footballing anthem, 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.

Words and Music this week explores the world of sport. The original Greek Games had their origins in a poetic and musical tradition, and sport - the human endeavour, the triumphs and failures - continues to hold a fascination for writers and composers.

From the obvious sporting worlds of cricket and rugby to the more esoteric, like hang gliding and rock climbing, Ioan Meredith and Angela Wynter read poetry from Ian McMillan to Jean Binta Breeze, with music from Ives, Ravel and Holst, the New Zealand All Blacks and Liverpool FC's triumphant Kop.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00w5rft)
Ernest John Moeran (1894-1950)

Moeran's Ghost

"Old Raspberry", commonly known as Jack Moeran, was a pioneer in the collecting of British folk music. Greatly influenced by the music of Delius and Vaughan Williams, much of Moeran's output is inspired by nature, and was championed by the leading artists of the day. He was a great friend to Peter Warlock - both enjoyed travelling together to rural public inns to record the singing of the local inhabitants. Moeran and Warlock lived together for a period at Eynsford in Kent, where many tales of nudity, drunkenness and reckless driving originated.

Moeran's life, although spanning a short period of just over fifty years, is an interesting one. Tutored at the Royal College of Music by Sir Charles Villiers Stanford and John Ireland, his studies were interrupted by the First World War when Jack was posted to the Western Front. Due to an exploding shell, he sustained a head injury which affected him for the rest of his life. Alcohol also affected Moeran, although it was sometimes questionable as to whether it was the drink or his head injury which was making him stagger.

A love interest for Moeran, cellist Peers Coetmore, entered into the composer's life relatively late. Moeran composed a number of works for her including a sonata and concerto, but although Jack certainly gained much inspiration from their relationship, the marriage itself was not a success. Coetmore confessed to one friend that it was like being married to an uncle.

Moeran in the second part of his life spent much time at Kenmare in Ireland. The rural landscape there provided him with the solitude and inspiration he craved. It was at Kenmare on one stormy night, that Moeran fell off the pier into the mouth of Kenmare River. His body was pulled out the next day. Some speculated suicide, or drunkenness, but the inquest found that he'd had a stroke which had caused him to fall.

Throughout the week there will be archive recordings each day of E.J.Moeran in interview from 1947, discussing his life and music.

In the first programme exploring the life and music of E. J. Moeran, Donald Macleod looks at the composer's early years, including his tuition at the Royal College of Music, his earliest piano music from 1919, and his involvement in the First World War.

During the programme there is archive footage of Moeran in interview from 1947, discussing his early musical career.

MON 23:00 The Essay (b00n1p8k)
Robert Hooke

Hooke's Diary

For those of us who studied Physics at school, we may know the name of Robert Hooke from "Hooke's Law" - the theory of elasticity. However most people will probably be unaware of Robert Hooke's greater contribution to the development of science during the Enlightenment. To his contemporaries, he was the "ingenius Mr. Hooke". He developed the microscope, spring pocket watch, a marine barometer, the universal joint (which is still used in cars today), was an architect, astronomer and had done much of the work on gravitational theory before Sir Isaac Newton. Very much the man about town and at the centre of events, Professor Lisa Jardine examines Hooke's diary and the insight it gives us into the world of the Enlightenment scientists.

5 October 1675
'By water with Harry to Whitehall. Called first at Merchant Taylors hall. Walked into the Park with Sir Christopher Wren. The King called me to him, bid me shew him my experiment. Followed him through tennis court garden and into his closet. Shewed him the Experiment of Springs. He was very well pleased."

London Jazz Festival 2010

Adventures in Sound

Jez Nelson presents highlights of Adventures In Sound, an afternoon of free improvisation at the Southbank Centre recorded during the 2010 London Jazz Festival. Revisiting the spirit of a fascinating extended concert from a few years ago, and curated by Jazz on Three, this is definitely a case of "expect the unexpected". Dub-reggae transforms into squally electronics, with jazz and improv at its core, in the music of Zed-U, featuring Shabaka Hutchings on saxophone, Neil Charles on bass and electronics and Tom Skinner on drums. They'll be joined onstage by the likes of Matthew Bourne, an award winning pianist who always pushes the boundaries in unexpected directions, often with a healthy dose of wit and eccentricity. Plus a true legend of improvised music, bassist Barre Philips, an important link between the birth of Amercian free jazz in the 1960s and the European free improv scene. Other performers include reeds player Tony Bevan, drummer Tony Buck and pianist Howard Riley.

Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producer: Joby Waldman.

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00w5rq0)
Ernest John Moeran (1894-1950)

At Ease with the Locals

"Old Raspberry", commonly known as Jack Moeran, was a pioneer in the collecting of British folk music - as a composer he was greatly inspired by nature - and was involved in many tales of nudity, drunkenness and reckless driving that originated from his time living with Peter Warlock.

Donald Macleod follows Moeran's return from the Western Front in World War One, where he suffered a head injury from a shell explosion. He continued his education at The Royal College of Music under the tutelage of John Ireland, and dedicated his first orchestral Rhapsody to his teacher.

Also at this time Moeran took a great interest in folk music, and started to travel around counties such as Norfolk and Suffolk, recording local inhabitants singing their songs. One folk singer he encountered was Harry Cox, singing The Shooting of his Dear, which Moeran later arranged for voice and piano.

Moeran was very keen that the original words of folksongs were preserved, despite any coyness on the part of his audience. The grim and lurid tale of Mrs Dyer the Baby Farmer was certainly a subject he had no hesitation in setting for soloist, choir and piano.

Extracts of Moeran in interview from 1947 are included in the programme, where Jack discusses his interest in folk music, and the songs he heard and collected.

TUE 21:15 Night Waves (b00w5rqb)
Alex Ross, Climate Science, Of Gods and Men, Nannerl O Keohane

Rana Mitter talks to The New Yorker music critic Alex Ross, author of The Rest is Noise, an exploration of 20th Century music which became an acclaimed publishing hit in 2007. His new book Listen to This blurs the lines between classical, pop and jazz and ranges from Schubert and Verdi to Bjork and Radiohead. Ross explains why he thinks that the label "Classical Music" traps art in a theme park of the past.

Rana is also joined by the Director of the Science Museum, Chris Rapley, as it prepares to open a major new gallery dedicated to Climate Science, and also by the leading scientist Brian Hoskins, who advises the government on the issue. They'll be discussing if it is possible for leading scientific bodies like the Science Museum and the Royal Society to remain "neutral" on climate change.

Muriel Zagha reviews the film which won the Grand Prix at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Of Gods and Men tells the story of a group of Trappist monks in Algeria whose deaths in 1996 were shrouded in mystery.

Plus Rana discusses the leadership and democracies with Nannerl O. Keohane, author of a new book on the subject of leadership and political scientist David Runciman of Cambridge University.

Producer: Tim Prosser.

TUE 23:00 The Essay (b00n1qc4)
Robert Hooke

Hooke and the Royal Society

The Royal Society celebrates its 350th anniversay this year and in tonight's essay we hear how this week's Enlightenment figure, Robert Hooke was instrumental in its early success. Dr. Felicity Henderson, manager of the RS History of Science events looks through the archives to examine the exploits of the founder members and the Curator of Experiments, Robert Hooke. Their goal was straightforward: they wanted to collect as much information as possible about absolutely everthing (except 'God and the soul', which they decided to avoid from the outset). The Royal Society's motto, 'Nullius in Verba' loosely translates as 'take no-one's word for it'. Felicity sheds light on some of Hooke and his early fellows groundbreaking experiments in their quest to know everything.

WED 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00w67qz)
Ernest John Moeran (1894-1950)

'Old Raspberry' Goes off the Rails

"Old Raspberry", commonly known as Jack Moeran, was a pioneer in the collecting of British folk music - as a composer he was greatly inspired by nature - and was involved in many tales of nudity, drunkenness and reckless driving that originated from his time living with Peter Warlock.

Jack Moeran lived at Eynsford for a period with Peter Warlock, and many other highly eccentric characters such as Hal the Maori housekeeper, whose mother was supposedly a cannibal. Originating from Eynsford were many scandalous stories, including drunkenness and debauchery. It was with the help of Warlock in the nearby Five Bells pub, that Moeran composed the rousing drinking song Maltworms.

Donald Macleod surveys the other attendees of the shenanigans at Eynsford, including Arnold Bax, Constant Lambert, William Walton, Elizabeth Poston, and Augustus John. This programme includes an interview with Moeran from 1947, discussing his view of modern music.

Episode 3

3 December 1935 saw the debut of a new orchestra in Glasgow: the BBC Scottish Orchestra. This week, as the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, they celebrate their 75th birthday. Katie Derham celebrates in Afternoon on 3 with a selection of exciting new recordings and and archive highlights from the orchestra's history.

The week features recordings with most of the orchestra's Principal Conductors - from their founder Ian Whyte to Donald Runnicles, who's been in the post just over a year - and some of their most famous Assistant Conductors, including Simon Rattle! There's also Scottish music every day, and we visit all five cities where the orchestra perform regularly - Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Perth - as well as Munich and Vienna on their recent acclaimed tour of central Europe.

Today's programme features Andrew Manze's debut as Associate Guest Conductor of the BBC SSO . The concert starts with a brand-new bowl of sweet cherries from Sally Beamish to contrast with Brahms's Fourth Symphony - which, Brahms said, 'takes after the climate in these parts: the cherries don't grow ripe and sweet here!'

WED 23:00 The Essay (b00n1qjw)
Robert Hooke

Hooke's Ideas and Methods

Robert Hooke was one of the great experimental scientists of his day. He devised the first successful vacuum pump for Robert Boyle in 1659. This revolutionary piece of apparatus, which was a star turn at Royal Society experiment meetings, overturned Aristotle's 2000 year old dictum that 'nature abhors a vacuum'. His work with microscopes led to the publication of his best selling work, 'Micrographia'. A book so riveting that Samuel Pepys sat up until 2 in the morning reading his copy, calling it 'the most ingenious book that ever I read in my life'. Dr. Allan Chapman, from Wadham College, Oxford (Hooke's Alma Mater) charts the progress of Hooke's discoveries as one of the founding architects of modern science.

Ernest John Moeran (1894-1950)

Jack Reclaims His Irish Heritage

"Old Raspberry", commonly known as Jack Moeran, was a pioneer in the collecting of British folk music - as a composer he was greatly inspired by nature - and was involved in many tales of nudity, drunkenness and reckless driving that originated from his time living with Peter Warlock.

Many friends were convinced that Peter Warlock had led the thoroughly decent Jack Moeran astray. However, with Moeran leaving Eynsford and Warlock later taking his own life, Jack began to compose again and reappraise his work. At last, after many years, he finished his first symphony, which was premiered by the conductor Leslie Heward.

Moeran also started to take a much greater interest in Ireland, in particular Kenmare in County Kerry, where the local inhabitants were very fond of Jack, even feeling that he'd make a good Mayor. It was the surroundings of this Irish landscape and culture that greatly inspired his Violin Concerto, which often exhibits lyrical Irish folksong tendencies.

During this programme there is an extract of Moeran in interview from 1947, where he discusses his love for Ireland.

Presented by Jim Naughtie

Live from City Halls Glasgow

Driving rhythms and passionate lyricism combine to make Walton's First Symphony one of the greatest of British symphonic works. It's a piece that the BBC SSO has performed many times since the orchestra first broadcast on the 3rd December 1935. Nicola Benedetti's association with the orchestra goes back to her triumph in 2004's BBC Young Musician of the Year, and she is a welcome birthday guest in one of the greatest of all violin concertos. No celebration of the orchestra's first 75 years would be complete without new music by one of the brilliant young generation of Scottish composers and Helen Grime's new piece was specially commissioned for this concert.

Free Thinking 2010

Do Possessions Make Us Happy?

Presenter Rana Mitter joins a panel and an audience at Radio 3's Free Thinking festival to debate the question: Do Possessions Make Us Happy?

To many the answer seems obvious: Owning things makes millions of people happy, whether it's shoes, smart cars or new houses. So why do critics say that worldly goods are just a recipe for envy and disappointment? Environmentalists believe that we need to make sparer use of our earthly resources. Faith leaders think that we need to avoid excessive attachment to worldly goods. But can our society - even in hard times - ever overcome the undeniable pleasures of purchase and possession?

To argue over the merits of materialism are Sarah Dunant, international best-selling author of Renaissance thrillers; plastic surgeon Paul Baguley who carries out cosmetic surgery across the North East; psychotherapist Jan McGregor Hepburn, a specialist in guilt; and religious writer Sara Maitland, author of "The Book of Silence".

"The Pursuit of Happiness" is the central theme of this year's BBC Radio 3 Free Thinking 2010 (5-7 November) and this programme is recorded at The Sage Gateshead as part of the festival.

Robert Hooke

Hooke's Inventions

Series exploring the work of the scientific pioneer Robert Hooke.

Professor Lisa Jardine examines Hooke's inventions, explores how they were received at the time and how some are integral to the way we live now.

Hooke was at the forefront of invention in the 17th century. As he and his fellow scientists went about their quest to 'know everything', Hooke was continually inventing new ways with machinery, telescopes, microscopes, watches and medicine. Charles II took a great interest in many of his designs and some of his discoveries have lasted through the years and are critical to our lives today. His 'Hooke joint' which he developed for carriages is now used in a rear-wheel drive car to connect the drive shaft to the transmission.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00w6bnc)
Ernest John Moeran (1894-1950)

A Mysterious Death

"Old Raspberry", commonly known as Jack Moeran, was a pioneer in the collecting of British folk music - as a composer he was greatly inspired by nature - and was involved in many tales of nudity, drunkenness and reckless driving that originated from his time living with Peter Warlock.

Jack Moeran in the second half of his life, met the cellist Peers Coetmore. Donald Macleod follows their relationship, which eventually blossomed into marriage, but was not a huge success. On the eve of his wedding, Jack confessed to a friend that he thought the marriage would be a disaster. This relationship did however inspire Moeran to compose a number of works for Peers, including a Prelude, Sonata and his Cello Concerto.

Moeran started to become aware of his failing health in the last few years of his life. He was desperately trying to work on his second symphony, back in the setting of Kenmare which he loved so much, but found that he could not concentrate for sustained periods of time. On one stormy night, he fell from the pier into the Kenmare river. Although some presumed he was drunk, or with his increasing mental instability maybe he took his life, the inquest in fact found that he'd had a stroke.

This programme includes an interview of Moeran from 1947, discussing his wish to complete his second symphony back in Kenmare - a task he was never to fulfil.

Antonio Vivaldi's Nisi Dominus is for solo alto while Pergolesi's famous Stabat Mater is a duet for both. These are preceded by Handel's Concerto grosso from Op.6. All three composers had careers in secular music, especially opera, but the depth of their faith is evident in these heartfelt sacred works.

This week Ian's guests include Helen Dunmore, who reads a brand new commission written specially for the programme. Known as a novelist, poet and writer for children, Helen Dunmore has created a geeky futuristic romance for The Verb.

The distinguished poet Ruth Fainlight describes how it feels to have fifty years' worth of your writing collected in a single, weighty volume.

The Peruvian writer Santiago Roncagliolo describes writing fiction in the shadow of the Peruvian Nobel Laureate Mario Vargas Llosa. And, with the Columbian writer Oscar Guardiola-Rivera gives an insight into the changing literature of his homeland and Latin America more widely.

Finally, 100 years to the month after Virginia Woolf said that human character changed irrevocably in December 1910, her biographer Hermione Lee joins Ian to explain why.
