Don Fernando de las Infantas

Robert Hollingworth talks to musicologist Tess Knighton about the music of the 16th Century Spanish composer Don Fernando de las Infantas, with performances by the BBC Singers.
Born to a notable family in Córdoba in 1534, Fernando enjoyed a privileged education, and then spent 25 years living in Rome, voluntarily giving his services to a hospital for the poor. He was constantly involved in theological debate and frequently came into conflict with the church. Indeed, his 1601 Treaty on Predestination brought the charge of being an illuminist, if not a quietist, and the attention of the Spanish Inquisition. At the end of his life, overwhelmed by his theological enemies he was reduced to beggary and died in poverty.

SAT 21:15 The Wire (b00y6gbr)
Story of a Rude Gal

By Charlotte Thompson. A frank and uncompromising drama about a young woman in prison.

Tomorrow 23-year-old Ronia will have the most important conversation of her life - her parole hearing. Ronia has been serving an Imprisonment for Public Protection sentence ever since she was eighteen. With an IPP sentence there is no automatic release date: once a prisoner has served their full tariff, they still have to convince a parole board that they've changed. And that's what Ronia must do.

After five years, Ronia has long served her tariff, and is ready to persuade the parole board that she's no longer a danger to the public. As the night passes, Ronia takes us back to her younger self, having fun with her friend Tyson, hanging out on London streets, and trying to steer clear of violent girl gang, the Sykes Crew.

Charlotte Thompson was inspired to write this play through her work running writing programmes in prisons. The play itself though is fictional.

Older Ronia ..... Sophie Cosson
Younger Ronia ..... Holli Dempsey
Tyson ..... Zaraah Abrahams
Parole Judge ..... Marian Kemmer
Stepdad ..... Ben Crowe
Prison Officer ..... Lloyd Thomas

SUN 00:00 The Early Music Show (b00szcgx)
Opera Profiles

Opera Profile: Lully's Armide

Lucie Skeaping presents a profile of Lully's 17th Century operatic masterpiece "Armide" with French conductor Hugo Reyne highlighting some of its qualities and innovations.

Jean-Baptiste Lully almost single-handedly created French opera, and his Tragedie-Lyrique (tragic opera) "Armide" about a sorceress and her love for the valiant hero Renaud, was the culmination of a long and fruitful collaboration with librettist Philippe Quinault. "Armide" was instantly recognised as a masterpiece, remarkable not only for its attractive music, and affective dramatic architecture, as for its genius in setting the French language to music, and the psychological depths portrayed by its characters.

As part of the BBC year long celebration of opera, and the Early Music Show's monthly profile of important Baroque masterworks, Lucie Skeaping examines "Armide" with contributions from Lully champion and conductor Hugo Reyne. Key moments from the opera are performed from CD by Philippe Herreweghe and Collegium Vocale.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b00y6gg6)
Richard Mabey

Michael Berkeley's guest this week is Richard Mabey, who has been described as 'Britain's greatest living nature writer'. His first book, 'Food for Free', came out in 1972, and since then he has published a stream of acclaimed books including a biography of Gilbert White, which won the 1986 Whitbread Biography of the Year', the ground-breaking bestseller 'Flora Britannica' (1996), and his latest book 'Weeds' (2010). He contributes frequently to BBC radio, wrote and narrated the 1996 BBC TV series 'Postcards from the Country', and has made films for the BBC on Kew Gardens and the Yorkshire Dales. He is currently working on a book about Flora Thompson, author of 'Lark Rise to Candleford'.

His musical passions are wide-ranging, from a charming madrigal by John Dowland (which reminds him of his schooldays) and George Butterworth's poignant setting of Housman's 'Is my team ploughing?' to a modern setting of a First World War protest song, an improvisation by clarinettist David Rothenberg and two colleagues over the song of marsh warblers, 'The Quail' from Canteloube's 'Songs of the Auvergne', a male-voice choir from a Corsican hill-town singing a traditional song, and two contrasting pieces from Latin America, including one played by the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela.


SUN 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00y6gg8)
The Manuscript of Zeghere van Male

Catherine Bott reflects on the four Flemish songbooks of the 16th Century chronicler, Zeghere van Male and introduces performances of the music by Ensemble Clement Janequin.

The 'Songbooks of Zeghere van Male' are some of the most intriguing Western-European musical manuscripts. The four large part books contain over 1200 pages, each of which features one or more illuminated vignettes of extraordinary quality. The books feature over 200 different compositions, mainly songs, and give a fascinating overview of the kind of music that flourished in first half of the 16th century around Bruges, including French chanson, church masses and Latin motets. The songbook also includes some Italian madrigals and several Dutch polyphonic songs and instrumental works. The composers range from international figures such as Josquin, Mouton, Willaert, and Sermisy to lesser known regional figures such as De Hondt and Hellinck.

The books appeared in Bruges in 1542 and take their name from their owner, Zeghere van Male, a prominent tradesman in the city.


SUN 14:00 Radio 3 Requests (b00y6ggb)

SUN 17:00 Discovering Music (b00y6ggd)
Bruckner's Sixth Symphony

Stephen Johnson examines the workings of Bruckner's enigmatic 6th Symphony with the help of the BBC Philharmonic, conducted by Petri Sakari.

In Stephen Johnson's opinion, Bruckner's 6th Symphony is one of the composer's most original pieces and contains some of his most beautiful and arresting music. It appeared partly as a response to the devastating reviews that Bruckner received following the disastrous first performance of his 3rd Symphony.

Stephen takes Bruckner's symphony apart and compares it with music from the earlier symphony in order to illustrate the novelty and possible meaning of this "Cinderella" work in the composers' symphonic output. The BBC Philharmonic then give a complete performance of the 6th Symphony, recorded in the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham with conductor Petri Sakari - who has won much acclaim for his interpretation of Bruckner.


SUN 18:45 Choir and Organ (b00y6ggg)
Top Ten Choirs

When a list of the world's greatest choirs appeared in Gramophone magazine there was no shortage of controversy about who did, and did not, make the cut. Aled Jones picks his way through recordings by the top ten ensembles, and also takes a look at a rival list of no fewer than 1000 choirs. Plus, listeners share their own suggestions of groups who perhaps missed out.


SUN 20:00 Drama on 3 (b00y6ggj)
Massistonia

Colin Teevan's play is loosely based on his own ill-fated trip to Macedonia to direct a major theatre production. Jason has high hopes for his international version of 'Alcmaeon in Corinth'. He embarks on the project with little idea of the forces about to be unleashed against him.

Jason ..... Darren Boyd
Aleksandar ..... Nikola Kodjabashia
Castor/Mayor ..... Ewan Bailey
Dragan/Aco ..... Sasha C. Damjanovski
Kaliopi ..... Dolya Gavanski
Todor/Consul ..... Ivan Marevich
Dionysos .... Iain Batchelor
Afrodita .... Leah Brotherhead

Original music by Nikola Kodjabashia
Director: Toby Swift

*******************************
Colin Teevan's new play is a timely tale of Western hubris and Eastern European manipulation of the system. Inspired by Colin's own ill-fated trip to work with the National Theatre of Macedonia in 2008, 'Massistonia' follows an English director and his creative team as they try to mount an international touring production of 'Alcmaeon in Corinth'.

Colin Teevan is a prolific writer for theatre and radio. Former writer-in-residence at Queens University, Belfast, he has also been ScreenEast Writing Fellow at University of East Anglia and Literary Fellow to the Universities of Durham and Newcastle. His work is regularly performed all over the world, including in this country at the National Theatre, the Young Vic and West Yorkshire Playhouse. Colin has been a regular contributor to the Verb on BBC Radio 3. One of his plays for 'Drama on 3', the acclaimed 'How Many Miles to Basra', was subsequently re-worked for the stage, winning a Clarion Award in 2007.


SUN 21:30 Sunday Feature (b00y6ggl)
Endnotes: David Foster Wallace

When David Foster Wallace hanged himself in 2008, at the age of 46, he was considered by many to be the most gifted and linguistically exuberant American novelist and short story writer of his generation. His books include the 1,000-page Infinite Jest, a novel of grand ambition and stylistic experiment that came complete with 388 endnotes. (Footnotes, digressions, constant second guessing of every thought are features of Wallace's signature style).

In April The Pale King, Wallace's final, unfinished novel will be published. Few literary novels have been more eagerly anticipated in recent years. Its great subject is Boredom. Wallace set himself big challenges. Infinite Jest attacked the entertainment industry while trying to entertain and The Pale King engages with boredom as a path toward transcendence.

This Sunday Feature is presented by Professor Geoff Ward, author of a literary history of America. He, like many, was convinced Wallace would be the preeminent American writer to reckon with in the years ahead, and was shocked by his tragic early death. He assesses Wallace's legacy, themes and preoccupations, talking to the precursor Wallace admired most, Don DeLillo, and to friends, collaborators and contemporaries such as Mark Costello and Rick Moody. In the company of the writer's sister, Amy Wallace, Ward travels to the Midwest of America where the writer grew up, and considers the impact of place on his imagination. He also talks to Wallace's publisher and editor Michael Pietsch about the difficult task of assembling Wallace's final fragments into The Pale King.

The programme also contains some rare archive reflections by a young David Foster Wallace, recorded a year before the publication of Infinite Jest, on the role of the writer in an age of media saturation.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00y6hw9)
Giovanni Paisiello (1740-1816)

Episode 1

Donald Macleod introduces the life and music of the Italian composer whose comic operas were the toast of some of the greatest world leaders of the day.

Giovanni Paisiello was one of the most popular opera composers of his day, feted all over Europe, not least by the greatest world leaders of the day including Napoleon, Catherine the Great and Emperor Joseph II. And yet, other than a handful of operatic arias, he's virtually unknown today. Donald Macleod looks at the life and times of this prolific composer who produced nearly 100 operas and made a significant contribution to the development of opera.

Paisiello was an ambitious young man - although he was already making a name for himself around Italy, he was determined to win the hearts and minds of the Neapolitan court, one of the most flourishing centres of musical excellence in Europe at that time. In the first programme, Donald Macleod introduces excerpts from two of his comic operas - 'Don Chisciotte della Mancia', one of the first to find favour with the King of Naples, and 'La Frascatana', with which Paisiello launched his international career.


MON 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00y6hwc)

MON 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00y6hwk)
RLPO - Grieg, Rachmaninov, Sibelius

Presented by Martin Handley

The Russian Vasily Petrenko conducts Sibelius - and despite political tensions between Finland and Russia during Sibelius's lifetime, he still enjoyed Russian music, and there is a nod towards Tchaikovsky in his First Symphony. Rachmaninov's bittersweet Fourth Piano Concerto complements this, with the brilliant young pianist Simon Trpceski. And the programme opens with more music from Scandinavia: Grieg's first Peer Gynt suite, which contains some of the most memorable tunes ever written.

Grieg: Peer Gynt Suite No.1

MON 21:15 Night Waves (b00y6hwm)
Colin Thubron, Never Let Me Go, John Adams and Gardening, Christianity and the Novel

Rana Mitter talks to veteran travel writer Colin Thubron about his journeys in Tibet.

Rana also reviews the film of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go, set in a dystopian Britain where humans clone themselves to create back-ups for their body parts. It tells the story of two such clones as they are called upon to donate their organs and eventually die. Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day became a huge hit starring Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins. How will his new work fare with Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan in the lead roles? Sarah Dunant reviews.

Rana also talks to historian Andrea Wulf about the horticultural habits of the founding fathers of America. Far from a simple hobby their interest in nature became central to their vision of a young and blooming country. When John Adams, second president of the United States, was crashed into by a manure truck on the Edgware Road he was neither furious nor humiliated. Rather, he emerged from beneath the pile of ordure and beamingly declared it inferior to his own. Andrea Wulf explains what the green fingered passions of Adams, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington tell us about the richest country on earth.

Rana MItter joins Michael Arditti and Richard Coles to discuss Christianity and the novel. In the week that Graham Greene's Brighton Rock hits the cinemas, Michael Arditti's new novel is published. Set in Lourdes it examines a love affair between a devout and a lapsed Catholic. Michael is one of the few contemporary writers using the novel to explicitly examine what it is to have faith. The panel discusses the status of Christian ideas in the contemporary novel, the genealogy of such novels in English and the difficulties of encapsulating religious emotions in prose.

Producer: James Cook.

MON 23:00 The Essay (b00y6hwp)
Meanings of Mountains

Japan

The Meanings of Mountains is a series of essays that, following the sun's path from east to west travels from Japan to Peru, reveal the relationships that different peoples have with their mountains. In the first the writer and artist Stephen Gill, who has lived and worked for many years in Japan, delves into the complex feelings that people there have not for their most famous mountain, Fuji, but the one that perhaps is even more important to them - Mount Ogura.

Mt. Ogura is Japan's 'poets' mountain', featuring in centuries of literature, in the works of Teika, Saigyo and Basho. The mountain is only 1,000 feet high, but it rises very steeply, with a gorge snaking round two of its sides, and it has attracted courtiers, priests and poets to its slopes in such numbers that Japan's most famous poetry collection, Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each) bears its name.

Yet, on its northern flank it has an enormous illegal rubbish-tip. When its secret was exposed a few years ago it caused national consternation. Work is going on now to clear the dump and over the past few years tons and tons of rubbish has been collected, as have hundreds of short poems about the famous mountain. These unite classical images of autumn leaves, summer wind and frogs singing with car batteries, empty bottles and broken fridges.


MON 23:15 Jazz on 3 (b00y6hwr)
Schlippenbach Trio 40th Anniversary Concert

Jez Nelson presents a concert by the Alexander von Schlippenbach Trio. Now in their fortieth year, the Schlippenbach trio is one of the most enduring and respected ensembles in free improvising. Founder of the influential Globe Unity Orchestra during the sixties, pianist Schlippenbach is a key figure in the pioneering post war generation of German jazz musicians. In this trio with percussionist Paul Lovens and British saxophonist Evan Parker, he has released a series of important albums throughout his career, including Pakistani Pomade (1972) and Elf Bagatellen (1989). This fortieth anniversary concert recorded at London's Vortex club reveals the trio's recent engagement with Thelonious Monk's music.

Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producer: Russell Finch.

Giovanni Paisiello (1740-1816)

Episode 2

When Catherine the Great invited Paisiello to become musical director of her court in St Petersburg he must have jumped at the chance. It was his first official appointment and with it came both security and prestige. Paisiello quickly became a favourite of the court, thanks to the steady stream of comic operas he produced there. Donald Macleod introduces two of them: 'I filosofi immaginari' - a great favourite of Catherine's, and 'La serva padrona', which recycled the libretto famously set by Pergolesi 50 years earlier.


TUE 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00y6kq8)
Pavel Haas Quartet

Episode 1

The Pavel Haas Quartet are named after a young Czech composer who was interned by the Nazis in the the infamous "Theresienstadt" concentration camp. The Pavel Haas Quartet took part in the BBC's New Generation Artist Scheme and are now based in Prague, from where they are much in demand worldwide, and they have built a reputation for the highest level of quartet playing.

Last November the quartet played four concerts at LSO St. Luke's in London, and this, the first of them pairs two works by their countryman Dvorak - the best known of his quartets - the "American" and the string quintet - also written on that same American trip.

In the String Quintet, the additional viola is Krzystof Chorzelski who is the viola player with the Belcea Quartet.

The quartet members are: violinists Veronika Jaruskova & Eva Karova, viola player Pavel Nikl and cellist Krzystof Jarusek

The performances are presented by Penny Gore

TUE 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00y6kqg)
CBSO - Turnage, Mahler

Presented by Martin Handley

Gustav Mahler knew that no great composer wrote more than nine symphonies. And, struggling with heart disease, stricken by the loss of a child and tormented by love for his fickle young wife, the last thing he wanted to do was to tempt fate. But in his final completed symphony, he took everything the world had thrown at him, and distilled it into some of the most beautiful music of the twentieth century. The result is one of the defining works of its time. Eight decades later, the British composer Mark Anthony Turnage faced a tragedy himself, and his cello concerto Kai, a heartfelt elegy to a friend who died young, is a fitting complement to Mahler's vision.

Norman Foster, David Chipperfield

In a special edition of Night Waves Philip Dodd talks to two of Britain's leading Architects.

Norman Foster is among a handful of international architects whose buildings are found all over the world. His signature glass and steel constructions such as the Gherkin in London have become statement buildings for global institutions, for cities, business and political regimes, even if they haven't always impressed the critics.

Like Lord Foster, for whom he once worked, David Chipperfield is a member of the global architectural elite. He is the recipient of this years RIBA's Royal Gold Medal, given in recognition of a lifetime's contribution to architecture. To complement last years extraordinary fusion of new and old in Berlin's Neues Museum, Chipperfield is about to unveil two buildings in this country - the Hepworth Wakefield Sculpture Museum and the Turner Contemporary Gallery in Margate.

Philip Dodd talks to both men about their individual styles, the status of architecture and the various buildings that bear their name.

TUE 23:00 The Essay (b00y6kql)
Meanings of Mountains

China

The Meanings of Mountains is a series of essays that, following the sun's path from east to west travels from Japan to Peru, reveal the relationships that different peoples have with their mountains. In the second essay Howard Zhang of the BBC's Chinese Service, considers the way that mountains in China have been sacred to Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism - sometimes the same mountain revered by devotees of all three. Certain mountains are places of pilgrimage, the Chinese word for which literally means 'paying respect to the mountain', and many monasteries and shrines are hidden away in the hills.

Howard explains the attraction of mountains, throughout Chinese history, to poets and artists - an attraction so deep that landscape paintings are known simply as mountain and river pictures - and intellectuals, who have been drawn from the complex life of the city to a simple, quiet life in the mountains.

But many Chinese are newly rich, able at last and eager, to travel. The holy mountains are becoming places of mass tourism. Howard Zhang contemplates this dilemma and considers the meanings of mountains to the Chinese today.

Producer: Julian May.

BBC SSO - Bach, Bruckner

Presented by Martin Handley

The devotional quality of Bruckner's symphonies has led some to see them as 'cathedrals in sound'. But that's only half the story. At least as important as their unique atmosphere of spiritual exaltation is their sense of a dramatic struggle to overcome the pain and frustration of life. Bruckner's Fifth Symphony is one of his most complex works - a huge edifice that poses a real challenge to both orchestra and conductor. Violinist Daniel Hope, one of today's most extraordinary, multi-faceted artists, prefaces this monumental symphony with the intimacy of a concerto by JS Bach.

Bach: Violin Concerto in A minor, BWV1041
Bruckner: Symphony No.5

WED 23:00 The Essay (b00y6lqy)
Meanings of Mountains

Slovenia

Moving westwards from Japan and China, this week's essays about the relationships different peoples have with their mountains reaches Europe, and Slovenia. Matej Zatonjsek, the Cultural Attache at the Slovenian Embassy in London, explains how his people are a nation of mountaineers, with three-quarters of the population climbing in the Julian Alps every year. Endowing mountains with Slovenian names was an expression of independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and a commitment to the language. The country's national myth is centred on Triglav, the country's highest peak and climbing this for Slovenians is akin to making the pilgrimage to Mecca for muslims, a sacred duty and an assertion of identity.

Producer: Julian May.

Giovanni Paisiello (1740-1816)

Episode 4

In 1784, after eight years in Russia, Paisiello was at long last offered an appointment back in Naples, as court composer of dramatic music. On his way back home, Paisiello stopped off in Vienna, where he composed the opera 'Il re Teodoro a Venezia' for another great supporter of his, Emperor Joseph II. Donald introduces the overture from this popular work, an excerpt from 'I giuochi d'Agrigento', written for the inauguration of La Fenice Opera House in Venice, part of an opera to celebrate a major dynastic wedding - 'La Daunia felice', and, by way of stark contrast, the pared-down beauty of Paisiello's sacred work 'Christus', written for Holy Week in 1794.

In the third of the four concerts recorded last November by the Pavel Haas Quartet at LSO St. Luke's in London, the quartet chose two Twentieth Century Quartets from France - in the days of LPs these were a natural pairing - not so common on the concert stage - the quartets by Debussy and Ravel.

Schubert Trios

Presented by Martin Handley

To celebrate Schubert's 214th birthday, a trio of today's most eminent chamber musicians performs an all-Schubert programme, opening with one of the composer's greatest masterpieces. Piano Trio No. 1 has a carefree, untroubled character, evident through its bright stream of spontaneous melodies and overriding sense of energy and vitality. Schubert's Second Piano Trio has a more turbulent, darker side, but the composer himself reputedly considered it to be the better work.

THU 23:00 The Essay (b00y6lt8)
Meanings of Mountains

Scotland

In the fourth of this week's essays about the relationship different peoples have with their mountains, following the path of the sun from east to west, we reach Scotland. Kenneth Steven's father was a lifelong climber, who reached the summit of his last 'Monroe' (Scottish mountains more than 3,000 high) when he was 89. But as a boy of eight or nine Kenneth was dragged up hills at every opportunity and resented these exhausting, thirsty excursions. He rather shared the view of the crofters that the hills were just there and to climb them without having to was puzzling. It was only when he left Perthshire for university in Glasgow that he missed their presence and began to share the love that writers such as the great Gaelic poet Sorley MacLean and Norman MacCaig expressed in their work. He returned to the highlands and ventured, now voluntarily, into the hills. But he is not concerned with conquering them; it is in the journey up and what he finds along the way that the mountains reveal their many meanings.

Producer: Julian May.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00y6lv1)
Giovanni Paisiello (1740-1816)

Episode 5

Paisiello's final years took place against a backdrop of political turmoil. Around the turn of the century, his home town of Naples was twice invaded by the French. Paisiello opted to remain behind and work for the new republican state. When the King of Naples was restored to the throne the second time, he turned his back on Paisiello, leaving him in a state of poverty and disgrace for the remaining months of his life. Donald introduces music from Paisiello's final years, including the overture to 'Proserpina', dedicated to his friend and supporter, Napoleon Bonaparte, an excerpt from his penultimate stage work 'Il passaggio de Monte San Bernardo' composed to honour Napoleon's brother Joseph, and part of the Mass for the Dead dedicated to members of the Neapolitan royal family.


FRI 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00y6lz9)
Pavel Haas Quartet

Episode 4

The Pavel Haas Quartet are named after a young Czech composer who was interned by the Nazis in the the infamous "Theresienstadt" concentration camp. The Pavel Haas Quartet took part in the BBC's New Generation Artist Scheme and are now based in Prague, from where they are much in demand worldwide, and they have built a reputation for the highest level of quartet playing.

In the last concert recorded last November by the Pavel Haas Quartet at LSO St. Luke's in London, the quartet chose two works by Schubert, his Quartet movement in C minor (D.703) and his perennial favourite, the quartet in D minor (D.810) "Death and the Maiden" - so called because the variations movement is based on an earlier song by Schubert of that name - both works of great intensity and played with intensity by the Pavel Haas Quartet

The quartet members are: violinists Veronika Jaruskova & Eva Karova, viola player Pavel Nikl and cellist Krzystof Jarusek

The performances are presented by Penny Gore.

Schubert:
Quartettsatz in C minor (D.703)
String Quartet in D minor (D.810) "Death and the Maiden".

Britten Sinfonia - Tippett, Purcell, Finzi, Walton

Presented by Martin Handley

The celebrated tenor and regular Britten Sinfonia collaborator Mark Padmore performs with the orchestra in a selection of English works for voice and strings.

The centrepiece of the concert is Gerald Finzi's Dies natalis. Modelled on Bach's cantatas it contains a spirit and sweetness that reflects the joy and wonder of a child's innocent perspective of the world. Padmore also sings Purcell songs as realised by Tippett, and we also hear Tippett's baroque-inspired Little Music for string orchestra. Walton's virtuosic and passionate Sonata for Strings provides a thrilling climax to this journey through English music.

FRI 23:00 The Essay (b00y6n24)
Meanings of Mountains

Peru

The Meanings of Mountains series which this week, following the sun, has reflected the relationships of peoples from Japan, China, Slovenia and Scotland with their mountains now concludes in Peru. Javier Lizarzaburu, a journalist living in Lima, considers how the shrine at Pariacaca, the mountain home of an important Inca oracle, was suppressed by Jesuits 400 years ago, with the destruction of thousands of images and the exile of its priests.
He considers how the mountain, which has two peaks, embodied the duality of the Andean world view, and its centrality to the Inca creation story. He shows how this story did not disappear but absorbed the new religion, and how, although suppressed, the cult of Pariacaca survives. Javier recalls a friend whose grandmother told him that, rather than the old man sitting in the room, the mountain outside was really his grandfather. Peruvians revere mountains, yet have close, familial relationships with them, and Pariacaca is a mountain with many meanings.

Producer: Julian May.


FRI 23:15 World on 3 (b00y6n26)
