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 Matters (b010ggxl)
Musical Boston

Tom Service travels to Boston, Massachusetts, to discover the music making in one of the United States' leading musical centres. He talks to clarinettist Richard Stoltzman who has made his life in the city and who revels in memories of playing clarinet with his father, rediscovering with Tom his very first clarinet after many years.

There's the latest on how Boston is at the centre of the El Sistema projects being run across the US. Based on the models of music education used in Venezuela, and now copied across the world, to help impoverished children get a better education, Tom visits a school in the Boston suburbs and discovers how some of the city's children's lives are being changed.

Boston has long been an important centre for composition, performance and music education, and a leading place for instrument makers. It's the home to some of the oldest musical establishments in the United States, including the Handel and Haydn Society - the country's oldest continuously performing arts organization. Tom meets members of the Society at the Harvard Musical Association on Beacon Hill in Boston, together with the music director of Boston Camerata Joel Cohen, and instrument maker Ingeborg Von Huene. In a wide ranging discussion they consider the importance of the early music revival in the city, how American music making differs from that in Europe, and how the country's politics will shape the musical future.

Producer: Jeremy Evans.

Gnawa and World Music Festival 2009

Episode 2

Lucy Duran presents more highlights from the 2009 Gnawa and World Music Festival in Essaouira on Morocco's Atlantic coast, an annual free festival which celebrates the ancient tradition of trance music. With performances by Braim El Belkani, a gnawa master who once played with Led Zeppelin, and Morocco's most celebrated band, the veterans Nass El Ghiwane.

Essaouira is an old stone town that is home to an even older style of music which arrived in Morocco centuries ago with the slaves who came from across the Sahara. It's a sacred music which is traditionally heard at all-night 'lilas', where animal sacrifices are made, people are healed from spiritual and physical ailments, and, it is said, a good time is had by all. The sound of the music is characterised by the bass thump of the three-stringed 'gimbri' and the strident clatter of metal castanets. The Gnawa and World Music Festival was established twelve years ago to celebrate the gnawa tradition, with concerts featuring gnawa masters from all over Morocco, together with events where gnawa musicians collaborate with artists from across the globe.

Richard Strauss's Capriccio

Richard Strauss's Capriccio
Live from the Metropolitan Opera
Presented by Margaret Juntwait with guest commentator Ira Siff.

In Strauss's last opera, a poet and a musician vie for the attentions of a young widowed countess. It opens with a string sextet prelude, the work of the hopeful young composer, Flamand. The poet Olivier is preparing a new play for the Countess's birthday celebrations, and the two love rivals argue on a sensitive subject: which is of primary importance artistically - words or music? The Countess finds it impossible to choose between her two suitors. In one of Strauss's most intimate operas, he explores the nature of his own art.

SAT 20:45 Between the Ears (b010m03t)
The Chekhov Challenge: The Sound of a Breaking String

One of the most enigmatic stage directions in all drama appears in Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard:

'A distant sound is heard. It appears to come from the sky and is the sound of a breaking string. It dies away sadly.'

Between the Ears focuses on the many attempts to produce this sound, ranging from musical saws to gun-shots. Guests include Paul Arditti, who mixed industrial, musical and bird sounds for the production by Sam Mendes, and musician Leafcutter John, who accepts Radio 3's own Chekhov Challenge, recording his experiments to find a resonant breaking string sound for the 21st century.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b010gl8w)
Eric Knowles

Eric Knowles is well known to antiques lovers as a ceramics expert on BBC TV's 'The Antiques Roadshow'. He has also appeared on many other TV antiques programmes, including 'The Great Antiques Hunt', 'The Antique Inspectors' and 'You Can't Take it With You'.

Eric worked for a firm of antiques shippers before joining Bonham's, the London auction house, in 1976. In 1981 he became head of the ceramics department there, and is a leading authority on 17th - 20th-century European and Oriental ceramics, 19th-and 20th-century decorative arts, and the glass of Tiffany and Lalique. Since 2009 he has worked independently of Bonhams. As well as his many TV and radio appearances, he has lectured extensively and written books on Victoriana, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Royal Memorabilia. Royal Doulton have produced an Eric Knowles character jug. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

His Private Passions begin with a Bach Brandenburg Concerto, which is contemporaneous with the foundation of the famous Meissen porcelain factory at Dresden. Two other of his musical choices are related to his work - Borodin's 'In the Steppes of Central Asia' brings to his mind the camel trains bringing precious Chinese porcelain to Europe, and Debussy's liquid Arabesque No.1 evokes the sinuous forms of Lalique glass. Eric Knowles brought along a 17th-century Chinese bowl and a piece of Lalique glass, which can be seen on the BBC website, from his own collection to illustrate the similarities. His other choices include a movement of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezade, a piece he loved as a boy, and an extract from Prokofiev's 'Lieutenant Kije' in an arrangement for brass band, which reminds him of his Northern roots.


SUN 13:00 The Early Music Show (b010gl9v)
Handel's Easter Oratorio

Lucie Skeaping examines the background and music to Handel's moving 'Easter Oratorio' - La Resurrezione - which he wrote in his early twenties during his formative years in Rome.

Composed for Easter Day 1708, for a gala performance at the opulent Ruspoli Palace, featuring the finest musicians to hand, including an orchestra led by Archangelo Corelli, La Resurrezione (The Resurrection) is a dramatic recollection of events following Christ's crucifixion. In recent years Handel's "Easter Oratorio" as it's sometimes referred to, has attracted renewed interest and spawned several recordings.

Lucie relates the background and story of this youthful Handelian masterpiece, and illustrates the programme with a cross-section of performances taken from CD.


SUN 14:00 Radio 3 Requests (b010glcs)

SUN 18:30 Choir and Organ (b010glpb)
Young People Singing

Aled Jones looks at some of the innovative ways in which young people are being encouraged to join choirs, with Paul Hedley from the "Three Choirs Festival" and Kathryn Knight from "Sing Up". Since its formation in 2007, the success of the singing initiative "Sing Up" has resulted in a further year's funding from the government with the aim of helping it develop on a self sustainable basis.

The TCF Youth Choir was introduced last year by the Three Choirs' Artistic Director, Adrian Partington with the aim of giving young singers the chance to get together to sing traditional choral music to a high standard, without the commitment needed for an adult choir. It seems to have hit the right note, bringing together members from the cathedral's existing youth choir, former choristers from the Three Choirs cathedrals and other young singers located in the areas between Bristol and Birmingham.

Music includes an excerpt from Beethoven's Mass in C, an unusual Shakespeare setting by Berlioz and a selection of music written with Easter in mind.


SUN 20:00 Drama on 3 (b010glpd)
Kafka the Musical

Another chance to hear the magnetic performance that won David Tennant "Best Actor" at this year's inaugural BBC Audio Drama Awards for his part as Franz Kafka.

Murray Gold's new play starts from the suitably Kafkaesque premise that Franz Kafka finds he has to play himself in a musical about his own life. The play - or is it the musical? - introduces Kafka and the audience to some of the key characters in his life, Milena Jesenska, Dora Diamant and Felice Bauer.

Franz Kafka ..... David Tennant
Father ..... David Fleeshman
Mother ..... Joanna Monro
Milena ..... Naomi Frederick
Felice ..... Jessica Raine
Dora ..... Emerald O'Hanrahan
Barman / Singer / Doctor ..... Trevor Allan Davies
Newspaper Seller / Man ..... Brian Bowles

Music by Murray Gold
Directed by Jeremy Mortimer

Murray Gold's first radio play Electricity won the Richard Imison award for best new play after its broadcast on Radio 3 in 2001. It subsequently transferred to the West Yorkshire Playhouse in 2004 and was performed with Christopher Eccleston in the lead role. Other plays include 50 Revolutions performed by the Oxford Stage Company at the Whitehall Theatre, London in 2000 and Resolution at Battersea Arts Centre in 1994, and Little Joe and His Struggle Against the World (Radio 3 2005). Murray Gold has been nominated for a BAFTA four times in the category Best Original Television Music, for Vanity Fair (1999), Queer as Folk (2000), Casanova (2006) and Doctor Who (2008). He wrote the theme tune for the Channel 4 series Shameless and scored the period drama The Devil's Whore. More recently Murray Gold scored another David Tennant series, BBC1's Single Father.


SUN 21:30 Sunday Feature (b010glvp)
The American Civil War

Dividing Lines

This month marks a hundred and fifty years since the United States divided against themselves, and America plunged into a four-year bloodbath.

But in 2011, is the Civil War just settled, dusty history?

Historian Adam Smith visits contemporary America to trace how the dividing lines of the War are still visible beneath US politics 150 years on, in the era of Obama.

He visits the Old Capitol Building in Springfield, Illinois, where Obama launched his Presidential campaign in the shadow of Abraham Lincoln.

In Virginia, he discovers how the disputes of the Civil War still stir amongst statues and school textbooks, fresh Confederate headstones and debates on states' rights.

We witness 'Neo-Confederates' from across the South come together to re-enact the inauguration of the Confederate President, Jefferson Davis - and hear how they see the battles of the Civil War very much alive today in the struggle between Obama's federal government and the ever-more assertive individual states.

In the Washington theatre where Lincoln was shot, Lincoln scholar Allen Guelzo reflects on the rising antagonism in American politics today, with talk of nullification, secession and states' rights, tyranny and treason.

And Adam visits a museum which painfully embodies the difficulty America still has in coming to terms with the conflict.


SUN 22:15 Words and Music (b010glvr)
Law and Order

Andrew Buchan (Garrow's Law) and Josette Simon OBE (Casualty, Silent Witness) read poetry and prose about Law and Order. Following the model used by a popular American TV series of the same name, they begin by focusing on crime itself with T.S.Eliot's mischievous cat Macavity and extracts from "Crime and Punishment" and PD James, followed by the appearance of the police - both the uniformed variety and the private detective. Then they are in court with Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mocking Bird" (Harper Lee) and Shakespeare's Portia from "The Merchant of Venice". Finally sentence is carried out and the notorious highwayman Dick Turpin is hanged and Oscar Wilde is in Reading Gaol writing his famous ballad. Other writers featured include Seamus Heaney, Arthur Conan Doyle, Roger McGough, Carol Ann Duffy and Alfred Noyes.The texts are interwoven with music by Janacek, Britten, Gilbert and Sullivan, Prokofiev and Henry Mancini.


SUN 23:30 Jazz Line-Up (b010glvt)
Southbound are Jack Davies (trumpet), Rob Cope (tenor saxophone), Tom Taylor (piano) and Jon Ormston (drums), four musicians who combine classical subtleties with the creative energy of contemporary jazz.
Sharing a love of the eclectic sound world of Iain Ballamy, as well as the exquisite lyricism of Paul Bley, this bassless quartet are continually surprising - at one moment unboundedly explorative, and the next powerfully grounded.
This week Jazz Line-Up previews the Cheltenham Jazz Festival with the festivals artistic director , Tony Dudley Evans. The festival runs as usual over the Bank Holiday weekend from April 27th to May 2nd and Tony will give his take on this years fest and his pick of the festival that could include, Cleo Laine, Andy Shepherd, Dave Holland or Django Bates, could be none on them, tune in to find out.

Monday - Rob Cowan

Rob Cowan presents Breakfast and talks to special Comedy Classics guest - Simon Jones. With an impressive list of theatre credits to his name, Simon Jones is probably best known for playing the role of Arthur Dent in both the Radio and original TV series of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a role which he reprieved for a later series on Radio 4 - Life, The Universe and Everything - in 2004. It is said that the author Douglas Adams wrote the part with Jones in mind. He also appeared in Blackadder and as "Bridey" in the 1980s TV dramatisation of Brideshead Revisited. He has several films under his belt and, more recently, he has become a theatre director and has done extensive work in the field of audio book narrating. He will be talking to Rob Cowan about how he enjoys listening to classical music and choosing his five favourite pieces.

Artist of the Week

Fresh from winning a 2011 Grammy for her recording of Mozart Piano Concertos, Mitsuko Uchida's developing relationship with those works is explored today on Classical Collection with a performance of the Piano Concerto in D, K537, nicknamed the Coronation. Indeed it was as a Mozart player of uncommon finesse and sensibility that Mitsuko Uchida first made her mark. "Uchida is, simply, Uchida - an elegant, deeply musical interpreter who strikes an inspired balance of head and heart in everything she plays" (Chicago Tribune). This recording is part of her inspired complete Mozart Piano Concerto cycle recorded with Jeffery Tate in the early 1990s.

MON 19:00 Performance on 3 (b010gn2r)
London Philharmonic - Mahler, Shostakovich, Webern, Beethoven

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Although today Mahler is best remembered as a composer, in his lifetime he was better known as a conductor, and it's in this context that he made versions of works by earlier composers - works that he could perform in his concerts. His arrangement of movements from Bach's 2nd and 3rd orchestral suites and Beethoven's F minor quartet are unaffected by modern day notions of period performance - as tonight's conductor Vladimir Jurowski says "it's as though we're listening to the world through the ears of Mahler". Shostakovich's dark 2nd Violin Concerto performed by young Dutch violinist Janine Jansen and Webern's crystalline 5 movements complete the programme.

Mahler - Suite from the Orchestral Works of JS Bach
Shostakovich - Violin Concerto No.2
Webern - Five Movements, Op.5
Beethoven - String Quartet in F minor, Op.95 (arranged for string orchestra by Mahler)

Janine Jansen (violin)
London Philharmonic Orchestra
Vladimir Jurowski conductor.


MON 21:15 Night Waves (b010gn2t)
The North Sea

The North Sea is the bloodline and boundary of North East England. From fishing to shipbuilding to wind farms, it has been crucial to the region's economy. But how has this dark, turbulent mass of water influenced the people on its shores? Should we look to Holland and Scandinavia for insights into the culture of the
coastal North East, its Geordie dialect and its songs? Sounding the depths of the North Sea to find the soul of the North East with presenter Matthew Sweet are painter Len Tabner, historian Bill Lancaster of Northumbria University, sailor and broadcaster Tom Cuncliffe and Pam Graves, archaeologist at Durham University.

This programme was recorded at the 2010 Free Thinking Festival held at the Sage in Gateshead.

Producer: Victoria Shepherd.

MON 23:00 The Essay (b010gn4y)
The Essay: The Father Instinct

Lou Stein

Writer/director Lou Stein sets out on a quest to understand the connections between fatherhood and creativity. He draws on Greek father-archetypes to gain insight and understanding into today's shifting fatherly landscape.

"If, in my own life so far, I have a bit of the wanderlust of Odysseus, and the rebellious nature of the father-hungry Achilles, it is Hector's ideals which I most aspire to."

There is little doubt that the act of consciously choosing to become a father (as opposed to fathering a child) is a critical choice for any man. But artists who choose to take on the responsibilities of fatherhood have their creative inventions enhanced and challenged in a very specific way. Does the fact of taking on the challenges of fatherhood in the 21st century diminish their creative output in some way by dividing the creativity needed to be a father and needed to be an artist? Or does having a child nourish and advance the artist's creative march forward in an ever-changing world, where the rules of engagement are accelerated in a consumer-lead, technologically driven context.

In the first essay of the series, Lou Stein looks at the historical notions of fatherhood in Western culture, and in particular the shifting expectations of what it means to be a father. Drawing on a number of Greek archetypes of fatherhood, he offers a view of the ancient and contemporary expectations of the father which can help us understand the fatherly landscape we live in today.


MON 23:15 Jazz on 3 (b010gn50)
Mike Westbrook 75th Birthday Concert

Jez Nelson presents the 75th birthday concert of distinguished British bandleader and composer Mike Westbrook. Since the early 1960s, Westbrook has been prolific as a bandleader, jazz pianist and composer whose music is characteristically bold and presented in unusual formats. He has been commissioned by numerous international big bands and with his wife, the singer/librettist Kate Westbrook, has written a number of cabaret and music-theatre pieces, alongside music for classical ensembles and smaller jazz groups.

This concert features various line-ups drawn from a group of players associated with Westbrook over the years, including Chris Biscoe, Steve Berry and Kate Westbrook. It features the premiere of a new work, The Serpent Hit for voice and saxophone quartet.

Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producer: Russell Finch.

TUE 23:00 The Essay (b010gnh4)
The Essay: The Father Instinct

John Keane

Lou Stein's investigation into the connections between fatherhood and creativity continues with Gulf War Artist John Keane's look at how his children have influenced how he sees his art and his role as a father. His paintings reflect on the the dire poverty and hopelessness which can flourish in third world countries in conflict. Although the nature of his interests means that he is constantly travelling to politically explosive parts of the world, fatherhood has helped him maintain an emotional balance in his life.

"It was not until my daughter was eleven and my son six that an idea emerged for a painting that blended with the theme of my work at that time, and flowed naturally into the series that I was putting together for an exhibition entitled Intelligent Design. I had become fascinated with the images of the outer reaches of the universe transmitted to us from the orbiting Hubble telescope. The sheer wonder of the vastness of what is out there defies comprehension but inspires awe. And what we see there is what we are. Stardust. Coalesced somehow into an intelligent life form, and circumscribed by love and cruelty. Against this I had also a photograph of my two children, holding hands, standing on a Suffolk beach in front of the ocean and gazing out to the horizon, their backs toward me. The idea occurred to me of substituting the object of their gaze, the chilly greys of the North Sea, for the rich hues of outer space, and this charged the image with a resonance invoking both the micro- and macrocosmic, but more than anything else it just reminded me of that old logo from my own childhood of Start-rite shoes - and this resonance was perfect."

Notes:
JOHN KEANE Gulf War artist John Keane was born in Hertfordshire in 1954 and attended Camberwell School of Art. His work has focused on many of the pressing political questions of our age, and he came to national prominence in 1991 when he was appointed as official British War Artist during the Gulf War. His subject matter has subsequently addressed difficult topics in relation to religiously inspired terrorism such as Guantanamo Bay, the Moscow theatre siege and homegrown violence against civilians. Most recently, he has also become known for the portraits of Mo Mowlam, Jon Snow and Kofi Annan.

In the final countdown to the Royal Wedding, we play a royal tribute of our own: Purcell's Come, Ye Sons of Art. As one of the king's favourite composers, Purcell was commissioned to write odes for the birthday of Queen Mary II. This work, written in 1694, is the last birthday ode he wrote; by the end of 1695, both he and Queen Mary had passed away. It's a piece with a particular gravitas, a quality that shines out in this recording from The Choir of King's College Cambridge directed by Stephen Cleobury.

Philip Dodd talks to novelist Edward St Aubyn, author of the Booker nominated Mother's Milk.

St Aubyn's semi-autobiographical books centre on the saga of the Melroses, a family suffocated by the presence of a sadistic father and a disillusioned mother. His alter ego, Patrick Melrose, has just come to the end of his fictional journey with the publication of the final chapter in the series, At Last.

As the RSC opens its new theatre in Stratford, Philip is joined by Night Waves’ regular critic Susannah Clapp to review its inaugural show - Macbeth, directed by Michael Boyd.

Journalist John Lloyd joins Philip to review Christian Carion's spy thriller Farewell, based on the true story of the KGB double-agent Vladimir Vetrov.

And why are the British so obsessed with the sex lives of celebrities? Following the latest news about super injunctions, columnist Deborah Orr, publicist Max Clifford and journalist Roy Greenslade discuss the issue.

WED 23:00 The Essay (b010gnnq)
The Essay: The Father Instinct

Abdulrazak Gurnah

Lou Stein's investigation into the connections between fatherhood and creativity continues with Booker nominated author Abdulrazak Gurnah's emotional return to Zanzibar to see his elderly father. By making contact with him and his native land after a long period of absence, he was able to clearly focus his memories and his father's stories. He shared them with his daughters and then the world with the publication of his award-winning book "Paradise".

"My father was a pious man, but his piety was not oppressive. He did not harangue or lecture people, or engage in any ostentatious acts of observance. When he was younger, he was one of the handful of people who went to the mosque for the dawn prayers, and went to the mosque for all the other prayers in the day when he wasn't at work. Even when he was so unwell, he went to the mosque for at least three of the day's prayers. During the month of Ramadhan he read the Koran from beginning to end, reading for two hours in the afternoon every day instead of taking his usual siesta, pacing himself so that he could complete the reading before the month was out. So it was no surprise that one of the first things that my father should say to me after a 17-year absence was, go to the mosque and say your prayers, for while he did not harangue people about praying, he did not see why he should not harangue his own son."

Notes:
ABDULRAZAK GURNAH (Novelist). Abdulrazak was born in 1948 in Zanzibar, Tanzania and teaches at the University of Kent. His best-known novels are Desertion (2005), By The Sea (2001), and Paradise (1994). The latter was short-listed for the Booker Prize and the Whitbread Prize. It is a compelling story set in East Africa about a young Muslim boy, Yusuf, who is pawned by his father to a rich and powerful trader whom he is told is his "uncle". His search for his own identity and for an understanding of his true father's actions is the centre Gurnah's novel.

THU 19:00 Performance on 3 (b010gpnb)
Angela Hewitt RFH

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Renowned for her interpretations of Bach's keyboard music, Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt performs a recital which pairs two suites from the Baroque period with two of the greatest masterpieces of the variation form. It's a concert with subtle links between the works: the word Partita originally meaning 'variation'; three of the works have important fugues and Brahms's 'Handel Variations' is based on a theme from one of Handel's keyboard suites - though not the one performed tonight. Beethoven based his set of variations on the theme he was later to use in the last movement of his 3rd Symphony the 'Eroica', so the variations share the nickname. Recorded last month at the Royal Festival Hall, London.

J.S. Bach - Partita no.1 in B flat BWV.825
Beethoven - 15 Variations and a Fugue on an Original theme in Eb op.35 'Eroica'
Handel - Suite no.8 in F minor HWV.433
Brahms - 25 Variations and Fugue on a theme by G.F. Handel op.24

THU 21:15 Night Waves (b00v7tnw)
Baroness Warnock

Baroness Warnock is most famous as the author of the Warnock Report on human fertility, the first, and many would say best, attempt to legislate for the burgeoning area of reproductive ethics. As well as navigating the moral complexities of IVF, stem cells and human embryo destruction, Mary Warnock has raised five children, run an Oxford college and written numerous books for both the professional and the lay philosopher. Now she is embroiled in a long-running debate about the status of religious ideas in British society. Warnock believes that religious thinkers are given a special authority in moral discussions and that they should not be; a fact she is robustly happy to discuss with any religious minded thinker, be they a bishop in the House of Lords or a columnist for the Daily Mail.

In an interview first broadcast in October 2010, Anne McElvoy talks to Baroness Warnock about her long life, her philosophical influences and the tragedies that she has suffered. Anne also challenges her on the role of the public intellectual to legislate for the rest of society and whether her reputation for being a moral pragmatist underplays the strong sense of principled rationalism she brings to her work.

THU 23:00 The Essay (b010gpwf)
The Essay: The Father Instinct

James MacMillan

Lou Stein's investigation into the connections between fatherhood and creativity continues with composer James Macmillan's view that the traditional role of fatherhood which values family and life must be re-discovered and celebrated. For Macmillan, marrying and having a family was entirely sympathetic with the demands of his life as an artist.

"Can a musician contribute to this much-needed counter-revolution? Can artists be weaned off their toxic hedonism to provide new ways of imagining our human condition and its flourishing in a universal sense of the good life? I have no idea.

Nevertheless, something strange happened to me and my long-time collaborator, the poet Michael Symmons Roberts when we first became fathers in the 1990s. We were overwhelmed at the new experience. No one warns you that you fall head over heels in love with the new arrivals - these tiny, insignificant little bundles - who can do nothing for themselves, but turn your lives inside out. Maybe mothers know about this, but as usual, fathers, perhaps a bit slow on the uptake, are the last to find out. We noticed that there was not much in our culture which reflected on this, or celebrated parenthood, and fatherhood especially. Neither was there much which rejoiced in the family, or marriage or the fullness of human sexuality, other than the usual stuff from popular culture. We wondered if we could address this vacuum in our own work, some way. It is not the first time that Michael and I have been accused of muscling into territory recently colonized by militant, exclusivist feminism, but you know what? We couldn't care less! The result was Quickening, a large oratorio co-commissioned by the BBC Proms and the Philadelphia Orchestra."

Notes:
JAMES MACMILLAN (Composer). James became internationally recognised after the performance of his composition Tryst in 1990 which lead to his appointment as Affiliate Composer of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. His prolific output has been performed and broadcast around the world, placing him in the front rank of contemporary composers. James' beautifully reflective works about the Scottish Isles The Road to Ardtalla (1983) and I (A Meditation on Iona) (1996) were toured nationally in 2004 as part of Lou Stein's and Deirdre Gribbin's Venus Blazing Tour, which played to a sell-out crowd at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London.

Friday - Sarah Walker

With Sarah Walker. In this week of the Royal Wedding, music with Pomp and Circumstance, recordings by Mitsuko Uchida, plus our Friday virtuoso, violinist Salvatore Accardo plays Paganini.

As the bells ring out in Westminster Abbey, we celebrate today's Royal Wedding with music full of pomp and circumstance used for royal occasions - Handel's Zadok the Priest, one of four anthems composed for the coronation of George II in 1727. We also play Swedish Baroque composer Johan Helmich Roman's Music for a Royal Wedding, a selection of pieces written for the four-day-long wedding of Crown Prince Adolf Frederick of Sweden and his bride Louisa Ulrika of Prussia.

Gustav Holst (1874-1934)

Episode 5

Holst's final opera hints that he was on the verge of achieving very great things on the stage and in the concert hall, but his sudden death cut short what might have been the crowning years of his career. Presented by Donald Macleod.


FRI 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b010gpym)
Florestan Trio

Episode 4

The Florestan Trio in a series of concerts given at LSO St Luke's. Each concert included a work by Beethoven, alongside works by other composers.

Today there are two unusual works in the trio genre - Janacek's "Kreutzer Sonata" restored to what is possibly its original scoring for trio by Till Alexander Körber , and Beethoven's Second Symphony in an arrangement by the composer himself.

JANACEK
Piano Trio (Kreutzer Sonata)

BEETHOVEN
Second Symphony (in the composer's version for piano trio).

FRI 19:50 Twenty Minutes (b00s1ml2)
I'm Sorry I Killed Your Fish

Shostakovich's Fifth symphony was published with the tag "A Soviet artist's reply to justified criticism," and was widely seen as an apology to Stalin authorities for his opera Lady Macbeth. Russian apologies are very different from English ones. Overwhelmingly the most common way for a Russian to apologise is to say "forgive me": a formulation that demands forgiveness from the listener. English apologies, by contrast, almost always use the word "sorry": a word full of ambiguity since it expresses regret but not necessarily culpability.

The ambiguity has frequently been exploited by Anglo-Saxon politicians who have apparently apologised for historic wrongs which they were not responsible for.

Poles use the formula: "I apologise" - what linguists call a "a performative" - which is situated somewhere between the English and Russian formula. Eva Ogiermann from Portsmouth University is a Polish linguist, fluent in all three languages; she has carried out extensive research in how people apologise in the three languages. In one scenario she asked people how they would apologise for letting a neighbour's pet fish die while supposedly looking after them. A typical British apology is "Some of your fish died while you were away. I fed them an everything but turned up one day and some had died" (admitting facts but denying responsibility) or when accepting blame only using careful formulation such as "I think I might not have fed them properly". Russians and Poles would tend to the more florid, such as "I neglected your fish. I know now that there is nothing to be done", or "I have not lived up to your trust".

Using many other scenarios, not just fish, Eva Ogiermann constructs a complete typology of apology, and argues that the differences are more than linguistic - they reflect different notions of politeness in the respective cultures. The British emphasise "negative politeness" - not encroaching on someone else's space. Russians are far more interested in "positive politeness" - making the hearer feel good about themselves.

FRI 23:00 The Essay (b010gq10)
The Essay: The Father Instinct

The Father Instinct

In his concluding essay for the series, writer/director Lou Stein reveals how his four year old son, who has Down's syndrome, has been a positive influence on his work and life.

"Fathering a child with a severe disability is usually seen to compromise work and personal life, but in my case, my son has enhanced, inspired and even become a part of my work as a director and dramatist".

While working on pre-production groundwork for THE ESSAY series, Lou interviewed a number of potential artist-fathers who might have something revealing to say about the impact of fatherhood, either negative or positive on their work. During this process, he realised that the birth of his son, Ethan, marked a progressive turning point in his directing career. During the first few weeks of his son's life, which coincided with the premiere of a play he was directing (PERFORMANCES by Brian Friel), Lou imagined a future where most of his energies would be spent on caring for a son who had critically severe special needs. He feared the implications for his own work.

The opposite happened. A power instinctive force was released which Lou feels has resulted in some of his best creative work. Ethan has also put Lou in touch with his own father who died when he was 7 by reminding him of his own childhood.

"During the first week of Ethan's birth, I heard and saw my father clearly for the first time in my life. In the dream, he appeared in a 1950's-styled checked blouson jacket and well-creased trousers and approached me from a far distance. I saw he was holding baby Ethan. Then very deliberately, he walked up to me and with great import, he handed Ethan to me and said in a voice which I had not remembered before this moment "Ethan is my gift for you"."

LOU STEIN (Theatre Director). Lou is a London based Theatre Director/Writer who founded the Gate Theatre, Notting Hill and has worked with such actors as Dame Helen Mirren, Clive Owen, Sir Patrick Stewart, Chris Eccleston, Sir John Mills, and Helena Bonham-Carter in London theatres including the West End, The Royal Court, and for the BBC.
