Rob Cowan presents Breakfast, including Smetana's Dance of the Comedians performed by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Charles Mackerras, pianist Murray Perahia performs Chopin's Prelude in C sharp minor, and a look at what's new in this week's Specialist Classical Chart.
With Sarah Walker. Sarah's Artist of the Week is the pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, who was born in Karmoy, Norway in 1970, and studied at the Bergen Music Conservatory under the renowned Czech professor Jiri Hlinka. Andsnes cites Dinu Lipatti, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Sviatoslav Richter, and Geza Anda among the pianists who have most inspired him. He has been nominated for seven Grammys and awarded many international prizes, including five Gramophone Awards and the Royal Philharmonic Society's Instrumentalist Award.
We hear him today perform Grieg's Lyric Pieces at Grieg's villa in Troldhaugen, Norway, and Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor.
Classically tall, dark and handsome, and a man with a personal magnetism of such intensity, he could, it was often said, "charm the birds off the trees". It's no surprise that after an early operatic success, America fell in love with Gian Carlo Menotti, and he quickly made friends in high places. Donald Macleod explores Menotti's glamorous connections and the plentiful commissions they brought him.
Katie Derham presents a concert given by the harpsichordist player Christophe Rousset recorded in Blythburgh Church at this year's Aldeburgh Festival in Suffolk.

Journalist Michael Brooks will be outlining the theory in his new book, 'Free Radicals: The Secret Anarchy of Science', in which he argues that scientists are by no means the cool, logical and dispassionate characters they have presented themselves as to the public. He'll be joined in the studio by geneticist Steve Jones.
As London's Imperial War Museum marks its 75th year, historian Terry Charman and journalist Kate Adie look at how the museum has represented Britain's military history since its opening, and what emphasis it should place on contemporary conflicts alongside the stories of past wars.
And the fifth of Radio 3's New Generation Thinkers, Jon Adams, charts the history of global urbanisation.
In the second of five essays about the history of an idea, the art historian Tom Nichols explores the depiction of poverty and the paintings of beggars made in the Renaissance.

He said he went to Scotland because he loved the country and he loved silence: "In my country silence is too expensive. I love the cold". The locals in a nearby village were immediately intrigued, awarding him the nickname 'Mr McNaughty'. With Donald Macleod.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b0128pxb)
Gian Carlo Menotti (1911-2007)
Episode 5
Donald Macleod explores why previously disparaging attitudes to Menotti's music have recently mellowed. His highly popular works were derided by highbrow critics as naïve and sentimental, yet Menotti never deviated from following his own path, insisting that one of the primary ingredients of good opera was the ability to bring tears to an audience's eyes. As his biographer John Gruen pointed out: "In later years even his greatest detractors would credit him with a flawless technique".

Siegfried experiences fear for the first time at the sight of a woman, Brunnhilde. He wakes her from a magic sleep. Brunnhilde is won over by Siegfried's love, and renounces the world of the gods. Together, they hail "light-bringing love and laughing death.".
