SAT 12:15 Music Feature (b01cj1c9)
Inspired by Birds

Professional musician Tom McKinney has been fascinated by birds used in music since his mid teens when he first heard Chronochromie, an enormous orchestral work by the French composer Olivier Messiaen, which quotes extensively from European, Far-Eastern and Central American birds.

In this Radio 3 Music Feature Tom meets fellow enthusiasts who reflect upon the profound impact that birds have had on many composers.

Experts Mark Constantine and Magnus Robb have compiled over 45,000 incredible recordings of birds some of which feature in the programme allowing birds themselves to take pride of place.

Close personal friend of Messiaen's, Peter Hill gives tantalizing glimpses into the personal life of music's most committed bird enthusiast.

As Tom discovers, being inspired by bird sound can affect people in many different ways. For a composer bird sound is source material in order to create a work of art, for example the migratory calls from a flock of swans over Sibelius's home in Finland formed the main theme in the 3rd movement of his 5th Symphony.

But for an obsessive birder like Andy Roadhouse at Spurn Point in East Yorkshire, birds become the entire focus of a person's life.

Tom reflects on composers like Vivaldi, Beethoven and Wagner who have all been fascinated - maybe even intoxicated - by bird sound. From the composition of an orchestral symphony to counting flocks of calling Meadow Pipits, the programme hears just how profoundly bird sound can affect and inspire us.

First broadcast in February 2012.


SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show (b01mk7zk)
The Music of the Musketeers

Anne of Austria and Cardinal Mazarin are two of the central figures in Alexandre Dumas's novel, "The Three Musketeers". Together with readings from Dumas' novels, Lucie Skeaping presents highlights of a concert given by L'Arpeggiata exploring some of the music connected with Anne and Mazarin, in particular Italian music performed at her court, from composers such as Monteverdi and Luigi Rossi.


SAT 14:00 BBC Proms (b01mdhs9)
Proms Chamber Music

PCM 08 - Pierre-Laurent Aimard

Live from Cadogan Hall, London

Presented by Clemency Burton-Hill

French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard performs music by compatriot Claude Debussy in the year of the 150th anniversary of his birth.

A meticulous interpreter and a brilliant technician, Pierre-Laurent Aimard is a familiar face at the Proms and in this final Proms Chamber Music of the season, he turns his attention to the revolutionary piano works of Debussy. At the core of the programme is Debussy's Second Book of Preludes - short evocations, improvisatory in character and free in form - they are in Aimard's words "wonderful labyrinths in sound", and there is possibly no better guide through the labyrinth than Aimard.

Debussy: Les soirs illuminés par l'ardeur du charbon
Élégie
Masques
Préludes - Book 2.


SAT 15:00 Saturday Classics (b01mk7zm)
Nichola McAuliffe

Actress Nichola McAuliffe chooses a personal selection of musical "forgotten gems": composers and performers whose fame was enormous in their lifetimes but whose names may have slipped from our 21st-century memories. The programme includes music by Meyerbeer, Graupner, Dittersdorf, Myaskovsky, Rutland Boughton, Chevalier de Saint-Georges and Pauline Viardot and performances by pianist Alfred Cortot, sopranos Dora Labette, Dame Isobel Baillie and Mary Thomas and tenor William Heddle Nash.


SAT 17:00 Jazz Record Requests (b01mk7zp)
Alyn Shipton's selection from listeners' requests includes music by singers Stacey Kent and Anita O'Day, plus the jazz side of Ry Cooder and the classic New Orleans sound of Barney Bigard.


SAT 18:00 Words and Music (b01ghb91)
Perfection

Physical beauty is the ultimate expression of human perfection. In geometry, the circle is, according to Aristotle, 'the perfect, first, most beautiful form'. This week's Words and Music goes in pursuit of perfection - an often elusive intangible concept for many writers and musicians. It can be an unattainable state, ending only in disappointment and failure. But there is still hope, for comfort can be found in the simplicity and stability of its sibling, imperfection. With readings by Helen Baxendale and David Schofield.

Producer: Gavin Heard.

In his last concert as chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Jiri Belohlavek brings with him two works by fellow Czechs - Dvorak and Suk.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b011pl6f)
Trevor McDonald

Michael Berkeley's guest on Private Passions this week is the journalist and former newsreader Sir Trevor McDonald. Born in Trinidad, he moved to Britain and began his media career as a BBC radio producer. He began his long association with ITN in 1973, first as a general reporter, then as a sports correspondent, and subsequently focusing on international politics - he secured interviews with Yasser Arafat, Colonel Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein, among other notorious international figures.
In the 1980s he became the first black TV newsreader in the UK. From 1992 he was the sole presenter of ITV's News at Ten, quickly gaining a profile as one of the best-known faces on British TV, and continued to present the evening news until he finally retired after the 2008 US Presidential Election. From 1999 to 2009 he hosted ITN's flagship current affairs programme Tonight with Trevor McDonald. He now focuses on presenting documentaries and features. He has won more awards than any other British reporter, and was knighted in 1999.

His musical choices start with Elgar's 'Introduction and Allegro', which he first heard as a young man played by the Halle Orchestra on tour in Trinidad. They continue with the Prisoners' Chorus from Verdi's Nabucco, which represents the cry for freedom of all oppressed people; an aria from Handel's 'Messiah', which moves him as an expression of faith; an excerpt from Beethoven's Violin Concerto played by Nigel Kennedy, whom he greatly admires as a violinist; the Shaker hymn tune 'Simple Gifts' from Copland's 'Appalachian Spring'; an aria from Act I of Puccini's 'Tosca', and the finale of Chopin's First Piano Concerto, played by Artur Rubinstein, another of his musical heroes.

Dyson creates a set of musical portraits for the thirteen pilgrims, including the Haberdasher and his Fraternity, and the Wife of Bath.

The Canterbury Pilgrims was first performed in 1931, and was so popular it led to several subsequent Three Choirs commissions. This concert in 2012 is the first performance of this work at the Three Choirs Festival. During the interval, presenter Catherine Bott talks to Dyson expert Paul Spicer, about The Canterbury Pilgrims, and Dyson the man.

SUN 19:45 Sunday Feature (b01mfb2d)
Jacquetta Hawkes and the Personal Past

Christine Finn excavates clues in the personal and public life of once acclaimed archaeologist and writer, Jacquetta Hawkes, to explain why she has faded from public memory.

Jacquetta Hawkes defined archaeology for the post-War generation. Central to the planning of the Festival of Britain, her films and her regular TV and radio appearances ensured she was a public figure; her best-selling 1951 book, A Land, made archaeology accessible in a novel way. When Christine Finn came across it while studying archaeology and poetry, she could not understand why its author had been forgotten, while her second husband, JB Priestley, with whom she wrote and collaborated, remains well known. Finn's excavation throws up clues in Hawkes' personal and public life to explain why she was erased from public memory.

Finn was responsible for rescuing Hawkes' papers after her death and has championed her work as Hawkes' biographer. Now she celebrates the re-issue after 60 years of Hawkes' best known book, A Land. Illustrated by Henry Moore, it was a unique synthesis of art and geology, captivating critics and public alike, and introducing Hawkes' literary trademark: archaeology laced with her own personal past.

In the course of her excavation Christine Finn meets Jacquetta Hawkes' son Nicolas, JB Priestley's son Tom, Emeritus Professor of European Archaeology at Oxford Barry Cunliffe, Roman archaeologist Dr Martin Henig and Professor of Classical Archaeology at Stanford Michael Shanks; and she visits the Hawkes' archive at Bradford University in the company of archivist Alison Cullingford.

Producer: Marya Burgess

First broadcast in September 2012.


SUN 20:30 Drama on 3 (b01mk8z6)
The Product

Mike Walker's play is set in Vietnam shortly before Nixon's election in 1968. After their helicopter is shot down, a soldier and a journalist must battle their way through the jungle to safety. As they do so, they realise they were at the heart of opposing campaigns during the historic 1960 US presidential election which saw Kennedy defeat Nixon.

The 1960 Presidential race was the 'Mad Men' election when, for the first time, the politicians and their party machines sold themselves to a public delighting in the new medium of television. It was also the last of the old style elections, where millions of dollars was spread around to buy votes; where the dirty tricks reached their dubious height.

'Dear Jack, don't buy another vote - I'll be damned if I pay for a landslide!"
Joe Kennedy to JFK during the West Virginia Primary

Award-winning writer Mike Walker has written major docu-dramas on Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover, as well as about Frank Sinatra's involvement in the 1960 campaign. He has also scripted numerous acclaimed original radio plays and dramatisations, including 'A Tale of Two Cities', 'War and Peace' and 'Life and Fate'.

As the Jewish new year approaches, Sarah Walker's guest on Essential Classics this week is Baroness Julia Neuberger, one of Britain's most prominent liberal rabbis, social reformer and member of the House of Lords since June 2004. A former Liberal Democrat, she became a crossbench peer in September 2011 on becoming Senior Rabbi to the West London Synagogue (a Movement for Reform Judaism synagogue).
The daughter of a German Jewish immigrant family, she was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge, and obtained her Rabbinic Diploma at Leo Baeck College, London, where she taught for 20 years from 1977 to 1997. She was Britain's second female rabbi, and the first to have her own synagogue (the South London Liberal Synagogue). Since January 2007 she has been president of the Liberal Judaism movement.
Baroness Neuberger has always undertaken many voluntary and philanthropic roles. She was Chair of Camden and Islington Community Health Services NHS Trust from 1992 to 1997 and Chief Executive of The King's Fund 1997-2004. Several of her books deal with the ethics of healthcare and dying. The Moral State We're In, a study of morality and public policy in modern Britain, was published in 2005.

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912)

Episode 1

Donald Macleod explores the life and music of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, a composer who enjoyed world-wide popularity and acclaim until his death 100 years ago this year.

Coleridge-Taylor's father came from Sierra-Leone, and his son Samuel, named in recognition of the poet, called himself Anglo-African. His musical talents were recognised early on by his family and by local musical benefactors, and he went on to study at the Royal College of Music where he was soon recognised as a composer of real talent.

They play two works: Mozart's Quartet K575, and Schubert's wistfully lyrical A minor Quartet D804, known as the 'Rosamunde' because it includes a tender set of variations on a song from the composer's incidental music to a play of the same name.
Presented by Katie Derham.

Featuring the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra's concerts at the 2012 Edinburgh International Festival; a sultry live concert from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales; a British blockbuster Prom from the BBC Symphony Orchestra; and an expedition with several of the orchestras into the countryside and mountains of central Europe. The week also sets the scene for a particular focus on British music and British performers all winter in Afternoon on 3, culminating in special weeks focusing on the music of Michael Tippett and Benjamin Britten in March and June 2013.

We begin today with a second chance to hear Martyn Brabbins conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus (among others) in what was, remarkably, the first-ever Proms performance of Herbert Howells' masterpiece Hymnus Paradisi. Then the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor Josep Pons take over the stage - or should that be 'pit'? - for a complete performance of Tchaikovsky's great Nutcracker ballet, given a couple of weeks ago at the Edinburgh Festival.

The concert opens with a powerful choral meditation based on a Goethe text about the fate of man. Donald MacLeod presents the concert from the Usher Hall in Edinburgh.

What is 'Enough'?

Night Waves returns from its summer break this evening bursting with vigour and ready to try its teeth on one of philosophy's most fundamental questions - what is the good life? All four of this week's programmes will be grappling with subject but in tonight's opening discussion Philip Dodd and his guests consider how an idea that began with Aristotle as an ethical quest can have evolved in the 21st century into unbridled consumerism. Philip will be joined in the studio by the commentators Robert Skidelsky, Owen Jones and Jamie Whyte, the classicist, Edith Hall , the philosopher, Mark Vernon and the Benedictine Monk, Father Bede Hill
Producer: Zahid Warley.


MON 22:45 The Essay (b014ffyx)
The Other Empire

Episode 1

Julian Jackson uncovers the forgotten - and indeed in this country largely unknown - story of the French Empire. In the first of five Essays, he tells the story of France's first war of decolonisation, a slave rebellion in Haiti, sparked off by the French revolution in Paris and led by the charismatic Toussaint L'Ouverture.

The French Empire was second only to the British. At its peak in the 1930s it covered some 10 million square miles with a population of 100 million. It stretched from the West Indies to the South Pacific, from Indo-China to the Maghreb, from Sub-Saharan Africa to the Levant. The Empire may be gone now but its legacy lives on both in France and in the former colonies. With a Muslim population of 4.5 million today, France, thanks to her former Empire, has the largest Islamic population of any country in Europe; couscous is as much national dish as coq au vin (or chicken vindaloo in Britain). And with recent turbulent events in Africa and the Middle East reminding the French and us of the importance of these former links, this is a story that is worth telling in some detail.

France's imperial story which ended with the Algerian War of the 1950s in fact started over a century earlier with the first war of decolonization in the French sugar colony of St Domingue - now Haiti - in the Caribbean. A slave rebellion there, led by Toussaint L'Ouverture, resulted in his eventual capture by Napoleon, and death in a jail in the French Jura. But despite his capture, in the end the revolution was successful, 50,000 French troops perished, Napoleon suffered his first ever defeat and Haiti became independent in 1804

Producer: Simon Elmes

First broadcast in September 2011.


MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 (b01mk96f)
Fred Frith

Jez Nelson and Stuart Maconie introduce British guitarist and composer Fred Frith in a first-time collaboration with leading UK free-improvisers John Edwards (bass) and Mark Sanders (drums). Frith co-founded the avant-rock band Henry Cow in the late 1960s and cemented his reputation on the improvisation scene with the landmark album Guitar Solos a few years later. He has spent much of the last 30 years living in the US, playing with the likes of John Zorn's Naked City and experimental rock band Massacre, and composing for contemporary music ensembles such as the Arditti Quartet and Bang On A Can All-Stars.

The programme also explores the influence of American composer John Cage on jazz, in the centenary year of his birth.

Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producers: Peggy Sutton & Phil Smith.

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912)

Episode 2

Donald Macleod continues his exploration of the life and music of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Coleridge-Taylor composed his setting of Longfellow's poem Hiawatha's Wedding Feast in 1898 when he was only 23, and it remained a hugely popular part of the choral reperoire throughout his life and long after his death in 1912. However, although his reputation will always be associated with this piece, which made his name famous throughout the musical world, it has sometimes overshadowed the beauty of much of his other work, such as his elegant and original Clarinet Quintet, composed while he was still a student.

The Other Empire

Episode 2

Julian Jackson uncovers the forgotten - and indeed in this country largely unknown - story of the French Empire. In the second of five Essays, he tells the story of France's involvement in sub-Saharan Africa.

The French Empire was second only to the British. At its peak in the 1930s it covered some 10 million square miles with a population of 100 million. It stretched from the West Indies to the South Pacific, from Indo-China to the Maghreb, from Sub-Saharan Africa to the Levant.

And with recent turbulent events in Africa and the Middle East reminding the French and us of the importance of these former links, this is a story that is worth telling in some detail.

The inheritance of France's sub-Saharan empire in Africa is complex: What was once the Upper Volta, then part of French Sudan, then part of Niger in 1927, then divided up between Cote d'Ivoire, Sudan and Niger, then (1947) Upper Volta again - and is now Burkina Faso. The arbitrary divisions imposed by the French - are of course part of the reasons for the difficult history of this region ever since...

10.30am
As the Jewish new year approaches, Sarah Walker's guest on Essential Classics this week is Baroness Julia Neuberger, one of Britain's most prominent liberal rabbis, social reformer and member of the House of Lords since June 2004. A former Liberal Democrat, she became a crossbench peer in September 2011 on becoming Senior Rabbi to the West London Synagogue (a Movement for Reform Judaism synagogue).
The daughter of a German Jewish immigrant family, she was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge, and obtained her Rabbinic Diploma at Leo Baeck College, London, where she taught for 20 years from 1977 to 1997. She was Britain's second female rabbi, and the first to have her own synagogue (the South London Liberal Synagogue). Since January 2007 she has been president of the Liberal Judaism movement.
Baroness Neuberger has always undertaken many voluntary and philanthropic roles. She was Chair of Camden and Islington Community Health Services NHS Trust from 1992 to 1997 and Chief Executive of The King's Fund 1997-2004. Several of her books deal with the ethics of healthcare and dying. The Moral State We're In, a study of morality and public policy in modern Britain, was published in 2005.

WED 12:00 Composer of the Week (b01mkbt6)
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912)

Episode 3

Donald Macleod continues his examination of the life and music of the Anglo-African composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, an internationally renowned figure in late Victorian times.

As part of Radio 3's commitment to connecting audiences with pioneering music and culture, this week we're exploring issues of diversity and access in classical music with a Diversity and Inclusion in Composition Conference at RNCM and a celebration of a wide range of performers and composers in our programmes, including Composer of the Week.

Coleridge-Taylor's mixed race heritage was unusual in Victorian Britain, but his talents as a musician seemed to protect him from much of the racism which might have been expected to come this way. However, when he fell in love with an English girl her family were outraged at the prospect of a 'mixed marriage'. Donald Macleod tells the story of the romance between Samuel and Jessie, and plays some of the music that they worked on together.

WED 22:00 Night Waves (b01mkbzg)
Landmarks: Dostoevsky's The Idiot

From holy fools to fallen women, via scenes of high social drama in middle class drawing rooms, Dostoevsky's 'The Idiot' (1869) raises 'the good life' as an existential question that everybody must answer for themselves.
Written whilst the author was on the run from his creditors, the novel has been read as both an over-the-top melodrama, and as a profound exploration of the ambiguity of goodness. It's also proved irresistible to directors, spawning adaptations for stage, cinema and TV.
Matthew Sweet is joined by the theologian Giles Fraser, Russian specialist Sarah Young and the novelist Zinovy Zinik

Producer: Luke Mulhall.


WED 22:45 The Essay (b014fhkw)
The Other Empire

Episode 3

Julian Jackson uncovers the forgotten - and indeed in this country largely unknown - story of the French Empire. In the third of five Essays, he tells the story of the imperial troops who fought for France in two world wars.

The French Empire was second only to the British. At its peak in the 1930s it covered some 10 million square miles with a population of 100 million. It stretched from the West Indies to the South Pacific, from Indo-China to the Maghreb, from Sub-Saharan Africa to the Levant. The Empire may be gone now but its legacy lives on both in France and in the former colonies. With a Muslim population of 4.5 million today, France, thanks to her former Empire, has the largest Islamic population of any country in Europe; couscous is as much national dish as coq au vin (or chicken vindaloo in Britain). And with recent turbulent events in Africa and the Middle East reminding the French and us of the importance of these former links, this is a story that is worth telling in some detail.

The armies lauded by de Gaulle on his triumphant return to Paris in 1944, who had liberated Italy and southern France were largely made up of black and North African troops. But this was not true of the French troops that helped liberate Paris because the British, American and Free French had all colluded in ensuring that those troops were white.Tonight, Julian focuses on the vital importance played by colonial troops in the French armies - both in the conquest of other parts of the Empire but also in the First and Second World Wars.

Producer: Simon Elmes.

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912)

Episode 4

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor is best remembered for his choral masterpiece Hiawatha's Wedding Feast. However, despite the fact that his best-known work meant that he kept returning to large-scale choral composition throughout his life, he was also a prolific composer of incidental music for the stage, and the chamber music that had marked him out as a remarkable student at the Royal College of Music. Donald Macleod explores some of his lesser-known music, with specially recorded contributions from the BBC Singers.

2012

Episode 1

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

The 17th Leeds International Piano Competition began on the 29th August with a short-list of more than 60 competitors who have travelled to Leeds from all parts of the world, intent on following in the footsteps of past laureates such as Murray Perahia, Radu Lupu, Andras Schiff, Mitsuko Uchida, Lars Vogt, Louis Lortie and Artur Pizarro. With the intial judging stages now out of the way, the list is down to six.
Tomorrow and Saturday are the Concerto Finals, when each of the six will perform with the Halle and Sir Mark Elder. Petroc Trelawny, alongside acclaimed pianists Kathryn Stott and Benjamin Frith, have been following the journey of the six so far, and in this, the first of four programmes on Radio 3 from this year's Leeds Competition, they offer insights and highlights from the semi-final recitals stage, and a chance to get to know the six musicians who will take the event to its culmination over the next two days.

In an extended and probing conversation he traces Sen's journey from the child who witnessed a brutal sectarian murder to the man celebrated for his ground breaking work on the causes of famine; from the precocious boy born into an academic family in Dhaka - now part of Bangladesh - to the man who was the first Indian to be master of an Oxbridge college and the man hailed by Time Magazine not just as an "Asian Hero" but also as one of the world's 50 most influential people.

THU 22:45 The Essay (b014fkhl)
The Other Empire

Episode 4

Julian Jackson uncovers the forgotten - and indeed in this country largely unknown - story of the French Empire. In the fourth of five Essays, he tells the story of France's involvement in Indo-China - Cambodia, Laos and of course, Vietnam.

The French Empire was second only to the British. At its peak in the 1930s it covered some 10 million square miles with a population of 100 million. It stretched from the West Indies to the South Pacific, from Indo-China to the Maghreb, from Sub-Saharan Africa to the Levant. The Empire may be gone now but its legacy lives on both in France and in the former colonies. With a Muslim population of 4.5 million today, France, thanks to her former Empire, has the largest Islamic population of any country in Europe; couscous is as much national dish as coq au vin (or chicken vindaloo in Britain). And with recent turbulent events in Africa and the Middle East reminding the French and us of the importance of these former links, this is a story that is worth telling in some detail.

The beginnings of the French Empire in Indo-China in the Far East were in the 1880s.This was France's most productive colony, especially the rubber industry. Julian tells the story of that achievement and eventual collapse as a result of the Japanese successes in the Far East. France's far eastern adventure ended in disaster in 1954 with the terrible battle of Dien Bien Phu: France's most catastrophic colonial defeat.

Producer: Simon Elmes.

As the Jewish new year approaches, Sarah Walker's guest on Essential Classics this week is Baroness Julia Neuberger, one of Britain's most prominent liberal rabbis, social reformer and member of the House of Lords since June 2004. A former Liberal Democrat, she became a crossbench peer in September 2011 on becoming Senior Rabbi to the West London Synagogue (a Movement for Reform Judaism synagogue).
The daughter of a German Jewish immigrant family, she was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge, and obtained her Rabbinic Diploma at Leo Baeck College, London, where she taught for 20 years from 1977 to 1997. She was Britain's second female rabbi, and the first to have her own synagogue (the South London Liberal Synagogue). Since January 2007 she has been president of the Liberal Judaism movement.
Baroness Neuberger has always undertaken many voluntary and philanthropic roles. She was Chair of Camden and Islington Community Health Services NHS Trust from 1992 to 1997 and Chief Executive of The King's Fund 1997-2004. Several of her books deal with the ethics of healthcare and dying. The Moral State We're In, a study of morality and public policy in modern Britain, was published in 2005.

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912)

Episode 5

When Samuel Coleridge-Taylor died, aged only 37, a century ago on 1st September 1912, he was one of the most famous names in the musical world. He had been become a household name in Britain and America thanks to the success of his choral masterpiece Hiawatha's Wedding Feast, and the popularity of that work lived on well into the 1920s and 30s with huge sell-out annual festival performances in the Albert Hall. In the last of this week's programmes on Coleridge-Taylor's life and legacy, Donald Macleod looks at the final years of his life and his contemporary reputation, and includes a complete performance of his Violin Concerto.

BBC Orchestras - Summer Sounds

Episode 4

Penny Gore launches Afternoon on 3's new season with summer sounds from the BBC Orchestras. She ends the week with an intrepid expedition led by three BBC Orchestras into the countryside and mountains of central Europe. Experienced mountain guide Donald Runnicles leads his BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra on a relaxed tramp through Beethoven's pastoral landscape (and a passing storm) before setting out on day-long traverse of an Alpine peak, as mapped out by Richard Strauss.

And to set the scene, we visit the small but perfectly formed Tatra mountain range on the border between Poland and Slovakia. Polish composer Mieczyslaw Karlowicz and his Czech contemporary Vítezslav Novák both loved these mountains - Novák even pioneered a route up one of the highest peaks, and Karlowicz was killed there in a skiing accident at the age of only 32 - and in the early years of the twentieth century, a decade before Strauss, they each wrote symphonic poems inspired by their Tatran experiences.

FRI 22:45 The Essay (b014fl87)
The Other Empire

Episode 5

Julian Jackson uncovers the forgotten - and indeed in this country largely unknown - story of the French Empire. In the last of five Essays, he tells the story of France's last great colonial crisis that sowed the seeds for decades of racial tension at home that still endures today.

The French Empire was second only to the British. At its peak in the 1930s it covered some 10 million square miles with a population of 100 million. It stretched from the West Indies to the South Pacific, from Indo-China to the Maghreb, from Sub-Saharan Africa to the Levant. The Empire may be gone now but its legacy lives on both in France and in the former colonies. With a Muslim population of 4.5 million today, France, thanks to her former Empire, has the largest Islamic population of any country in Europe; couscous is as much national dish as coq au vin (or chicken vindaloo in Britain). And with recent turbulent events in Africa and the Middle East reminding the French and us of the importance of these former links, this is a story that is worth telling in some detail.

Tunisia and Morocco had been granted independence relatively easily in 1950s because they were technically only protectorates while Algeria with a white population of over a million was seen as an integral part of France. What also made the Algerian war so bloody and painful was the way the army used torture to break the resistance. Julian explains how this became a crisis of conscience for the French: having been the victims of Nazi torture in WWII they are now the torturers...

Producer: Simon Elmes.
