Rob Cowan's guest this week of Hallowe'en is the international best-selling author and broadcaster Kate Mosse. Kate has enjoyed widespread acclaim for her novels. Labyrinth was a New York Times bestselling novel, winning the Best Read category at the British Book Awards 2006, and was the biggest selling title of 2006. Sepulchre, the second in the Languedoc Trilogy, was also an international bestseller, while Citadel, the final novel in the trilogy, was published in September this year. Kate is the co-founder and Honorary Director of the Orange Prize for Fiction, now the Woman's Prize for Fiction.
As well as fiction, Kate currently writes columns for The Bookseller, The Times, The Sunday Times, the Guardian, the Independent and the Financial Times.
She is also a popular broadcaster, and appears as a regular guest on BBC One's Breakfast News, BBC Two's The Review Show and as a guest presenter on A Good Read for BBC Radio 4.
Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 2 in G major, Op.44
In the 1930s, the sixtysomething Koechlin became besotted with the Hollywood starlet Lilian Harvey, composing over 100 pieces for her. Donald Macleod outlines a musical obsession, and explores Koechlin's unique "Seven Stars" Symphony - a symphony with each movement depicting a different actor of the silver screen. He also looks at Koechlin's relationship with his favourite pupil Catherine Urner - a meeting of musical minds that would blossom into love...and end in tragedy.
From the St. Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney, at the 2012 St. Magnus Festival the Trondheim Soloists perform Grieg and Bartok.

Kirill Karabits conducts Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony and before that a breathtaking new Percussion Concerto by the young Israel-born composer, Avner Dorman.
WIth its dynamic principal conductor at the helm and a brand new work written and performed by musicians both in their twenties this promises to be an exhilarating concert from the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. The percussionist, Martin Grubinger is a rising star of the international percussion world and he brings this concerto hot foot from Istanbul and Leipzig: he'll certainly have to be on his toes for Avner Dorman's acrobatic showpiece.
Interval Music - the choir of WInchester Cathedral in music by William Byrd and John Sheppard and more from Avner Dorman - his Concero Grosso.
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No.5 in E minor, Op. 64
Frozen Time is scored for a huge range of percussion instruments from around the world which give a series of imaginary snapshots of the Earth's geological development from prehistoric times to the present day. Each of the three movements represents one of the three land masses that emerged from the primordial continent Pangaea - "Indoafrica", "Eurasia" and "The Americas". The musical journey features the rhythms and sounds of India and south-east Asia (with cow bells and gamelan) as well as ecstatic African drumming. There is a more mysterious and chilly psychological depiction of Europe and a final exploration of jazzy grooves and grunge rock of modern America.
Philip Dodd presents a Landmark edition examining Muriel Spark's 1961 novel The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie It's a fierce assault on the smug, joyless and sexless quality of Edinburgh middle-class life in the 1930s. Its heroine Jean Brodie, is a schoolmistress with a difference - proud, cultured and romantic, her ideas are progressive and radical. She's a dangerously confused woman, headstrong and left single by the holocaust of young men in the First World War, and forced to work out her frustrations as a teacher in a conventional Edinburgh school for girls. When she decides to transform a group of young pupils into the crème de la crème of Marcia Blaine school, 'the Brodie Set' feel honoured and privileged - but in return she expects their undivided loyalty: "give me a girl at an impressionable age and she is mine for life". However, her passionate relationship with her pupils gradually deteriorates from the eccentric and enriching, to the damaging and politically vicious. Philip Dodd is joined by novelists Ian Rankin, Louise Welsh and former Bishop of Edinburgh Richard Holloway to examine this acclaimed and disturbing portrait of adolescent trauma and lost innocence.
Each year millions of visitors marvel at the artistry and beauty of the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo was commissioned to undertake the project by Pope Julius II in 1508 and, with work on the scaffolding proving physically and emotionally agonizing for the reluctant artist, he recounted, "After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-size figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become."
On November 1 1512, All Saint's Day, the Chapel was unveiled to the world as Pope Julius II celebrated mass there for the first time in four years. According to Giorgio Vasari, Michelangelo's pupil, those who attended were left "speechless with astonishment" by the ceiling's technical mastery and scale.
Michelangelo had decorated the heart of the work, the central ceiling vault, with nine scenes from the Book of Genesis: three depicting the Creation, three the fall of Adam and Eve and three the story of Noah.
Now, to mark the 500th anniversary of the completion of the commission, four contrasting figures offer personal responses to Michelangelo's Genesis paintings.
Tonight Rachel Campbell-Johnston, Chief Art Critic at The Times, explores the ethics of restoration in relation to Michelangelo's Genesis masterpiece.
Presented by Fiona Talkington. Music includes Leeds band Eyes Shut Tight from BBC Introducing at Manchester Jazz Festival and a previously unreleased recording from 1981 of Jan Garbarek, Egberto Gismonti and Charlie Haden. There is also the new album from Lau, an Albanian lament and piano music by Christopher Fox.

Episode 4
By the 1930s, Koechlin was more famous as an educator than a composer - much to his displeasure. Donald Macleod explores his continuing flirtation with some of the female stars of Hollywood's Golden Age - including Jean Harlow and Ginger Rogers. Plus, as Europe spirals towards war, he looks at Koechlin's radical political and musical beliefs. We end with the composer's last two works based on Kipling's "The Jungle Book".

It was he who provided the libretto for, and also directed, the early performances of Winter's 'heroic comedy' - a work complete with High Priests, a Queen of the Night, a spectacular battle with the elements, a glockenspiel and, of course, a jolly bird catcher.

Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 3
The Third Symphony by Sergei Rachmaninov was not a success when premiered in the USA. It was composed at a time when Rachmaninov and his family had left Bolshevik Russia for good. However, the composer still felt a deep connection with his homeland, and when the symphony was performed in Moscow just after the composer's death, it was a great success, touching the hearts of those in attendance.
Stephen Johnson explores Rachmaninov's Third Symphony, which despite having been written far from the composer's homeland, is deeply entrenched in a Russian heritage.

It's fitting that such a fiercely independent, free-thinking musical mind should compose for one of the strangest instruments of the 20th century - the early electronic instrument, the Ondes Martenot. Donald Macleod introduces Koechlin's "Towards The Sun" for solo Ondes - a work that both showcases the instrument's eerie, ethereal sound, and seems to capture the composer's own otherworldly temperament. He ends the week with two attractive late chamber works, plus the composer's last significant work for orchestra, "The Burning Bush".

With his early demise the heirship to the English and Scottish thrones passed to his younger brother, the ill-fated Charles.
Music for Prince Henry includes many moving settings by the finest English and Scottish composers of the time including:
Tomkins:Know you not that a great Prince has died
Ramsey: Sleep, Fleshly Birth
Weelkes: David's Lament for Jonathan
Tomkins: When David Heard; Then David Mourned
John Milton: When David Heard

Spencer de Grey
Matthew Sweet meets the architect Spencer de Grey, whose buildings include The Sage Gateshead, Stansted Airport and the British Museum Great Court.
The Sage Gateshead, which opened in 2004, hosts the Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival this weekend.
Spencer de Grey is Head of Design at Norman Foster's architectural practice. Joining Foster Associates in 1973 de Grey worked on the design for the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank before returning to the UK in 1981 and spending ten years working on Stansted Airport. He has also overseen the building of the Law Faculty at Cambridge, HM Treasury in Whitehall and nine City Academy schools in the UK.
He talks to Matthew Sweet about his views on architecture, his relationship with star architect Norman Foster and the design of The Sage Gateshead, whose silver curves have been likened to an armadillo, a shell, and a giant wave.
Free Thinking, Radio 3's festival of ideas, takes place Friday 2 - Sunday 4 November and is broadcast for three weeks on Radio 3 from Friday 2 November.

2012 Festival
Mary Robinson
Mary Robinson delivers the opening lecture of the BBC Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival 2012, arguing that women leaders are better placed than men to sort out the crises of the 21st Century.
Mary Robinson has had a pioneering political career. She was the first female President of Ireland, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and Chair of the Council of Women World Leaders. Now she is a member of The Elders, along with Nelson Mandela and Jimmy Carter, the group of global leaders who campaign together for peace and human rights, and is President of the Mary Robinson Foundation - Climate Justice, a centre dedicated to helping marginalised victims of climate change.
Mary Robinson's talk about women leaders was recorded earlier tonight in front of an audience at The Sage Gateshead and presented by Matthew Sweet. It marks the start of three weeks of Free Thinking broadcasts on BBC Radio 3.
This year's festival theme is "Them and Us": exploring whether the world is becoming a more divided place, discussing social inequality, difference and how we define ourselves in relation to others.
Speakers include Michael Igatieff, Lee Hall, Philippa Gregory, Antony Beevor, Amos Oz, Tom Holland, Mona Siddiqui, Jeremy Bowen, Julie Bindel, Tony Harrison, Polly Toynbee, Colm Toibin and Andrew Marr.
Plus new drama by Simon Armitage about Olympic torchbearers to be broadcast live from the Baltic.
Now in its seventh year, the Free Thinking Festival of ideas takes place at The Sage Gateshead 2-4 November and is produced and broadcast by BBC Radio 3. It's a platform for today's innovative thinkers, who debate the ideas shaping our world.

Karine Polwart in Session
Mary Ann Kennedy with tracks from across the globe, plus a studio session with Scottish singer-songwriter Karine Polwart.
Karine formed her first band at the age of 10, known as KP and the Minichips. She completed a degree in politics and philosophy, and this has always been reflected in her songwriting: her new album 'Traces' includes songs about the Occupy movement outside St Paul's Catherdral, as well as Donald Trump's controversial golf club development in Aberdeenshire. It also features a warm tribute to a late neighbour, and a song about the mixed emotions on leaving a family home.
