Composers from many eras and styles have depicted themes of childhood, and Rob Cowan's selection includes the very varied views of Schumann, Elgar, Debussy and Prokofiev. The Bach cantata of the week is No. 126: Erhalt uns, Herr, bei deinem Wort (Uphold us, Lord, within thy word), and Rob starts a new short season of single movement symphonies with Scriabin's "Poem of Ecstasy".
Michael Berkeley's guest this week is Sir George young MP. A keen fan of opera, Sir George's musical choices range from Mozart (Don Giovanni) and Verdi (Don Carlos) to Gilbert and Sullivan (The Pirates of Penzance). Choral music is also a passion of Sir George - with excerpts from Haydn's Nelson Mass and Donizetti's Messa di Gloria - and his love of chamber music is reflected by Schubert's Quartettsatz and Hummel's Octet Partita.
For centuries it's been widely accepted that the composer Daniel Purcell was the younger brother of the more celebrated Henry. Now, though, it's thought that they may actually have been cousins rather than brothers. Apart from a much loved Magnificat & Nunc Dimittis, Daniel Purcell's music has remained largely in the shadow of his older relative, but thanks to a handful of recent recordings, it's now being considered much more on its own merits.
Lucie Skeaping looks at the life and music of Daniel Purcell, with performances from the Parnassian Ensemble, Chichester Cathedral Chor, and violinist Hazel Brooks and harpsichordist David Pollock, who have recently released some of Purcell's previously unrecorded chamber music.
The BBC Philharmonic, conducted by Juanjo Mena, perform Korngold's Violin Concerto with Renaud Capuçon and Falla's The Three-Cornered Hat, plus music by Oliver Knussen and Turina.

The BBC Philharmonic start this concert with a bang, courtesy of Oliver Knussen's colourful 'Flourish with Fireworks'! Star violinist Renaud Capuçon then takes us to Hollywood, with Korngold's Violin Concerto, recycled from the scores he had composed for a number of films, including The Prince and the Pauper. We return to Europe for the rest of the programme, and to Juanjo Mena's native Spain. New Generation Artist Clara Mouriz joins the orchestra for Turina's evocative song cycle and Falla's kaleidoscopic score for his tale of everyday Spanish folk, The Three-Cornered Hat.
Choral Evensong from Aldeburgh Parish Church, Suffolk with the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge.
The first of a special series of programmes presented by leading figures in the choral world. Today, voice expert and choral director Suzi Digby presents her pick of the world's best youth choirs and invites two experts in choral training to discuss some of the challenges and joys of working with young singers.
Scenes of the people and landscape of Germany. Through the bawdy songs of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana to the romantic poetry of Bertolt Brecht, this week's edition of Words and Music describes a collection of images: sublime mountains, temperate forests, or the Lorelei on the eastern bank of the Rhine. And we meet some of the inhabitants: the bishop at Freiburg Station; the author struck down with sunstroke; and the pedant who keeps his 'nice piece of joinery', a gramophone, locked away during the day.
With music from Bach, Brahms and Mendelssohn and words by Brecht, Sylvia Plath and Christopher Isherwood. The readers are Lisa Dillon and Patrick Kennedy.
Will Self broadcasts an imaginary archive of modernist radio and discusses the influence of modernism today.
In a secret laboratory underneath the BBC archive there is a small room containing a special machine. It's a BBC prototype 'RP-1 Ethermatic remitter'. An experimental machine designed to retrieve ('remit') past radio signals back out of the air. Although partially successful during field trials in 1922 it was never made fully operational...until now.
Will Self has been given access to the machine to investigate the relationship between early radio technology and modern culture. Taking his cue from the Wasteland and Ulysses - both published as the RP-1 was developed - he will be drawing from the air an assemblage of modernist art and ideas using the very technologies that enabled them. In doing so he hopes to create something that isn't simply about modernism and its after effects but is itself a modernist work.
Around these Will has conducted a series of conversations at the South Bank Centre and Brunel University with leading cultural thinkers such as John Gray, John Carey and John Mullan about the value and use of Modernist ideas now.
A new play by Craig Warner. Inspired by the libretto to Puccini's opera Tosca, but set under a more modern, violently oppressive regime - where men and women have fought to resist the domination of a malign government. Baron Scarpia's musings on the nature of power, and on his love for the opera singer, Tosca, give way to a cat-and-mouse game in which the stakes are all-or-nothing. But inspired to fight for her lover Cavaradossi, Tosca's arsenal holds weapons against which Scarpia has no defence.
Baron Scarpia ..... Stephen Dillane
Floria Tosca ..... Kate Fleetwood
Mario Cavaradossi ..... Joseph Millson
Rospo ..... Samuel Barnett
Craig Warner is a playwright and screenwriter who lives and works in Suffolk.
Mary Ann Kennedy makes a musical tour of Canada's Cape Breton Island, where three distinct cultures are embraced in one community. She visits a session at the celebrated Red Shoe Pub, with music from the island's Celtic tradition of folk fiddling; some of the island's Scots Gaelic speakers sing traditional songs; there is music from the Mi'kmaq aboriginal people; and she joins in a kitchen party with some home-grown music from the island's French Acadians.
Featured artists include Glenn Graham, who also talks about Cape Breton's folk history; Chrissy Crowley, one of the young generation of folk fiddlers; singer Mary Jane Lamond, who invites the local Gaelic community to a 'milling frolic', a traditional Scots work-party with music; Beverley and Joel Denny, who sing in the Mi'kmaq village of Eskasoni; and French Acadians Celeste, Weldon and Delores Boudreau - none of whom are related.
Julian Joseph interviews extraordinary New York Jazz Singer Tessa Souter, quoted in the Boston Globe as "One of the finest and most fearless jazz vocalists to have emerged in recent years". Souter's own hauntingly evocative lyrics are set to exquisite classical melodies, and she is partnered with six of the jazz world's elite -- pianist Steve Kuhn's superlative trio with bassist David Finck and drummer Billy Drummond, vibraphone master Joe Locke, saxophonist Joel Frahm, and Gary Versace on accordion. Her new release "Beyond the Blue".
Julian talks to her prior to her Pizza Express Jazz Club visit on 9th February.
Also on the show, Julian features the 2nd part of a concert at Edinburgh's Jazz Bar with Phil Robson's Immeasurable Code, which was recorded last September.

Avison and Stanley (1709-1770 and 1712-1786)
Avison and Poverty
Donald Macleod presents the life and music of contemporary eighteenth century English composers Charles Avison and John Stanley. They were almost exact contemporaries, but living and working at opposite ends of the country, Avison in Newcastle and Stanley in London. They might be little known now, but in their day they were leading organists, composers, conductors and concert managers, employed by Royalty and admired by Geminiani and Handel.
We start with Avison, born on the banks of the Tyne in straitened circumstances, his father scraped a living as a member of the town band, and when he died, young Charles was taken up by a local patron of the arts and MP. It was a relationship which would enable Avison to find his way from the poverty of his childhood to a position as a prominent Newcastle musician.

MON 14:00 Afternoon Concert (b01qdzcq)
Cleveland Orchestra
Episode 1
Penny Gore explores some recent concert performances by the Cleveland Orchestra.
Founded in 1918 and often referred to as one of America's 'Big Five,' the Cleveland Orchestra is justly famed for its 'European sound.' This characteristically warm yet incisive sound, honed by the Hungarian-born George Szell during his legendary twenty four year reign as the orchestra's Music Director from 1946, was largely maintained by his successors, Lorin Maazel (1972-82) and Christoph von Dohnányi (1984-2002). Franz Welser-Möst, the orchestra's current Music Director, has retained the fabled warm sound yet over the past decade he has expanded both the repertoire and the stylistic flexibility of his orchestra in music ranging from Bach to the contemporary. The recordings heard this week were all made in the past season at the Cleveland Orchestra's Severance Hall home. This imposing edifice was purpose built in 1931, and now newly refurbished, it is considered to be one of the most beautiful concert halls in the world.

Live from St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, London
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
The BBC Singers, conducted by Paul Brough, with a programme of choral sea songs and maritime music.
arr Moeran: The Sailor and Young Nancy
Coleridge-Taylor: Sea Drift
Orlandus Lassus: De profundis clamavi
Richard Rodney Bennett: Sea Change
Maritime subjects - real and imaginary, triumphant and tragic - have always been a source of fascination for poets and composers, and in this concert the BBC Singers conjure up a series of musical seascapes from Moeran, Coleridge-Taylor, Bantock and two Renaissance masters. Richard Rodney Bennett, who died just a few weeks ago, composed his typically imaginative and creative settings of Elizabethan words in 1984. Canticum Calamitatis Maritimae by Finnish composer Mantyjarvi was composed after the sinking of the MS Estonia and the loss of over 800 lives at sea in 1994, while Steve Martland's new Sea Songs (here receiving its English premiere) references a range of sea songs and texts.
MON 20:25 The Story of Music Question Time (b01qfggy)
National Anthems and Guilty Secrets
Sue and Tom wonder why so many national anthems sound the same, argue over why orchestras need conductors at all, and look at famous composers' "guilty secrets" - the compositions they'd rather you forgot...
If you could ask BBC Radio 3 one question about music, what would it be? Sue Perkins and Tom Service are here to unravel everything you've ever wondered about music - but were too afraid to ask...

MON 22:00 Night Waves (b01qdzcv)
Richard III Bones, Victorian Cross-Dressing, Hitchcock, Jared Diamond
Matthew Sweet discusses the King in the car park. What does the University of Leicester's new discovery about Richard III's bones reveal about one of Britain's most vilified monarchs? With historian Jonathan Healey and human remains sociologist Tiffany Jenkins.
We review the new film Hitchcock, and the intrigue surrounding the role that his wife, Alma, had to play in his career and reputation. With Nathalie Morris from the BFI
Matthew talks to Pulitzer Prize-winning geographer Jared Diamond, whose new thought-provoking study of tribes from New Guinea to the Kalahari Desert asks what we can learn from such societies.
And we look at cross-dressing in the late nineteenth century with biographer Neil McKenna. The extraordinary story and sensationalist trial of Fanny and Stella sent ripples through Victorian propriety.
Produced by Farah Jassat.
MON 22:45 The Essay (b01qdzcx)
Changing Climates
Turned Out Nice Again - On Living With the Weather
Richard Mabey tells the story of a lifetime of weather in five blasts.
When Hurricane Sandy's siege of New York in the autumn of 2012 was promptly followed by wave upon wave of marauding floods in Britain, the closing act in a year of numbing gloom and damp, the idea of 'global warming' began to sound a rather black joke. Ten years ago, some optimists were relishing the prospects of olive groves on the South Downs. Now it looks as if we may be heading full steam for the condition of Newfoundland.
Producer: Tim Dee.
MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 (b01qdzcz)
Trish Clowes
Saxophonist and BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Trish Clowes is making a name for herself by exploring the ground between jazz and contemporary classical music, and performs here with a nonet that does just that. Appropriately then, the group brings together a jazz quintet (featuring special guest pianist Gwilym Simcock) and a string quartet, with the lines between them blurred by a shared refinement of sound and willingness to improvise. Clowes' strongly lyrical music shifts between textures that are sometimes groove-led, sometimes closer to classical chamber music in their detail, with this gig featuring material from her recently released second album 'And In The Night-time She Is There'.
Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producers: Peggy Sutton & Phil Smith.

Avison and Stanley (1709-1770 and 1712-1786)
Avison and a Succession of Disputes
Conductor and composer Charles Avison seemed to have quite a talent for annoying eighteenth century Tynesiders. In 1752 he had the cheek to publish his thoughts on music in his Essay on Musical Expression. This partly consisted of criticising Handel and even Vivaldi for being "defective in various Harmony". His detractors aired their opinions in the newspapers and there was quite a to-do. A few years later, Avison was forced to offer to resign after a fuss over the transferability of tickets for his series of concerts. Nobody volunteered to take over, so he managed to hang on to his job - just - amid further rumblings in the press ...

Daniel Harding (conductor)
Mark-Anthony Turnage, one of the leading British composers of his generation, begins a mini-residency with the London Symphony Orchestra tonight, continuing on Thursday with the word premiere of his orchestral work 'Speranza'. The LSO's Principal Guest Conductor Daniel Harding is joined in this concert by Swedish trumpet virtuoso Haken Hardenberger in a piece described by The Times as 'outstanding: the music begins hellishly but gradually picks up a bluesy swing. I was mesmerised.' Daniel Harding can already look back on a glittering conducting career, yet he is still only in his thirties: he is currently also Music Director of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, and is a regular guest with the Vienna Philharmonic and the Dresden Staatskapelle. We look forward also to his interpretations of Sibelius' portrayal of the Finnish forest God Tapio, and Beethoven's mighty 'Erioca'.

TUE 22:00 Night Waves (b01qdzrk)
Eugene Onegin, Biotechnology, Extinction, Liberty and Security
Kasper Holten - the Royal Opera House's new Director of Opera - makes his much anticipated debut with Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin. Will it be as radical as his recent Ring Cycle for Royal Danish Opera? Opera Now Editor Ashutosh Khandekhar joins Philip Dodd to review.
Philip talks to psychologist Bertolt Meyer, the model for the world's first complete bionic human and recipient of a bionic arm. Is biotechnology now surpassing nature?
Should we be worried if species disappear off the face of the earth? A new exhibition at the Natural History Museum in London looks at the positive sides of extinction. With palaeontologist Norman Macleod, scientist Georgina Mace and psycho-geographer and poet Iain Sinclair.
And are the notions of liberty and security antithetical? Philip speaks to the lawyer Conor Gearty, who argues we live in a so-called democratic world where proclamations on universal liberty and security are mocked by facts on the ground.
Produced by Anne Khazam.
TUE 22:45 The Essay (b01qdzsl)
Changing Climates
Air-Songs and Moon-Bows
Richard Mabey tells the story of a lifetime of weather in five blasts.
We all love to yarn about astonishing weather occurrences. And we're oddly proud of them. They didn't just happen, they happened to us. There are plaques on seaside buildings to commemorate the highest floods. National forecasters regularly announce, as if they are giving away end-of-term prizes, the highest temperatures, the deepest snowfalls, the earliest frosts, though on a scale that might be more appropriate for a local history project. "Rainiest day in Manchester for four years" is hardly of record-breaking interest for the rest of us, but it is for the people who live there. There is, from our ringside seats at the oddball weather circus, an intriguing interplay between freak-show and something more neighbourly and local.
Producer: Tim Dee.

Avison and Stanley (1709-1770 and 1712-1786)
Avison Falls into Depression
By the time he reached his 50s, eighteenth century composer Charles Avison was a huge success, teaching, conducting, performing and publishing music in his home town of Newcastle. But times were about to change as London's passion for outdoor concerts reached the north of England. Avison ranted about the "flood of nonsense" offered in the way of music at these events and looked back fondly on the good old days, when music wasn't only about how many tickets you could sell. He was further depressed by the deaths of his wife and his great friend and mentor, Francesco Geminiani. Meanwhile, in London, his almost exact contemporary, John Stanley, was carving out an impressive career of his own, despite being blinded in an accident when he was just a toddler.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra are at home tonight at the Maida Vale Studios in London, joined by the young American conductor Joshua Weilerstein, one of the two Assistant Conductors at the New York Philharmonic. The suite from Stavinsky's ballet Pulcinella begins the concert. Composed at the request of Diaghilev and based on the music of the baroque Italian master Pergolesi, Pulcinella is often considered the first example of Stravinsky's neoclassical period. Then another young musician joins the fray with Belgian cellist David Cohen performing Samuel Barber's Cello Concerto. Completed in 1945, at a time when the American composer was incorporating modernism into his work, the use of syncopated rhythm here reflects some influence of Stravinsky. The BBC Symphony Orchestra's concert is rounded off with a performance of Dvorak's cheerful eighth symphony, which draws inspiration from Bohemian folk music.

Strauss - Ariadne auf Naxos
Opera matinee: Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos from the Vienna State Opera
General Music Director, Franz Welser-Möst conducts his Vienna forces in Richard Strauss re-telling of the myth of Ariadne. But with typical ingenuity, Strauss and his librettist, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, combine the serious classical story with commedia dell'arte slapstick as high and low art vie with one another for the public's attention. This version of the opera, first heard in Vienna in 1916 contains some of the most Strauss's most beautiful music.

LSO - Sibelius, Beethoven, Turnage
Live from Barbican Hall, London
Presented by Martin Handley
Daniel Harding conducts the LSO in Sibelius and a world premiere by Turnage. They are joined by Lars Vogt for Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto
Sibelius: Oceanides
Beethoven: Piano Concerto no.3 in C minor, Op.37

Mark-Anthony Turnage: Speranza (world premiere)
Lars Vogt (piano)
London Symphony Orchestra
Daniel Harding (conductor)
Mark-Anthony Turnage's Speranza ('Hope'), commissioned by the LSO and tonight receiving its first performance, is a monument to the power of optimism in a bleak world - 'I started working on the piece while thinking about the absence of hope. I wanted to lift people up.'
Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto offers the composer's trademark thundering drama juxtaposed with sweet grace.
While Sibelius's Tapiola spoke of forest gods, his tone poem Oceanides breathes life into the female water spirits of Greek mythology.
THU 22:00 Night Waves (b01qdzrr)
Man Ray, Paris, William Dalrymple, Oliver James

As a major retrospective of the surrealist portrait photographer Man Ray opens at the National Portrait Gallery, Anne discusses his work with writer Kevin Jackson and film critic and Parisienne Ginette Vincendeau.
And all three are joined by cultural historian Andrew Hussey to discuss the artistic melting pot in which Ray worked: the Paris of the 1910s and Roaring 20s, which is the subject of the second major event at The Rest is Noise Festival at the South Bank centre in London.
Psychologist Oliver James discusses office politics and how to thrive in what he sees as an increasingly ruthless workplace. With leadership expert and author Dr Liz Mellon.

Even Royalty approved, and in 1779 Stanley succeeded William Boyce as Master of His Majesty's Music. Presented by Donald Macleod.

Tadaaki Otaka was Principal Conductor of BBC NOW in the late 1980s and developed the orchestra into the force that it is today. As Conductor Laureate, he's still held in high regard by players and audience alike. Music by Beethoven and Shostakovich embody a heroic sense of human struggle in the face of overwhelming adversity. Beethoven's Coriolan overture embodies all the drama of Shakespeare's play in just 8 minutes. Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony is a social outcast's defiant reply to the state and its 1937 premiere restored his reputation. The lyrical bitter-sweet nostalgia of Prokofiev's Second Violin Concerto is played by rising star Sayaka Shoji.

James Yorkston, Polarbear, Sophie Hannah, John Hegley
Ian McMillan presents Radio 3's 'Cabaret of the Word' from Gorilla in Manchester with James Yorkston, Polarbear, Sophie Hannah and John Hegley.
James Yorkston is a folk musician from Fife and an early member of the group of artists known as 'The Fence Collective'. His songs have been described as being 'not so much written, as carefully retrieved from your own subconscious, played with an intuition bordering on telepathy.' He plays new songs from the album 'I was a Cat from a Book' ( Domino), 'Border Song' and 'A Short Blues'.
The incomparable John Hegley began his poetry career in 1980, and is now publishing his 19th book - 'Love, Peace and Potatoes' (Serpent's Tail). He shares poems about his grandparents and performs new work commissioned for 'The Verb', addressed to one of his favourite writers, DH Lawrence.
Sophie Hannah is the author of six internationally bestselling psychological thrillers - the latest of which is 'The Carrier' (Hodder and Stoughton). She explains why she created a character who confesses to a murder but claims he has 'no motive'.
