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.

Sound of Cinema: Chaplin and Music

Charlie Chaplin's role as a pioneering actor, comedian and film maker we know. Less well known is his work as a film composer.

SAT 14:00 Saturday Classics (b03br08r)
Sound of Cinema: Terence Stamp

The iconic English actor Terence Stamp was introduced to classical music during the 1960s by his friend Michael Caine. But his musical influences stem from his East End childhood, films that he saw and an early trip with his aunt to see Bizet's Carmen at Sadlers Wells. The result is that he is a passionate lover of classical music. In this special "Sound of Cinema" edition of Saturday Classics he presents two hours of his favourite music including works by the film composer Alfred Newman, by Delibes, Borodin, Rodrigo. Dick Barton makes an appearance, as do Jimi Hendrix and KD Lang, all linked one way or another, to Terence Stamp's distinguished life and career.


SAT 16:00 Sound of Cinema (b03br08t)
Pastoral Unease and Bucolic Menace

Matthew Sweet presents the first of a weekly series of programmes celebrating film music, and with the re-release of Robin Hardy's The Wicker Man there's a heady mix about life in the British countryside in today's selection.

Friday 27th September sees the re-release of Robin Hardy's cult British film The Wicker Man. On the occasion of its fortieth anniversary, Matthew Sweet looks back at the film's imaginative score - which Christopher Lee described as being some of the best music he's heard in a film - and takes it as a springboard to explore film music which evokes the uneasy and sometimes sinister side of British rural life, as portrayed in the music for the screen.

Featured scores include Sir Gawain and the Green Knight from 1973 with music by Ron Goodwin; Witchfinder General from 1968 with music by Paul Ferris; James Bernard's music for the 1957 Hound of the Baskervilles; Erich Korngold's music for The Adventures of Robin Hood; Marc Wilkinson's score for Blood On Satan's Claw; Ilan Eshkeri's Stardust; Patrick Doyle's music for Brave; and music for the 2013 film A Field in England.

SAT 19:30 Radio 3 Live in Concert (b03br090)
BBC Philharmonic - Burgess, Brahms, Elgar

Live from The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester

Presented by Catherine Bott

The BBC Philharmonic, conducted by Juanjo Mena, performs Anthony Burgess's A Manchester Overture, Brahms's Piano Concerto No 1 with Stephen Hough and Elgar's Symphony No 1.

Burgess: A Manchester Overture
Brahms: Piano Concerto No 1 in D minor

8.35 Interval Music

8.55
Elgar: Symphony No 1 in A flat

BBC Philharmonic
Juanjo Mena (conductor)
Stephen Hough (piano)

When Elgar's First Symphony was premiered in Manchester in 1908, it was a new dawn for British music. There's no better way to launch the BBC Philharmonic's year-long celebration of the Mancunian way of music-making than with this gloriously stirring masterpiece - although a performance of Brahms's tempestuous First Piano Concerto by the Manchester-trained Stephen Hough might just run it close. The concert begins with the aptly named A Manchester Overture by Mancunian icon and author of A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess.


SAT 22:00 Hear and Now (b03br092)
Sara Mohr-Pietsch introduces a recording of a concert given in Eindhoven earlier this year by Ilan Volkov and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in collaboration with artists from Iceland's Bedroom Community label, including works by Valgeir Sigurdsson and Daniel Bjarnason, plus Nico Muhly's Cello Concerto with soloist Oliver Coates. The South Bank Centre's Gillian Moore gives us a preview some of the new music events to be featured this autumn as part of the year-long The Rest is Noise season, and we hear works for piano by American composers Philip Glass and Missy Mazzoli performed by Bruce Brubaker in a concert recorded at London's King's Place in May.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b03br1m8)
Sound of Cinema: Beeban Kidron

Beeban Kidron is a rare and very unpredictable film-maker. A woman in a man's world, she's made highly successful dramas such as the BAFTA-winning Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, and the blockbusting rom-com Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. But she also makes documentaries which come straight from her heart: films about sex workers in New York, the women of Greenham Common, the sculptor Antony Gormley, and a highly-acclaimed film about girls sold into religious prostitution in India. And her latest film In Real Life is a documentary about teenagers and the internet.

She talks to Michael Berkeley about the power of music in films, the pleasures of building relationships with composers, the joy of telling stories, and the sheer determination needed to make the films she feels so passionately about.

Her choices include music from her film Swept from the Sea and her BAFTA-winning television series Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit; the music of her childhood; the piece which changed her ideas about love; and the scariest film music ever written.

Producer: Jane Greenwood.
A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3.

SUN 14:00 The Early Music Show (b03brsbw)
Scarlatti's Vocal Music

Catherine Bott looks at the vocal and choral music of Domenico Scarlatti, best known today for his 555 keyboard sonatas. Having grown up in Italy with a rather domineering opera composer as a father, it was inevitable that Scarlatti should have picked up some of his musical influences from the stage, and from the church. By the time Scarlatti settled in Lisbon in the 1720s to work for the Portuguese royal family, he was already one of the best-known opera composers in Europe and had a reputation for his sacred works, approved by the Vatican.
Now, most of his vocal and choral music is lost (a good deal of it in the disastrous earthquake which hit Lisbon in 1755), and his reputation rests on the more than five hundred keyboard sonatas he wrote for his famous pupil, Princess Maria Barbara of Portugal.
This programme includes excerpts from Scarlatti's operas "La Dirindina" and "La Constesa delle Stagione", and from his Stabat Mater, Salve Regina and Te Deum.

SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature (b03brsc5)
Fear and Trembling in Copenhagen - In Search of Soren Kierkegaard

Nigel Warburton travels to Copenhagen to explore the life and writings of Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard - often called the father of existentialism - in his bicentenary year.

In Denmark today the name Kierkegaard evokes a mix of pride and uncertainty. His mix of earnestness and irony - angst and comedy, influenced many thinkers and writers in the twentieth century: from Wittgenstein, Jean Paul Sartre and W H Auden, to Woody Allen. But he remains difficult to categorise.

His name means 'graveyard' - fitting for a man often referred to as the father of existentialism: now a byword for angst and despair. But Kierkegaard was an eccentric, paradoxical writer, who can be read in many ways. An anti-intellectualist yet profoundly intellectual; deeply Christian but relentlessly critical of the Church; a philosopher, who hated most philosophy, and a poet, some even say a novelist, who never really wrote poems or novels.

On location in Denmark Nigel Warburton travels to his old apartments and walks the streets this eccentric man took his inspiration from. He also visits the cathedral which Kierkegaard spent his last years attacking, and asks what this controversial Christian thinker can offer us in a highly secular age.

SUN 22:00 Drama on 3 (b03brscp)
You Never Can Tell

A starry cast in George Bernard Shaw's dazzling romantic comedy from 1897, in a production directed by Martin Jarvis. The play follows a battle of the sexes beside the seaside, with marital mayhem and social strategy.

Mrs Clandon (Rosalind Ayres) celebrated New Woman, returns to England from Madeira, with her three grown children. In Torbay they meet Valentine (Jamie Bamber), an impecunious dentist. The offspring know nothing of their father, but they'll need one in British polite society. Valentine introduces the Clandons to his landlord, Mr Crampton (Christopher Neame.) Guess who he turns out to be?

Valentine is besotted by gorgeous Gloria Clandon (Sophie Winkleman). But in accepting him it's clear who'll be wearing the Shavian trousers. Matters are resolved by old William-the-waiter (Ian Ogilvy), his QC son (Julian Holloway) and cynical solicitor (Adam Godley.) Gloria's feisty twin siblings (Moira Quirk and Matthew Wolf) satirise everybody and it's barrister Bohun whom Gloria allows to have the first dance. As the waiter remarks: 'You never can tell, sir.' Richard Sisson's piano arrangements reflect the sea-breezy emotions of these engaging characters.

Piano music arranged and performed by Richard Sisson

John Williams: Close Encounters Suite.


MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b01pmfg2)
John Williams (1932-)

Meeting Spielberg

John Williams talks to Donald Macleod about a date with a young rookie director that changed movie history. Williams discusses the lunch meeting with Steven Spielberg in 1972 that precipitated one of the cinema's greatest partnerships - as well as introducing his pioneering score to Spielberg's "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind".

Before that, we hear about Williams's early life in jazz, working with Henry Mancini and André Previn, and composing big band jazz scores for television - including the detective drama Checkmate. The composer discusses his experiences in the hothouse film and TV studios of the 1960s, and introduces his score to the TV film Jane Eyre, for which he visited the Yorkshire Dales.

The programme ends with the first of a series of Williams's concert works - the pungently dissonant, Bartók-tinged Flute Concerto from 1969.

MON 14:00 Afternoon Concert (b03brtnh)
Sound of Cinema

Walt Disney and Ingmar Bergman

Sound of Cinema. Penny Gore presents a week of music used at the cinema

All this week in Afternoon on 3 Penny Gore looks at music choices made by movie directors. Music can set the scene, convey mood, define a character - all manner of things in movies, and many directors have had strong views on what they want - or don't want. This week Penny Gore presents in complete performances music used by some of the master movie directors.

Monday:

Walt Disney and Ingmar Bergman

Walt Disney's "Fantasia" has probably introduced more people to Classical music than any other film, and Mickey Mouse as the hapless and helpless Sorcerer's Apprentice is a good example of image and music working supremely well together.

On the other hand Beethoven's 9th Symphony, and particularly the "Ode to Joy" final movement and its clarion call for universal brotherhood have obvious appeal, but perhaps the scale and brilliance of the music make its appearances on film less satisfying - from Andrei Tarkovsky's "Nostalghia" and Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" to "Ace Ventura Pet Detective".

Ingmar Bergman had a very particular relationship with music - he is quoted as describing himself as the conductor of a movie rather than a director, and when asked which sense he would rather lose - vision or hearing - he chose sight as he said he couldn't live without music. In "Saraband" (2003) tangled family and generational relationships founder and the sarabande from Bach's 5th Cello Suite is at the core of the plot of loss, mental illness and attempted suicide.

We end the afternoon in New York - Mozart's Overture to The Marriage of Figaro opens John Landis's comedy "Trading Places" in which rich city banker Dan Aykroyd and down-and-out Eddie Murphy reverse roles one winter in a morality tale set against the backdrop of the New York Stock Exchange. And Woody Allen's 1979 film "Manhattan" was inspired in part by Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue - New York is the backdrop to the movie but it becomes more like one of the characters.

Opera on 3 from the Royal Opera House Covent Garden. Magda enjoys a comfortable life as the mistress of the rich banker Rambaldo, but this all changes when she meets the young Ruggero who falls in love with her. She leaves Rambaldo for him, but is she really in love with Ruggero, or just trying to recreate the exciting romances of her youth? Angela Gheorghiu sings Madga, the restless swallow in the title of Puccini's light opera La Rondine, with Charles Castronovo as her unfortunate lover. Marco Amiliato conducts the Royal Opera House Orchestra in Puccini's little-known but very tuneful score.

MON 22:00 Night Waves (b03brtnp)
Clash of Civilizations, Simon Heffer, George Grosz

It's twenty years since the publication of Samuel Huntington's essay, The Clash of Civilizations?, in which he asserted that the roots of future global conflicts lay not in ideology or resources but rather in deep cultural and religious difference. Philip Dodd and guests Douglas Murray, Maria Misra and Gideon Rose discuss whether Huntington's ideas offer a useful way of thinking about shifting global relations today.

Simon Heffer's new book, High Minds, explores the four decades between the 1840s and 1880s in which the country was transformed from a nation full of unrest and uncertainty to one in which the foundations of modern Britain had been laid.

A new exhibition of the work of George Grosz is devoted to his satirical depictions of bourgeois life in Berlin during the Weimar years. It is the first major exhibition dedicated to the artist in the UK since the Royal Academy's retrospective almost 20 years ago. The painter's savage portraits of the military, the hypocrisy of the middle classes and his graphic images of a shadowy world of crime and sex made Grosz so many enemies that he had to learn boxing and judo to defend himself.


MON 22:45 The Essay (b03brtnr)
Sound of Cinema: You Ain't Heard Nothing Yet

The Sounds of Early Cinema

The live music and sound effects, the unruly audiences, the performers paid to interpret mysterious foreign intertitles, the usherettes spraying the audience with disinfectant. Matthew Sweet explores the sound-world of cinema's beginnings, from the orchestras of big-budget epics to the small improvising bands of the fleapits - and discovers how their ghosts haunt the modern cinemagoing experience.

First broadcast September 2013.


MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 (b03brtnt)
Vision Festival 2013

For all that it celebrates and promotes counter-cultural music, New York's Vision Festival has become something of an institution. Now in its 18th year, the festival puts the spotlight on the avant-jazz scene of the lower east side of the city, also programming international musicians who share its innovative disregard for convention. Jazz on 3 features highlights from this year's event.

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (b01pmfz3)
John Williams (1932-)

Star Wars

Star Wars: the greatest movie score of all time (according to the American Film Institute) - exclusively introduced by the composer himself on BBC Radio 3.

John Williams talks to Donald Macleod about the most famous film score in history. He discusses the moment George Lucas proposed his "space opera", and explains why he chose the 'old-fashioned', lush Romantic style of Tchaikovsky and Korngold to accompany this futuristic tale of aliens and spaceships.

We'll hear some of the most memorable musical moments from the first three films to be made (Episodes IV-VI), including the iconic Main Title, the Imperial March, and Luke and Leia's Theme. Donald Macleod also introduces perhaps the finest extended musical sequence in the series: Williams's mesmerising score to the battle on the ice planet of Hoth.

The programme ends with a deeply personal work in Williams's career - his Violin Concerto, written by the grieving composer after the tragic death of his first wife, Barbara Ruick Williams; a tragedy that overshadowed the huge success his music enjoyed in the mid 1970s.

Werner Herzog and Roman Polanski

Sound of Cinema. Penny Gore presents a week of music used in movies.

Werner Herzog and Roman Polanski

At the Oscars ceremony in the spring of 1985, Maurice Jarre - winner of the award for Best Original Score (A Passage to India), remarked that we was glad that an obvious contender was not eligible in the category. This was the year of "Amadeus" - Milos Forman's screen adaptation of Peter Schaffer's play which came away with 8 Oscars including the Best Actor award for F Murray Abraham as Salieri. In one scene Constanze Mozart is looking for Salieri's support for her financially struggling husband. She shows him some of her husband's scores, and we hear the opening of Mozart's Symphony No 29 in A as Salieri becomes more and more dumbfounded by Mozart's ability.

From the Imperial Austro-Hungarian Court to the Brazilian jungle.

Many Movie directors have at some point tried their hand in opera houses. Werner Herzog produced Wagner's Lohengrin at the Bayreuth Festival in 1987 - he also made a film of "Wozzeck" which Berg had set to music a generation before. In Herzog's film "Fitzcarraldo", Klaus Kinski, aided by local tribesmen, tries to drag a steam-powered paddle steamer up a hillside in the Brazilian jungle while a wind-up gramophone plays records of the great tenor Caruso, but tucked away in there as well is Richard Strauss's score of Death and Transfiguration.

Roman Polanski has first-hand experience of the Nazi treatment of Jews in Krakow and made "The Pianist" in 2002 - a film account of the wartime experiences of Polish pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman. In "Death and the Maiden" (1994) the scene is moved to an unnamed South American republic, but the same brutality is here as Sigourney Weaver tries to find out whether Ben Kingsley is the ex-fascist who tortured her in the past. All played out to the strains of Schubert's quartet.

Finally, many Classical works have been given nicknames - "Emperor" Concerto,"Pathétique" and "Surprise" symphonies - but is there another Classical work whose nickname comes from a movie title?
Mozart's "Elvira Madigan" concerto only became known as that after the 1967 film about a Danish circus tightrope dancer - who'd have thought it?

Wigmore Hall: Steven Osborne - Beethoven

Steven Osborne plays an all-Beethoven recital, live from the Wigmore Hall, London.

Presented by Martin Handley

Beethoven
7 Bagatelles Op. 33
Piano Sonata No. 21 in C Op. 53 'Waldstein'

8.15 - 8.35: During the interval, Consortium Classicum play Beethoven's Wind Sextet op.71 in E flat major. As Beethoven's contemporary, the Viennese piano maker Anton Streicher commented: if the sounds of the piano are to please then, 'they should resemble as much as possible those of the best wind instruments.'

11 Bagatelles Op. 119
Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor Op. 111

Steven Osborne begins his Wigmore Hall residency with a programme chosen to reflect Beethoven's experimental daring and unique creative genius. He pairs two of the greatest piano sonatas ever written with the Bagatelles Op. 33, written in 1802, and the Bagatelles Op. 119, a group of pieces brought together by their composer in 1822 and first published in London the following year.

Jung Chang, Sarah Lucas, Allende, Everest Music

With Rana Mitter. Bestselling author of Wild Swans, Jung Chang discusses her new biography of the most important woman in Chinese history. Empress Dowager Cixi ruled the countries for decades and according to Jung Chang, brought a medieval empire into the modern age. And yet, until now, she had been portrayed as a diehard conservative despot.

The critics' favourite Young British artist, Sarah Lucas, is given a survey of her anthropomorphic and tragicomic sculptures at the Whitechapel Gallery. Forget Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, according to the art critic Alastair Sooke, she is the most authentic and exciting artist of them of all.

In September 1973 the elected socialist president of Chile Salvador Allende was deposed in a coup that saw the US-backed general Augusto Pinochet take power. In his book 'Story Of A Death Foretold' Oscar Guardiola-Rivera argues these events were important both in the development of a specifically Latin American style of socialism, and in US foreign policy in the second half of the Cold War - a period in which the current doctrine of 'limited intervention' has its roots. Oscar joins Rana along with the US historian Tim Stanley.

And our latest contribution to the Sound of Cinema season: Captain John Noel's extraordinary film about Mallory and Irvine's ill -fated expedition to the Himalayas in 1924- The Epic of Everest. Recently restored, it is due to receive its world premiere at the London Film Festival later this month, complete with a newly commissioned score composed by Simon Fisher Turner.

WED 12:00 Composer of the Week (b01pmfz5)
John Williams (1932-)

America's Composer

John Williams talks to Donald Macleod about working with Steven Spielberg on the Holocaust drama, Schindler's List - and how he approached the enormous challenge of writing music to complement such a tragic and harrowing story. We'll hear excerpts from his Oscar-winning score, infused with the inflections of Jewish traditional music.
Before this, a very different - and much loved - Spielberg score: Williams's music to the "Indiana Jones" series of films, and the composer's Olympic Fanfare, written for the Los Angeles Summer Games of 1984, and reprised every games since.
We end with a real rarity, and probably a real surprise to many: John Williams's score to Alfred Hitchcock's last film, Family Plot. Williams is one of the very few people in history to have worked closely with both Hitchcock and Spielberg - and he tells us how these two directorial giants compare.

Luchino Visconti

Luchino Visconti

From the mid 50s to the late 60s Visconti produced several landmark Verdi operas in La Scala, Spoleto and the Royal Opera House. He had been part of the Italian neorealist cinema movement, along with Roberto Rossellini and Federico Fellini. But by the time he made "Death in Venice" in 1971 he was making more personal films in which decadence, decline and "beauty" become key aesthetics. In Thomas Mann's original novella the role of Aschenbach (Dirk Bogarde) is an author, but Visconti makes him a composer and the Adagietto from Mahler's 5th Symphony appears again and again as Aschenbach watches the "beautiful" youth Tadzio. from afar.

WED 22:00 Night Waves (b03brwn3)
Night Waves at ZSL London Zoo

Landmark: The Old Men at the Zoo

In Night Waves' second outing to London Zoo, Matthew Sweet and guests discuss Angus Wilson's 1961 novel 'The Old Men At The Zoo'.

From institutional in-fighting to our relationship with nature, via nuclear apocalypse, Wilson's novel uses the Zoo as a backdrop to examine some characteristic preoccupations of mid-20th century Britain. Arguably it is the missing link between the grand Victorian tradition of the English novel and the dystopian science fiction of J.G. Ballard. Yet Wilson is rarely read today.

Matthew is joined by Wilson's friend and biographer Margaret Drabble and by the poet and novelist Iain Sinclair to make a case for a Wilson revival.

'The Old Men At The Zoo' was dramatised for TV in 1983, and Matthew is also joined by the series producer Jonathan Powell, who went on to be Controller of BBC1, along with production manager Margot Hayhoe.

Produced by Luke Mulhall.

Music of the fantastical and the fabulous today, as John Williams explains to Donald Macleod how he created his scores for Jurassic Park and to the Harry Potter series - with musical highlights from the first three Williams-scored films, in which the composer's love of Viennese waltzes, big band jazz, and Victorian Gothic are given free rein...

After a unique concerto for bassoon and orchestra, inspired by trees and the writings of Robert Graves, John Williams introduces a score unique in his output - his music to Spielberg's A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, in which he draws upon the minimalist style of Philip Glass and John Adams to create one of his finest futuristic scores.

Thursday Opera Matinee

Verdi 200 - Un ballo in maschera

Part of Verdi 200 - Radio 3's celebration of Verdi's bicentenary. Today's Opera Matinee is Verdi's Un ballo in maschera - The Masked Ball.

In 1792 King Gustavus III of Sweden was shot and fatally wounded at a masked ball, and this event was the inspiration behind Verdi's opera.

Depicting regicide, even in opera, in 19th century Europe was pretty much taboo, and Verdi had to struggle with censors in Naples and Rome to get the opera performed.

On 9th January 1858 Verdi wrote that he was on his way to Naples for rehearsals and was finishing the the full score. Unfortunately for Verdi, on 14th January three Italians made an assassination attempt on Emperor Napoleon III in Paris and rehearsals came to a sudden end. After a year of legal claims and counter-claims Verdi presented his opera to the censors in Rome who demanded that events in the opera must be completely removed from anywhere in Europe and Verdi moved everything to Boston in the USA. What we are left with is basically one opera with two sets of characters depending on where the opera is set. Today's version is set in Boston.

Riccardo, governor of Boston, is holding a masked ball and is thrilled to see the name of Amelia on the attendance list. Riccardo loves Amelia, who, unfortunately for Riccardo, is already married to Renato, his friend and right-hand man. Renato warns Riccardo of a conspiracy againt him which Riccardo shrugs off, turning instead to an accusation of witchcraft against Ulrica, a fortune-teller. Riccardo is intrigued and with himself and his attendants in disguise sets off to see Ulrica for himself. Riccardo is watching the fortune-teller in action when Amelia appears and confesses that she is attracted to Riccardo, and needs Ulrica's help to settle the situation. Amelia leaves to find a herb in the woods which Ulrica has told her will help. Riccardo reveals himself to Ulrica and demands she tell his fortune. Chillingly, Ulrica tells Riccardo that he will be killed by the next man to shake his hand. Renato appears and unwittingly shakes Riccardo's hand.

In Act 2 Riccardo has met Amelia in the woods and they declare their love for each other. Renato appears to warn Riccardo once more of the plot against him, and this time Riccardo takes notice, but asks Renato to take care of the now veiled woman (Amelia) Riccardo has been meeting. Renato fails to identify his own wife Amelia until the consprators arrive and struggle with Renato and Amelia's veil falls to the ground. Renato is shocked, and seeing that his own wife has been meeting Riccardo in the woods, alone and late at night, assumes the worst and vows revenge.

In Act 3 Renato has decided to kill Amelia for the shame his wife has brought on him, but then changes his mind and decides to kill Riccardo instead. Meanwhile Riccardo has decided to do the decent thing and renounce his love for Amelia out of respect for her and Renato's marriage.
The masked ball is in full flow and Renato discovers the identity of Riccardo's costume, confronts him and fatally stabs him. As he dies Riccardo tells Renato that Amelia was true to him, Renato, and never broke her marriage vows.

This performance was recorded at the São Carlos National Theatre in Lisbon in July 2000. Denis O'Neill, Aprile Millo and Lado Atanelli take the three principal roles.

Britten: "Britten in Wartime" (world premiere)

Shostakovich: Symphony No 7 in C major Opus 60 "Leningrad"

Samuel West, narrator
Hallé Orchestra
Mark Elder, conductor

Shostakovich's Symphony No 7, the "Leningrad", was composed during the traumatic siege of Leningrad during the Second World War. The piece became a symbol of resistance and triumph over acute adversity and the score was even smuggled out of war-torn Russia on microfilm so that a performance could be given in America.

Benjamin Britten was himself working for the war effort during this time, and "Britten in Wartime", which has been put together from Britten's manuscripts by composer Colin Matthews, offers an insightful look at the composer's work for radio in 1942, consisting as it does of music Britten composed for propaganda documentaries about British life, aimed at American listeners. Selected passages from the original broadcasts are read by Samuel West, alongside the music.


THU 19:55 Twenty Minutes (b03brxkb)
Sound and Fury

How do sound designers use soundscapes and sound effects to manipulate excitement and emotion in the cinema audience?

Trevor Cox, Professor of Acoustic Engineering, visits Pinewood studios to meet Glenn Freemantle, who subsequently won an Oscar for his work on Gravity. Freemantle describes the extraordinary lengths he went to in order to re-create the soundscape of a remote desert canyon in the 2010 film 127 Hours, so that the cinema audience hears exactly what the climber trapped under a rock for 127 hours hears as he tries to escape. And he shows how to build up the sound in a creepy scene to make the audience feel uneasy.

Trevor Cox also learns how the sound of a futuristic motor bike is created in the latest Judge Dredd film - how does a sound designer create a sound that is incredibly powerful but also believable?

And there's a revealing trip to a screening room in central London to experience the very latest technology in the world of cinematic surround sound.

First broadcast in October 2013.

Ghosts, Slavoj Žižek, Miliband, Melissa Benn

Anne McElvoy discusses Ibsen's Ghosts with directors Richard Eyre and Stephen Unwin, whose respective productions of the play have just opened. The drama provoked outrage when it was published in 1881 with its attack on religion, defence of free love, and subject matter of inherited syphilis. But does it speak to us now?

The Labour Party has been dealing with the ghosts of its intellectual past recently. But how would the left wing politics of Ralph Miliband's generation fare in the climate of current political debate? And how do the politics of today's Shadow Cabinet compare to the thinking of the post-war New Left? Managing editor of Prospect magazine Jonathan Derbyshire and Observer columnist Nick Cohen join Anne to discuss the genealogy of left wing politics in Britain

In his new film, The Pervert's guide to Ideology, the thinker and psychoanalyst Slavoj Žižek takes on the ideology machine of Hollywood and argues that we need to break away from it. He explains that for this to happen we first of all need to change the way we dream.

Melissa Benn asks what messages we are conveying to young women today and considers what advice we should be giving our daughters to empower them for the future.

Other film credits include Lucky Break, An Education, Hanna, and Roman Polanski's The Ghost, for which she won several major awards. On TV, Olivia portrayed British author Jane Austen in Miss Austen Regrets, and was cast as Adelle DeWitt in Joss Whedon's Dollhouse. She writes a monthly column in The Telegraph and is currently starring in Ingmar Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage at the St James Theatre, London.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b01pmfz9)
John Williams (1932-)

Star Wars Revisited

John Williams talks exclusively to Donald Macleod for the final time this week, with Star Wars once more taking centre stage.

Williams discusses the challenges of returning to the Star Wars series, nearly two decades on, and the hidden plot clues buried deep in his music. We'll hear highlights from Williams's brand-new music for the three 'prequels' (Eps I-III), including Duel Of The Fates and the climactic Battle Of The Heroes.

The programme opens with two recent works that throw back to his background in big bands and concert halls - the effervescent, jazz-infused Main Title from Tintin - and a spiky, Stravinskyan Horn Concerto. We also showcase one of Williams's most haunting scores of the previous decade - his music to Rob Marshall's Memoirs of a Geisha.

Donald Macleod ends the week with thoughts on John Williams's career and position as "America's composer", a unique musical voice transcending popular and classical music, and arguably the inheritor of a mantle once held by Gershwin, Copland and Bernstein. The week plays out with Williams's music for the inauguration of Barack Obama as US President in 2008 - his Air and Simple Gifts.

FRI 14:00 Afternoon Concert (b03brxp6)
Sound of Cinema

Stanley Kubrick and David Lean

Stanley Kubrick and David Lean

Director Stanley Kubrick has one of the most interesting relationships with music in film and we begin today with a score which Kubrick used to signify the moment "ape" becomes "man" in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Film and music express a similar idea of man being guided by a higher unseen and unknown power.

After 2001's success, Kubrick was able to borrow from NASA special camera lenses which enabled him to film at the lowest light levels and he made "Barry Lyndon" - after Thackeray's tale of an Irish adventurer in the late 18th century. All the internal shots were lit as naturalistically as possible by candle light and filmed using NASA's lenses, which lends the film a unique ambience.
Ryan O'Neal plays the part of Barry Lyndon, and the movie follows his move up the social ladder and his eventual fall. In one scene Barry Lyndon, comfortable country squire, is standing at the balustrade of his luxurious home looking out at the lush parkland beyond. It looks like Barry Lyndon has reached his life's goal, but as the narrator (Michael Hordern) has already told us moments before, Barry Lyndon came from nothing and he will return to nothing ... and at this moment Kubrick uses the slow movement from Schubert's Trio to catch the mood.

British director David Lean took Noel Coward's one-act play Still Life and transformed it into the 1945 film "Brief Encounter". Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson meet at a railway station and dream about leaving their lives behind and running off together. The slow movement from Rachmaninov's 2nd Piano Concerto captures this doomed love.

FRI 19:30 Radio 3 Live in Concert (b03brxp8)
BBC NOW - Poulenc, Shostakovich

Live from St. David's Hall in Cardiff

Presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas

Thomas Sondergard opens the Cardiff concert season with the BBC National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales with Poulenc's playful Gloria and Shostakovich's powerful Eighth Symphoony, inspired by the Soviet Union's epic struggle during the Second World War.

Poulenc: Gloria

8.00: Music Interval

8.20
Shostakovich: Symphony No 8 in C minor, Op 65

Poulenc's Gloria is one of the most joyous and unihibited settings of this sacred text, so much so that the Catholic establishment frowned on the work for being too frivolous. Poulenc was born into an ardently catholic family, and returned to his faith in 1936 after a period of neglect, following the death of his friend and fellow composer Pierre Octave Ferroud in a tragic motor accident. His faith permeated many of his works after, including motets, a mass and a setting of the Stabat Mater, alongside his opera Dialogues des Carmelites, but his music retained the simplicity and directness of his secular musical style. Poulenc has been described as "part monk, part guttersnipe", but the composer felt no such contradition. After all, he had seen both Benedictine monks enjoying a game of football, and fifteenth-century Italian frescos by Gozzoli, in which angels poke their tongues out in good-natured fun.

Thomas Sondergard conducted Shostakovich's Eleventh Symphony at the 2013 BBC Proms to great critical acclaim. He follows it at this concert with the the Eighth, written during the Second World War, during the summer of 1943. The Eighth is a symphony of immense drama and intensity, but it's not just a monument to appalling times, it's also a great work of absolute music, in which the notes look beyond the surroundings, a truly heroic work of art.

FRI 22:45 The Essay (b03brwnk)
Sound of Cinema: You Ain't Heard Nothing Yet

Matthew Sweet

What happens when cinema shuts up? Matthew Sweet explores those moments when the talkie stops talking and cuts the music dead: the final minutes of William Wyler's Roman Holiday; the heist in Rififi; Oliver Hardy's long despairing look into the camera lens. He also listens hard to those cinematic sounds being silenced by digital technology from the fizz of a reel-change to the wear and tear on a film's soundtrack and asks what we have lost now that cinema is no longer a physical, photochemical medium.


FRI 23:00 World on 3 (b03brxpb)
Session with Cigdem Aslan

Mary Ann Kennedy with new tracks from across the globe, plus a studio session with young Turkish singer Çigdem Aslan, performing songs from her debut album 'Mortissa'.

'Mortissa' means 'strong, independent woman', and Çigdem Aslan's new album looks back to the musically-rich period of Turkey and Greece in the 1920s, when 'rebetiko' songs flourished in the cafes of Istanbul, Athens and Piraeus. Like the contemporary jazz of the USA, these songs were associated with the disreputable underclass, and spoke against the status quo of the time with powerful and emotional music.
