SAT 21:30 Between the Ears (b04k7vqk)
More than a Desert

More than twenty years after the death of the iconic filmmaker Derek Jarman, the poet Kate Tempest - only a child when Jarman died - creates a new radio poem on the Kent beach where he lived. Tempest has been shortlisted for Mercury-prize and was named in September 2014 as one of the Next Generation poets.

Crunching across the shingle of Britain's only desert, poet and playwright Kate Tempest's words are buffeted by the relentless wind of Dungeness - home to two lighthouses, two nuclear power stations, abundant wildlife, and to Prospect Cottage.

Here iconic British filmmaker Derek Jarman spent the last years of his life building his garden, writing diaries, inscribing the words of John Donne on the wall of his cottage. Here the wind whips across the flat, barren shingle, around the fisherman's cottages, out to the open sea where rolling waves meet a vast sky.

Recorded entirely on location in Dungeness, at Jarman's desk and out in the elements, Kate Tempest weaves the words and thoughts of local families and fishermen with rich soundscapes, both natural and man-made. Amidst the quietest sounds of the sanctuary of Prospect Cottage, to the roaring innards of the power station, Tempest crafts vivid new verse, at once intimate and elemental, mapping Dungeness anew.

Features music recorded on the beach by musician Alexander Tucker, and Keith Collins reading from Derek Jarman's "Modern Nature". Includes field recordings from the RSPB nature reserve and inside Dungeness B Nuclear Power Station.

Producer, Peter Meanwell
An Open Audio production for BBC Radio 3.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b03vd2vm)
Joan Armatrading

When Joan Armatrading's mother bought a piano 'as a piece of furniture' little did she know what she was starting. The fourteen-year-old Joan taught herself to play it, then to play the guitar too and twelve years later she burst onto the music scene with her hit song Love and Affection. In a career spanning forty years, she has made 20 acclaimed studio albums as well as undertaking an international touring schedule which makes me feel tired just thinking about it. She's received three Grammy and two Brit Award nominations, she's the winner of the Ivor Novello Award, and she's the first female UK artist ever to debut at number 1 in the American Billboard Blues chart. And to cap it all, she has an MBE for services to music.

In this programme Joan shares her love of classical music with Michael Berkeley and chooses pieces by Beethoven, Vivaldi, Tavener and Bach. She talks about her childhood as the daughter of immigrant parents in Birmingham, discusses how she managed to study for a degree while on the road, and reveals whether this year's tour really will be her last.

SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature (b04k7zf9)
Global Classical Music - A New World Symphony

Education - 30 Million Young Pianists

From the much heralded success of El Sistema in South America to the overwhelming numbers of Chinese instrumentalists and the new projects in India and the Middle East, everyone agrees that the sustained growth of Classical music around the world depends on Education. In the final programme of the series looking at the new classical music world order Petroc Trelawny explores the different approaches to music and finds that one size does not fit all.

He talks to Chinese teachers and performers about the technical brilliance being achieved but the desire to develop a sense of ensemble and performance; he visits new schools in India, where the systems and notations of classical music are being harnessed to work alongside the powerful Indian musical traditions and the industrial production requirements of Bollywood, and he assesses the lasting impact of Venezuela's El Sistema and its impact elsewhere in South America.

Thus far the very highest levels of musical ambition still require students to head back to the heartland of the Western Classical tradition. Academies and Conservatoires in Britain, America, Germany and Russia are luring ambitious musicians from across the globe. A significant change in recent years is the number who then return home to share the skills they've developed and to encourage a new self-confidence and maturity.

But, as Petroc discovers, there's another more pressing concern for those passionate about classical music and that's the less straightforward education of audiences.

Producer: Tom Alban.

Brahms Experience

Robert Plane, Skampa Quartet

Tom Service presents the first in a week of events, in association with St. George's Bristol, for Radio 3's Brahms Experience.

Over the next five evenings, Tom introduces live performances from Daniel Hope (violin), Stephen Kovacevich (piano), the Skampa Quartet, BBC Singers and BBC National Orchestra of Wales. During the intervals, Tom discusses aspects of Brahms's life and music with performers and experts. Plus, there are more fascinating insights into Brahms's world in Radio 3's The Essay, delivered in front of our live Bristol audience and recorded for broadcast after the concerts.
The Brahms Experience continues across Radio 3, all this week, in Essential Classics, Composer of the Week, Afternoon on 3 and Through the Night.

Tonight, the Skampa Quartet pair Brahms's second quartet, whose tragic overtones are offset by its vigorous gypsy influences, with Dvorak's ebullient 'American' Quartet. After the interval, they are joined by Robert Plane in Brahms's late masterwork for clarinet and strings.

Brahms: String Quartet No 2 in A minor, op.51 no.2
Dvorak: String Quartet No.12 in F, op.96 'American'

8.25pm INTERVAL
Robert Plane discusses Brahms's relationship with the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld, whose playing inspired the composer to emerge from retirement.
They examine what it was about Mühlfeld's musicianship that so appealed to Brahms, how Mühlfeld's performance style influenced the works Brahms composed for him, and the lasting legacy they had on each other's lives.

MON 22:45 The Essay (b04k8bgc)
Brahms Experience

Public Brahms, Private Brahms

Five Essays about the 19th-century German composer Johannes Brahms. Part 1 of 5.

Recorded in front of an audience at St. Georges, Bristol, as part of BBC Radio 3's Brahms Experience - a week-long exploration of Brahms' life and music.

To this day Brahms has a reputation as a rather terse, fearsome personality who wrote dark, serious music. But his tender, intimate chamber music gives a clue to how he behaved behind closed doors and among friends.
Pianist and writer Natasha Loges looks at what lies behind Brahms' famously gruff public persona, and discovers his tender, private side. She offers an invitation into Brahms' inner circle: music making at home, coffee and conversation with friends, the food he enjoyed, and the women he flirted with.

Producer: Melvin Rickarby.


MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 (b043pn57)
Ambrose Akinmusire

A second chance to hear one of the highlights from this year's Cheltenham Jazz Festival - a standout set from New York trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire with his quartet.

Since his acclaimed 2011 debut on the Blue Note label, Akinmusire has been cited as one of the most thrilling and talented trumpeters of his generation. His playing references the history of bop and is marked by a dazzling sense of articulation, but also by soulfulness and a unique angularity. His most recent release, The Imagined Savior Is Far Easier To Paint, sees a shift to darker territory, where soaring lines haunt sparse and open textures. Appearing at Cheltenham Festival's Jazz Arena, Akinmusire is joined by pianist Sam Harris, bassist Harish Raghavan and drummer Justin Brown for a stripped-back quartet performance.

Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producer: Miranda Hinkley

First broadcast in May 2014.

Brahms to the Rescue

After Robert Schumann attempted to take his life by hurling himself into the swirling waters of the River Rhine, Brahms rushed to comfort Clara, and offer all the emotional support and practical assistance of which he was capable. Donald Macleod continues the story of their friendship, as we find the young composer steadily falling in love with the woman he admired. For her part, we find Clara coming to depend on his support, and his invigorating company, and admitting him into the tiny company of those she was prepared to address as 'Du' rather than 'Sie'.

TUE 22:45 The Essay (b04kf1vj)
Brahms Experience

Brahms and Nature

Five Essays about the 19th-century German composer Johannes Brahms. Part 2 of 5.

Recorded in front of an audience at St. Georges, Bristol, as part of BBC Radio 3's Brahms Experience - a week-long exploration of Brahms' life and music.

Interaction with nature is one of the cornerstones of 19th-century Romantic music. Writer Lesley Chamberlain offers a chance to join Brahms for a creative ramble and sets his work in the climate of German ideas about nature.

In the German Romantic tradition Nature is Art's rival and the artist's consolation. Brahms' love of nature, which came to him in hours of shared and solitary walking, intensified the demands he made on himself as a composer.

Producer: Melvin Rickarby.

With the tragic death of Robert Schumann, Brahms reaches a critical moment in his relationship with Clara - should he offer to make her his wife? Or should he abandon the pursuit, and follow his own course in life? Donald Macleod continues his account of their lifelong (although volatile) friendship, and finds Brahms flirting with other female company, much to the annoyance of his first and only true love.

WED 19:30 Radio 3 Live in Concert (b04kf254)
Brahms Experience

BBC National Orchestra of Wales

Live from Colston Hall, Bristol

Presented by Tom Service

The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Conductor Laureate Tadaaki Otaka perform great orchestral works by Brahms, as part of Radio 3's Brahms Experience in Bristol.

The Academic Festival Overture is a musical thank-you to a university that gave Brahms an honorary degree, but the piece is far from dry academia: Brahms described it as a 'boisterous potpourri of student songs'. Violinist Veronika Eberle and cellist Andreas Brantelid join the orchestra in the Double Concerto, Brahms's last orchestral composition, written as a gesture of reconciliation to violinist Joseph Joachim, who had once been the composer's closest friend but who had shunned his acquaintance. The concert ends with Symphony No 1, the work that builds on the foundations of Beethoven while allowing Brahms' distinct symphonic voice to emerge.

WED 22:45 The Essay (b04kf1vn)
Brahms Experience

Brahms and Germany

Five Essays about the 19th-century German composer Johannes Brahms. Part 3 of 5.

Recorded in front of an audience at St. Georges, Bristol, as part of BBC Radio 3's Brahms Experience - a week-long exploration of Brahms' life and music.

Brahms lived in a time of great political change. In his late thirties he saw the birth of a unified German nation under the 'Iron Chancellor' Otto von Bismarck. The question of what this Germany was to be became one of the great issues of the day.

Writer and pianist Natasha Loges explores the nationalist elements of Brahms' music. She examines his famous feud with the more openly patriotic Richard Wagner, and the ways in which Brahms' 'German' image was manipulated in the next century by the Nazis.

Producer: Melvin Rickarby.

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)

Secret Passions

Johannes Brahms might have rejected the possibility of marrying Clara Schumann, but that was no reason not to pursue one of her daughters, or indeed to flirt with an entire women's choir! Donald Macleod continues the story of their complex relationship, as youthful passion evolves into mature friendship, and Brahms settles into life in Vienna - and sports a beard. Although frequently strained, their friendship would endure, and would help nurture some of Brahms' most loved masterpieces.

David Hill (conductor)

Johannes Brahms' German Requiem has often been described as a requiem for the living, rather than a liturgy for the dead. In tonight's concert for Radio 3's week of live Brahms performances from Bristol, the BBC Singers perform the work in the version accompanied by piano duet - a transcription which, through its gentle intimacy, sheds new light on a much-loved choral masterwork. Alongside it, a tiny sacred song which is an intricate gem of musical ingenuity, and the famous set of variations on a theme by Haydn - sometimes known as the 'St Anthony' variations - played in Brahms' adaptation of the work for two pianos.

Two great german artists go head to head; Anselm Kiefer is at the Royal Academy until December 14th whilst the late Sigmar Polke has a huge retrospective called Alibis at Tate Modern. Tim Marlow, Head of the R.A. together with art historian, Karen Lang, and experienced Germany-watcher and Standpoint Editor, Daniel Johnson discuss reading history through the paintings of Kiefer and Polke ahead of next month's 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall.
And the man often touted as France's greatest writer has just won this year's Nobel prize for Literature. Anne talks the contribution of Patrick Modiano to film as well as literature with Ian Christie and Akane Kawakami.

Brahms Experience

Brahms and Freud

Five Essays about the 19th-century German composer Johannes Brahms. Part 4 of 5.

Recorded in front of an audience at St. Georges, Bristol, as part of BBC Radio 3's Brahms Experience - a week-long exploration of Brahms' life and music.

Brahms and and Freud co-existed in Vienna, as psychoanalysis was being born. But they belong to two vastly different epochs: what can we learn by setting them side by side?

Often at a loss for words, frequently gruff and spiky, Brahms was a man with complex personal traits. Devastated by his parents' disintegrating marriage, he found relationships exceptionally difficult.

A question Freud once asked of us all might help us understand the hidden personality of Johannes Brahms: what is the sublimation of sexual desire, and how much unfulfilled libido can we bear?

Writer Lesley Chamberlain takes us back to the Vienna of the 1890s, where Brahms was composing his late masterpieces and Freud was carrying out his groundbreaking early work.

Producer: Melvin Rickarby.

The bearded and bloated Brahms of caricature continued to be inspired by Clara Schumann, despite a multitude of fleeting passions for other women. As Donald Macleod wraps up his account of their long and frequently troubled friendship, we find them at loggerheads in the late evening of their lives about something relatively trivial (an edition of Robert Schumann's 4th Symphony). Clara becomes jealous of the attentions of Frau Elizabeth von Herzogenberg, and feels snubbed. Nevertheless, through all her many personal tragedies, Johannes Brahms remains a constant support, whilst she remained for him an inspiration throughout his life. Right until the end of their lives, he refers his symphonies to her, and dedicates to her some of his most tender, valedictory piano compositions.

FRI 22:45 The Essay (b04kf1vz)
Brahms Experience

Brahms and the Future

Five Essays about the 19th-century German composer Johannes Brahms. Part 5 of 5.

Recorded in front of an audience at St. Georges, Bristol, as part of BBC Radio 3's Brahms Experience - a week-long exploration of Brahms' life and music.

Brahms lived in a time of tremendous change. The idea of the 'future' was never far from peoples' minds: new technology was emerging, the political map of Europe redrawn, and long-cherished ideas of art and culture overturned.

But how did Brahms, a composer who mined the music of the past for inspiration, fit in with a world where progress was king?

Pianist and writer Natasha Loges looks at Brahms' views on the future: recording technology, piano design - and his own place in the future of music.

Producer: Melvin Rickarby.


FRI 23:00 World on 3 (b04kf34f)
Lopa Kothari - Tashi Lhunpo Monks in Session

Lopa Kothari presents music from around the globe and a live session by the Tashi Lhunpo Monks.

Following the occupation of Tibet in 1959 twenty elderly Buddhist monks from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery fled into exile by trekking across the Himalayas to India. Custodians of religious traditions dating back over 500 years, the Monks subsequently rebuilt their Monastery in the Tibetan settlement of Bylakuppe in southern India. There are now over 300 monks living at the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery which is now an important centre for learning and for the preservation of the culture and traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Seven of these Monks take time out from their three-month concert tour of the UK to join us for an exclusive live session.

Playing music from their new album '17 Golden Greats' (a greatest hits collection compiled from the five albums the Monks have made over the last decade), they will be performing Tibetan chants and mantras, and showing us some of their Tantric Orchestra instruments.
