Violin Sonata No. 10 in G, Op. 96
He had a profound impact upon music and musicians in his day, and created new genres for the piano and orchestra, this week Donald Macleod explores Claude Debussy through his chamber music.
Debussy, in the early twentieth century, had settled down with Emma Bardac, with whom he had a daughter Claude-Emma. The family struggled financially and Debussy had to take on conducting work. For the Paris conservatoire, he produced a sight-reading test piece, his Petite Pièce, and also an examination work, the Première Rhapsodie, both for clarinet and piano.
The prospect of generous commission fees drew Debussy to compose for the stage. He started work on a ballet project, called Khamma, which was to be set in Egypt. Another commision came from the dancer Ida Rubenstein, who asked for a new work based on the Martyrdom of St Sebastian. The finished piece caused much controversy and the Archbishop of Paris forbade Catholics to attend performances, under threat of excommunication!
John Toal introduces the second of four recital programmes from the Clandoye Festival at the Clandboye Estate in Bangor, Co. Down. Soprano Ailish Tynan takes to the stage with pianist Barry Douglas to present a personal selection of Schubert Songs, while horn player Richard Watkins performs Schumann's Adagio and Allegro. The programme is rounded off with Barry Douglas' performance of Brahms' Waltzes- which the composer described a collection of pieces inspired by Schubert.

Katie Derham presents two great late works by Richard Strauss and Anton Bruckner. Strauss's Oboe Concerto, written at the behest of an American serviceman who visited the aged Strauss at his Bavarian home at the end of the war, is the work that heralded his incredible Indian Summer. In it's effortless blend of rococo whimsy and serene elegy it could not be further removed from the anguished outpourings which precede the heavenly serenity which the dying Bruckner finally found in the closing pages of his unfinished last symphony.

Five writers choose an organ of the body on which to essay. In his piece, poet Daljit Nagra describes how the lungs are an exchange system, similar to poetry.
In a compelling synthesis of biology and literature, we'll hear the 'dark continent' of our inner body, scrutinised through its hidden constituents - the organs. In this series, five writers, Mark Ravenhill, Christina Patterson, Daljit Nagra, Naomi Alderman and Ned Beauman, take on one of the body's mysterious organs. They write an essay on the intestines, skin, lungs, gall bladder and appendix. In each case they've met an expert in their chosen organ who has regaled them with its medical function, but ultimately they express what the organ's significance is to them, linking to history, culture and personal experience

Claude Debussy (1862-1918)
Debussy's Cello Sonata
He had a profound impact upon music and musicians in his day, and created new genres for the piano and orchestra, this week Donald Macleod explores Claude Debussy through his chamber music.
With the outset of World War One, the Daily Telegraph invited composers to contribute works towards the King Albert's Album, which would be a tribute to the Belgium monarch and his soldiers. Debussy responded with a melancholy work which references the Belgium national anthem, his Berceuse hèroïque for orchestra. Early on in the war, he also started to compose a set of Twelve Etudes for the piano, which he told his publisher would be a secret homage to those Frenchmen lost on the battlefields.
Debussy had been suffering physically for some time during this period and it was in 1915 that he was diagnosed with cancer. He underwent a risky operation; there were no antibiotics available, and afterwards, the pain was kept at bay with morphine. That same year, though, Debussy composed his Sonata for cello and piano, whilst he stayed at the villa Mon Coin.

Episode 3
John Toal introduces the third of four recital programmes from this year's Clandeboye Festival at the Clandeboye Estate in Bangor, Co. Down. Today's concert features music from Brahms and Beethoven, and soloists Barry Douglas and violinist Elina Vahala. Brahms' 3 Intermezzi display the composer's more reflective side: intimate pieces he wrote towards the end of his life. While in contrast, the Beethoven Violin Sonata in A is a showpiece for violin and pianist- a real musical 'tour de force'.

Thursday Opera Matinee
Strauss's Intermezzo
Richard Strauss 150: Intermezzo, Strauss's 2 act comedy with Lucia Popp and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, conducted by Wolfgang Sawallisch.
Katie Derham presents this week's opera matinee as part of Radio 3's continuing complete Strauss opera series to mark the 150th anniversary of his birth. Intermezzo has a libretto by Strauss himself and is his first attempt at writing what he called "a completely modern, absolutely realistic psychological comedy of character." Intermezzo was apparently based on incidents from Strauss's own family life with Strauss depicted by Robert Storch and his wife, Pauline by Christine Storch. Alas, when it was first performed at the Dresden Semperoper in 1924 with sets modelled on those in the Strauss home, Pauline was far from amused by her husband's "bourgeois comedy with symphonic interludes."
This classic 1980 recording features many singers known for their interpretations of Strauss and is conducted by one of the leading Strauss conductors of the twentieth century.

Tamsin Waley-Cohen, Huw Watkins, English Touring Opera, Dame Gillian Lynne
Sean Rafferty opens In Tune's doors to singers from English Touring Opera, who are on the road with Handel's Ottone. In Handel's time one aria in Ottone was scorned by the great Italian soprano Francesca Cuzzoni - and it is reported that the composer convinced her of its genius as he leaned her out of a high window!
British Violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen performs live with pianist and composer Huw Watkins some of the repertoire off their new CD 1917, all of which was written towards the end of WW1; and she brings news of her new recording of Vaughan Williams's Lark Ascending in its centenary year, as well as his unknown Violin Concerto. Plus, choreographer and dancer Dame Gillian Lynne along with composer Giles Easterbrook discuss their recreation of Robert Helpmann's ballet Miracle in the Gorbals - part of Birmingham Royal Ballet's triple bill 'Shadows of War' at Sadler's Wells.

Ulster Orchestra - Haydn, Strauss, Wagner, Bartok
Live from the Ulster hall, Belfast
Presented by John Toal
The Ulster Orchestra, conducted by their new Principal Guest Conductor Jac van Steen, live from the opening concert of the 52nd Belfast Festival, in a programme of Haydn, Strauss Wagner, and Bartók.
Haydn - Symphony No. 87 in A Major
R Strauss - Intermezzo: Four Symphonic Interludes
8.15: INTERVAL
Wagner - Lohengrin: Prelude to Act 1
Bartók - Violin Concerto No. 2
Valeriy Sokolov, Violin
Ulster Orchestra
Jac van Steen Conductor
The programme, themed "Four Moods in Music," features four contrasting works. It begins with Haydn's lively Symphony No.87 in A Major. First performed in 1787, it's one of the 6 "Paris" symphonies commissioned by Count Claude-François-Marie Rigoley d'Ogny. Richard Strauss's Four Symphonic Interludes from Intermezzo follows. Composed between 1918 and 1923, the opera is a bourgeois comedy which follows a composer's wife, who, upon opening her husband's mail, discovers a passionate love letter from a fan. The arc of the unfolding crisis can be felt across the Four Symphonic Interludes.
During the interval John Toal talks to the Director of the Belfast Festival, Richard Wakely, about this year's programme, and continuing the theme of the evening, Jac van Steen introduces his Ulster Orchestra recording of Stravinsky's 4 Norwegian Moods, written in 1942.
The concert continues with the Prelude to Act 1 of Wagner's Lohengrin, depicting the Holy Grail as it descends to earth in the care of an angelic host. This is music at its most serene. And to conclude the programme, the leading Ukrainian violinist Valeriy Sokolov joins the Orchestra to perform Bartók's Violin Concerto No. 2. Written for his friend the Hungarian Zoltán Székely, Bartók's well known knowledge and love of Eastern European folk music is especially evident in the dance rhythms of the outer movements of the work, with the instrument featuring prominently from the very outset.

Claude Debussy (1862-1918)
Debussy's Last Chamber Works
He had a profound impact upon music and musicians in his day, and created new genres for the piano and orchestra, this week Donald Macleod explores Claude Debussy through his chamber music.
Debussy had undergone an operation for cancer, which left him very weak and in pain for the rest of his now shortened life. These were the early years of World War One, and Debussy was greatly saddened by reports of the scale of the carnage on the front line. His song, Noël des enfants qui n'ont plus de maison from 1915, doesn't hold back about the hopelessness of the time.
Debussy had had a burst of creativity in in 1915, where he composed, amongst other things, his Sonata for flute, viola and harp. During these final years of his life, he envisaged writing six sonatas, including some for wind instruments. His plans were never fully met, but he did manage to complete one final chamber work in 1917, his Sonata for violin and piano.

FRI 19:30 Radio 3 Live in Concert (b04l3bl0)
Scottish Chamber Orchestra - Mahler, Haydn, Hosokawa
Live from Glasgow's City Halls, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Robin Ticciati, performs works by Mahler, Haydn and Toshio Hosokawa.
Hosokawa: Meditation - To the Victims of the Tsunami, March 2011
Mahler: Kindertotenlieder
8.20pm interval
Mahler: Blumine
Haydn: Symphony No.104 'London'
Karen Cargill (Mezzo-soprano)
Scottish Chamber Orchestra
Robin Ticciati (Conductor)
Hosokawa's Meditation is dedicated to the victims of the tsunami that struck North East Japan on 11 March 2011. The composer was inspired by a news report about mothers who lost their children in the disaster, one of who was still visiting the seaside every day months after the tsunami struck.
Karen Cargill is the soloist in Mahler's heart-wrenching Kindertotenlieder, settings of five poems by Friedrich Ruckert marking the loss of his own children.
Blumine started life as part of Mahler's First Symphony - written when the composer was just 24 - but was later discarded. Rediscovered in the middle of the 20th century it now stands alone as a short, idyllic intermezzo.
Haydn's final symphony, no. 104, was written in 1795 when the composer was living in London and he conducted the premiere himself in what would turn out to be his last London concert. In its grandeur and level of invention it stands as an impressive final statement from a prolific master of the symphonic form.
FRI 22:00 The Verb (b04l3bl2)
Hong Ying, George Szirtes, Michel Faber, Holly Pester
Ian's guests on the 'cabaret of the word' include the internationally bestselling Chinese author Hong Ying, whose books include 'K: The Art of Love' (Penguin) and her memoir 'Daughter of the River' (Bloomsbury).
We continue our series looking at the language of Instruction Manuals with a new commission from sound poet Holly Pester.
Poet George Szirtes explains why his fellow countrymen think that Winnie the Pooh is much better translated into Hungarian.
And novelist Michel Faber explains why he came up with a new language for his latest novel which is about a Christian missionary in space.
FRI 22:45 The Essay (b04l37lm)
Ned Beauman: the Appendix
Five writers choose an organ of the body on which to reflect. In his piece, novelist and journalist Ned Beauman confronts the idea that the appendix is redundant.
In a compelling synthesis of biology and literature, we'll hear the 'dark continent' of our inner body, scrutinised through its hidden constituents - the organs. In this series, five writers, Mark Ravenhill, Christina Patterson, Daljit Nagra, Naomi Alderman and Ned Beauman, take on one of the body's mysterious organs. They write an essay on the intestines, skin, lungs, gall bladder and appendix. In each case they've met an expert in their chosen organ who has regaled them with its medical function, but ultimately they express what the organ's significance is to them, linking to history, culture and personal experience.
FRI 23:00 World on 3 (b04l37pp)
