Wagner's Die Meistersinger

James Levine returns to Wagner with a signature run of this epic comedy, back at the Met for the first time in eight years.

His self-taught method of song writing breaks all the complicated rules, but fortunately the wise Hans Sachs is on hand to offer advice on both song-writing and love. Michael Volle sings the central role of Hans Sachs. Johan Botha reprises his indomitable Walther, and the elegant Annette Dasch is Eva.

Presented Live from the Met by Margaret Juntwait and Ira Siff.

Breaking Free - Martin Luther's Revolution: Eamon Duffy

Professor of the History of Christianity at Cambridge, Eamon Duffy has changed for ever the way we view the Reformation. His books, including The Stripping of the Altars and The Voices of Morebath, have revealed a picture of late medieval Catholicism as a strong and vital tradition, and have shown that the Reformation, for most ordinary people, represented a violent disruption to a flourishing religious system.

Eamon talks about his passion for medieval, Tudor and seventeenth-century music and history, the state of Catholic church music today and the pleasures of playing chamber music.

His choices of music include countertenor Alfred Deller singing Purcell, the Beaux Arts Trio playing Haydn and Janet Baker singing Elgar.

Eamon's final piece of music is a wonderfully evocative Arab Christian chant for Palm Sunday, sung by a nun from the Melkite order.

Producer: Jane Greenwood

SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature (b04tvpzl)
The Supernatural North

As the dark winter nights draw in, our thoughts turn to all things Northern - roaring fires and woolly jumpers, snow, ice, and the faint jingle of Father Christmas's sleigh. But across the centuries, a weirder, wilder North has lurked in the imaginative shadows: a North populated by mountain trolls, demons and direwolves, white witches and white walkers, snow queens and Sámi shamans.

Radio 3 New Generation Thinker Eleanor Rosamund Barraclough journeys to Arctic Norway in search of the supernatural world that haunts the imagination of writers such as Philip Pullman, A.S. Byatt, C.S. Lewis, Hans Christian Andersen and the authors of the medieval Icelandic sagas.

Following the trail of a 9th century Norseman called Ohthere, who travelled along the northern coast of Norway and down to the White Sea in Russia, Eleanor sets out from the coastal city of Tromsø in northern Norway. But whereas Ohthere wanted to survey the land and acquire walrus ivory, reindeer and exotic furs, Eleanor is looking for a stranger North - a place inhabited by mountain trolls, witches and giants.

On her journey Eleanor is initiated as a member of The Royal and Arctic Polar Bear Society in Hammerfest, visits the Arctica Ice Bar in Honningsvåg, climbs the Dommen mountain - a popular venue for witches' Sabbaths, and views the witches' memorial in Vardø.

Helping Eleanor in her quest for the supernatural North are writers Philip Pullman, author of Northern Lights; A.S. Byatt, author of Ragnarok; Professor Peter Davidson of Aberdeen University and author of The Idea of North; Dr Carolyne Larrington of Oxford University, a specialist in the Icelandic sagas; Professors Rune Hagen and Richard Holt of Tromso University and artist Jeffrey Vallance.

Tchaikovsky The Nutcracker

The Hallé

Andrew Gourlay conductor

'Astonishingly rich in detailed inspiration and from beginning to end, beautiful, melodious, original' was how one contemporary judged Tchaikovsky's enchanting seasonal ballet, The Nutcracker. Tonight Andrew Gourlay and the Hallé give an early Christmas treat by performing this masterly score in its glorious entirety.
From its wonderfully bustling opening bars to the 'Waltz of the Flowers', the 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' and its magnificent finale, the ballet takes us to the Kingdom of Sweets and back.


SUN 22:00 Drama on 3 (b04tvpzs)
Decameron Nights

Five More Italian Indelicacies Remixed From Boccaccio

Terry Jones introduces five more tasty Renaissance treats from The Decameron, starring Tim McInnerny, Neil Pearson, Louise Brealey, Paul Ritter and Tameka Empson.

The one hundred stories which make up Giovanni Boccaccio's humane and comic masterpiece, come from all over the world. They are vividly reset by Boccaccio among the flourishing merchant classes in the cities of Renaissance Italy. But their witty, satirical, bawdy voice sounds utterly modern, and their subjects - love, fate, sex, religion, morality - are universal.

Radio 3 is retelling ten of these choice Florentine Fancies, adapted by Robin Brooks. Tonight's selection box of five tales has been broadcast every evening this week in the Essay. Five more dainties can also be heard in last week's Drama on 3.

Boccaccio was born to a Florentine banking family in 1313. After an unsuccessful start in law, he turned to his true love: poetry. A humanist and a friend of Petrarch, Boccaccio's Latin poetry was famous across Europe, and provided the sources for his near-contemporary Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, and The Knight's Tale. But his real innovation was the vibrant, vernacular prose in which he wrote The Decameron. Beautifully realised in the teeming voices of merchants and prostitutes, knights and nuns, shopkeepers and conmen, these stories have become a bedrock of our storytelling tradition, mined ever since by Chaucer, Shakespeare, Moliere, Lope de Vega, Christine de Pizan, Swift, Keats, Shelley, Tennyson, Edgar Allan Poe, Caryl Churchill and many more.

The music for the series is arranged and performed by Robert Hollingworth, Director of I Fagiolini, and the lutenist Paula Chateauneuf, with translations by Silvia Reseghetti. The script consultant is Guyda Armstrong.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b04v1g5d)
Andre Previn (1929-)

From Nazi Germany to Hollywood

Donald Macleod exclusively in conversation with the multitalented conductor, composer, jazzman and classical pianist André Previn. Today: Previn's early years in pre-war Berlin, and first experiences as a Hollywood film composer.

André Previn is one of our most iconic musical celebrities - a world-renowned conductor, a multi-award-winning jazz and classical pianist, and a household name to millions after his appearance as Morecambe and Wise's guest "Andrew Preview". With five former marriages, including to actress Mia Farrow and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, Previn's never been far from the arts - and the gossip - pages of the newspapers. And yet, his formidable talents as a composer have often been overlooked. This week, Donald Macleod explores André Previn's career as a movie, jazz and classical composer, exclusively in conversation Previn himself as they explore his remarkable musical life.

Once upon a time there was a little Jewish boy called Andreas Ludwig Prewin, growing up in Nazi Germany as Europe moved towards the brink of war. He talks to Donald Macleod about his memories of 1930s Berlin, and his family's flight to America, where the teenager found a job as a budding arranger and composer at the prestigious MGM Studios. We'll hear two of his most brilliant movie scores - for the films "Bad Day At Black Rock" and "Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse", before Previn discusses one of his most recent works - his 2009 opera, based on David Lean's classic film "Brief Encounter".

Andre Previn (1929-)

Jazz Pianist Extraordinaire

Donald Macleod talks to André Previn about his meteoric success as a jazz pianist in the 1950s - and his troubled marriage to the gifted lyricist Dory Langdon.

André Previn is one of our most iconic musical celebrities - a world-renowned conductor, a multi-award-winning jazz and classical pianist, and a household name to millions after his appearance as Morecambe and Wise's guest "Andrew Preview". With five former marriages, including to actress Mia Farrow and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, Previn's never been far from the arts - and the gossip - pages of the newspapers. And yet, his formidable talents as a composer have often been overlooked. This week, Donald Macleod explores André Previn's career as a movie, jazz and classical composer, exclusively in conversation Previn himself as they explore his remarkable musical life.

Having built a career as a brilliant young film composer, André Previn's career as a jazz pianist suddenly took off in 1954, when his album "My Fair Lady" - his own trio arrangements of the popular musical - became the bestselling album the jazz industry had ever experienced. Catapulted into fame, and still only in his early 20s, Previn became one of the most sought-after pianists of his generation - simultaneously releasing dozens of jazz albums whilst honing his skills as a classical pianist. He speaks to Donald Macleod about his career as a jazz and popular composer, and discusses his relationship with the gifted but troubled lyricist Dory Langdon - his second wife and longtime collaborator. We'll hear a trio of their songs, and from one of Previn's most significant concert hall works - his Guitar Concerto, written for the virtuoso soloist John Williams.

WED 12:00 Composer of the Week (b04v1zqq)
Andre Previn (1929-)

LSO Maestro, Mr Mia Farrow

Donald Macleod talks exclusively to André Previn about his stratospheric rise to the post of Chief Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra - and his life in the idyllic Dorset countryside with his third wife, actress Mia Farrow.

André Previn is one of our most iconic musical celebrities - a world-renowned conductor, a multi-award-winning jazz and classical pianist, and a household name to millions after his appearance as Morecambe and Wise's guest "Andrew Preview". With five former marriages, including to actress Mia Farrow and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, Previn's never been far from the arts - and the gossip - pages of the newspapers. And yet, his formidable talents as a composer have often been overlooked. This week, Donald Macleod explores André Previn's career as a movie, jazz and classical composer, exclusively in conversation Previn himself as they explore his remarkable musical life.

In the early 1960s, André Previn was one of the most celebrated movie composers in the world. And then he walked away from Hollywood forever - to take up a post as the young, charismatic Chief Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra. At this time he would also meet - and marry - one of the most famous women in the world: actress Mia Farrow. Previn talks to Donald Macleod about their marriage and life in the idyllic Dorset countryside, as well as his experiences directing the LSO. As well as a selection of his concert works from this time, we'll also hear from one of Previn's most famous recordings with the LSO - the complete Vaughan Williams symphony cycle. We end with one of this week's musical highlights, and perhaps Previn's greatest compositional achievement: the song cycle "Honey and Rue", to words by Toni Morrison, in which Previn draws on his love of jazz, popular and classical music.

Andre Previn (1929-)

Guest Star: 'Andrew Preview'

Donald Macleod talks exclusively to André Previn about his legendary appearance on the 1971 Morecambe and Wise Christmas Show, and friendship with fellow Russian émigré Vladimir Ashkenazy.

André Previn is one of our most iconic musical celebrities - a world-renowned conductor, a multi-award-winning jazz and classical pianist, and a household name to millions after his appearance as Morecambe and Wise's guest "Andrew Preview". With five former marriages, including to actress Mia Farrow and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, Previn's never been far from the arts - and the gossip - pages of the newspapers. And yet, his formidable talents as a composer have often been overlooked. This week, Donald Macleod explores André Previn's career as a movie, jazz and classical composer, exclusively in conversation Previn himself as they explore his remarkable musical life.

In 1971, André Previn became arguably the most famous classical musician in Britain - beamed into millions of living rooms as one of the Morecambe and Wise Christmas Show's most famous guests. Even forty years on, he tells Donald Macleod, London cabbies still open their windows to offer their greetings to "Andrew Preview"... In 1979, however, Previn would leave his post as the LSO's Principal Conductor to pursue musical pastures new; he introduces a series of more recent jazz compositions, as well as his Piano Concerto, written for his friend, and fellow émigré, Vladimir Ashkenazy. Donald Macleod also explores André Previn's first opera, "A Streetcar Named Desire",.

Clive James

In an extended interview, Philip Dodd talks to Clive James whose writing and broadcasting in the last fifty years has made him one of the most distinctive voices in Britain. You might remember him for his funny, irreverent and sharp television reviewing; or perhaps you recall Unreliable Memoirs, his dazzling account of growing up in Sydney in the Forties and Fifties; perhaps his venture into popular music with Pete Atkin is still firmly lodged in your mind or his career in Footlights.

He has always been prolific and there's no sign that he's slowing down even though he's been dogged by serious illness in the last few years. He confirmed his credentials as a translator last year with his version of Dante's Divine Comedy and his latest book, Poetry Notebook, is a testament to his consuming love of poetry in general. Philip Dodd explores this passion with him and learns how it has informed and illuminated his thinking throughout his life.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b04v1zqv)
Andre Previn (1929-)

From Andre to Anne-Sophie

Donald Macleod talks exclusively to André Previn. Today: the composer discusses his personal and musical relationship with his fifth wife, violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter.

André Previn is one of our most iconic musical celebrities - a world-renowned conductor, a multi-award-winning jazz and classical pianist, and a household name to millions after his appearance as Morecambe and Wise's guest "Andrew Preview". With five former marriages, including to actress Mia Farrow and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, Previn's never been far from the arts - and the gossip - pages of the newspapers. And yet, his formidable talents as a composer have often been overlooked. This week, Donald Macleod explores André Previn's career as a movie, jazz and classical composer, exclusively in conversation Previn himself as they explore his remarkable musical life.

At the age of 85, André Previn is in demand more than ever: both on the podium, and as an acclaimed composer for the concert hall, recording studio and opera stage. Donald Macleod ends the week of exclusive conversations with the composer with a selection of recent works, and talks to Previn about his personal and musical relationship with a musician considered by many to be his muse - his fifth wife, violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter. We end with one of the many works Previn has written for her - his jazzy, brilliant "Tango Song and Dance" suite for violin and piano.

BBC Singers
Norwegian Wind Ensemble
David Hill (conductor)

The Norwegian Wind Ensemble is one of the Norway's most distinguished instrumental groups, with a its history extending back to the 18th century. Innovative and distinctive programming and a repertoire of music old and new is a notable feature of the ensemble's work. But it has also specialised in arranging 18th-century works for symphonic wind band. Anyone who heard Radio 3's live broadcast, last December, of Bach's Christmas Oratorio in the version created by the NWE will know how convincing, compelling, and virtuosic these performers can be. Tonight the NWE's players turn their attention to Handel's 'Messiah' - the well-loved choral masterpiece given new clothes here in this arrangement accompanied by wind orchestra.

Concluding this week of broadcasts from the Temple Winter Festival, David Hill directs the BBC Singers, the NWE, and an impressive team of soloists, live from the magnificent surroundings of one of London's most historic and atmospheric churches.

Oscar-winning screen writer Frederic Raphael reads the final essay in his new series about living abroad across Europe, this time in Greece.

It's the early 1960s, and the country is as yet undisturbed by mass tourism. As Raphael travels to a remote island, echoes of the classical world rub up against the realities of post civil war division, and a village life which has barely changed for centuries.
