SAT 11:45 Music Matters (m0008gv2)
In the community
Opera North's new production of Martinu's final opera, The Greek Passion, tells the story of a passion play set on a Greek island, whose community clashes over their response to incoming refugees. With the production striking a topical resonance as part of Opera North's ongoing project as a Theatre of Sanctuary, Tom meets the conductor Garry Walker, director Christopher Alden, and singers Nicky Spence and Lorna James.
Sir Peter Maxwell Davies lived and worked at the heart of his own community on the island of Sanday. To mark his posthumous 85th birthday, Schott Music are publishing 'An Orkney Sketchbook', a collection of four short piano pieces recently discovered on the top of the composer's piano by the conductor Christopher Austin. Huw Watkins has recorded the pieces for broadcast exclusively on Music Matters and Essential Classics (hear them in full on Monday 16th September).
Tom also talks to the American cellist Alisa Weilerstein as she prepares for a run of concerts in the UK, including a performance of Bach's solo cello suites at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester and concerts with the Trondheim Soloists and pianist Inon Barnatan in London. From solo performances to chamber music, Weilerstein's vision is to foster deep relationships with performers and audiences.
And Music Matters has an exclusive view inside Fairfield Halls in Croydon, which re-opens this month after a major three-year refurbishment. With the project's lead architect Magnus Wills, acoustician Anthony Chilton, artistic director Neil Chandler and conductor Jane Glover.
SAT 12:30 This Classical Life (m0008h1s)
Jess Gillam with... Jessie Grimes
Jess and clarinettist Jessie Grimes swap the music they love, including the Mozart Clarinet Concerto that first sparked Jessie's interest in the clarinet, a Beatles classic with an indefinable opening chord, polished pop by Vulfpeck and Schubert's emotional Shepherd on the Rock.
This Classical Life is also available as a podcast on BBC Sounds.
SAT 13:00 Inside Music (m0008h1v)
Expression and emotion explored with conductor Rumon Gamba
Conductor Rumon Gamba chooses expressive music ranging from the intimate and delicate to the terrifying and wild. He describes how the intense expression found in piano music by Arnold Schoenberg fascinated him as a child, explains how the music of J.S Bach works particularly well on the nyckelharpa and discusses the unique way that Eddi Reader tells stories through song.
At
2pm for his Must Listen piece, Rumon selects music by a composer who was one of the most revered orchestrators of the 20th century, as well as being a pretty handy conductor himself.
A series in which each week a musician reveals a selection of music - from the inside.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (m0008glf)
Siri Hustvedt
It’s hard to sum up the extraordinary reach of Siri Hustvedt’s work. On the one hand, there are popular novels such as What I Loved and The Summer Without Men, which became international best-sellers and were translated into thirty languages. But underpinning her six novels there’s an impressive body of philosophical exploration – about Freud, neurophysiology, painting. Then there’s her own art work: Siri Hustvedt illustrates many of her own books. She has published a volume of poetry, and she’s also a lecturer in Psychiatry at Cornell Medical College. She lives in New York with her husband, the writer Paul Auster.
In Private Passions, Siri Hustvedt admits that she enjoys being hard to pin down, because much of her work is about identity and how it shifts across a lifetime. She reflects on her own youth in New York, where she was so poor that she ate by cruising bars during “Happy Hour” and eating the free snacks. She reveals too that she has neurological episodes where she loses consciousness, sees auras, and sometimes visions and voices. She admires the visionary composer Hildegard of Bingen, and also composer Meredith Monk, who is pushing the human voice to the limit in "Scared Song". Other choices include Mozart’s Don Giovanni, John Cage’s Sonata V, Webern’s Six Pieces for Orchestra, and Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’Ete.

Cameron Carpenter Organ Recital 1/2
Another chance to hear one of the highlights of the 2012 Proms season.
Presented by Christopher Cook
American organ virtuoso Cameron Carpenter brings his extraordinary manual and pedal dexterity to bear on the mighty Royal Albert Hall organ in the first two concerts exploring the works of the greatest composer for the instrument, JS Bach, and his own extraordinary improvisations.
Famous for his prodigious abilities and performance flair, Cameron Carpenter in these concerts plays Bach both in its original form and as viewed through the prism of other composers - including himself: the concert includes his reworking of part of a Bach solo violin partita. Alongside it are a chorale prelude arranged for piano by Busoni, and Henry Wood's and Busoni's arrangements of the famous D minor Toccata and Fugue re-imagined by Cameron Carpenter.
Bach: Toccata and Fugue in F major, BWV 540
Partita No. 3 in E major for solo violin, BWV 1006 - excerpt (arr. C. Carpenter)
Prelude and Fugue in A major, BWV 536

All the tunes
What links pre-War picker George Formby and Wagner, US rock duo The White Stripes and Bruckner, crooning legend Barry Manilow and Chopin? The surprising answer is that they've all shared tunes. Is that because, after 1,000 years of written music, there are no tunes left? What are the essential ingredients of a great tune and how difficult is it to write one?
Tom Service seeks answers with the help of maths man Marcus du Sautoy and composer Jessica Curry.

Body Beautiful
Turn your gaze upon the beauty and art of the human form, with great works about nudity, narcissism, body positivity, the male gaze, physical desire, and physical fitness.
Composers regarding their own image in the mirror include Benjamin Britten, William Horsley, and William Onyeabor, while Sylvia Plath does the same in her post-plastic-surgery poem ‘Face Lift’. Elsewhere, Eavan Boland, Anne Carson, and Christina Rossetti all attempt to grapple with the idea of the female as muse and sitting model, and Claudia Rankine resists a world that would turn her invisible. Meanwhile, Mark Doty hits the gym in an effort to achieve the body beautiful.
The readers for this episode are the beautiful bodies (and voices) of Sophie Robinson and Giles Terera.

SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature (m0008gly)
Everybody likes music, don't they?
The BBC Proms are over for another year - a source of sadness perhaps. But what if music has no place in your life?
Some people seem completely impervious to music. To them it means nothing at all. Some suffer when faced with live performance; others fail to connect with music as social glue. And then there are those who don’t ‘get’ what music implies or the emotions it’s designed to provoke. Music can be used to sway political views. It can also be part of torture, leaving indelible effects on the human brain.
Today’s Sunday Feature ‘Everybody likes music don’t they?’ reveals the thoughts and insights of people who find their relationship with music to be a complicated one.
Voices and sounds reveal previously untold stories, while choral trainer Gareth Malone and professor of cognitive neuroscience Sophie Scott muse on the many ways that the human brain interprets music. Is there any way of knowing that what you hear is what I hear? How can a song mean terror for one person and boredom for another?
With Gareth Malone, Professor Sophie Scott, James Tysome (Emmeline Centre for hearing implants, Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge), Frances Harris, Cherry, Mike Moreton, Sofie, Nav Chana, Margaret Farquharson, Christine Bell, Flora, Sheldon Gilbert, John Lwanda, Anna Papaeti and George Szirtes.

SUN 23:00 The Alternative Bach, with Mahan Esfahani (m0003cbt)
Traveller
The music of J.S. Bach is a music of infinite possibility. Yet for decades, many critics and audiences have been obsessed by the idea that ‘correct’ and ‘authentic’ performances of his work exist.
In this 3-part series, harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani challenges mainstream ideas of what's 'right' or 'wrong' in how Bach's music is performed. In each episode, Mahan will share a selection of his favourite recordings, many of which fall outside of what might be deemed acceptable by today's standards, but which he believes can broaden our appreciation of what Bach can be - ‘to renew our appreciation for his indestructible adaptability’.
In this first episode we hear how Bach’s music has taken on different meanings as it has travelled between different cultures. Mahan’s own itinerant life - born in Iran, raised in the United States and more recently living in the UK and continental Europe - has heightened his awareness of cultural differences within Western classical music and brought him into close contact with different approaches to Bach along the way.
Recordings this week come from Russia, central Europe and the States, as well as a rare 1930s recording of a cantata translated into Catalan.
Produced by Chris Elcombe.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (m0008gtk)
Henry Purcell (1659-1695)
A Brief Life
Donald Macleod explores the music and life of Henry Purcell. Today, a whistlestop trip through the scanty facts of the composer’s biography.
Frustratingly little is known about the tragically abbreviated life of the composer who is arguably Britain’s greatest, Henry Purcell. Had he been born twenty years earlier, he would have been old enough to figure in Pepys’ Diary, and he might perhaps have been the object of one of the great naval administrator’s typically incisive character sketches. But by the time Purcell was taking his first steps in composition in the 1670s, Pepys had already laid down his quill. Purcell kept no diary of his own – at least none has survived – and if he was active as a letter-writer, precious little of his correspondence has come down to us. Our evidence for the facts of the composer’s life appears in a sequence of glimpses – a portrait here, an anecdote there, unvarnished entries in the official records of the time. We don’t know for certain when or where he was born, or who his father was. We know he married a woman called Frances, who may have been the daughter of a Flemish leather merchant, but we can’t be sure. We know that he had six children, four of whom died in infancy. We know that as a child he survived the Plague and the Great Fire of London, but we have no idea what took his life at the age of barely 36, or what other great masterpieces might have flowed from his pen had he survived to enjoy a more normal span of years.

Romantically German
Live from Wigmore Hall, London, the BBC's longest-running chamber-music series kicks off another season with a recital by German baritone (and former Radio 3 New Generation Artist) Benjamin Appl and South African fortepianist Kristian Bezuidenhout. Together they perform some lesser-known treasures of the German Romantic song repertory, including works by Felix Mendelssohn, Carl Friedrich Zelter and Carl Loewe, as well as Schumann's darkly powerful cycle of songs composed to texts by the poet Nikolaus Lenau. Schumann added a 'Requiem' (with words by Goethe) under the mistaken impression that Lenau was dead, but bizarrely heard the news of his actual death on the day the songs were first performed.
Presented by Andrew McGregor.

Cosmic Vision
With its vast orchestral forces, Olivier Messiaen's epic Éclairs sur l’au-delà... (Lightning Over the Beyond...), is rarely performed. But his last completed music is an ecstatic and visionary masterpiece combining Messiaen's enduring and profound Catholic faith and decades-long preoccupation with birdsong. 'I imagined myself in front of a curtain in darkness, apprehensive about what lay beyond: Resurrection, Eternity, the other life' was how Messiaen himself described his epic 11-movement, hour-long work.
It's a typically bold and inspired statement of intent from Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra in one of their first concerts of the new season. Recorded yesterday at the Barbican Hall and presented by Tom Service.

Henry Purcell (1659-1695)
Watershed Year
Donald Macleod explores the music and life of Henry Purcell. Today the focus is on a single year, 1680, in which Purcell emerged as one of the greatest contrapuntists of his time.
1680 was a year of firsts for Purcell – he wrote his first music for stage, fulfilled his first commission for a royal ‘welcome’ ode, took his first (and only) wife, and made his first foray into the world of chamber music, with a sequence of nine fantazias of such dazzling contrapuntal ingenuity and brilliance – not to mention expressive maturity – that you have to marvel at how a composer of just 20 could have possibly pulled off such a dazzling feat.

Haydn, Beethoven and Klein from Schwetzingen
Sarah Walker presents some of the best concerts from this year's Schwetzingen Festival, in this our second week of performances this summer from the Festival.
As well as attracting some of the finest Chamber Players, the festival also promotes younger, less experienced musicians, so, today, as well as hearing the Jerusalem Quartet and Piotr Anderszewski, there's a chance to hear the Marvin Trio.
The world acclaimed Jerusalem Quartet have come a long way since their participation on the BBC New generation Scheme and have gained an international reputation that puts them alongside the very best. Today they are playing one of Haydn's last completed group of string quartets, dedicated to Count Erdődy at a time when Haydn was working on his oratorio The Creation and enjoying a public career.
Beethoven's penultimate piano sonata, like the Haydn quartet, forms part of a 'group' of works that Beethoven struggled through ill health to complete, with one commentator suggesting that the energetic fugue in the last movement is some sort of return to health.
No such luck for Gideon Klein, whose Trio was his last completed work. He died in a Nazi labour camp after being interned initially in the notorious Terezin camp along with Pavel Haas and Hans Krasa.
The Marvin Trio comprise Marina Grauman, violin, Marius Urba, cello and Vita Kan, piano, and are currently studying with the Artemis Quartet. They won the ARD competition in 2017 and the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition in 2018.

It's a rare chance to hear this ritualistic, spiritually ambitious work for 5 solo percussionists and orchestra.
It's paired with selections from Grieg's fairytale-folk music written for Ibsen's Peer Gynt in 1876. These extracts contain some of classical music's most oft-hummed tunes, and a chance for the orchestra to welcome soprano Malin Christensson to voice the lyrical utterances of Peer Gynt's loyal squeeze, Solveig.

Tolerance, censorship and free speech
Moral philosopher Susan Neiman studies lessons from German & US history. Ursula Owen went from Virago to Index on Censorship. Christopher Hampton has translated an Ödön von Horváth novel about the fallout from an accusation of racism. Anne McElvoy brings them together for a conversation about tolerance, censorship and parallels between the past and the present.
Written in exile while in flight from the Nazis, Youth Without God was the last book by Ödön von Horváth (1901-1938), a German-writing Austro-Hungarian-born playwright and novelist . Christopher Hampton's stage version has its UK stage premiere at the Coronet Theatre, Notting Hill London from 19 Sep–19 Oct
Susan Neiman's latest book Learning from the Germans: Confronting Race and the Memory of Evil looks at western struggles with the legacies of racism and colonialism. A white girl from the American South, Susan Neiman is also a Jewish woman living in Berlin and the book draws on these experiences.
Urusula Owen's parents were German Jews who fled Berlin for London. Her career has seen her work as a founder director of Virago Press and later as Chief Executive of Index on Censorship. Her memoir is called Single Journey Only.

Donald Macleod explores the music and life of Henry Purcell. Today, pieces he wrote to mark specific events, from King Charles’ escape from shipwreck to the passing of Queen Mary.
Given that so little is known about Purcell’s life, it’s gratifying that a fair number of his compositions can be pinned to particular occasions. Many of these were commissions, like the two Cecilian Odes he wrote for The Musical Society in 1683 and 1692, or the sequence of royal ‘welcome’ odes that began in 1680 with ‘Welcome, vicegerent of the mighty king’ and ended with ‘Who can from joy refrain’, Purcell’s ode celebrating the sixth birthday of Prince William, Duke of Gloucester, which he wrote in 1695, the year before his death. ‘They that go down to the sea in ships’ was written after the event it commemorates – the narrow escape of the king and his yachting party when a nasty storm blew up around the North Foreland off the Isle of Thanet; having narrowly survived its maiden voyage, the king’s new yacht, ‘Fubbs’, remained in service for the best part of a century. Occasional music can easily lapse into obscurity after the occasion it was designed for is over – a fate that certainly hasn’t befallen the music Purcell provided for the funeral of Queen Mary, whose stark grandeur achieves a kind of universal expression of grief. Grief runs through Purcell’s early Funeral Sentences, which were probably written when he was still a chorister at the Chapel Royal. It’s not known whose death they commemorate – perhaps that of one of his musical mentors.

Brahms and Franck from Schwetzingen
Sarah Walker presents two more performances from this year's Schwetzingen Festival.
The Artemis Quartet were founded 30 years ago, and from this month, it sees a new line-up emerge including violinist Suyoen Kim and cellist Harriet Krijgh, the two 'additional' players in this youthful sextet by Brahms - so it can really be said to be performed by just the 'Artemis Quartet'. The other quartet players are: Vineta Sareika and Anthea Kreston, violins, Gregor Sigl, viola, and Eckart Runge, cello. As of September, Anthea Kreston and Eckhardt Runge are leaving the quartet.
Martin Helmchen was a member of the BBC New Generation Scheme over 10 years ago and has gained a great reputation as a committed chamber player. Today he plays Cesar Franck's typically unshowy but heartfelt Prelude, Choral and Fugue.

“How beautiful a delight to make the world joyous! The song should never be silent, the dance never still, the laugh should sound like water which runs for ever.” - essayist and nature writer Richard Jefferies' words which inspired Frank Bridge's poem for orchestra - The Story of My Heart. Playful music by Corelli and Krommer thread through the journey to this piece and the voices of children playing provide a background to Jocelyn Pook's Saffron - a poem connecting mother and daughter. More graceful and reflective moments occur in Derek Bourgeois' Serenade for brass band, Frank Martin's Mass for double choir and Liszt's Liebestraume No.3.

Henry Purcell (1659-1695)
Purcell's Venues
Donald Macleod explores the music and life of Henry Purcell. Today, an excursion round six key Purcellian venues, from pint-sized York Buildings to gargantuan Westminster Abbey.
Music-lovers in late-seventeenth-century London had plenty of opportunity to hear Purcell’s music, and in all sorts of places, from taverns to palaces. But above all it was associated with a select group of venues. In the chapel of the old Palace of Whitehall, Purcell’s ‘symphony anthems’ were regularly heard. The vast, reverberant spaces of Westminster Abbey drew from him a more expansive kind of choral music. During Purcell’s lifetime, York Buildings was London’s only purpose-built concert hall, but its tiny dimensions – around 900 square feet – made it unsuitable for large-scale performances; for these, Stationers’ Hall was the venue of choice. Purcell spent much of the last five years of his life producing music for the theatre, in particular for the Duke’s Theatre in Dorset Garden, which was equipped to stage the most spectacular productions. The more modest Hall Theatre, originally the medieval hall at the centre of the Palace of Whitehall, is where Purcell’s welcome songs and royal birthday odes would have been heard.

In the 16th century, Ivan the Terrible launched a brutally repressive campaign against the cities of Pskov and Novgorod. Novgorod is soon subdued by the Tzar's unstoppable army, but the future of sister-city Pskov somehow seems to hinge on Princess Olga Tokmanova, a young noblewoman with a mysterious past.

Henry Purcell (1659-1695)
The Intimate Purcell
Donald Macleod explores the music and life of Henry Purcell. Today, the relatively small but extraordinarily rich body of work he wrote for intimate, domestic settings.
Earlier programmes this week have primarily focused on music for the liturgy, for the theatre, or for some grand occasion or another, all showing us Purcell’s public face. His smaller-scale work – catches, songs, keyboard and chamber music – is generally less well-known, but contains some absolute gems. In a sense, it’s the music that Purcell didn’t have to write.

Presented by Hannah French
The KBS Symphony Orchestra and conductor Yoel Levi pair orchestral suites by Bach and Bartok with Luciano Berio's ground-breaking Sinfonia, which pitches eight voices singing, shouting, crying and whispering against an orchestral tapestry of quotations, allusions and commentaries. The soloists in this performance, recorded in Seoul last year, are members of The Swingle Singers, the ensemble that gave the work's premiere in 1968
