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.

9.30am Building a Library: Nicholas Kenyon chooses his favourite recording of Mozart's late, great Symphony No. 39 in E flat major.

Summer 1788. Broke and out of favour with the fickle Viennese public, Mozart completes the remarkable trio of his final three symphonies in just nine weeks. No. 39 is the first of the set, exuberant and full of energy, ending with a characteristically ingenious and playful Mozartian touch: an effervescent moto perpetuo finale whose second theme is the first theme in disguise.

10.45am New Releases – Katy Hamilton reviews a new 77-CD box of Bruno Walter Columbia recordings

During his lifetime, conductor Bruno Walter's reputation could hardly have been higher. Born in Germany in 1876, assistant and protégé of Mahler, peer of Toscanini, Walter was a key interpreter of the classical and Romantic Austro-German core repertoire but in the decades since his death in 1962 he seems to have been largely forgotten. Katy Hamilton has been listening to the 77-CDs in Sony's new box of Bruno Walter's US recordings for the Columbia label and makes a contemporary assessment.

SAT 11:45 Music Matters (m000f5pn)
Anna Thorvaldsdottir

Presented by Kate Molleson.

Kate meets the Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir, whose big orchestral pieces feature layers of dense sound reflecting her inner world and nature as well - she's composer-in-residence of The Iceland Symphony Orchestra, currently touring the UK.

With the UK having left the European Union, Kate explores the challenges facing music industry, with Thorben Dittes (Director of the Royal Northern Sinfonia and Classical Music Programme, Sage Gateshead), Tom Kiehl (Acting CEO of UK Music) and Donald Shaw (Artistic Director of the Celtic Connections Festival).

As the Oscars are revealed this weekend, the film composer and conductor Debbie Wiseman takes a look at the nominees for original score, reflecting on today's film industry too.

Plus the hot topics of discussion from the conference of the Association of British Orchestras last week: new environmental business models, embracing diversity and equality, and orchestras relevance in society. Joining Kate to reflect on these issues are John Warner (Orchestra for the Earth), Jenny Jamieson (Scottish Ensemble) and Jessica Schmidt (US organisation Orchestrate Inclusion).

SAT 13:00 Inside Music (m000f6kw)
Looping through time with composer and producer Gabriel Prokofiev

As a composer and producer who straddles the ever-merging worlds of classical and contemporary music, Gabriel Prokofiev brings a fresh perspective on composers who have influenced him - from his grandfather, Sergei Prokofiev, to Barbara Strozzi.

Gabriel’s choice of music today includes a piece by Ravel which is decorated by some ‘spicy’ Baroque trills, the mechanical and pulsing soundscape of Xenakis, and a piece by Schnittke which has a fragile sense of beauty.

He also plays a piece by Henry Cowell which you could mistake for modern dance music, with its loops and hypnotic repetition, until you realise it was written in the 1930s.

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.

SAT 18:30 Opera on 3 (m000f6l4)
From the Met

Berlioz - Faust

Today's Opera from the Met is a concert presentation of Berlioz’s compelling take on the Faust legend, in which the hero exchanges his soul for unlimited knowledge. Berlioz's imaginative score is, like the masterpiece it's based on, wild and grandiose but also intimately beautiful.
Today's cast is an ideal line-up of stars: Tenor Michael Spyres sings the doomed and besotted Faust, opposite the dazzling mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča as the forsaken Marguerite and bass Ildar Abdrazakov as the malevolent Méphistophélès. Edward Gardner conducts the Chorus and Orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York..
Presented by Mary-Jo Heath with commentator Ira Siff.

Marguerite.....Elina Garanca (Mezzo-soprano)

SUNDAY 09 FEBRUARY 2020

SUN 00:00 Freeness (m000f6l8)
Improvising with the Australian outback

Allis Hamilton is an artist living in a hand-built shack in the Australian outback. She makes improvised music in a trio called Alias Nun who are inspired by the aural soundscapes of the surrounding bush. Even though their home is far away from the wildfires plaguing the country, there are days when the air is thick with smoke. Allis describes how the complex emotions these devastating fires arouse can find an outlet in improvised music.

Also on the show, saxophonist Mette Rasmussen creates some gorgeously gritty vocalisations through her instrument, in a duo with guitarist Julien Desprez, and there’s a meditative piece that improvises with volume for turntables and electronics. Presented by Corey Mwamba.

SUN 09:00 Sunday Morning (m000f6x2)
Sarah Walker with an intriguing musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, and puts a musical spin on events.

Sarah embraces some thrillingly atmospheric darkness in Cherubini’s Overture to his opera Démophoon, but on the lighter side she peppers the morning with Richard Rodney Bennett’s Four Piece Suite, relaxing and uplifting in equal measure.

She finds energy and sensitivity in Tine Thing Helseth’s performance of Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto in E flat, and a sense of magic in a Bach Flute Sonata arranged for recorder, harpsichord and cello.

Plus a few film favourites, on the day of the Oscars. Sarah chooses a pair of pieces by Michael Nyman, and music which is the epitome of Hollywood glamour - Everything’s Coming Up Roses by Jule Styne.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (m000f6x4)
Ann Wroe

Michael Berkeley talks to the writer Ann Wroe about the inspiration and comfort she finds in music.

Ann spends the first 36 hours of each week wrestling with the challenge of distilling the life of a person into just 1000 words – because, for nearly two decades, she has written the weekly obituary for The Economist.

The rest of Ann’s week is spent wrestling with biography of an altogether different kind - because she finds the subjects for her books in the shadowy territory where history meets myth. She dares to mix intense scholarship with her own imagination to capture the essence of figures as varied as Perkin Warbeck, the pretender to the English throne; Pontius Pilate; and the mythical lyric poet Orpheus. Hilary Mantel has said of her: ‘She is a genius, because she lights up every subject she touches’.

Ann tells Michael why she is attracted to such ambiguous subjects for her biographies and why she often chooses the quirky over the famous for her Economist obituaries – she’s written about the lives of firefighters, woodcarvers and even animals.

Passionate about the natural world, Ann chooses piano music by Schubert that conjures up walks on the South Downs; Jonathan Dove’s Seek Him that Maketh the Seven Stars; and Frank Bridge’s The Sea, which takes her to her beloved Brighton.

She talks movingly about her attitude towards death and what might come after it, and tells Michael why most of her music choices are ‘bittersweet’, including a song by Vaughan Williams to remember her late husband.

Sad songs say so much

In 1649, a month after the execution of King Charles I, the distraught composer Thomas Tomkins wrote a piece of music called "A sad pavan for these distracted times".
And in our own confusing times, is sad music what we need - or not? Tom Service looks at music's power to heal, to build community and to redefine historical events. With Associate Professor at University College London, Dr Daisy Fancourt, and author of "Singing in the Age of Anxiety", Laura Tunbridge.

Welcome To Heartbreak

There cannot be a phenomenon in all the world that inspires poets and composers more than heartbreak. It is a universal experience, and yet at the same time feels utterly unique.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, why not indulge yourself in expressions of exquisite pain from the likes of Audre Lorde, Alice Meynell, Don Paterson and Derek Walcott, whose words take you through the stages of despair, denial, regret, acceptance and so on. All of it accompanied, of course, by lovelorn, lovesick music courtesy of Leoncavallo, Puccini, Tchaikovsky and Tom Waits.

Living through the operatic emotions of a broken heart alongside you are readers Zubin Varla and Katie West.

SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature (m000f6xd)
Shades of Black: The Art and Genius of Archibald Motley Jr

Lindsay Johns examines how the artist Archibald Motley Jr captured the politics of skin tone in Jazz Age Chicago, and why his art still resonates today.

From formal portraiture to group compositions, Motley painted African-American men and women. He used his dazzling skills to undermine racial stereotypes, questioning what it was to be 'black'. His paintings chart the development of Chicago's 'Black Metropolis', the birth of gospel music, and black nightlife.

Lindsay has been bewitched by Motley's painting 'Blues' since he first saw it 20 years ago, and now he journeys to Chicago, Motley's home city, to find out more about the artist and the place which made him. Starting at the Chicago Art Institute, Lindsay discusses Motley's skill as a painter; then at the city's History Museum he explores the toxic racial politics of the 1920s and 1930s. And when he speaks to Chicago's contemporary artists, Lindsay discovers that while Motley's work documented the Chicago of nearly a century ago, it also retains a strong resonance today.

Lady Windermere's Fan

A fresh look at Wilde's masterpiece of secrets, lies and betrayal. His subtitle: 'A play about a good woman'.
Produced by award-winning Jarvis & Ayres Productions. Martin Jarvis directs a star cast: Mira Sorvino, Susannah Fielding, Jonathan Cake, James Callis, Ian Ogilvy, Rosalind Ayres, Peter Woodward. Social outsider Mrs Erlynne and respectable Lord Windermere share a secret. Are they having an affair? Confronted by young wife Margaret, her husband denies it. Unconvinced, she decides to leave him. A roller-coaster examination of 'good' and 'bad'. Deceit. Infidelity. Love. The tell-tale fan becomes a vital clue as the truth finally becomes clear. But who actually is the 'good' woman?
Masterly thriller - its timelessness reflected in specially composed music. Drawing-room comedy turned on its head in Wilde's amazingly up-to-date study of hypocrisy.

SUN 23:00 Sean Shibe's Guitar Zone (m0006n8s)
Adaptations and Collaborations

In the final episode of the series Sean thinks about how the guitar doesn’t have to be a solitary instrument. He finds there are situations where it can work perfectly as a collaborator: in a baroque band or with a solo voice, even in unison with a piano (given the right amplification). Sean also discovers the extra emotional range that an arrangement of a piano piece can find on a guitar, proving that as Julian Bream said, it’s an instrument of the senses.

Sean Shibe is a young, award-winning musician who’s changing the way people listen to the guitar. In this six-part series he presents a personal choice of vibrant and varied pieces by composers from Spanish Renaissance masters to Pat Metheny and Benjamin Britten, with performers including Julian Bream, Andrés Segovia, John Williams, Tilman Hoppstock, Eric Bellocq and Massimo Moscardo. Sean discovers the characters of the extended guitar family, from the oud, lute and vihuela to the Brahms guitar, decachord and electric guitar, and expresses straight-talking views on players of the past and present who have helped shape his own unique approach to the art of guitar playing. With his guitar on his knee he'll also be showing us what to listen for and what’s physically possible on the instrument.

We’ll hear Sean’s philosophical, intellectual and above all emotional take on the music he knows so well. He opens a door into a world that’s full of subtlety and contrast in its expression of culture and style. It’s a world that invites us in with all sorts of mesmeric and surprising sounds.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (m000f5p6)
Beethoven Unleashed: Conversations with Friends

From Haydn's shadow

This week cellist Raphael Wallfisch and violinist Sara Bitlloch join Donald Macleod to talk about Beethoven’s early chamber music from 1795 to 1811, including beloved works such as the ‘Razumovsky’ quartets, the ‘Kreutzer’ violin sonata, and the ‘Ghost’ and ‘Archduke’ piano trios.

Today they look at Beethoven’s emergence from the shadow of both Haydn and Mozart, and how the composer forged a distinctive new style of chamber music.

At the age of 16 Beethoven travelled from his native city of Bonn to Vienna to have lessons with Mozart. It didn’t happen because Beethoven’s mother became ill and he had to return home. He later did have lessons with Haydn, but subsequently said that he’d never learned anything from him!

Beethoven was a virtuoso pianist and, though he loathed performing in public, in the early years of his career in Vienna he relied on his instrumental skill to establish himself as a composer. His early compositions are dominated by piano music; his first big orchestral works are piano concertos not symphonies; and nearly all his early chamber music involves the piano.

Herbert Blomstedt conducts Bach and Mendelssohn

The Baltic Sea Festival.
Penny Gore this week introduces performances by the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Choir recorded at this summer festival based in Stockholm. Today the nonogenarian, Herbert Blomstedt, conducts a joyous solo cantata by Bach and Mendelssohn's Lobgesang,
Bach wrote most of his cantatas in Leipzig. Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen, with its jovial soprano and trumpet parts, really is true to its title: Shout for joy to God in all lands. Over a century later in the same city, Mendelssohn wrote Lobgesang, another work teeming with infectious joy, for the 400th anniversary of the invention of printing. The Herbert Blomstedt, yet another former Leipzig resident, puts all of his experience and skill to realizing this optimistic, life-affirming music. Late in the week, there's music by Zemlinsky, the complete Vespers by Rachmaninov and music by the Swede Hugo Alfven and a hommage to Jenny Linde,'the Swedish Nightingale.'

On 2 May 1589 in Florence, the wedding of Duke Ferdinando I de Medici and Princess Christina of Lorraine was celebrated with one of the most spectacular stage performances in history. Special effects like advanced stage machinery, enormous backdrops and a fire-breathing dragon entertained the wedding guests. Just as spectacular was the music, written by the most famous composers of the time.
Here Mariangiola Martello directs Camerata La Pellegrina in two of these Intermedi in which the story of Florence's supposedly Greek origin is used as an an allegory to celebrate the wedding couple. These Intermedi became so successful that Duke Ferdinando demanded more performances and published the scores.
Presented by Penny Gore.

Zlata Chochieva’s Chopin

A diagnosis of acute depression, insomnia, exhaustion, auditory disturbances, bodily tremors and wide-ranging phobias led Schumann’s doctor to prescribe a complete abandonment of music.
However Schumann’s mind appears to have subsequently risen from its nadir in January of 1846 when he began to consider his Symphony in C major. Rather than give-up, a flurry of composition projects -intricate counterpoints, fugues, tuneful part-songs on poems by Robert Burns- must all have fed his artistic curiosity: resulting in the uplifting 2nd Symphony.
Like Schumann’s symphonies, Chopin’s Piano Concertos were written in the wrong order. His first, written second, by a Chopin set to flee the politically turbulent Warsaw. Its robust melodicism will this evening be brought to life by the brilliant young soloist, Zlata Chochieva.
And the concert opens with a short, myth-haunted piece by Sibelius: The Swan of Tuonela.

Jenn Ashworth - The Abiding Mental Riches of Preston

As an injured soldier under house arrest, Xavier de Maistre staved off boredom by imagining every step around his drawing room was a step across a country; Virginia Woolf’s writerly wandering around central London to buy a pencil exposed the city's transformation in darkness. Inspired by these ironic quests and symbolic expeditions, five contemporary writers embark on walks of entertaining eccentricity.

Lancastrian writer Jenn Ashworth begins these imaginative journeys with a trip to Preston's Harris Museum, Gallery and Library, retracing her teenage footsteps and pondering the mental riches promised within.

Beethoven Unleashed: Conversations with Friends

Instruments get their voice

This week cellist Raphael Wallfisch and violinist Sara Bitlloch join Donald Macleod to talk about Beethoven’s early chamber music from 1795 to 1811, including beloved works such as the ‘Razumovsky’ quartets, the ‘Kreutzer’ violin sonata, and the ‘Ghost’ and ‘Archduke’ piano trios.

Today they look at Beethoven’s innovation of giving chamber music instruments equal roles, blurring the lines between the lead and the accompaniment.

Beethoven’s quintets show him expanding his sound world. In his Opus 29, the shorter-breathed elements of his early quartets give way to a more spacious lyricism, creating an effect of almost orchestral richness and weight.

We’ll also hear from Beethoven’s first set of string quartets, the Opus 18, as well as his second cello sonata.

Held every two years, the festival attracts the finest ensembles and individual musicians from across the globe. Orchestras at last year's festival included the London Symphony Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic, and the calibre of the chamber music making was on the same level.

This week's programmes will feature mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, pianists François-Frédéric Guy and Charles Richard Hamelin and cellist Alexander Kniazev.

In this first programme Joyce DiDonato opens proceedings with Haydn's celebrated solo cantata in which Ariadne bemoans her fate abandoned on Naxos. Canadian pianist Charles Richard Hamelin, in the spirit of celebrating Enescu's musical inspiration to this particular festival, brings us his first piano suite steeped in Baroque form, and that's contrasted with Brahms's final published piano works.

A superb cast of soloists joins the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus for Mendelssohn’s great choral masterpiece of grandeur and soulfulness, his musical telling of the story of the prophet Elijah.

Both Felix Mendelssohn and Sakari Oramo have strong links to the city of Birmingham, which in 1846 saw the premiere of the composer's grand and spectacular musical telling of events from the life, death and ascension of the Old Testament prophet Elijah.

Mendelssohn's work is known for pomp and circumstance, doom and wrath, but this performance is sure to reaffirm Elijah as also a work of great tenderness, a final utterance which the composer considered his greatest achievement.

Chamber music turns pro

This week cellist Raphael Wallfisch and violinist Sara Bitlloch join Donald Macleod to talk about Beethoven’s early chamber music from 1795 to 1811, including beloved works such as the ‘Razumovsky’ quartets, the ‘Kreutzer’ violin sonata, and the ‘Ghost’ and ‘Archduke’ piano trios.

Today they look at how Beethoven’s music, as it developed and became more complex, had the effect of turning chamber music professional: what he was writing was too challenging for amateur players, and often too serious for the salon.

We hear great music from the Razumovsky String Quartets, the Kreutzer Violin Sonata, the Septet and the Kakadu Variations.

The ‘Razumovskys’ were composed between April and November of 1806, at the end of what was an astonishingly productive three years of Beethoven’s life, when he produced a series of radically different masterpieces.

Mozart's final flourish

Iván Fischer, one of today's most exciting conductors, joins forces with the period-instrument Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in Mozart's last three symphonies.

In summer 1788, broke and out of favour with the notoriously fickle Viennese public, Mozart was at a low ebb. Yet in just nine weeks (which included the death of his daughter) he was able to produce a trio of brilliant and brilliantly contrasting symphonies, from the genial and playful No. 39, through the drama and tragedy of No. 40, to the exuberant tour de force of the 'Jupiter's' finale where Mozart seems joyfully to revel in his own genius.

Recorded last week at the Royal Festival Hall and presented by Ian Skelly.

How we talk about sex and women's bodies

Kate Lister started tweeting as Whores of Yore in 2015 to kick off a conversation about how we talk about sex. She has just published A Curious History of Sex, which looks at everything from slang through the ages to medieval impotence tests, the relevance of oysters, bicycling and the tart card.
Robin Mitchell's new book is called Venus Noire: Black Women and Colonial Fantasies in Nineteenth-Century France. In it she traces visual and literary representations of three black women: Sarah Baartmann, popularly known as the Hottentot Venus; Ourika, a young Senegalese girl and Jeanne Duval, long-time lover of the poet Charles Baudelaire.
Fern Riddell's books include The Victorian Guide to Sex and Sex: A Brief History. She hosts the podcast series #NotWhatYouThought and is a historian on the New Generation Thinker scheme which aims to put academic research on the radio. It's a partnership between BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. You can find her talking about depictions of eroticism in a Free Thinking conversation about The Piano and Love https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b6t06b and exploring the life of the singer and suffragette Kitty Marion in a Sunday Feature https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04n2zcp

Beethoven Unleashed: Conversations with Friends

A return to melody

This week cellist Raphael Wallfisch and violinist Sara Bitlloch join Donald Macleod to talk about Beethoven’s early chamber music from 1795 to 1811, including beloved works such as the ‘Razumovsky’ quartets, the ‘Kreutzer’ violin sonata, and the ‘Ghost’ and ‘Archduke’ piano trios.

Beethoven’s composing career is generally divided into three phases: the Early Period, up to 1802; the compositions that make up his Middle Period, the years from 1803 to 1814; and lastly the extraordinary, ambitious works composed between then and his death.

Today we look at Beethoven’s return to lyrical melody in the years around 1800, and hear music including the ‘Harp’ Quartet, the Opus 70 Piano Trio, the third “Razumovsky” String Quartet, and the “Spring” Violin Sonata, containing one of the most famous melodies in Beethoven’s chamber music output.

Today, the second book of piano Preludes by Debussy, written in 1912, just a few years after the first book, these atmospheric pieces create sound worlds all their own in a typically Debussian style. And the Clara Schumann Romances are similarly definitive of her style, which shares so much with her husband Robert's.

Decadence and melodrama: Schreker's The Stigmatized

Schreker's Die Gezeichneten, from Hanover
First performed in 1918 Schreker's Die Gezeichneten, 'The Stigmatized' earned him a reputation as one of Germany's leading composers, on a par with Richard Strauss. The setting may be Renaissance Genoa, but this isn’t the romanticized vision of the past of Wagner or Hans Pfitzner but rather a psychological drama rooted in the writings of Sigmund Freud. The score and the libretto – by Schreker himself – are opulent, melodramatic and decadent and make huge demands on the enormous orchestra.
The bourgeoisie of the city of Genoa is in turmoil: young women have been disappearing and there is something to fear. A clique of eight noblemen have been living out their desires on the island of Elysium. Alviano Salvago has made this island a haven of absolute beauty and harmony - in compensation for his own physical ugliness. When Alviano learns of the machinations of his fellow noblemen he tells them that he intends to transfer the island to the citizens of the city, thereby setting events in motion that he can no longer control.
Presented by Penny Gore introduces this performance recorded last year at the State Opera, Hanover.

Synopsis
Sixteenth century Genoa
Act 1
The young Genoan nobleman Alviano Salvago, hunchbacked and deformed, does not dare dream of the love of women. He wants to donate to the people of Genoa the island paradise called "Elysium" he has created. His friends, a group of dissolute young noblemen, have been using an underground grotto on the island for orgies with young women abducted from prominent Genoan families, and intervene with Duke Adorno to stop the transfer of ownership. One of them, Count Tamare, has set his sights on Carlotta, daughter of the Podestà. Carlotta rejects him, as she is only interested in Salvago, whose soul she wants to paint.
Act 2
Infuriated by Carlotta's rejection, Tamare swears to Adorno that he will take her by force. He also reveals the secret of the grotto to Adorno. Not wanting Salvago to become more popular than himself as a result of the gift, Adorno decides to use the existence of the secret grotto as an excuse to veto the transfer. While Salvago is sitting for Carlotta, she complains that she can't paint his soul if he keeps avoiding looking at her. To which he responds that ugly as he is, he still has the feelings of a man in the presence of a beautiful woman... Eventually Carlotta confesses that she loves him, but faints in his arms as both are overcome with emotion.
Act 3
The citizens of Genoa go to the island for the first time and are awed by what they see. Salvago asks the Podestà for Carlotta's hand in marriage. She evades him, wanders off alone, and in the grotto finally succumbs to Tamare who's wearing a mask. The Duke accuses Salvago of masterminding the abductions. Salvago, beside himself with worry for Carlotta, leads everyone to the underground grotto. Carlotta lies senseless on a bed, while Tamare prides himself on his conquering abilities. Salvago stabs him. Carlotta awakens, Salvago rushes to her side, but with her dying breath she calls for Tamare. Salvago, completely deranged, stumbles over Tamare's body as he makes his way through the stunned crowd.

Berg and Beethoven

Simon Rattle has made the not very difficult prediction that Beethoven will be ‘absolutely inescapable’ this year, the 250th anniversary of his birth. He's made sure of it in this concert which pairs Berg's Violin Concerto with Beethoven's rarely heard oratorio Christ on the Mount of Olives. Rarely heard perhaps because when it's judged by the yardstick Beethoven himself set (it comes from the same year, 1803, as the mould-breaking Eroica Symphony), it falls short. But there's much to enjoy here and it's hard to know why it's been so thoroughly neglected. It focuses on Jesus's humanity as it tells the story of His last hours, Calvary looming but not depicted. Be prepared for some striking music, including an atmospheric orchestral introduction, stirring choruses and coloratura arias. And a performance of anything with the LSO and the Simon Halsey-prepared LSO Chorus conducted by Rattle is going to be special.

Berg's 1935 Violin Concerto has long been considered a 20th-century classic. Dedicated by Berg 'To the memory of an angel' (the 18-year-old daughter of Berg's close friends), it manages to walk the tightrope of 12-tone technique and recognisable tonality, movingly including a Bach chorale at the beginning of its final movement. It's played tonight by world-renowned Georgian-born German violinist Lisa Batiashvili.

Presented live from the Barbican Hall by Martin Handley.

As an injured soldier under house arrest, Xavier de Maistre staved off boredom by imagining every step around his drawing room was a step across a country; Virginia Woolf’s writerly wandering around central London to buy a pencil exposed the city's transformation in darkness.
Inspired by these ironic quests and symbolic expeditions, five contemporary writers embark on walks of entertaining eccentricity.
In this episode, journalist, writer and keen walker Nat Segnit seeks recovery and retreat in the unseen mountains of Ibiza, a mysticism-inspired path once trodden by Walter Benjamin

The Swedish Nightingale

The Baltic Sea Festival: The Swedish Nightingale, a tribute to Jenny Lind, Sweden's first international superstar
Jenny Lind, born two hundred years ago, was Sweden’s first international superstar, and counted H C Andersen, Felix Mendelssohn, Clara Schumann and even England’s Queen Victoria among her admirers. Here, she is celebrated by two of today’s Swedish opera stars: Elin Rombo, who was awarded the Jenny Lind grant in 1999, and Annie Ternström, last year’s winner of Young Artists.
Johanna Maria Lind was born in 1820 and retired early from the opera stage. One of the greatest ever Swedish stars, she was never called anything other than Jenny. It is difficult to really comprehend how idolized this young singer was: she achieved tremendous international fame in the five years since she made her debut in Berlin in 1844. H.C. Andersen said of her that no one else had such a profound influence over him as a poet: “She opened the door to the sacred rooms of art for me.” After retiring from the stage aged just 29, she toured far and wide; on her arrival in New York, she was met by 30,000 cheering people and disembarked to a cascade of flowers. The tour manager, the legendary entrepreneur P.T. Barnum, sold concert tickets by auction and the deeply religious Jenny Lind donated almost all of her unimaginable income to charity after the tour. But what significance does Jenny Lind have for us today? Is she just a glimmering fantasy or a face on a Swedish banknote, or can she open the door to the sacred rooms of art even for us?
Also today, Tchaikovsky's evergreen Sleeping Beauty.

Jenny Lind was Sweden’s first international superstar, and counted H C Andersen, Felix Mendelssohn, Clara Schumann and even England’s Queen Victoria among her admirers. Here, she is celebrated by two of today’s Swedish opera stars: Elin Rombo, who was awarded the Jenny Lind grant in 1999, and Annie Ternström, last year’s winner of Young Artists.
Way out west in the United States, on the road between San Francisco and the El Dorado National Forest, is the old mining community, Jenny Lind, near New Lake Hogan. 450 miles north, a herd of musk oxen graze on Jenny Lind Island’s grassy meadows in Nunavut in Canada in the North Arctic Ocean. In another part of the world, smoke and steam billow forth out of a majestic Jenny Lind locomotive on a historic railway in England. But who was Jenny Lind, the Swedish nightingale?
In 1820, Johanna Maria Lind was born, one of the greatest ever Swedish stars. She was never called anything other than Jenny. It is difficult to really comprehend how idolized this young singer was. She was just 29 years old when she retired from the opera stage, having achieved tremendous international fame in the five years since she made her debut in Berlin in 1844. H.C. Andersen said of her that no one else had such a profound influence over him as a poet: “She opened the door to the sacred rooms of art for me.”
Jenny Lind was enrolled as a student at the Royal Opera when she was nine years old, five years younger than the minimum enrolment age. In her own words, she was “a small, ugly, timid, awkward little girl with a broad nose and stunted growth”. But she could sing like no other, and her debut as Agathe in Der Freischütz (The Marksman) at the age of 17 took the audience’s breath away. She had tremendous drive, a unique voice, amazing coloratura and a diminuendo that diminished into nothingness. She had an intense presence on stage as well as in life. But she also experienced stage fright before performances and could be curt and unkind to the people around her.
The year after her final opera performance, she embarked on a tour of America that left its mark on the world to the extent that her name is still recognised almost 200 years later. On her arrival in New York, she was met by 30,000 cheering people and disembarked to a cascade of flowers. The tour manager, the legendary entrepreneur P.T. Barnum, sold concert tickets by auction and the deeply religious Jenny Lind donated almost all of her unimaginable income to charity after the tour.
But what significance does Jenny Lind have for us today? Just a glimmering fantasy or a face on a banknote, or can she open the door to the sacred rooms of art even for us?

Vladimir Jurowski and the London Philharmonic celebrate Beethoven’s 250th birthday with 2020 VISION, a conversation between the past, the present and the future of music. Tonight the orchestra's charismatic Principal Conductor leads them in works by Beethoven, Scriabin and Péter Eötvös premiered in the first years of the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
In his First Symphony, Beethoven announced his arrival in Haydn's Vienna with a work that threw open the doors on a universe of new musical possibilities. A century later, the young Alexander Scriabin wrote a Second Symphony whose surging melodies and ardent spirit stand on the brink of a new revelation: and in 2001, Péter Eötvös premiered a short work for a trumpet with two bells and word fragments.
Recorded at the Royal Festival Hall last Saturday.
Presented by Martin Handley

FRI 22:00 The Verb (b0b2m7zt)
Jan Morris

In a special extended conversation with Ian McMillan, the travel writer Jan Morris looks back over a career in writing that has spanned seven decades and explains what it is that keeps her returning to her writing desk every day at the age of 91. Jan Morris has just published 'Battleship Yamato: Of War, Beauty and Irony' (Pallas Athene) - it's the story of a ship that has always fascinated her, but, as she tells Ian, more importantly it is a portrait of the ship as an allegory for war itself. Jan has always been interested in allegory, as she says 'everything turns out to have more than one meaning'.

Jan takes us inside her writing practice, including discussion of her strong musical sense (she even sings sentences aloud), her love of the exclamation mark and why three is the magic number when it comes to writing drafts. Finally, after a life-time of making connections and putting them into words, and considering what she believes is the 'self-centred' nature of her job, Jan is an advocate for 'kindness', which she calls 'the ultimate virtue'.

Presenter: Ian McMillan
Producer: Penny Boreham.


FRI 22:45 The Essay (m000f7ph)
Strange Strolls

Sophie Coulombeau - Walking Matilda

As an injured soldier under house arrest, Xavier de Maistre staved off boredom by imagining every step around his drawing room was a step across a country; Virginia Woolf’s writerly wandering around central London to buy a pencil exposed the city's transformation in darkness.
Inspired by these ironic quests and symbolic expeditions, five contemporary writers embark on walks of entertaining eccentricity.
Author and academic Sophie Coulombeau completes these imaginative journeys with a baby buggy in York - a city and self she thought she once knew, but now seem elusive and uncanny.
Producer: Ciaran Bermingham


FRI 23:00 Late Junction (m000f7pk)
Modern Love

Does the avant garde fall in love? Can you fall in love with a spoon? As couples across the country finish their Valentines dinner for two, Jennifer Lucy Allan settles in for two hours of the most unconventional takes on love that we can find. Expect odes to inanimate objects, love cassettes from Tony Conrad’s Four Violins, amorous country funk from Jim Ford, songs for the lonesome by one-man outsider band Abner Jay and lover’s rock from Sonya Spence. Luc Ferrari’s steamy Danses Organiques also makes an appearance, centring on a strange meeting between two girls and a tape recorder accompanied with spiralling musique concrete and his observations on ‘organ-ic’ music, possibly the most sexy piece of musique concrete ever put to tape.

Also tonight, Jennifer has democratic post-punk from Ut, a performance by the late cellist Charles Curtis and shimmering chords for the last Glaciation by Richard Skelton.

Produced by Alannah Chance.
A Reduced Listening Production for BBC Radio 3.
