SATURDAY 21 NOVEMBER 2020

SAT 00:00 Late Junction (m000phw7)
Spoken word which tastes like peaches

In this hour-long edition of the programme Verity Sharp presents spoken word which ‘tastes like peaches, metal and blood’ from Lukasz Polowczyk's new project Ain’t About Me, a composition from Iranian artist and political prisoner Mehdi Rajabian and tape music ‘in the key of no’ from Alice Kemp.

Plus we speculate on what a post-apocalyptic Britain would sound like with composer Iain Chambers’ latest work exploring a decommissioned Ministry of Defence site at Orford Ness on the Suffolk coast. Since the Ministry of Defence left in 1993, the buildings have been overrun by nature. Chambers records air ducts packed with nests of roosting birds, seagulls crowding former atomic weapon labs and metal stairwells transformed into Aeolian harps.

Produced by Frank Palmer.

9.30am Building a Library: Flora Willson on Mozart’s The Magic Flute, K. 620

Mozart's masonic opera is a wonderful but challenging combination of the high moral seriousness of the two young lovers Tamino and Pamina with the low knockabout comedy of Papageno and his feathered girlfriend, Papagena. It can be difficult to bring off in the theatre and recording studio because of these different levels which need to be brought together. And some of the female and racial stereotypes haven't aged well. But this quintessential piece of late Mozart distils all the humanity and beauty that people love in his operas.

SAT 11:45 Music Matters (m000pm81)
Kate Molleson talks to folk singer songwriter Sam Amidon about his new album and breathing new life into his American folk heritage. We hear from the author Anne Searcy, too, about her new book on the role ballet played in US-Soviet Cold War relations. And Kate is joined by Allegra Kent, one of the prima ballerinas of New York City Ballet who toured to the USSR at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Aidan Moffat, vocalist and one half of the band Arab Strap, and songwriter Crispin Hunt, chair of the Ivors Academy, join Kate to discuss the economic impact of music streaming.

As this year's Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival adapts to lockdown, we’ve a series of postcards from new music programmers across the UK who describe how COVID-19 has affected the contemporary music scene. And we speak with the folk artist Martha Wainwright, who tells us about her new music venue in Montreal.

SAT 13:00 Inside Music (m000g4vy)
Fiddle singer and composer Nancy Kerr with creative connections

Nancy Kerr is a multi-award-winning fiddle singer and songwriter. As a musician, she brings her own individual take to traditional folk material and as a writer she combines folk mythology with tales of 21st century life.

Today, Nancy chooses pieces that highlight the lines of connection between some wildly different musical styles, including Bartok dances played first by the Budapest Festival Orchestra, and then the Romani group Taraf De Haïdouks. There’s also Gaelic music inspired by masters of the Italian baroque, and a song by Vaughan Williams that goes back to its earthy roots.

Plus romantic pieces for violin and piano by Dvorak, an orchestral favourite by Gustav Holst and some brain-taxing miniatures by JS Bach.

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

Leoncavallo's Zazà

Leoncavallo's Zazà recorded earlier this year at the Theater an der Wien, Vienna, with soprano Svetlana Aksenova in the title role. Rarely heard these days but a world-wide success at the turn of the 20th century, this lyric comedy tells the story of Parisian music-hall singer Zazà and her rejected lover Milio, sung here by tenor Nikolai Schukoff, in an atmosphere imbued with the culture and flavours of French café music, which Leoncavallo was acquainted with from his days spent in France. Stefan Soltész conducts singers, the Arnold Schoenberg Chorus and the ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra, Vienna.
Presented by Flora Willson.

SYNOPSIS
Zazà is the acclaimed star of the Alcazar variety theatre in St. Etienne, a provincial French town somewhere beyond the outskirts of Paris. All the men adore her, with the exception of the Parisian businessman Milio Dufresne who seems to prefer her rival, Floriana. What seems unobtainable becomes the thing most desired: Zazà has long had her eye on the obstinate man and now enters into a wager with the journalist Bussy that he will fall for her in next to no time. The conquest is easy for her, since Milio secretly desires Zazà but has not yet had the courage to approach a woman coveted by so many, not least because he fears for his reputation. Zazà’s bold attempt to seduce him quickly dispels his misgivings and the two become lovers. However, this conquest prompted by ambition proves Zazà’s undoing. She falls deeply in love with Milio, and wants to marry him and leave the music hall behind. But the dream is shattered when Cascart, her stage colleague and former lover, tells her that he saw Milio in Paris with another woman. Furious, Zazà travels to Paris and bursts into Milio’s flat to fight for her future with her rival. But the only person she finds there is a little girl: Totò, Milio’s daughter. The girl tells the nice stranger all about her mother and that the little family will soon be going to America. Gradually Zazà realises that Milio is married and has been lying to her about his circumstances all along. When Madame Dufresne eventually comes home she is surprised to see a stranger in her living room. Zazà tells her that she accidentally came to the wrong address and then leaves. She decides not to destroy the family’s happiness, remembering her own childhood misery and not wishing to inflict the same fate on little Totò: Zazà's father left her mother Anaide who then took to drink. When Milio next comes to Zazà she ends their affair. He then reveals to her his true, conservative attitudes, and she is left without so much as a happy memory of romantic love. She sadly accepts that her fate is to be a music hall star.

The broadcasts will include a 70th birthday concert for James Dillon on Sunday – featuring the World Premiere of Pharmakeia from the London Sinfonietta and a specially recorded and previously unheard piano work written for Noriko Kawai – as well as a plethora of premieres from Explore Ensemble on Friday, and tonight the innovative piano/percussion combo GBSR Duo and clarinettist Heather Roche.’



SUNDAY 22 NOVEMBER 2020

SUN 00:00 Freeness (m000pm8g)
South African Soul Music

Catchy hooks and chaotic group interplay captured live from Louis Moholo-Moholo’s Unit. As the last surviving member of the beloved South African group the Blue Notes, drummer Moholo-Moholo leads an all-star octet in celebrating the bands lasting influence in a rousing concert recorded in Milan, Italy, in 2012.

Plus, there’s music that reflects on lost connections by piecing together two isolated performances from violinist Florence Rutherfoord-Jones and drummer Jonathan Lodder. Neither heard what the other had played until the tracks were mixed, months later. The end result is a cohesive piece that captures the energy of two collaborating musicians.

Today, a breezy dance from Rameau’s ballet Zephyre, a symphonic poem that conjures up the cold forests and lakes of Finland, and a haunting Norwegian song reflecting a frozen stillness.

There’ll also be some warm nostalgia with Glenn Miller and his Orchestra, plus a gently dramatic waltz from Ravel’s Mother Goose suite.

A Tandem Production for BBC Radio 3


SUN 12:00 Private Passions (m0004s49)
Barbara Hosking

Barbara Hosking was born above her father’s dairy in Penzance, back in the 1920s, and ended up in the corridors of power serving two British prime ministers. Two years ago, at the age of 90, she decided to come out as gay, which, she says, is the best thing she’s ever done.

Barbara Hosking talks to Michael Berkeley about moving from Cornwall to a new world in London after the War, meeting Eastern European emigres and discovering lesbian clubs where women could dance together openly. All sorts of women were there, from the posh to the very poor, from “respectable” women to prostitutes. Despite her early Labour party affiliation, she found herself working for Edward Heath, whom she admired greatly, and who she persuaded not to wear a terrible old cardigan when he was conducting with the London Symphony Orchestra. She talks too about finding happiness late in life with her partner Margaret.

Music choices include Edward Heath conducting Elgar, Strauss’s opera Ariadne Auf Naxos, Schubert’s Winterreise, and Britten’s Billy Budd. And a love song in Yiddish, a language she taught herself and which she loves.

SUN 17:00 The Listening Service (b08t15sq)
The Power of Three

From medieval English music to the Everly Brothers - what is it about the musical interval of the third that sounds so attractive? Why does a major third tend to feel positive, and a minor third tend to feel sad? Nature or nurture? And what about their dark cousin, the tritone - the so-called "Devil in Music" - what on earth can be that sinister about a couple of notes?

Tom Service is joined by Dr Adam Ockelford to try and find some answers.


SUN 17:30 Words and Music (m000pm8s)
Razor Sharp

From barbers to seashells, sharp notes to cutting remarks. With readings by Clare Corbett and OT Fagbenle, today's programme plays with the phrase ‘razor sharp’, revelling in the drama and disruption inherent in these two short words. We'll hear the writing of Jane Austen, Dorothy Parker and Sandra Cisneros, and an example of the wonderful one-upmanship of Ethel Merman singing Anything You Can Do. Robert Graves looks at the unshaven ‘Face in the Mirror’ and Rossini’s Barber of Seville and Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd compete to showcase their particular wares. Gangs of youths from Peaky Blinders to Graham Greene’s Brighton Rock emanate menace, razors glinting in the sunshine, or tucked neatly into caps. Dizzee Rascal might be looking sharp, but it’s the words of Malcolm X which cut through. You can hear how he moves from sharp-suited youth to the civil rights activist whose racially charged words challenge white Americans in the 1960s. Musically, Erich Wolfgang Korngold and JS Bach play with sharp keys, while Handel’s music floats across the water as the 18th-century pleasure barge organised by the Sharp family glides down the Thames.

SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature (m000pm8v)
The Myth and Mystery of Anja Thauer

Anja Thauer was a young German cellist on the brink of stardom in the 1960s. She won the Grand Prix at the Paris Conservatoire, signed with Deutsche Grammophon, released two critically acclaimed albums, and toured internationally. And then, a tragic end: she took her own life in 1973, aged 28, after starting an affair with a married doctor in Wiesbaden. Five days later, he took his own life.

Thauer remains a cult figure among collectors of rare records, who will sometimes pay four-figure sums for original copies of her LPs. But her story has never been properly told. Why not? In this Sunday Feature, music journalist Phil Hebblethwaite discovers that her position in music history may have been intentionally obscured by her mother – a former violin virtuoso – who exerted complete control over her daughter’s career, and subsequently her legacy.

And was Thauer’s career also overshadowed by the success of Jacqueline du Pré at a time when classical music perhaps wasn’t ready for two female star cellists? Their stories have uncanny similarities. They were the same age, studied together at the Paris Conservatoire, and their careers both ended in 1973 – when Thauer died and du Pré was diagnosed with MS.

The documentary starts in a charity shop in west London, with Hebblethwaite finding a copy of a Thauer’s recording of the Dvořák Cello Concerto. We meet critics who have spent years trying to find out more about Thauer and hear from those who knew and worked by her, including the conductors Zdeněk Mácal and Neville Dilkes, and the pianist Claude Françaix. And we head to Germany too, to research Thauer’s mother Ruth, and to try and understand the complicated relationship she had with her gifted daughter.

SUN 19:30 Drama on 3 (m000pm8x)
Life is a Radio in the Dark

by Will Eno

Davey Maskelyne ..... Toby Jones
Dr. Baines ..... Colin Stinton
Sgt. Castor ..... Fenella Woolgar
Maud ..... Cecilia Appiah
Gallery Director ..... Kenneth Collard
Jennifer ..... Clare Corbett
Jesse ..... Luke Nunn
Courtney ..... Charlotte East
Audio Guide ..... Roger Ringrose
Park Woman ..... Emma Handy
Jim ..... Carl Prekopp
Granddaughter ..... Alejandra Howard

Producer .... Sally Avens

When Davey Maskelyne embarks upon sonic therapy to restore his memory so he can help solve a crime the treatment leads to a reckoning with a past he never believed he could recover. The play wittily tangles with questions of loss and memory. What is a person without a past? Might we be better living in the moment? And how does sound give us a more profound experience of that past?

A binaural soundtrack gives the audience a chance to experience the sound world for themselves.

Will Eno is one of America's most exciting playwrights. Eno first burst on to the scene in Britain with his play Thom Pain (based on nothing) which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama.

In 2014 his play The Realistic Joneses appeared on Broadway where it received a Drama Desk Special Award and was named Best Play on Broadway by USA Today and Best American Play of 2014 by The Guardian. His play The Open House was presented Off-Broadway at the Signature Theatre in 2014 and won the Obie Award for Playwriting as well as other awards, and was on both TIME Magazine and Time Out New York's Top Ten Plays of 2014.

Will wrote this play specifically for Toby Jones :

Toby Jones is one of our country's best character actors. He made his breakthrough as Truman Capote in the film 'Infamous' and has gone on to appear in numerous other films including Frost/Nixon, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Hunger Games.

He was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Actor in a Television film for his roles as Alfred Hitchcock in The Girl and he won a BAFTA for his role in The Detectorists. He was starring in an acclaimed production of Uncle Vanya when lockdown occurred. Radio 3 broadcast 'Henry IV Part 1' starring Toby Jones as Falstaff in March and his performance met with huge praise from the critics calling Jones 'the great comic actor of our time' and the production 'lockdown gold'.


SUN 21:00 The Art of Simplicity with Stuart Maconie (m000pm8z)
The Grand Scheme of Things

Broadcaster Stuart Maconie is fascinated by the way composers and musicians have found inspiration and innovation in the principles of simplicity. In this two-part series, he investigates how the idea of purity and taking things back to basics has meant different things at different times.

Episode two looks at how simplicity doesn’t necessarily mean small forces and sparse sonic worlds, that simple music can also emulate monolithic austerity and colossal form. These techniques are heard in pieces like Ellen Arkbro’s immersive organ drones and their awe-inspiring, massive escarpments of sound. The grandness of simplicity is also found in the works of the so-called holy minimalists, composers like Arvo Part who have used techniques of frugality of expression, silence and stasis to evoke the mystical or divine.

‘Simple’ music can exude a freshness that can be bright or grave, vivacious or solemn and is not the same as easy listening. It is never tricksy, dry or freighted with self-regard, but above all else, music. Pure and simple.

SUN 22:00 New Music Show (m000pm91)
New Music Show at hcmf 2020 (3/3)

Tom Service presents live from Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, with a concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London. This programme celebrates the 70th birthday of composer James Dillon, with the premieres of two major works.

James Dillon: Pharmakeia (WP)
London Sinfonietta conducted by Geoffrey Paterson

James Dillon: Echo the Angelus (WP)
Noriko Kawai (piano)

Also tonight, Robert Worby interviews James Dillon in depth about his music.

One of the world’s most acclaimed composers, Dillon’s route was unexpected: he initially played in bands, teaching himself how to play and compose music. In the past 40 years, he has gone on to make music that many consider the genre’s most daunting and complex. Really, though, it is just that it is his work that only an artist this restless could envision and execute. His music twists through modes of expression. At times it is bombastic, employing striking phrases and intense bursts of energy; at others, it is enchantingly mysterious, referencing historic poetic tomes and ancient painters. Tangled up in Dillon’s web is a confounding kind of music: it pulls listeners in before having them pull it apart, all in search of an answer.

Pharmakeia is a four-part cycle that began with 2017’s Circe. Tonight is the premiere of all four movements, performed in their entirety. Pharmakeia celebrates Dillon’s 70th birthday perfectly: it draws on a typical set of ‘eclectic influences’ and niche passions, paying tribute to the Greek goddess of magic Circe through music that seems able to create illusions and shift shape. The ensemble promises an ‘otherworldly, unnerving fairy-tale’, a piece that speaks not only to the mystery of Dillon’s work, but also his ability to pull off feats of magic.

Joining Pharmakeia is something completely different: a piece of solo piano music from four years ago that has only now found its way to the stage. An artist whose piano work has been esteemed as ‘the most significant contribution to the pianist’s repertoire since Ligeti’s Etudes’, Dillon’s Book of Elements series uses the instrument to build an insurmountable tension. In this broadcast, renowned Japanese pianist Noriko Kawai will premiere echo the angelus, traversing the piece’s ‘eerie silences’ and ‘unsettling mood’.

Kawai has maintained close contact with the composer’s work since 2006, when she performed his piano piece Andromeda. She has had a long time to sit with echo the angelus, but for her, it’s Fate that it should reach the world in 2020. She says it echoes a world in lockdown: ‘it takes me to somewhere unknown, a deadly silence, where fragile, transient memories leave poignant, bittersweet afterimages’. One of Dillon’s most evocative pieces ever, Kawai characterises it as ‘heart-wrenching’, a piece that emphasises the composer’s love of fragile, breaking sound.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, hcmf 2020 is taking place on Radio 3 and online for three days (Friday, November 20 – Sunday, November 22) over what would normally have been the festival’s first weekend. Two specially commissioned audio-visual installations will also be on show at venues in Huddersfield for a limited and socially distanced public.

The New Music Show across three consecutive nights presents exclusive live broadcasts showcasing the festival’s varied programme, including premieres, fixtures of the experimental scene, and music by the icons and rising stars of contemporary classical music.

The broadcasts will include a 70th birthday concert for James Dillon tonight – featuring the World Premiere of Pharmakeia from the London Sinfonietta and a specially recorded and previously unheard piano work written for Noriko Kawai – as well as a plethora of premieres from Explore Ensemble on Friday, and two innovative duos last tonight: Heather Roche (clarinet) and Eva Zöllner (accordion); and piano/percussion combo GBSR Duo.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b09wvkfs)
Carlo Gesualdo (1566-1613)

Getting Away With Murder

Donald Macleod looks at the life and music of Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa, notorious for the murder of his first wife and cousin, Maria d'Avalos. In his earliest extant composition, he pleads for divine mercy for his misdeeds. This was written several years before committing a brutal murder to defend his honour. Until the death of his older brother, Carlo Gesualdo was always destined for a career in the Church. But on becoming the heir to the house of Gesualdo he married his beautiful cousin, Maria d'Avalos, said to be the most beautiful woman in Naples. Later, learning of her infidelity, he was obliged to act to preserve the honour of his house. Donald recounts some of the horrendous events of that night in 1590 when Gesualdo - a man passionately interested in music and in hunting - would deal with his wife and her lover.

MON 22:45 The Essay (b01nt1y6)
New Generation Thinkers at 10

Should biographers imitate their subjects?

Would you don a diving suit or take a drug in a quest to understand the life of someone else? "Following in the footsteps" is an obsession for biographers as they travel the world to bring their subjects to life, sometimes with dangerous consequences.

Hull University Professor of Creative Writing Martin Goodman, biographer of the sorcerer Carlos Castaneda, the Indian mystic Mother Meera and the scientist John Scott Haldane, draws on visits to high peaks, the seabed, coal mines and monasteries to reveal the challenges of the biographer's art. This episode was recorded at Sage Gateshead at the Free Thinking Festival in 2012.

The New Generation Thinkers scheme is 10 years old in 2020. Jointly run by BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council, each year it offers ten academics at the start of their careers a chance to bring fascinating research to a wider public. This week we hear five essays from this last decade of stimulating ideas. You can also find a playlist of Documentaries, Discussions and other Essays by New Generation Thinkers on the Free Thinking website and over the weekend of November 28th and 29th they will appear across a variety of Radio 3 music programmes.

Carlo Gesualdo (1566-1613)

A Second Marriage

Donald Macleod looks at the extraordinary life and music of Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa.

A mere two years after murdering his first wife, the beautiful Donna Maria d'Avalos, Gesualdo is betrothed to marry another eligible woman - Leonora d'Este. He sets out for the Este court at Ferrara and, among the 300 items of luggage he transports there, takes care to pack his books of madrigals. The experience of Ferrara's wondrous musical culture will profoundly influence his own compositions. As to the second marriage - it was barely happier than Gesualdo's first.

Beethoven, Fardon and Dvorak String Quartets

Celebrating its 76th anniversary in 2020, Cheltenham Music Festival presents a series of live recitals from St David's Hall in Cardiff.

The Carducci Quartet play Beethoven's "Serioso" quartet, a work that may well reflect the personal anxieties besetting Beethoven at the time he wrote it in 1810. Bringing us right up to the present day, commissioned by the Festival, the young British composer Daniel Fardon's new work "Elements of Disco" receives its world premiere. The programme ends in a rather happier frame of mind than Beethoven was experiencing. It's been suggested that Dvořák found the inspiration for his American Quartet during the early morning walks he took during an especially happy summer visit to Spillville in north-east Iowa.

Introduced by Nicola Heywood Thomas

BBC Symphony Orchestra at Maida Vale

The BBC Symphony Orchestra's recent music-making at its home at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios in London may be scaled down in terms of numbers of players in the room, but not in terms of ambition. There are three pieces by living composers to enjoy this evening, starting with Anna Clyne's 'Sound and Fury' in which influences from Haydn's Symphony No. 60 and the final speech of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' appear. Gavin Higgins turns to words by Oscar Wilde in a short elegiac work for brass and percussion 'Sadly now the throstle sings' - adapted from his pioneering ballet score for brass band, 'Dark Arteries'. Finn Magnus Lindberg's brass band showcase 'Ottoni' gets a high-octane performance from the BBC SO's brass. And the connections of literature and dance are summed up in the fairy-tale charm and exceptional orchestral colours of Ravel's ballet 'Mother Goose'.

Presented by Martin Handley.
Recorded at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios in October 2020

New Generation Thinkers at 10

Byron, celebrity and fan mail

Corin Throsby looks at the extraordinary fan mail received by the poet Lord Byron. The New Generation Thinkers scheme is ten years old in 2020. Jointly run by BBC and the Arts and Humanities Research Council, each year it offers ten academics at the start of their careers a chance to bring fascinating research to a wider public. This week we hear five essays from this last decade of stimulating ideas.

We think of fan mail as a recent phenomenon, but in the early 19th century the poet Byron received hundreds of letters from lovesick admirers. Cambridge academic Corin Throsby takes us on a journey into Byron's intimate fan mail and shows what those letters reveal about the creation of a celebrity culture that has continued into the present.

This essay was recorded in front of an audience at the BBC Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival 2011 at Sage Gateshead.

WED 12:00 Composer of the Week (b09wvs3l)
Carlo Gesualdo (1566-1613)

A Matter of Love and Death

Donald Macleod continues his look at the life and music of Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa. Now remarried, Gesualdo is far from being a model husband. There are whispers that he abuses her verbally, and sometimes physically. Certainly, they spend many months apart. As ever, Gesualdo is obsessed with music, and in common with some of his contemporaries further explores the expressive possibilities of chromaticism and counterpoint in madrigals and motets. Both Gesualdo and Leonora, his wife, take delight in their young son Alfonsino, but will be devastated when the infant falls ill and dies.

WED 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (m000p01f)
Poulenc, Debussy and Gershwin

In the second of Cheltenham Music Festival's live recitals, Julian Bliss and pianist Tim Horton take to the stage at St David's Hall with a varied programme of music for clarinet and piano. Poulenc's Clarinet Sonata is full of the composer's trademark melodies and sparkling wit. Debussy's Premiere rhapsodie was written to test the mettle of Paris Conservatoire students. There's a link between Poulenc and Leonard Bernstein's clarinet sonatas, as Bernstein gave the first performance of Poulenc's in 1963. Julian rounds off with Joseph Horowitz's sunny and melodious three-movement Sonatina, written in 1981 for another great performer, Gervase de Peyer.

Live from St David's Hall in Cardiff.

Introduced by Nicola Heywood Thomas

Poulenc: Sonata for clarinet and piano

WED 19:30 Radio 3 in Concert (m000pp7m)
Rearranging for Silent Cinema

Thomas Kemp conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in a fascinating programme of works adapted for salon forces. Kathryn Rudge joins the orchestra for two works; Strauss's Four Songs, in a reduced version by his contemporary Arnold Wilke, and Schoenberg's Song of the Wood Dove, from his seminal Gurrelieder, re-orchestrated for chamber forces by his friend and colleague, Erwin Stein. Before the interval, we move away from Vienna for Alexander Goehr's Broken Lute, a piece based on a traditional Chinese story, which has been reworked for chamber orchestra from a solo violin piece.

After the interval, the programme culminates with Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier Suite, but in a very different form. Strauss rewrote his opera for a silent film version in 1925, scored for a theatre orchestra, and tonight it is in this adapted form that we will hear the suite of the work.

Strauss, arr Wilke: Four Songs, Op.27
Schoenberg, arr Stein: Lied der Waldtaube (Gurrelieder)
Goehr: Broken Lute, Op 78a

Louisa Egbunike teaches African/Caribbean Literature at Durham University, has published A Companion to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and is a convener of the Annual International Igbo Conference at SOAS.

Victoria Donovan is the author of the first ever study of the Russian Northwest and its role in imagining the Soviet and Russian nations: Chronicles in Stone: Preservation, Patriotism and Identity in Northwest Russia. She teaches at the University of St Andrews.

Alistair Fraser is the author of Gangs and Crime: Critical Alternatives and Urban Legends: Gang Identity in the Post-Industrial City which was co-awarded the British Society of Criminology Book Prize. He teaches at the University of Glasgow.

They are all New Generation Thinkers on the scheme run by BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council to select ten early career academics each year to turn their research into radio. There are now 100 academics who have experienced the scheme and you can find a playlist featuring essays, features and discussions on the Free Thinking website.

Producer: Robyn Read


WED 22:45 The Essay (m000pp7r)
New Generation Thinkers at 10

Beastly Politics

From pension schemes for police force dogs to political rights - can other animals be regarded as members of our democratic communities, with rights to political consideration, representation or even participation? New Generation Alasdair Cochrane, from the University of Sheffield, believes that the exclusion of non-humans from civic institutions cannot be justified, and explores recent attempts in court to re-imagine a political world that takes animals seriously.

The Essay was recorded in front of an audience at BBC Radio 3's Free Thinking Festival of Ideas at Sage Gateshead in 2014. The court case referred to in the Essay was ruled on by a court in New York in 2017 when it was judged that in the case of caged adult male chimps Tommy and Kiko that there is no precedent for apes being considered people.

The New Generation Thinkers scheme is ten years old in 2020. Jointly run by BBC and the Arts and Humanities Research Council, each year it offers ten academics at the start of their careers a chance to bring fascinating research to a wider public. This week we hear five essays from this last decade of stimulating ideas.

You can find a playlist of other Essays, Documentaries and Discussions featuring New Generation Thinkers from across the different years on the Free Thinking website.

Carlo Gesualdo (1566-1613)

Sorcery and Sacred Songs

Donald Macleod continues the strange and sometimes baffling tale of Carlo Gesualdo. Frequently ill and afflicted with melancholy, he is caught up in an extraordinary scandal involving two lovers and a potentially deadly charge of dabbling in witchcraft. Nor is his wife Leonora free from the danger of spells and enchantment. She even calls on the services of an exorcist priest to deliver the castle from malign forces at work. Despite this disturbing background, Gesualdo works on writing some of his finest and most moving sacred music.

Organ music by Gowers, Parks, Ravel and Kerensa Briggs

In the third of Cheltenham Music Festival's series of recitals, organist Anna Lapwood plays an imaginatively sequenced programme of music on the St David's Hall organ. Framed by two of Patrick Gowers' works, Owain Park's "Images" was inspired by a text taken from a poem by Walt Whitman, "word over all, beautiful as the sky, beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage must in time be utterly lost..." . Philip Moore's sonata exploits the drama and full range of the organ. Next comes a taste of baroque elegance in a transcription of Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin, which leads us towards the blended palette of Kerensa Briggs's Light in Darkness.

Introduced by Nicola Heywood Thomas from St David's Hall in Cardiff

Patrick Gowers: Occasional Trumpet Voluntary
Owain Park: Images
Philip Moore: Organ Sonata

Isata Kanneh-Mason plays Beethoven

The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, with pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason, play Beethoven’s Third Concerto, and also journey through fascinating corners of America’s musical landscape.

We hear the serene studied dissonance of Carl Ruggles, via an intense miniature from firebrand Ruth Crawford Seeger, to the wit and energy of little known Julia Perry and ending with a work written by Alvin Singleton in 1993 in memory of his sister. The spirit of Mozart graces Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto - but its drama and passion are all Ludwig’s own. Here the outstanding Isata Kanneh-Mason guides us through its world of light and shade in the second part of the evening.

THU 22:45 The Essay (b06ns10g)
New Generation Thinkers at 10

Politician and Pioneer: Writing the Life of Arthur Kavanagh

The colourful life of Arthur MacMurrough Kavanagh overturns everything we think we know about disabled people’s lives in the 19th century. Born without hands and feet, he was an adventurous traveller and a Member of Parliament, a tiger-hunting landowner whose attempts to resist the rising tide of Irish nationalism were ultimately defeated, and whose amazing career has been largely forgotten. But how did his first biographer meet the challenge of writing his life?

New Generation Thinker Clare Walker Gore of the University of Cambridge discusses the gaps in his published biography and what attitudes they reflect.

The New Generation Thinkers scheme is ten years old in 2020. Jointly run by BBC and the Arts and Humanities Research Council, each year it offers ten academics at the start of their careers a chance to bring fascinating research to a wider public. This week we hear five essays from this last decade of stimulating ideas.

This Essay was recorded in front of an audience at the Free Thinking Festival at Sage Gateshead in 2015.

THU 23:30 Unclassified (m000pq6z)
Elizabeth Alker with music that defies classification, including the latest releases and exclusive previews.

Unclassified is a late night listening party, a place for curious ears to congregate, disconnect from all other devices and get lost in some soothing, serene and strange new sounds. It's a home for composers whose work cannot easily be categorised, artists who are as comfortable in a grimy basement venue as they are in a prestigious concert hall.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b09wvy7r)
Carlo Gesualdo (1566-1613)

The Gesualdo Legacy

Donald Macleod concludes his account of the extraordinary life and music of Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa. By the time Gesualdo publishes his collection of Responsaries for Holy Week, and his final books of madrigals, he is a sick man, beset by various physical and mental infirmities. Nevertheless, he appears to be determined to secure his future reputation as a musician, and to secure the future of the house of Gesualdo. Estranged from his sole surviving heir from his first marriage, he is briefly reconciled with his son Emmanuele, only to be devastated when that son is killed in a hunting accident, leaving no direct male heir. With the effective extinction of the male line, Gesualdo loses hope and turns his face to the wall. His final publications, printed in his very own castle, secure his reputation as an ingenious, if somewhat unhinged, composer of madrigals and motets.

FRI 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (m000p0j0)
Beethoven and York Bowen Horn Sonatas

Cheltenham Music Festival's final recital is given by the award-winning young horn player Ben Goldscheider. He's joined on the platform at St David's Hall in Cardiff by renowned Welsh pianist and composer Huw Watkins. Beethoven wrote his Horn Sonata for a contemporary horn player who liked to be known as Signor Punto. When he was writing it, Beethoven, who took on the piano part himself at the premiere, made sure that each performer was allowed plenty of room to shine. British composer York Bowen, who died in 1961, was a talented pianist as well as being an accomplished horn player. He wrote his Horn Sonata in 1937. Its luxuriant harmonies and lyrical lines make it one of the twentieth century's most appealing works for the instrument.

Introduced by Nicola Heywood Thomas live from St David's Hall in Cardiff

New Generation Thinkers at 10

When Shakespeare Travelled with Me

April 1916. By the Nile, the foremost poets of the Middle East are arguing about Shakespeare. In 2004, Egyptian singer Essam Karika released his urban song Oh Romeo.

Reflecting on his travels and encounters around the Arab world, New Generation Thinker Islam Issa, from Birmingham City University, discusses how canonical English writers (Shakespeare and Milton) creep into the popular culture of the region today. Recorded with an audience at Sage Gateshead as part of BBC Radio 3's Free Thinking Festival in 2018.

Islam's Issa's book, Milton in the Arab-Muslim World, won the Milton Society of America's 'Outstanding First Book' award. His exhibition Stories of Sacrifice won the Muslim News Awards 'Excellence in Community Relations' prize.

New Generation Thinkers is a scheme run by BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council to select ten academics each year who can turn their research into radio. There are now 100 early career academics who have passed through the scheme.

Producer: Fiona McLean.


FRI 23:00 Late Junction (m000pt3x)
Ana Roxanne’s mixtape

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents a mixtape of soothing sounds from Ana Roxanne, a Los Angeles-based artist and musician. Her interest in the healing power of music started from a young age, first with the R&B divas she discovered in her mother's CD collection and later through the sacred music she experienced as a devoted choral singer at her local Catholic church. Her own sound stems from these early encounters, as well as drawing on classical Hindustani singing she learned whilst living in India, and her own experiences identifying as intersex. The mixtape she’s crafted for Late Junction reflects these sonic inspirations, from acapella harmonies and 1940s Bollywood love songs to dub-inflected minimalism and Whitney Houston’s first television appearance.

It’s not all sweetness and light on the programme though. Elsewhere there’s caustic vocal manipulations from Amirtha Kindambi and Lea Bertucci that ‘announce the end of softness’ and some original Detroit techno from Underground Resistance founder Mad Mike Banks. From Detroit we’ll travel to the moonlit hilltop in Slovenia where Lori Goldston recorded her new release of cello improvisations, and to an “eternally recurring” basketball court in the soundtrack to a 1981 experimental Japanese short film.

Produced by Katie Callin.
A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3.
