SAT 11:45 New Generation Artists (m000ycd8)
Elisabeth Brauss, Katharina Konradi, Rob Luft, Timothy Ridout

New Generation Artists: Kate Molleson begins her summer series celebrating the prodigious talents of Radio 3's current New Generation Artists, a dozen supremely talented musicians with burgeoning international careers. Today Elisabeth Brauss plays Tchaikovsky at Snape and Katharina Konradi is heard in a wistful song by Mozart from her debut disc.

Established two decades ago, Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme is internationally acknowledged as the foremost scheme of its kind. It exists to offer a platform for artists at the beginning of their international careers. Each year six musicians join the scheme for two years, during which time they appear at the UK's major music festivals, enjoy dates with the BBC orchestras and have the opportunity to record in the BBC studios. The artists are also encouraged to form artistic partnerships with one another and to explore a wide range of repertoire. In recent years Radio 3's New Generation Artists have appeared at many of the world's major music festivals and concert halls. The BBC New Generation Artists Scheme is not itself a prize, rather it offers a unique two year platform on which artists can develop their prodigious talents. Not surprisingly, the list of alumni reads like a Who’s Who of the most exciting musicians of the past two decades.

Houses Slide

Kate Molleson presents the very latest in new music performance including the world premiere of a new piece commissioned by London Sinfonietta, Laura Bowler's Houses Slide for soprano and ensemble. With a text created by Cordelia Lynn using submissions from members of the public and directed by Katie Mitchell, Houses Slide is an industry-first as the performance recorded earlier this month at London's Royal Festival Hall is powered entirely by bicycles.
Described as music that moves, that rages, and ultimately that unites us, Houses Slide describes one woman's intimate psychological journey to figure out her response to the climate crisis, from an initial depressing realisation of the gravity of the issue, through to her refusal to be overwhelmed and decision to take positive action.

Also on the programme, music commissioned for Crash Ensemble’s Reaction project as part of New Music Dublin 2021, and new releases from Tansy Davies, Carmen Baliero and Yuji Takahashi.

Mixed-ability improvisation with Maggie Nicols

Starting in 1991, The Gathering is an invitation for anyone interested in free improvisation to come along and take part in a 90-minute experience guided by the principle that you use your skills and experience to create group excellence.

Plus, there’s frenetic high energy from American saxophonist and bandleader Jean Toussaint on his 1992 album What Goes Around; and on a new release by Adam Morford and Anne Lanzilotti, a metal sound sculpture that looks like a giant cow-bell with springs and wires attached is joined by analogue tape loops, viola and guitar to create a doom-laden sound world.

There are plenty of glorious tracks to get swept up in today, from the flowing lines of Rachmaninov’s piano writing, to the unique approach of Renaissance composer Carlo Gesualdo, and a finale which doesn’t really sound like one.

Plus, Sarah is transported to the forest in a dance played on the traditional Finnish instrument, the kantele.

At 10.30am Sarah invites novelist and broadcaster Gary Raymond to join her from Cardiff for the Sunday Morning monthly arts round-up, focusing on five cultural happenings around the UK that you can catch during August.

When the Royal Albert Hall was officially opened in 1871, it welcomed its first audience to the sound of the mighty ‘Father’ Willis organ – then powered by two steam engines. In the first of this season’s two organ recitals marking the Hall’s 150th anniversary, Martin Baker performs key organ works by J. S. Bach before taking them as a starting point for his own improvisations. The recital showcases the power and range of an instrument whose 9,999 pipes would stretch nine miles if laid end to end, an organ that has been played by celebrated recitalists and rock legends alike.

There will be no interval.

From the cream of Baroque music for solo stringed instruments come Heinrich Biber’s haunting and mesmeric Passacaglia, a sonata by the great 18th-century violin-composer Giuseppe Tartini, full of subtle emotional colourings, and Bach’s superb D minor Partita, which culminates in another great and powerful chaconne. Rachel Podger adds to these her own recent transcription of the first of Bach’s solo Cello Suites.

SUN 17:00 The Listening Service (m000n6bt)
What makes the organ so mighty?

Tom Service takes on the largest instrument created by human hands: the organ. With the help of organist Anna Lapwood, Tom asks: what makes the organ so mighty? Why has it fascinated musicians from Bach to Procol Harum? Along the way, Tom will delve into the Delphian roots of the organ and we’ll hear what its ancestor the Hydraulis sounded like, created in ancient Egypt. And we’ll drop in on Madison Square Garden where Gladys Gooding entertained huge audiences at sports events for over thirty years, starting in the 1930s. Finally, we’ll hear what makes the organ timeless and immortal in music by John Cage and Olivier Messiaen. All hail: the organ!

New Generation Thinkers: Sloe Time

Lockdown encourages us to keep local, but for many this has been rewarded with a new take on the close-by, the ordinary, in the natural world (even as nature is wreaking havoc) - such as the humble blackthorn.

New Generation Thinker Dr Lisa Mullen is fascinated by the beauty, cruelty and danger inherent in the blackthorn - flowers, spikes and fruit – the sloes whose alien green flesh dries the mouth, but combines with gin to make the perfect winter drink.

Not a ‘charismatic mega – fauna’, like the Giant Redwood, blackthorns dense, strong, dark wood, rippling with veins of toffee, plays an important role in holding our countryside together; dividing fields, feeding us and delighting in being one of the first to blossom in spring.

“A dense thicket, bristling with spines - you realise why blackthorn was used defensively as a dead hedge by the Saxon’s, the true precursor of barbed wire.” Roger Deakin

Blackthorn’s physical characteristics make it a popular baddie - folk lore depicts it as dangerous as well as useful. Robert McFarlane - a passionate advocate for nature – even describes the blackthorn as “the widow maker” - for its easily infected wounds.

Reliving childhood adventures in the Chiltern’s, pretending to be the princess in the thorny bush, Lisa recalls dangerous, warning stabs from the blackthorns cruel spikes. She talks to Samuel Robinson, coppicer and woodsman, who knows the blackthorn better than most. For Lisa he sings a beautiful song about the blackthorn winter, the false spring, his dog’s violent encounter with a deer, and his own confrontation with death.

The Masque of Anarchy

Ian McMillan introduces a commemoration of the Peterloo Massacre to mark the two-hundred year anniversary of the events of 16 August 1819.

Maxine Peake performs Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem of protest The Masque of Anarchy. Shelley was compelled to respond to the massacre in which cavalrymen charged campaigners protesting against the restrictive parliamentary representation of the time in St Peters Field Manchester leaving 15 dead and 700 injured. Recorded only a few miles from where it happened, Maxine Peake”s performance makes the poem - a call for political action - resonate for a contemporary audience.

We also hear eyewitness accounts from Samuel Bamford a radical reformer who led the group from Middleton and his wife Jemima Bamford performed by Jason Done and Christine Bottomley. Contemporary ballads written in the aftermath are sung by Jennifer Read.

The Masque of Anarchy, with a specially composed sound design by Peter Rice, was directed by Sarah Frankcom. The eyewitness accounts were directed by Nadia Molinari.

This commemoration of the Peterloo Massacre was a BBC North Production, produced by Susan Roberts.

Maxim Emelyanychev, conductor

Composed over a period of just two months in the summer of 1788, Mozart’s three final symphonies together form a musical sequence that explores all sides of humanity. No. 39 offers a grand introduction, its fanfares and dances setting the scene, before we’re plunged into the dark drama of the Symphony No. 40, and finally emerge into the sunlight of the ‘Jupiter’ Symphony, with its dazzling fugal finale. The Scottish Chamber Orchestra is conducted by its dynamic Principal Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev.

Deep Blue to Pale Blue

Tie on to the rope of artist and climber Dan Shipsides to go sea cliff climbing at Fairhead on the north Antrim coast of Northern Ireland. For Dan climbing and art feed into one another in unexpected and complimentary ways - both are creative acts - appreciative of aesthetics and beauty.

Also joining us on the climb will be Derry-born dancer Zoe Ramsey. She was introduced to the sport by Dan and was instantly hooked. While their climbing styles might be as different as the art they create both see parallels between what they do in the studio and what they do on the rockface. Moving, balancing and extending for Zoe, drawing a line through a vertical landscape for Dan.

With the jangle of the metal wedges they use to protect their ascent hanging from their climbing harnesses and the 'thwip' of the rope running out we join the pair as they inch their way up the cliff face with the Irish sea roaring far below in a journey from the deep blue of the water to the pale blue of the sky.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (m000ycqx)
Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904)

Friendship with Brahms

Donald Macleod reveals how a fellow composer helped kick-start Dvořák’s career.

In an era overloaded with brooding and overwrought Romantic sensibilities, Antonín Dvořák’s music shone with grace, joy and humanity. Audiences were enchanted and adopted Dvořák as one of the 19th century’s most beloved composers. He was especially in demand in Britain and the USA, and enjoyed successful visits both countries. Dvořák was never happier, though, than at home in his native Bohemia, listening to the birds singing, feeding his pigeons, and indulging in a bit of train spotting, too.

From the mid 1870s, Antonín Dvořák developed a friendship with Johannes Brahms, who was already well established as a composer. From early on, both musicians hit it off and Brahms was soon disposed to help Dvořák in any way he could. Brahms encouraged his own publisher, Fritz Simrock, to take on his younger colleague. The subsequent release of Dvořák’s first set of Slavonic Dances made him a household name. Brahms also introduced Dvořák’s work to the conductor Hans Richter, and to violin virtuoso Joseph Joachim. Richter would go on to conduct Dvořák’s music in concerts around Europe, and Joachim was responsible for encouraging Dvořák to compose his famous Violin Concerto.

Proms at Cadogan Hall 1

Live at the BBC Proms: clarinettist Michael Collins, cellist Adrian Brendel and pianist Michael McHale play clarinet trios by Brahms and Zemlinsky.

First broadcast on Monday from Cadogan Hall, London.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

Alexander von Zemlinsky: Clarinet Trio in D minor, Op. 3
Johannes Brahms: Clarinet Trio in A minor, Op. 114

Michael Collins (clarinet)
Adrian Brendel (cello)
Michael McHale (piano)

Celebrated British clarinettist Michael Collins is joined by cellist Adrian Brendel and pianist Michael McHale to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Austrian composer Alexander von Zemlinsky. Charged with fin-de-siècle intensity and taut musical drama, the young Zemlinsky’s Clarinet Trio was much influenced by Brahms, at whose recommendation it was published. A contemporary said of Brahms’s own Trio in A minor that ‘it is as though the instruments are in love with each other’. With its graceful waltz of an intermezzo and dashing finale with hints of Gypsy swagger, it’s a musical love affair played out in glorious technicolour.

Guy Johnston (cello)
BBC National Orchestra of Wales
Ryan Bancroft (conductor)

Musical borrowings, reworkings and reinventions run through this season’s Proms. The invisible thread linking tonight’s concert really begins with Bach. A lilting chaconne from his Cantata No. 150 underpins the finale of Brahms’s Symphony No. 4, and the latter’s elegant synthesis of heart and head is itself the inspiration for American composer Elizabeth Ogonek’s Cloudline, a lyrical homage to ancient musical forms and techniques. The chaconne’s repeating patterns are echoed elsewhere in the circling bass line of Purcell’s powerful Lament from Dido and Aeneas. Cellist Guy Johnston is the soloist in anniversary-composer Saint-Saëns’s Cello Concerto No 1.

Literary Pursuits - Golding's Lord of the Flies

'Lord Of The Flies' was written when William Golding was a teacher at Bishop Wordsworth School, in a school exercise book in his spare time between and sometimes during lessons. Having already had three earlier books turned down for publication, this story was inspired by what he knew at first hand about how boys really behaved. The manuscript was only narrowly saved from rejection by rookie Editor Charles Monteith at Faber and Faber. After asking for substantial editorial changes, including cutting a whole section at the start of the novel, and altering the title, the tale of stranded boys descending into savagery on a desert island went on to become a classic. Sarah Dillon goes in search of the story of determined perseverance, compromise and incredible luck behind the publication of novel. All published extracts with permission of Faber and Faber Ltd, all published and unpublished extracts with permission of William Golding Ltd.


MON 22:45 The Essay (m000ck1f)
Open Endings

Ian Rankin on Lord of the Flies

Five leading writers pick a novel they love and then write an original piece of fiction imagining what happened to the characters after the story ends.

In the first essay of the series, the crime writer Ian Rankin picks William Golding's Lord of the Flies. Like many students, Ian first encountered the novel at school but certain scenes and moments have stayed with him for the past 40 years. In this essay, Ian explores his relationship with the work as a teenager of the 1970s and imagines what might have happened to two of the shipwrecked boys, Ralph and Jack, once they reach adulthood.

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (m000yf0s)
Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904)

Visits to England

Donald Macleod reveals how Dvořák’s popularity with the British public led to many significant commissions.

In an era overloaded with brooding and overwrought Romantic sensibilities, Antonín Dvořák’s music shone with grace, joy and humanity. Audiences were enchanted and adopted Dvořák as one of the 19th century’s most beloved composers. He was especially in demand in Britain and the USA, and enjoyed successful visits both countries. Dvořák was never happier, though, than at home in his native Bohemia, listening to the birds singing, feeding his pigeons, and indulging in a bit of train spotting, too.

Dvořák’s Sixth Symphony had made him famous in London, even before his first visit there. When he finally made the trip, he had never journeyed so far or, indeed, even seen the sea before. Many more visits to England would follow. His British fans showered him with praise and endless social invitations. He was asked to conduct his Stabat Mater at the Three Choirs Festival in Worcester and the Philharmonic Society commissioned him to write his Seventh Symphony. Dvořák was so popular that his image even appeared on Wills’s cigarette cards.

BBC New Generation Artist Elisabeth Brauss joins them for Mozart's intimate Piano Concerto No 23 (K 488) with its sunny outer movements enclosing a heartbreaking, melancholy adagio. Their concert ends with Beethoven's Fourth Symphony, a work that immediately opens a new chapter in symphonic writing with its dark, searching introduction giving way to an effervescent volcano of energy. Ben Gernon conducts.


TUE 22:00 Sunday Feature (m000gl43)
Literary Pursuits

Truman Capote: In Cold Blood

In November 1959 Truman Capote read a newspaper headline: Wealthy Farmer, 3 of Family Slain.

It was a murder in Kansas. The sheriff was quoted as saying it might be the work of a psychopath. And Capote set off to Kansas, believing this was exactly the story he'd been waiting for. Travelling with him was his friend, Harper Lee, soon to win a Pulitzer prize for To Kill a Mockingbird. Together they began conducting rigorous interviews on the impact of this murder. Initially Capote planned an article for the New Yorker magazine, but when the two murderers were caught, Capote realised he had something much bigger on his hands - the non-fiction novel, the very first one he declared, and the book that led to an explosion in true crime.

Tracing his journey is Corin Throsby. She picks her way through Capote's sometimes exaggerated claims to discover a story that remains relevant to this day. Written largely in Verbier in Switzerland, the book came to obsess Capote - he was close to the murderers, friendly, perhaps more. But for his book to succeed, they needed to die. Corin Throsby teaches at the University of Cambridge and is a former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Thinker.

Contributors include Thomas Fahy, author of Understanding Capote; Brenda Currin who played the murdered Nancy Clutter in the 1967 film of the book; Ed Pilkington of the Guardian; James Linville, formerly of the Paris Review; actor Toby Jones; Ralph Voss, author of the Legacy of In Cold Blood; plus Ebs Burnough and Lawrence Elman who made the 2019 documentary The Capote Tapes.

The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde.


TUE 22:45 The Essay (m000cm9s)
Open Endings

Bernardine Evaristo on Mrs Dalloway

Five leading writers pick a novel they love and then write an original piece of fiction imagining what happened to the characters after the story ends.

Man Booker Prize winner Bernardine Evaristo first encountered Virginia Woolf's writing as a teenager, reading To the Lighthouse for her English Literature A Level. She loathed the book.

But a few years ago, she gave Woolf another go, reading Mrs Dalloway. As a writer who experiments with language and form, she marvelled at the inventiveness, how Woolf's characters float in and out of the prose.

In this Christmas Eve edition of Open Endings, Bernardine reveals her admiration for Woolf's work and imagines a different end for Clarissa Dalloway's extravagant party.

Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904)

Rising Stardom

Donald Macleod sees Dvořák enjoying the rewards of his success.

In an era overloaded with brooding and overwrought Romantic sensibilities, Antonín Dvořák’s music shone with grace, joy and humanity. Audiences were enchanted and adopted Dvořák as one of the 19th century’s most beloved composers. He was especially in demand in Britain and the USA, and enjoyed successful visits both countries. Dvořák was never happier, though, than at home in his native Bohemia, listening to the birds singing, feeding his pigeons, and indulging in a bit of train spotting, too.

By the late 1880s, Dvořák was firmly established as a composer and his popularity was rising in his homeland and abroad. He set to writing a large-scale piano quintet, following in the footsteps of Schumann and Brahms, and resulting in one of the finest examples of the form. He also turned to opera and produced another symphony, his Eighth. Dvořák was invited to become a teacher at the Prague Conservatoire, which he eventually agreed to do. His students found his teaching methods unconventional, but idolised him all the same.

Robinson Crusoe Road Trip

It's exactly 300 years since Daniel Defoe published Robinson Crusoe on April 25th 1719. Never out of print, the novel's themes and images go deep into our culture, from Karl Marx and James Joyce to Desert Island Discs and Love Island. Emma Smith sets off on a road-trip to trace its popularity across the centuries but also to ask whether Defoe's defence of slavery makes it too unpalatable a read today. Might this be the end of the road for Robinson Crusoe?

She's delighted to discovers a fabulous read, the intriguing suggestion of a more radical novel-that-might-have-been, and huge potential for a rewrite.

Emma traces the story across seven versions and their readers, from the first edition in the British Library to a children's spin-off. She talks to scholars Alan Downie, Nicholas Seager and Judith Buchanan, and novelists Jane Gardam and Jasmine Richards.

She visits the London haunts of Charles Gildon the envious hack who wrote a vitriolic satire; to Cherryburn in Northumberland, where the young Thomas Bewick ran naked across the fell in imitation of the "savages"; and to Kent to meet Jane Gardam, author of Crusoe's Daughter.

But it is at the Crusoe Collection at Reading University that Emma has her greatest insight. In the company of scholar Rebecca Bullard and writer Jasmine Richards, who is also the founder of a Storymix, which develops inclusive stories for children, she hears what a future Crusoe might be like, but is also won over by a counter-factual argument that Defoe might have expedited the abolition of slavery if only he had created a different relationship between Crusoe and Friday.

AL Kennedy on The Wind in the Willows

Five leading writers pick a novel they love and then write an original piece of fiction imagining what happened to the characters after the story ends.

For the six-year-old AL Kennedy, Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows provided firelight calm and comfort. She still has her childhood copy, bound up in green cloth with gold lettering, the only hardback she possessed at that age. This Christmas Day, she imagines what might have happened to Mole, Rat and Badger years after the Battle of Toad Hall.

Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904)

The American Years

Donald Macleod follows Dvořák’s time in America and discovers the iconic works he made there.

In an era overloaded with brooding and overwrought Romantic sensibilities, Antonín Dvořák’s music shone with grace, joy and humanity. Audiences were enchanted and adopted Dvořák as one of the 19th century’s most beloved composers. He was especially in demand in Britain and the USA, and enjoyed successful visits both countries. Dvořák was never happier, though, than at home in his native Bohemia, listening to the birds singing, feeding his pigeons, and indulging in a bit of train spotting, too.

It was a sign of Dvořák’s global reputation that he was invited across the Atlantic to take on the Directorship of the National Conservatory of Music in New York. Dvořák wasn’t keen to leave his homeland behind but he eventually agreed, and arrived in the United States in 1892. During his stay, Dvorak was inspired by the sounds of birds, fascinated by Native American music, and thrilled by America’s vast railway system. This also period saw him write some of his most iconic works including his Ninth Symphony, the String Quartet No 12 and his Cello Concerto.

Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 3 in F major

City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra
Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla (conductor)

The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla champion the music of a too-long neglected composer. A pupil of Vaughan Williams, Ruth Gipps started her career as an oboist with what was then the City of Birmingham Orchestra in 1944, before becoming established as a composer. Her Symphony No. 2 takes a wide-screen, cinematic view of the Second World War, embracing exhilaration, anxiety and, finally, ecstatic rejoicing. Conflict of a very different kind runs through The Exterminating Angel Symphony by Thomas Adès (50 this year), inspired by Louis Buñuel’s Surrealist film.

Brahms’s Third Symphony strikes a more autumnal tone, inspired by a visit to the River Rhine in 1883. The critic Eduard Hanslick pronounced it ‘artistically the most nearly perfect’ of the composer’s symphonies to date.


THU 22:00 Sunday Feature (m0000h9m)
John Ashbery - Portrait in a Convex Mirror

John Ashbery is one of the towering figures in American poetry of the last 50 years. Up until his death in September 2017 at the age of 90, he produced a vast and hugely acclaimed body of poetry and prose, often characterised as a surrealist river of ideas and playfulness: the reader tossed around, seldom entirely sure what's going on, yet swept along by the sheer exuberance and mischievous glint of Ashbery’s writing.

The life story is compelling: from an isolated farm in upstate New York, and a childhood family tragedy, a gifted young writer went to Harvard, and found himself in a class of soon-to-be-successful literary talents. There were years in Paris, and then home to the buzzing experimentalism of Warhol’s New York.

In a writing career whose trajectory took him from enfant terrible to national treasure, Ashbery achieved a dazzling string of literary successes including a 1976 Pulitzer; and at a point where alcohol-fuelled self-destruction was ominously close, Ashbery met David Kermani, the man who would become his partner for nearly fifty years.
Together they eloped upstream from Manhattan, and bought a house at Hudson, on the banks of the river. It would become a magical space: gallery, museum, studio, and home. From it, the couple would build on Ashbery’s achievements of the 50s, 60s, and 70s by providing a stable and happy place from which to continue writing, but also to provide lavish and warm welcomes for a constant stream of guests.

Standing squarely in a long and distinguished tradition of American poetics, and making a vivid and distinctive contribution to it, Ashbery was strongly influenced by John Cage, Abstract Expressionism, Warhol’s progressive modernism, surrealism, the daily clashing of high and low culture, and the sheer joy of being alive. His audacious mastery of the English language dances on the page; and one of his greatest qualities, perhaps, was an irrepressible playfulness.

Drawing on the testimony of many who knew him, including Ann Lauterbach, Karin Roffman, Robert Polito, John Yau, and Mark Ford, Colm Toibin draws on his own memories of Ashbery to present an intimate portrait of the brilliant, unpredictable, mischievous, Pulitzer-winning American poet.

Elif Shafak on Anna Karenina

Five leading writers pick a novel they love and then write an original piece of fiction imagining what happened to the characters after the story ends.

Award-winning British-Turkish novelist Elif Shafak first glimpsed Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina on a bookshelf at school. It was only years later that she managed to get her hands on a copy. The experience stirred her soul. The romance was raw, wrong and real. But the book's ending came as a surprise.

For this Boxing Day edition, Elif imagines what would happen if Anna were able to meet her creator, Tolstoy himself, after the novel's final page.

Changing Directions

Donald Macleod sees Dvořák return to his homeland and undertake some new creative challenges.

In an era overloaded with brooding and overwrought Romantic sensibilities, Antonín Dvořák’s music shone with grace, joy and humanity. Audiences were enchanted and adopted Dvořák as one of the 19th century’s most beloved composers. He was especially in demand in Britain and the USA, and enjoyed successful visits both countries. Dvořák was never happier, though, than at home in his native Bohemia, listening to the birds singing, feeding his pigeons, and indulging in a bit of train spotting, too.

After a successful period living and working in the USA, Dvořák returned home to Bohemia and began looking for new creative outlets. He stepped away from writing symphonies, at this point, and turned instead to symphonic poems – orchestral works inspired by stories. What followed was a series of pieces with titles such as The Water Goblin, The Noon Witch, The Golden Spinning Wheel and The Wild Dove. Dvořák also returned to writing opera including his finest offering for the stage, Rusalka. Many honours now came to Dvořák. He was made a member of Vienna’s Society of the Friends of Music and also elected to be a member of the Austrian Hose of Lords.

Can a composer reuse the past and at the same time move in a forward direction? It’s the question that goes to the heart of Igor Stravinsky’s music - works that often take their inspiration from historical models but remain defiantly, distinctively modern. Conductor Martyn Brabbins joins the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra to mark the 50th anniversary of Stravinsky’s death with a concert pairing the composer’s ballet Pulcinella – a witty, charming take on Baroque dance and commedia dell’arte – with the heart-rending Stabat mater by Pergolesi, whose music inspired it.


FRI 22:00 Sunday Feature (m000h020)
Wordsworth - Poet of the People

On the 250th anniversary of Wordsworth's birth Jenny Uglow presented a programme looking at the poet's response to the Industrial Revolution and contrasting his view with that of Adam Smith, the great Enlightenment moral philosopher and 'father of modern economics'.

Here's another chance to hear that programme.

Jenny visits the Lake District and finds that far from hills and dales empty except for sheep, the countryside that Wordsworth knew was rapidly industrialising with mills and canals, quarries and ironworks. But while Wordsworth lamented the end of small-farm self sufficiency, an end to what he saw as the dignity of work on the land as factories took hold, Adam Smith saw the potential of industrialisation. We visit his homes in Kirkcaldy and Edinburgh to hear about his hopes of offering prosperity and 'betterment' to every level of society as the new economic order evolved.

The two men's world views - of what constitutes a good society, of how to take care of the poor, the place of morality in commerce - actually inform debates that are relevant now. And counterintuitively these views were not as polarised as they first might seem.

The backdrop is Wordsworth's Grasmere, where Dove Cottage and the attached museum and archive are enjoying a major upgrade, and Panmure House in Edinburgh - Adam Smith's final home - which has been restored as a centre to honour his legacy.

FRI 23:00 Late Junction (m000q23g)
Sam Shalabi and Angel Bat Dawid in session

Verity Sharp presents this month's Late Junction collaboration session, where we pair together two artists who have never met before and invite them to collaborate remotely. Sam Shalabi is an Egyptian-Canadian oud player and improviser living between Montreal and Cairo. His work incorporates traditional Arabic forms alongside noise, free improvisation and jazz and spans several different groups: Shalabi Effect; Land of Kush and The Dwarves of East Agouza to name a few. Here he brings his open-eared approach to a collaboration with fellow traveller and ‘spiritual jazz soothsayer’ Angel Bat Dawid.

Angel Bat Dawid is a shape shifting multi-instrumentalist and composer. She is primarily a clarinettist but also works with vocals, piano and percussion and improvises with an assortment of different musicians across the Chicago jazz scene. Her work is rooted in a spiritual vision of what music can achieve.

Plus binaural recordings of water on polyester, metal and skin courtesy of Barcelona-based sound artist Daphne X, sparkly disjointed pop from Finland’s Jonna Karanka aka Kuupuu, and ‘pastoral metal’ in the form of the latest offering from cellist Oliver Coates.

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