SAT 11:45 New Generation Artists (m00194y4)
Summer Showcase (1/8)

New Generation Artists Summer Showcase: Kate Molleson begins an eight-part series celebrating the talents of the current members of Radio 3's prestigious young artist programme. In this first programme, William Thomas sings Brahms's late masterpieces in a performance recorded recently at Wigmore Hall and the Mithras plays Amy Beach's ravishing Piano trio and Alexander Gadjiev plays Prokofiev in performances from his new album of piano miniatures.

Prokofiev: nos. 1, 2 and 5 from Five Sarcasms, Op. 17 (1912-14)
Alexander Gadjiev (piano)

William Thomas (bass), Joseph Middleton (piano)

Amy Beach: Piano Trio, Op 150
Mithras Trio

Established over 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, not least the work of contemporary and women composers. In recent years Radio 3's New Generation Artists have appeared at many of the UK's music festivals and concert halls. The BBC New Generation Artists scheme is not itself a prize, rather it offers a unique 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.

SAT 13:00 Inside Music (m00194y8)
Harpsichordist and Conductor Laurence Cummings with music that defies expectations

Harpsichordist and conductor Laurence Cummings records his edition of Inside Music from beneath the stage at Garsington Opera, while the set for that evening’s performance is being assembled above him.

Laurence’s selection of music includes pieces with repetitive yet entrancing bass lines, a scherzo which doesn’t quite do what you think it will, and a forgotten arrangement unearthed in the British Library.

There’s also a piece for organ which has so many notes that it requires the player to press one with their nose, and an attempt to persuade a boatman to let you cross the river to the underworld using various musical styles…

Prom 2: John Wilson conducts the Sinfonia of London

Live at the BBC Proms: John Wilson conducts the Sinfonia of London in music by Vaughan Williams, Walton and Elgar. They are joined by flautist Adam Walker for Huw Watkins's Flute Concerto.

Presented by Andrew McGregor, live at the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
Huw Watkins: Flute Concerto
Bax: Tintagel

c.19.30:
Interval: Andrew McGregor is joined by Professor Fiona Stafford to reflect on how poets have constructed, expressed and represented what it means to be English, from the Tudor contemporaries of Thomas Tallis, via the Romantics, to the 20th century.

c.19:50:
Walton: Partita for Orchestra
Elgar: ‘Enigma’ Variations

Adam Walker, flute
Sinfonia of London
John Wilson, conductor

British conductor John Wilson has long been a Proms favourite, but last year’s debut appearance of his new super-orchestra the Sinfonia of London caused a sensation. ‘Astonishing,’ wrote The Times. For The Spectator, this was ‘an orchestra so thrillingly alive with the sheer glory of it all that hearing them play felt like being a teenager in love’. Now Wilson and the Sinfonia are back, in an all-British programme that pairs much-loved classics by Elgar and Vaughan-Williams with Walton’s kaleidoscopic Partita, Bax’s stirring musical seascape and Huw Watkins’s spirited Flute Concerto, played by its dedicatee Adam Walker.

SUNDAY 17 JULY 2022

SUN 00:00 Freeness (m00194yq)
Whispers and Eulogies

Corey Mwamba presents new music that haunts and remembers, from ancestral whispers to musical eulogies.

During the tumultuous summer of 2020, the New York-based vocalist Amirtha Kidambi and bassist Luke Stewart came together for a seance-like dialogue. Kidambi’s soothsayer vocal improvisations join in communion with loop pedals, feedback and Stewart’s reverberant bass: the result is a haunting exchange that soothes intergenerational trauma with a hopeful eye on tomorrow.

The Blue Notes were a seminal South African band that formed in 1962 - a multi-racial outfit that moved to Europe to escape the dangers of apartheid. In 1975, one of the band members, trumpeter Mongezi Feza, died at the age of 30 from pneumonia. We hear a tribute to Feza, recorded in London nine days after his memorial: a free and ferocious testament to his life and the group's artistic bond.

Elsewhere in the programme, saxophonist Tom Challenger creates a quietly blistering world of strings that slip and slide, accompanied by John Edwards, Benedict Taylor and Kit Downes.

SUN 09:00 Sunday Morning (m00194xf)
Sarah Walker with a far-reaching musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Today, Sarah explores contrasting and defining rhythms, from the orchestral declamations in the first movement of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, to the stomping beat of a sea shanty, and the jazz-flecked, shifting tempos of Steve Reich.

She also discovers a recording of a Chopin song sung and played on the piano by Chelsea Guo, and Charlie Chaplin’s skill for writing melodies comes through in a distinctive arrangement of his track ‘Smile’ for double bass and piano.

Plus, Francois Devienne’s lively Flute Concerto in E minor spins like a summer breeze…

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (m00194xh)
Christopher de Bellaigue

The international journalist and author Christopher de Bellaigue shares his passion for the music that reflects the decades he has spent as a journalist immersed in the politics and daily life of Turkey, the Middle East and South Asia. He has written five award-winning books on these regions, and numerous articles for The Economist, The Guardian and The London Review of Books on subjects as varied as technology, mental health and the environment.

He chooses a setting of the poetry of the great Sufi mystic Rumi; music from Philip Glass’s opera about Gandhi; and a Venetian madrigal that relates to his new book, about the Ottoman Emperor Suleyman the Magnificent, the most powerful man in the world in the 16th century. As emperor it was routine practice to murder all your male relatives, and anyone else who even slightly displeased you, but Christopher explains that Suleyman was also a law maker and, after a colourful early love life, eventually settled down with one woman for the rest of his life.

Christopher tells Michael about the joy he has found becoming part of his wife’s family in Tehran and about the way Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto helped him to engage with his grief and start to come to terms with his mother’s depression, thirty years after her death.

SUN 17:00 The Listening Service (m000hmq7)
English Music

Does English music have a formula? Think of the stirring 'nobilmente' tunes of Elgar and those melodies and harmonies of Vaughan Williams and Holst which have become inextricably linked with the very notion of Englishness. When did English music begin and is it still being written? In an attempt both to define English music and explain its appeal Tom Service enlists the help of Em Marshall-Luck, founder-director of The English Music Festival.


SUN 17:30 Words and Music (m00147jp)

SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature (m00194xm)
Classical Commonwealth, Part 2

Errollyn Wallen unravels more stories of how classical music fused with local musical traditions across the British Commonwealth, speaking to acclaimed South African double-bassist Leon Bosch, Canadian indigenous composers Cris Derksen and T. Patrick Carrabre, and the Jamaican musical polymath Peter Ashbourne, who works across the genres of classical, jazz and reggae.

Errollyn explores the remarkable hybrid musical identities at play in the nations of South Africa and Jamaica - and tells the fascinating and complex story of how the music of Canada's indigenous communities has been celebrated by a new generation of composers and performers seeking to capture their cultural "in-between"-ness in sound.

Errollyn is also joined by the music historians Stephen Banfield and Wayne Weaver, as well as the Thai-American cellist and researcher Jon Silpayamanant, to explore challenging questions around our reception (and sometimes neglect) of this music in a postcolonial era. In celebrating and championing this repertoire - how much do we also need to confront ideas of musical colonialism? What does this all tell us about how musical culture was disseminated - and sometimes imposed - across the British Empire? And what should we make of it today?

BBC Concert Orchestra
Edwin Outwater (conductor)

Cynthia Erivo is a creative phenomenon: a London-born, Tony, Grammy and Emmy award-winning actress, singer, songwriter and producer, whose career has taken her from her childhood in South London to the West End and Broadway, and whose recordings have also thrilled audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. Tonight, backed by the BBC Concert Orchestra she salutes the legendary female voices that have shown her the way: artists such as Nina Simone, Shirley Bassey, Billie Holiday and Gladys Knight. ‘I wanted to pay homage to them,’ she says. ‘Women who have influenced my sound, the music I’ve listened to, and the way I tell my story.’

David Owen Norris's Elgar

Hannah French offers listeners a chance to hear at greater length the recordings reviewed and discussed in yesterday’s Record Review, as well as music from pianist David Owen Norris's pick of Elgar recordings.


SUN 23:00 World of Classical (m00194xt)
Courtly Dances, Imperial Advances

How much richer would our listening experience be if we could join the dots between classical music traditions around the world?

Thai-American cellist, composer and transcultural researcher Jon Silpayamanant continues to trace shifting global trends across different musical cultures.

In this second programme of the series, we listen to the impact of patronage, empire and colonialism in the early modern period. How did political power blocs shape the way classical musics were created and performed? Silpayamanant explores court music from Italy, Thailand and Japan as well as a suite written by the Khan of Crimea, before reflecting on the role of enslaved peoples in the emergence of Baroque music in Latin America.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (m0019517)
Maurice Ravel (1875-1937)

A Dandy in a Hurry

Donald Macleod explores Ravel’s meteoric rise to fame and early chamber music, including a long-lost violin sonata and a unique arrangement for four ondes Martenot.

The music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is much loved for its remarkable orchestral colours and brilliant virtuosity, heard vividly in works like Bolero, Daphnis and Chloe and Gaspard de la Nuit. But his chamber music, intimate, crystalline, and beautiful, is often overlooked. This week Donald Macleod puts that right, as he introduces every one of Ravel’s works for small instrumental ensemble; an array of work that spans the composer’s colourful life and career.

He begins in turn of the century Paris - as the young, unfulfilled dandy turns a corner: and quickly becomes the hottest property in French music. We hear a wistful, early violin sonata lost for several decades - as well as a remarkable later arrangement of the composer’s String Quartet to which the composer gave his blessing: for not one, but FOUR ondes Martenot!

Proms in Belfast

Live at the BBC Proms: Hebrides Ensemble plays music from three generations of French composers, Ravel, Messiaen and his pupil Xenakis.

Presented by Linton Stephens, live from the Waterfront Hall Studio, Belfast.

Xenakis: Allegro molto; Akea
Messiaen: Pièce pour piano et quatuor à cordes
Xenakis: Ittidra
Ravel: Pavane pour une infante défunte
Xenakis: À r. (Hommage à Ravel)
Messiaen: Louange a l’Immortalité de Jésus (Quartet for the End of Time)

Hebrides Ensemble

Three generations of French composers, and a century-long revolution in the way that we hear the world. ‘The listener must be gripped and – whether or not they like it – drawn into the flight path of the sounds, without special training being necessary,’ said Iannis Xenakis. And from the exquisitely realised miniature worlds of Maurice Ravel, to the sacred ecstasies of Olivier Messiaen and the bold, sonic architecture of his pupil Iannis Xenakis (who would have been 100 this year), these are sounds to ravish the ear and set the synapses sparking. The Hebrides Ensemble is a virtuoso chamber ensemble created specially to play music like this – up close and personal in Belfast’s Waterfront Hall Studio.

BBC Philharmonic
Lawrence Power (viola)
Juanjo Mena (conductor)

'They want me to write differently', said Anton Bruckner. 'Certainly I could, but I must not.' And from its quiet opening pulse to its towering finish, it's hard to imagine his mighty Sixth Symphony unfolding any other way: one man's utterly individual voyage towards heaven, expressed in music of quiet wonder and mountainous grandeur. Tonight its the climax of an evening that begins with Webern's jewel-like setting of Bruckner's great hero Bach, and continues with James MacMillan's Viola Concerto, with soloist and dedicatee, Lawrence Power.


MON 22:00 Free Thinking (m0013js4)
Touki Bouki

A motorbike adorned with a zebu skull is one of the central images of Djibril Diop Mambéty's classic 1973 film, whose title translates as The Journey of the Hyena. Listed as one of the 100 greatest films of all time in the Sight and Sound magazine poll, it mixes West African oral traditions with influences from the French New Wave and Soviet cinema. Mory and Anta are two young people growing up in a newly independent Senegal who fantasise about leaving Dakar for a new life in France, but how can they realise those dreams and do they really want to leave? Matthew Sweet is joined by New Generation Thinker Sarah Jilani, Estrella Sendra Fernandez and Ashley Clark. Touki Bouki is being screened at the BFI London on July 27th as part of the Black Fantastic season of films drawing on science fiction, myth and Afrofuturism. The curator of that season Ekow Eshun joined Shahidha Bari in a recent Free Thinking episode which you can find on BBC Sounds and as the Arts and Ideas podcast.

Sarah Jilani is a lecturer in English at City, University of London and has written on neocolonialism in Francophone West African cinema.

Estrella Sendra Fernandez lectures in film and screen studies at SOAS, University of London. She directed the award-winning documentary film Témoignages de l’autre côté about migration in Senegal.

Ashley Clark is curatorial director at the Criterion Collection. He is the author of the book Facing Blackness: Media and Minstrelsy in Spike Lee’s “Bamboozled”

Producer: Torquil MacLeod

In the Free Thinking archives you can find a series of programmes exploring silent film, star actors including Jean-Paul Belmondo, Marlene Dietrich, Dirk Bogarde, and classics of cinema around the world including Kurosawa's Rashomon, Satyajit Ray's films, the films of Jacques Tati and Charlie Chaplin.


MON 22:45 The Essay (m000fzfb)
Women Writers to Put Back on the Bookshelf

Charlotte Turner Smith

New Generation Thinker Sophie Coulombeau argues that we should salute this woman who supported her family through her writing, who perfected sonnets about solitude before Wordsworth began writing his, and who explored the struggles of women and refugees in her fiction. Mother to 12 children, Charlotte Turner Smith wrote ten novels, three poetry collections and four children's books and translated French fiction. In 1788 her first novel, Emmeline, sold 1500 copies within months but by the time of her death in 1803 her popularity had declined and she had become destitute.

New Generation Thinkers is a scheme run by BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council to work with academics to turn their research into radio.

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001951y)
Maurice Ravel (1875-1937)

Hotshot vs the Establishment

Donald Macleod tells the story of Ravel’s scandalous failure to win France’s most famous composition prize and his friendship with fellow star of French music Claude Debussy.

The music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is much loved for its remarkable orchestral colours and brilliant virtuosity. But his chamber music - intimate, crystalline, and beautiful - is often overlooked. This week, Donald Macleod introduces every one of Ravel’s works for small instrumental ensemble; an array of work that spans the composer’s colourful life and career.

By the first years of the 20th century, Ravel was the hottest property in French music. Surely it was just a matter of time before he won the most famous composition prize in France, the Prix de Rome? Alas not… and his repeated failures caused a national scandal, with fingers pointed at the very heart of the French establishment. Donald Macleod investigates, with music that includes Ravel’s much-loved String Quartet.

LSO St Luke's Artist Focus: Nicholas Daniel

Hannah French presents the first of four Lunchtime Concerts recorded in May at LSO St Luke's, each shining a spotlight on world class wind and brass players. Today, the focus is on internationally renowned oboist Nicholas Daniel, with pianist Huw Watkins, whose concert takes us on a tour of the UK.

They begin their concert in the north of England with Alan Bush's Northumbrian Impressions, inspired by a chance encounter with the Duke of Northumberland's personal piper. Following that, we move to Ireland with Howard Ferguson's arrangement of Schumann's Three Canonic Studies, beautifully expressive works originally written for the pedal piano but work perfectly in this arrangement. Then we move across the Borders with Scottish composer - and oboist - Helen Grime, who wrote her Three Minatures to show off the instrument's huge variety of expression. Pianist and composer Huw Watkins wrote his version of some of his favourites from the wonderful repertoire of Welsh folksongs specifically for Nicholas Daniel, and together they play the premiere, before ending their recital with one of the most loved oboe sonatas in the repertory: Poulenc. It was dedicated to Prokofiev but actually became his own swansong written just six months before his own death.

Prom 6: Vaughan Williams and Tippett - Full Fourths

Live at the BBC Proms
Presented by Tom McKinney live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Ralph Vaughan Williams: Symphony No.4 in F minor (30')

Interval:
During the interval, Tom McKinney talks to composer William Mival about the significance of the two symphonies in tonight’s Prom.

Michael Tippett: Symphony No.4 (33')

British music: it isn't always what you think. Written as Europe lurched towards the war, Vaughan Williams's volcanic Fourth Symphony is a might cry of protest and rage, expressed in music that burns itself into the soul. A generation later in the Cold War, Michael Tippett began his final symphony with the most primal of sounds - a human breath. This isn't so much a symphony as a whole life, in all its rapture, its chaos and its teeming, tumultuous beauty.

Filming Sunday Bloody Sunday

Glenda Jackson is the subject of a BFI season and in this film she plays part of a love triangle in John Schlesinger's follow up to his Oscar winning Midnight Cowboy. The plot written by Penelope Gilliat centres on an artist who has relationships with a female job consultant and a male doctor. Was the 1971 film ahead of its times? Matthew Sweet re-watches it with guests including Glenda Jackson, playwright Mark Ravenhill, film historian Melanie Williams and BFI National Archive curator Simon McCallum. They discuss the different elements of the film, including the score, which features the trio Soave sia il vento from Mozart's opera Così fan tutte, the very precise decor and evocation of late 60s London and filming inside a Jewish synagogue. The Glenda Jackson season runs at the BFI across July with a screening of this film on July 24th.

Author of the first prose romance published in England in 1621, her reputation at court was ruined by her thinly veiled autobiographical writing. Visit the family home, Penshurst Place in Kent, and you can see Lady Mary Wroth's portrait, but New Generation Thinker Nandini Das says you can also find her in the pages of her book The Countess of Montgomery's Urania which places centre stage women who "love and are not afraid to love."

Maurice Ravel (1875-1937)

A Classicist at War

Donald Macleod explores Ravel’s early war years and eagerness to serve his country, weaving the story around the movements of his much-loved Piano Trio.

The music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is much loved for its remarkable orchestral colours and brilliant virtuosity. But his chamber music - intimate, crystalline, and beautiful - is often overlooked. This week, Donald Macleod introduces every one of Ravel’s works for small instrumental ensemble - an array of work that spans the composer’s colourful life and career.

When war broke out in 1914, Ravel was keen to do his bit and eagerly awaited his call-up for military service. But a series of delays thwarted his ambitions; it was more than a year before he was finally sent to the front at Verdun to drive a tank. Donald Macleod takes us through the composer’s poignant experiences of World War I, weaving the story around the movements of the composer’s Piano Trio.

LSO St Luke's Artist Focus: Annelien Van Wauwe

Hannah French continues her week of Lunchtime Concerts from LSO St Luke's, shining the spotlight on international wind and brass players. Today, the light shines on international soloist the Belgian clarinettist Annelien Van Wauwe, who is joined by cellist Louis Rodde and pianist Paloma Kouider to play clarinet trios by Beethoven and Brahms.

Both trios we'll hear today were written for a specific clarinettist. They begin with Beethoven, writing his for Joseph Bair, who suggested the idea of a variation finale based on one of the hugely popular street tunes of Vienna, hence it became known as the 'Gassenhauer', or street song.

Like Beethoven, Brahms wrote his lushly lyrical trio for a particular performer, and in Brahms's case it was Richard Muhlfeld. One of Brahms's friends wrote that it was as if 'the instruments were in love with each other.'

Dalia Stasevska (conductor)

A piano sounds quietly in the silence; an old song, long buried, heaves itself upwards to echo and resound anew. At first, Jóhann Jóhannsson’s atmospheric reworkings of Durham miners’ songs might not sound as if they have much to do with Rachmaninov’s popular Piano Concerto No.2. But in the hands of BBC Symphony Orchestra Principal Guest Conductor Dalia Stasevska and pianist Denis Kozhukhin, they become part of a deeper, darker picture: an unfolding soundscape that embraces both the soaring romantic tragedy of Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet and the elemental sonorities of Icelandic composer Hildur Guðnadóttir – the extraordinary, Academy Award-winning musical imagination behind Joker and Chernobyl.

Maurice Ravel (1875-1937)

A Return to Civility

Donald Macleod untangles the musical repercussions of Ravel’s war experience, and some of his strangest musical experiments, including his Frontispice, for two pianos, five hands.

The music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is much loved for its remarkable orchestral colours and brilliant virtuosity. But his chamber music - intimate, crystalline, and beautiful - is often overlooked. This week, Donald Macleod introduces every one of Ravel’s works for small instrumental ensemble - an array of work that spans the composer’s colourful life and career.

After the trauma of World War One, Ravel barely composed for nearly two years. What he could create - including the little-known “Frontispice” for piano five hands - was strange and jarring. Donald Macleod tells the story of how he slowly came back to life, with a full performance of his sinuous, and rarely-heard, Sonata for Violin and Cello.

Hannah French presents the third of four concerts focusing on top international wind and brass stars, and recorded in May at LSO St Luke's. Today the light shines on flautist Gareth Davies with pianist Michael McHale, who perform a programme of watery-themed and bucolic music.

The recital starts with Debussy's solo work for flute, telling of the melancholic nymph, Syrinx. That is followed by Richard H Walthew's Idyll, full of flowing melodies and birdsong. Electra Perivolaris's Glen Sannox Song was inspired by the landscape and musical traditions of the Isle of Arran, melodic lines tracing the bends and curves of the Glen Sannox river. The watery theme continues with William Grant Still's Songs for flute and piano, and the concert ends with Carl Reinecke's Undine Sonata - a musical telling of the fairy-tale Undine, the water nymph.

Ariane Matiakh (conductor)

For composers in the 19th century, the pages of the One Thousand and One Nights were a portal to a new imaginative world: a place where fantastic stories and exotic images inspired sounds more sensuous, more colourful and more magical than anything that had been heard before. Ravel and Rimsky-Korsakov both drew inspiration from the tales of the beautiful Scheherazade, and both created music that lets a full symphony orchestra weave pure enchantment: a glorious showcase for the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and its charismatic French guest conductor Ariane Matiakh. Sally Beamish, meanwhile, finds stories closer to home, in a beehive-inspired premiere for ‘Queen of Harps’ Catrin Finch.

Women Writers to Put Back on the Bookshelf

Storm Jameson

What is a writer's duty? Katie Cooper considers Storm Jameson's campaigning for refugees, her 1940 appeal To the Conscience of the World, and why her fiction fell out of favour but is now seeing a revival of interest.

Born in Yorkshire in 1891, she wrote war novels and speculative fiction, collections of criticism - including an analysis of modern drama in Europe, the introduction to the 1952 British edition of The Diary of Anne Frank and a host of novels set in European countries. During the Second World War years she was head of PEN, the association of writers, founded in London in 1921 to promote literature and intellectual co-operation.

Katie Cooper teaches at the University of East Anglia and is a New Generation Thinker on the scheme run by the BBC with the Arts and Humanities Research Council to turn research into radio. Her book, War, Nation and Europe in the Novels of Storm Jameson, was published April 2020. If you are an early career academic interested in applying for this year's scheme, you can find details of how to apply on the AHRC website under Funding Opportunities.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001953b)
Maurice Ravel (1875-1937)

Little Master in a Big Country

Donald Macleod tells of the story of Ravel’s thrill at first visiting the USA, a four-month odyssey that took in jazz, Broadway, Gershwin…and 20 pairs of pyjamas!

The music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is much loved for its remarkable orchestral colours and brilliant virtuosity. But his chamber music - intimate, crystalline, and beautiful - is often overlooked. This week, Donald Macleod introduces every one of Ravel’s works for small instrumental ensemble - an array of work that spans the composer’s colourful life and career.

In the spring of 1927, Ravel toured the USA at the height of the Roaring Twenties. He was delighted by what he found - but took the careful preparation of packing no fewer than twenty pairs of pyjamas for the trip! Donald Macleod tells a story of mutual excitement, as Maurice Ravel and America fell in love with each other, with a complete performance of the composer’s jazz-tinged Violin Sonata.

LSO St Luke's Artist Focus: Hakan Hardenberger

Hannah French presents this week's final Lunchtime Concert recorded at LSO St Luke's, each shining a spotlight on international wind and brass players. Today, the thrilling virtuoso duo of trumpeter Hakan Hardenberger and percussionist Colin Currie perform a concert of music including a World Premiere of HK Gruber's Passing the Buck.

The duo have been collaborating for over a decade and are a force to be reckoned with. They begin with a work for trumpet and marimba by Mancunian composer Joe Duddell, followed by a work by Swedish composer Tobias Brostrom. Both artists have performed concertos at the BBC Proms written for them by the Austrian composer HK Gruber, and we'll hear the world premiere of a work called 'Passing the Buck' he has composed for the duo. The concert ends with a work by Brett Dean '.....the scene of the crime.....' written after a long fascination with Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Live at the BBC Proms: Barry Wordsworth conducts the BBC Concert Orchestra and BBC Singers in music linked with royalty, featuring works by Bliss, Britten and Byrd, through Handel, to Vaughan Williams, Elgar and several Masters of the Queen's Music.

Happy and glorious: the story of British music is inextricably linked with royalty, and down the centuries composers ranging from Handel and Elgar to Walton, Parry and Vaughan Williams have risen to royal occasions with music of breath-taking pageantry, beauty and power. In the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year the BBC Concert Orchestra and BBC Singers present a celebration of music and royalty in all its splendour: from the music of the Tudor court to Britten’s Coronation opera Gloriana, by way of Handel’s majestic Coronation Anthems, choral music by the current Master of the Queen’s Music Judith Weir, and a specially commissioned new work by Cheryl Frances-Hoad.


FRI 22:00 Free Thinking (m00140l6)
Futurism

"The beauty of speed. Time and space died yesterday. We already live in the absolute, because we have created the eternal, omnipresent speed." Part of the 1909 manifesto drawn up by Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti that declared the aims of the groundbreaking Futurist branch of modernism. Their rejection of the past included embracing the march of machinery, the power of youth and of violence so how do we view this now? Matthew Sweet is joined by Steven Connor, Selena Daly, Rosalind McKever, and Nathan Waddell.

Producer: Luke Mulhall

Originally broadcast as part of the Modernism season on BBC Radio 3 and 4 and BBC Sounds. There is a collection on the Free Thinking programme website https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07p3nxh

And across the Proms season, various interval features are focusing on cultural openings and events from 1922. You can find those available to download as Arts and Ideas podcasts.


FRI 22:45 The Essay (m000fxx2)
Women Writers to Put Back on the Bookshelf

Yolande Mukagasana

New Generation Thinker Zoe Norridge describes translating the testimony of a nurse who survived the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

In Rwanda, Yolande Mukagasana is a well-known writer, public figure and campaigner for remembrance of the genocide. She has authored three testimonies, a collection of interviews with survivors and perpetrators and two volumes of Rwandan stories. Her work has received numerous international prizes, including an Honourable Mention for the Unesco Education for Peace Prize.

Zoe Norridge, from King’s College London, argues there should be a place for Mukagasana on our shelves in UK, alongside works from the Holocaust and other genocides. Why? Because listening to survivor voices helps us to understand the human cost of mass violence.

Producer: Luke Mulhall


FRI 23:00 Late Junction (m001953n)
Level Up: Gaming Soundtracks

Ahead of the first ever Gaming Prom, Verity Sharp delves into the vast and often surprising world of video game music. Since its inception, video game soundtrack composers have pushed the boundaries of their imagination, initially limited by early technology and now creating new soundworlds to match the medium’s ever more richly imagined visual realms. This music has gone on to capture the suspense and frustration of trying to pass a final level, the emotional toll of a quest, the nostalgia of past battles with friends and foes, heightening an essentially visual experience into an all-consuming world. We’ll hear early adventures in video game music from Hirokazu Tanaka, as heard in classic 1986 game Metroid, music from Soichi Terada’s hardcore jungle and techno-inspired soundtrack for Ape Escape and a track from the darkly comedic post-apocalyptic RPG Lisa: The Painful.

Elsewhere in the show, Romperayo take an avant-garde approach to the traditional sounds of Colombian tropical music, and there’s new music from Balinese gamelan master Dewa Alit, played by the composer’s Gamelan Salukat, a large ensemble that performs on instruments specially built to his designs.
