SAT 01:00 Ultimate Calm (m001m59c)
Ólafur Arnalds: Series 2

Calm sounds for sunsets feat. James Acaster

Join Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds for another unique musical adventure to seek out that all too elusive feeling of calm.

In this episode, Ólafur creates a soothing soundtrack reflective of one of the most inspiring times of day - sunset. His home of Iceland is famous for its eternal darkness during the winter months, but Ólafur prefers to see this as an eternal sunset - when the sun barely rises in the darkest of winter, the whole day is dusk. He plays songs to soundtrack this feeling of eternal sunset, with music from Meredith Monk, Nkeiru Okoye and Oliver Coates.

Plus, Ólafur’s favourite comedian James Acaster selects his sonic safe haven - the piece of music that brings him ultimate calm. James picks a track that has brought him calm for nearly 20 years, one that he always returns to for its vivid soundscape of diving guitar lines and evocative electronics. These eventually morph into a forlorn indie song that tells a story of love and nature, while you close your eyes and drift away…

SAT 11:45 Music Matters (m001md2f)
Brad Mehldau, François-Xavier Roth

With his new memoir ‘Formation - Building a Personal Canon, Part I’ hitting bookshops, and a new collaborative album with the tenor Ian Bostridge released this week, the American Jazz pianist Brad Mehldau joins Kate Molleson to discuss his childhood in small town New England, his forays into the New York Jazz scene of the 1990s, his encounters with kind musical heroes and future collaborators, and what it means to be a musician.

Telling the story the 18th-century “Irish giant” Charles Byrne, whose corpse was stolen to order and put on public display, Kate speaks to composer Sarah Angliss about the World Premiere of her new opera Giant at this year’s Aldeburgh Festival. She explains how she’s treating this surprisingly tender tale of grave robbing and dissection.

As Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month gets under way, Music Matters learns about a new project to highlight the invaluable recorded collection of gypsy and traveller voices archived within the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library. We speak to the University of East Anglia’s Dr. Hazel Marsh about the impetus to make collections, housed at the English Folk Dance and Song Society, more accessible to Gypsy and Traveller people seeking engagement with their cultural heritage, and hear from the Scottish Traveller Ian McGregor.

Celebrating two decades of music making with Les Siècles, Kate hears from conductor François-Xavier Roth as he prepares to tour with the orchestra to the Barbican, Edinburgh International Festival and BBC Proms. With new albums of works by Ravel and Ligeti about to be released this month, too, he tells Kate about the energy of discovery which drives the ensemble’s prolific recording activity, and why performance needs to be dangerous.

SAT 13:00 Inside Music (m001md2x)
Pianist Emma Abbate on the beauty of teamwork

Today on Inside Music, pianist Emma Abbate looks at music from fresh angles: Brahms’s Clarinet Trio reveals his tender and lyrical style, a piano concerto by Nino Rota celebrates his output beyond film music, and a song by Ildebrando Pizzetti shows that there is a lot more to Italian music than the operatic stereotype.

Emma also admires Handel’s deep understanding of the psychological turmoil of the character Alcina, and Caroline Shaw’s hypnotising string quartet ‘Entr’acte’ draws her in with a repeated motif.

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

Ahmad Jamal

Julian Joseph pays tribute to Ahmad Jamal a titan of jazz (or as Jamal preferred to call it, American classical music) who has died at the age of 92. Journeying through widely celebrated pieces to rarer offerings, Julian explores Jamal’s incredible career – from his work with Art Tatum and Miles Davis to collaborations with Donald Byrd, Idris Muhammad and more. As well as sitting at the forefront of musical innovation, Jamal has influenced generations of musicians from across the genres, including within the world of hip-hop where his work has been sampled by artists such as De La Soul, Nas and Common, inspired by the powerful grooves and lyricism that his original compositions offer. Throughout the show we hear highlights from an interview that Julian recorded with Ahmad in 2002, as well as words from contemporary pianists Vijay Iyer, Hiromi and Robert Glasper who offer their reflections on Ahmad Jamal’s timeless genius.

SAT 18:30 Opera on 3 (m001md3t)
Mozart's The Magic Flute

Nathalie Stutzmann conducts Mozart's fairy-tale comedy at the New York Metropolitan Opera, starring Erin Morley as Pamina and Lawrence Brownlee as Tamino, the Prince who hopes to win her, with only a magic flute to protect him against the dark powers of her mother the Queen of the Night. The Freemasonry-inspired story (both Mozart his librettist were Masons) is frankly bonkers, so sit back and enjoy the music and the stage high jinks. This daring new staging by English director Simon McBurney raises the orchestra pit so that singers and players can interact, and was hailed by The Wall Street Journal's critic as "the best production I’ve ever witnessed of Mozart’s opera".

Presented by Debra Lew Harder with commentator Ira Siff.

Tamino ..... Lawrence Brownlee (tenor)

SUNDAY 04 JUNE 2023

SUN 00:00 Freeness (m001md48)
Call and Response

Corey Mwamba presents new improvised music from artists and collectives responding to art. British pianist Robert Mitchell draws from the experiential wisdom of McCoy Tyner, who said that his time playing with John Coltrane was like “stepping into the flames”. Mitchell’s band is, in turn, called The Flame, which speaks to the heightened experience of connection shared with his collaborators Neil Charles and Mark Sanders - a space of ‘pure spirit’, with a sonic tapestry to match. Plus, a live performance from Henry Threadgill, who integrates Milford Grave’s experiments with the human heartbeat into a sweeping three-movement suite.

Elsewhere in the programme, music that inspires poetry. Ed Shipsey, Jordan Muscatello and petals (Petero Kalulé) conjure a Surrealist twilight zone between sleep and waking states, where a dog’s paw scratches time off the face of the earth. Or something like that.

Sarah Walker with an invigorating musical mix

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

Today Sarah finds the music of Tchaikovsky sounding almost improvised under the fingers of violinist Gil Shaham, and is absorbed by the dramatic, visceral orchestration of Carl Orff.

She also admires the sparkling sound of winds and strings as they chat across the orchestra in the Scherzettino from Cécile Chaminade’s ballet Callirhoë, and enjoys one of her favourite piano sonatas by Mozart.

Plus, Caroline Shaw transports us to the Cutting Garden of Dumbarton Oaks…

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (m001md33)
Kit de Waal

Author Kit de Waal was brought up in a working class family in the Moseley suburb of Birmingham in the 1960s and 70s. She talks to Michael Berkeley about how reading wasn’t part of her childhood; she didn’t discover a love of books until much later in life. Her bestselling first novel, My Name is Leon, written in her 40s, draws on her own childhood experiences and her early career as a legal worker in the foster care system, and she devoted some of the proceeds to setting up a scholarship for aspiring authors from working class backgrounds.

Her music choices include tracks from classic film scores - her father was an avid film buff - including Rachmaninov, Gershwin and Oscar Hammerstein's Broadway version of Carmen, alongside Bach, Chopin and Miles Davis.

SUN 14:00 The Early Music Show (m000pf0h)
Vincenzo Galilei

Hannah French and Zak Ozmo explore the life and work of the extraordinary 16th-century Italian lutenist, music theorist and composer Vincenzo Galilei, who was born around 500 years ago.

Galilei was a hugely important figure in the musical life of the late Renaissance - a polymath, who studied the science of music as well as performing it, and was clearly an enormous inspiration for his son - the astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei. Some scholars credit him with directing the activity of his son away from pure, abstract mathematics and towards experimentation using mathematical quantitative description of the results. And Zak Ozmo says there is a case for regarding him as the father of Baroque music, pre-empting the work of Monteverdi and possibly influencing JS Bach to compose the Well-Tempered Clavier over a century later.

We also hear from Acoustic Engineer, Professor Trevor Cox, who looks at the practical experiments Galilei carried out to see if Pythagoras's theories about string lengths in musical instruments were correct.

SUN 17:30 Words and Music (m001cgh0)
The Environment

From poplar trees felled in 1879 through fires in Australia and the Amazon to the balm of river swimming: at a time when the effects of climate change and global warming are becoming increasingly evident, our relationship with the planet that we live on has never been under such close scrutiny. Inevitably these are issues that find expression in the works of writers, composers and artists and have done for some time. In readings by Chloë Sommer and Ewan Bailey we find Gerard Manley Hopkins mourning the felling of some beloved poplar trees back in 1879. More recently Les Murray writes of devastating wildfires in Australia 'We have heard that the smoke from this coast was seen far out over/the curve of the earth, on the open Pacific, on islands', while in 'Bottled Macaw' Pascale Petit considers the threat of smuggling endangered species to biodiversity. There's also an extract from Rachel Carson's classic environmental work 'Silent Spring' about pesticides published in 1962 . The music ranges from Luna Pearl Woolf's 'Après moi, le déluge', written in response to the catastrophic flooding caused by Hurricane Katrina, to Heitor Villa Lobos's evocation of a forest fire in the Amazon, to Marvin Gaye's 1971 elegy for the environment 'Mercy Mercy Me'. But there is room for hope too. In 'Swims' Elizabeth-Jane Burnett celebrates the literal immersion in nature offered by river-swimming and environmentalist Bill McKibben asks 'What would it mean . . . if we began to truly and viscerally think of ourselves as just one species among many?'. Music suggesting the possibility of a better future includes Re-Greening by Tansy Davies and a piece by electronica duo Orbital that was recorded in a solar-powered studio.

SUN 18:45 Between the Ears (m001md3w)
Supply Lines

In this meditative Between the Ears, poet Aidan Tulloch checks in to the depots, the fulfilment centres, the dockyards, the stockyards, and the backyards that are all responsible for the way we live now, piecing together a vivid fever dream of light, speed, noise, melancholy, and the open road.

Following the supply chain from the container port to the doorstep, he seeks out its hidden corners and all the people who make things move.

Featuring contributions from Professor Laleh Khalili, Exeter University; Julian Wong, Stella Maris East Anglian Port Chaplain; Joe Underwood, Warden Trimley Marshes; Justin Zantboer, bird ringer and logistics at Felixstowe Port; Denis, truck driver from Estonia; Angelo, Supervisor at Amazon, Tilbury; Jake Margiotta from William George Online Auctions; Paul the courier.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001md83)
Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868)

Son of a horn

Gioachino Rossini, born in Italy in 1792, began writing music at the age of 12. His first opera was performed when he was 18, and he wrote 37 more in the span of 20 years. Then, at the peak of his fame, the composer suddenly disappeared from the public eye. What led him to this moment? This week, Donald Macleod traces Rossini's career, from his humble beginnings as the son of a horn player, learning to write music in order to support his family, to travelling the world and rubbing shoulders with royalty. We'll hear the truth behind his mysterious retirement and discover what made him return to composing, at the very end of his life.

In today's programme, we meet Rossini's mother and father, a self-taught soprano and a horn-player who was in and out of prison throughout the composer's youth. Both of them uniquely inspired Rossini, and we can hear their influence in the music he began writing at just 12 years old.

Journeys to the Grave

Naomi Alderman on Mary Wollstonecraft

Five more writers go on five reflective, restorative and often playful journeys in search of the final resting places of their literary heroes.

Today in the first essay of a new series, Naomi Alderman goes in search of Mary Wollstonecraft's tomb in Old St Pancras churchyard - reputedly the spot where, among other things, Wollstonecraft’s daughter Mary Shelley learnt to write. She sheds light on the life of this important feminist pioneer, offering a moving personal reflection on mother-daughter relationships.

Alderman is an award-winning author whose books include Disobedience and The Power, recently adapted into a nine-part TV series.

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001md79)
Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868)

Everything is amazing

Rossini meets his muse and makes his name.

Gioachino Rossini, born in Italy in 1792, began writing music at the age of 12. His first opera was performed when he was 18, and he wrote 37 more in the span of 20 years. Then, at the peak of his fame, the composer suddenly disappeared from the public eye. What led him to this moment? This week, Donald Macleod traces Rossini's career, from his humble beginnings as the son of a horn player, learning to write music in order to support his family, to travelling the world and rubbing shoulders with royalty. We'll hear the truth behind his mysterious retirement and discover what made him return to composing, at the very end of his life.

In today's programme, we hear how Rossini escaped to Naples, met a Spanish soprano who would become his muse and wrote the opera which put him on the map: Il barbiere di Siviglia.

Mozart, Rameau and Haydn from the Norfolk and Norwich Festival

New Generation Artists at the 2023 Norfolk and Norwich Festival.
Some of the most exciting young musical talent on the world stage make their eagerly-awaited appearances in the pitch-perfect acoustics of Norwich's historic Octagon Chapel. On the bill in this selection of recordings made at the series of Radio 3 New Generation Artists' concerts, the violinist Geneva Lewis pairs a sonata by Mozart with one from her compatriot, the New Zealander, Douglas Lilburn and the young Scottish accordion sensation, Ryan Corbett, plays Rameau. Also in the first half, the Leonkoro Quartet - who over the last year or two have won just about every string quartet prize going - play Haydn's charming 'Bird' Quartet; its opening promises to sound especially magical in the glorious acoustic of the Octagon chapel, built around the time that Haydn wrote the work. And after Haydn, the lights are dimmed for the sell-out concert from the star jazz keyboardist Fergus McCreadie and his Trio as they play tracks from their album Forest Floor. Shortlisted for a Mercury Prize it instantly topped the UK Jazz & Blues charts.

Michel Piccoli

Le Mépris in 1963 brought fame to Michel Piccoli, Jean-Luc Godard's new wave film Contempt, which was based on an Italian novel about a love triangle and power dynamics involving a playwright asked to work on a film script. Piccoli (1925-2020) went on to work with other directors, including Buñuel, Chabrol, Rivette, Demy and Sautet in roles which run from a weak priest to a confused pope, with a host of rebels, cynics, lovers and losers mixed in. Matthew Sweet is joined by Geoff Andrew, Muriel Zagha, Phuong Le and Adam Scovell to look at this remarkable career that spanned seven decades.

Producer: Torquil MacLeod

Michel Piccoli: A Fearless Talent, is running at BFI Southbank from 1-29 June.

You can find a series of discussions about film stars and key films available as Arts & Ideas podcasts and on BBC Sounds including Marlene Dietrich, Jacques Tati, Audrey Hepburn, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Sidney Poitier, Laurel and Hardy's The Music Box, Charlie Chaplin's City Lights.

WED 22:00 Free Thinking (m001md9d)
Yellowface, AI and Asian stereotypes

Is it ever okay to pass off someone else’s work as your own? What if it’s a computer programme faking it? And how are our perceptions of ownership and Identity influenced by the apparent power of digital technology?

These are some of the big questions Chris Harding discusses with :

Rebecca Kuang, author of a new novel, ‘Yellowface’, which is largely a story about plagiarism and publishing, but also touches on identity, social media and use of digital technology in perpetuating misinformation.

New Generation Thinker Kerry McInerny, who researches the impact of AI. Amongst other aspects, she’s looking at how it can get things wrong, and its misuse in racial profiling.
https://www.gender.cam.ac.uk/technology-gender-and-intersectionality-research-project/kerry-mackereth

And, MIT economist Daron Acemoglu, whose new book ‘Power and Progress’ says advances in technology don’t always equate with positive outcomes. He discusses the way AI algorithms have been used in social media to make money and spread hate, but also outlines how we can harness tech for good.
Power and Progress: Our Thousand-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity written by Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson is out now.

Ghislaine Boddington is a curator and director, specialising in the future human, body responsive technologies and digital intimacy. She is a Reader in Digital Immersion at the University of Greenwich. https://ghislaineboddington.com/

You can find more from Kerry on the Arts and Ideas podcast as part of our strand New Thinking – made in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council which focuses specifically on research being done in UK universities –
And the AHRC is also behind a big project involving academics in Edinburgh and the Ada Lovelace Institute looking at AI ethics
And if you want to hear about AI in music – composers Robert Laidlow and Emily Howard talked to Radio 3’s Music Matters programme and you can find that on BBC Sounds https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001l4d8

THU 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001md9s)
Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868)

Indifferent to judgement

At the height of his fame, Rossini showed no sign of slowing down - until he did. Why did the prolific composer suddenly retire?

Gioachino Rossini, born in Italy in 1792, began writing music at the age of 12. His first opera was performed when he was 18, and he wrote 37 more in the span of 20 years. Then, at the peak of his fame, the composer suddenly disappeared from the public eye. What led him to this moment? This week, Donald Macleod traces Rossini's career, from his humble beginnings as the son of a horn player, learning to write music in order to support his family, to travelling the world and rubbing shoulders with royalty. We'll hear the truth behind his mysterious retirement and discover what made him return to composing, at the very end of his life.

In today's programme, Donald discovers what drove Rossini to suddenly put down his composer's quill, and we meet the woman who may as well have saved his life...

Handel's Dettingen Te Deum and Coronation Anthems

Royal Handel: the French baroque music specialists, Le Concert Spirituel celebrate Handel's strong connection with King George II, from his Coronation Anthems for the king’s crowning in 1726 to his Te Deum celebrating George II's victory over the French at the Battle of Dettingen in Bavaria in 1743.
Handel's great festal music is now so indelibly associated with great state occasions that it's easy to forget that the German composer only became a citizen of these isles quite late in life. A great favourite of George I, one of the king's last acts before his death in 1727 was to sign an "Act of naturalisation of George Frideric Händel and others". Händel - now Handel - responded with his first commission as a newly naturalised British subject by writing - at breakneck speed - the music for the coronation of George II of Great Britain and Queen Caroline later. This performance comes from the church of St James's Spanish Place, a church which charts its history back to the re-establishment of the Spanish Embassy in London, following the restoration of Charles II. Its majestic neo-Gothic interior and soaring ceilings make it ideally suited for large-scale early music performances presented by its near neighbour, Wigmore Hall.

Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868)

Sins of old age

Rossini returns from retirement.

Gioachino Rossini, born in Italy in 1792, began writing music at the age of 12. His first opera was performed when he was 18, and he wrote 37 more in the span of 20 years. Then, at the peak of his fame, the composer suddenly disappeared from the public eye. What led him to this moment? This week, Donald Macleod traces Rossini's career, from his humble beginnings as the son of a horn player, learning to write music in order to support his family, to travelling the world and rubbing shoulders with royalty. We'll hear the truth behind his mysterious retirement and discover what made him return to composing, at the very end of his life.

When most composers retire, they retire for good, disappearing off the face of the earth to enjoy their earnings in peace. But in the final years of his life, something spurred Rossini to return. In today's programme, Donald finds Rossini back in Paris, re-inspired.

Journeys to the Grave

Geoff Dyer on DH Lawrence

Five writers go on five reflective, restorative and often playful journeys in search of the final resting places of their literary heroes.

In this final essay of the series, Geoff Dyer retraces a pilgrimage to New Mexico, where DH Lawrence’s ashes were supposedly built into a concrete shrine near Taos at the request of his estranged wife Frieda. But were they actually his ashes?

Dyer is a multi-award winning novelist and non-fiction writer. His many books include Out of Sheer Rage: In the Shadow of D.H. Lawrence, and his latest The Last Days of Roger Federer: And Other Endings, which was published in 2022.

Producer: Ciaran Bermingham


FRI 23:00 Late Junction (m001mdc4)
Dirar Kalash and Zeynep Ayşe Hatipoglu in session

Verity Sharp presents the latest Late Junction long-distance collaboration session between Palestinian multi-instrumentalist Dirar Kalash and Istanbul-based cellist Zeynep Ayşe Hatipoglu.

Dirar Kalash is a multi-instrumentalist, sound artist and researcher based between Berlin and his home of Ramahllah in the State of Palestine. Through his work playing a whole array of wind instruments, electronics and percussion, Kalash explores how music and sound intersect with language, architecture and visual arts to reveal spaces for unity and resistance. He is the founder of music initiative Sonic Liberation Front, and is interested in different approaches to improvisation and collaboration.

Zeynep Ayşe Hatipoglu is a cellist, composer and researcher based in Istanbul. Coming from a classical background, her work has shifted towards more electro-acoustic sounds, combining the experimental with traditional Turkish music and sound art. Hatipoglu’s work often centres on exploring methods of collaboration and improvisation, and she is a member of numerous music collectives including Klank.ist ensemble, Heya Collective and iKKi Duo.

Elsewhere in the show, we hear some energetic Cameroonian bikutsi from the late Roger Bekono, experiments on a toy glockenspiel from Australian producer Broken Chip, and vocal reflections on the space between wakefulness and sleep from Glasgow-based composer Nichola Scrutton.
