9.30am Proms Composer: Marina Frolova-Walker on Dmitri Shostakovich

Marina Frolova-Walker chooses five essential recordings of BBC Proms Composer Shostakovich and explains why you need to hear them. Marina also shares her 'On Repeat' track – a recording which she is currently listening to again and again.

Using long-familiar classical forms – opera, symphony, concerto, string quartet, sonata – Shostakovich forged his own distinct personal style to become one of the 20th century's most significant composers. Often tonal, tuneful and deeply felt, many of his works have become repertoire staples and perhaps part of their appeal is Shostakovich's own troubled biography. As a citizen of the Soviet Union during some of its most repressive years, he went from lauded teenage prodigy to being censured by Stalin himself. Forever trying to walk the line between personal integrity and regime approval, he not only produced his share of tub-thumping agitprop but also music freighted with ciphers and emotional ambiguity.

Established nearly a quarter of a century ago, Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme is acknowledged internationally as the foremost programme 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 and venues, 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, women and diverse 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 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 including pianists Paul Lewis, Pavel Kolesnikov, Benjamin Grosvenor and Beatrice Rana, violinists Alina Ibragimova and Lisa Batiashvili, the Belcea, Jerusalem and Ébène Quartets, singers Alice Coote and Fatma Said and the trumpeter Alison Balsom.

Accordionist Ksenija Sidorova with powerful melodies and musical embraces

Classical accordionist Ksenija Sidorova shares a tranquil choral piece to accompany us through hard times, and the Signum Saxophone Quartet play what Ksenija thinks could be the best version of a track from Star Wars.

She also finds some perfect musical pairings - from the unusual combination of mandolin and piano in a track by Omer Avital, to the transportive sonorities of accordion combined with electronic music, and a conductor whose connection with his orchestra shines through a symphony by Tchaikovsky.

Plus, a harp piece by Lavinia Meijer which is the perfect lullaby…

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

SAT 17:00 J to Z (m001pfrr)
Reggie Workman

Julian Joseph hears the musical inspirations of double bass maestro and jazz legend, Reggie Workman. His deep tone, soulful groove, and virtuosic delivery form the foundation of countless albums from fellow jazz greats such as Art Blakey, Donald Byrd, Alice Coltrane, Yusef Lateef, Max Roach, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Wayne Shorter, to name a few, as well as for his own projects and - famously for John Coltrane. Here Reggie shares music and memories from his time working with Coltrane – from conversations at the kitchen table to Coltrane’s expectations of his band to their seminal album recorded live at New York’s iconic venue, the Village Vanguard. He also reflections on some of his own musical works and his intentions as a bandleader.

Also in the programme, in a bass double bill, concert highlights from double bassist Avishai Cohen performing live at Switzerland's Cully Jazz Festival, as a part of the festival's 40th year edition. Avishai is celebrated for the physicality and creativity that he brings to his instrument, and for his continuous musical explorations, as he offers something new with each album. His festival performance featured a selection of music from some of his latest projects.

SAT 18:30 My Problem with... (m000yzcx)
Mendelssohn

Mahan Esfahani talks to the conductor Paul McCreesh about his lost love for Mendelssohn. At one time it was a passionate affair. As a budding pianist Mahan looked to the great German composer’s music to show him how to be an adult, to be measured, enlightened and cultivated. But as with many young loves the passion dwindled, his music began to fall flat and became predictable, basic and boring.

Felix Mendelssohn is a much-loved figure in both German and British music for his ability to recreate the Baroque world with the added spice of 19th-century harmony. An affable character whose compositional style was imitated by many after his death, Mendelssohn is often celebrated for his honesty and simplicity.

Not wishing to give up on the cherished memories of his youth, Mahan seeks some couples counselling from the conductor Paul McCreesh. The founder and director of the Gabrieli Consort and Players, Paul McCreesh has brought considerable insight and a willingness to experiment to all kinds of repertoire, including his recording of Mendelssohn’s oratorio ‘Elijah’.

Together they work through the arguments that Mendelssohn is stuck between the Classical and Romantic periods, unsure of his purpose; that the Mendelssohnian style became ubiquitous making it clichéd and that he writes marvellous beginnings and endings, but what’s with all the fluff in the middle?

Iván Fischer, conductor

In the first of its three Proms this weekend, the Budapest Festival Orchestra and founder-conductor Iván Fischer are joined by celebrated fellow Hungarian Sir András Schiff for one of the great Romantic piano concertos – Schumann’s generous, poetic bravura piece that renegotiates the relationship between soloist and orchestra. Weber’s overture to Der Freischütz sees Romanticism take a supernatural turn when a huntsman makes a deal with the Devil. Darkness and light also meet in Mendelssohn’s atmospheric ‘Scottish’ Symphony, inspired by a twilight visit to the Palace of Holyrood, haunted by memories of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Alongside her focused explorations of traditional Japanese music, Yumiko Tanaka has, since the 1990s, been part of a nexus of improvisers who play the futozao (wide neck) shamisen, a stringed instrument comprising a wooden body covered with animal or synthetic skin and a long neck on which strings are strung and plucked. With the music of Tayutauta (2004), her debut solo record which is re-released this month, Tanaka brought a variety of experimental techniques - including plucking, bowing and the use of "prepared" objects - into conversation with the sounds of the instrument’s heritage.

On the other side of the planet, a trio comprising Camille Émaille, dieb13 and Hans Koch get together for a live session in Biel, Switzerland. Their combined sonic gestures create otherworldly atmospheres charged with the tension and punctuated by the cries of Koch’s soprano saxophone. Plus there’s music from Brew featuring Miya Masaoka (koto, electronics), Reggie Workman (bass, percussion) and Gerry Hemingway (drums, electronics) whose approach fuses tradition and imagination.

SUN 17:00 The Listening Service (m0004dpn)
Why are classical audiences so quiet?

Tom looks at how modern audiences are hooked on silence in the concert hall. Citing a recent incident where the rustling of a sweet wrapper by an audience member in Malmo created a ruckus so powerful that it spilled spectacularly into a violent brawl, Tom will examine why silence is considered so important and noise so abhorrent in classical concerts.


SUN 17:30 Words and Music (m000k8y5)
Flights of Fancy

Barbara Flynn and Hugo Speer read poetry and prose on the theme of flight, both literal and imaginative. The readings in this edition of Words and Music have been roughly grouped into three sections that flow seamlessly into each other. They are: flight in nature, human flight and flights of the imagination.

We encounter characters from Shakespeare: Ariel, Queen Mab and one of Titania's fairies, witness a new speed record for seagulls, peruse Dylan Thomas's sleeping fishing village, climb into the wild and majestic mountains with William Wordsworth and face the fantastical monsters of Lewis Carroll and H.P. Lovecraft.

We're on the wing with Einojuhani Rautavaara and a flock of migrating with swans. Kevin Volans takes us to South Africa with tribal rhythms that accompany Horatio Clare's observations of African Swallows. Paul Lawrence Dunbar's inability to see the sparrows at his window rings as true now as it would have been when the poem was written over 100 years ago. Kathleen Jamie's insight into the habits of peregrine falcons is as much an insight into her own life as that of the birds.

John Gillespie Magee wrote his sonnet High Flight after flying a Spitfire Mk1 and it has been paired here with Fatboy Slim's vision of the transonic jet fighter plane the Hawker Hunter, also known as the Bird of Prey. Both share the sense of freedom and exhilaration of fast flight.
Vaughan Williams is better known for his pastoral sound but his motet "A vision of aeroplanes" is a veritable whirlwind. He takes a passage from the biblical Book of Ezekiel that seems to prophesy an aeroplane appearing through the clouds and sets it to tumultuous organ and vocal writing.

Flying for humans obviously involves rather more logistics than for birds but there are some airports around the world that add character and spark to what is mostly a necessary evil. We hear a little about the quirks of flying in Bolivia and Ecuador and Britain's only 3 runway airport, Barra, which is on a beach in north Scotland and lit by car headlights.

SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature (m0013xsm)
Hidden Women and Silenced Scores

Leah Broad, one of Radio 3’s New Generation Thinkers and a music historian, explores why the music of three 20th-century women composers, much loved at the time, is so little heard today. Looking at issues of style, gender, nationality and genre, she hears from those who knew Avril Coleridge Taylor, Doreen Carwithen and Dorothy Howell well, and uncovers the sometimes shocking stories of how their music was silenced.

Contributors include Dorothy Howell’s niece and nephew, Meryn and Columb Howell; Andrew Palmer and Andrew Knowles, who knew Doreen Carwithen; authors Sophie Fuller and Jeremy Dibble; musicians Chi-Chi Nwanoku and Samantha Ege; and Oliver Dashwood, the great-grandson of Avril Coleridge Taylor.

The producer is Paul Arnold, for CTVC.

Prom 39: Ligeti, Bartók and Beethoven

Live at the BBC Proms: the Budapest Festival Orchestra, with pianist András Schiff and conductor Iván Fischer, play Ligeti, Bartók and Beethoven.

Anna-Lena Elbert, soprano
Sir András Schiff, piano
Budapest Festival Orchestra

Iván Fischer, conductor

Iván Fischer, his Budapest Festival Orchestra and soprano Anna-Lena Elbert mark the 100th anniversary of one of the 20th century’s great originals with Mysteries of the Macabre – three arias from Ligeti’s opera Le Grand Macabre that explode in a cartoonish riot of irony and remarkable technique. Meanwhile Sir András Schiff is the soloist in Bartók’s Third Piano Concerto, an exquisite, elegiac musical farewell. Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’ Symphony ends the programme: a passionate, provocative statement of musical and human possibility.


SUN 22:00 Record Review Extra (m001pg1n)
Marina Frolova-Walker's Shostakovich

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 Marina Frolova-Walker's's pick of recordings of music by Dmitri Shostakovich.


SUN 23:00 The American Clarinet (m001cyh7)
Mid-Century Modern

Berginald Rash charts the fortunes of the American clarinet as it crossed both borders and genres in the mid-20th century. More people than ever - including thousands of children - were picking up this adaptable instrument, making it second only to the guitar in its popularity. We've seen how the dawning jazz-scene was an early adopter; now it was ubiquitous and indispensable across the musical spectrum, including wind band music and Latin jazz. Berginald picks his favourite performances from the evolving lineage of the American school of clarinet playing, including cuts by "King of Swing" Benny Goodman and 1960s avant-gardist Eric Dolphy, and classical composers from Bartok to Bernstein. And we end with an otherworldly Jon Manasse performing the iconic Clarinet Concerto by great American composer Aaron Copland.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (m0014yql)
Henriëtte Bosmans (1895-1952)

Family Matters

Donald Macleod looks at Bosmans’s relationship with her parents and finds out about a confrontation with the Gestapo.

Henriëtte Bosmans seemed destined for a life in music from the moment of her birth, in 1895. Her father was the principal solo cellist in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra and her mother a piano teacher at the Amsterdam Conservatory. Bosmans developed a flourishing career and won international success with her Concert Piece for Violin and Orchestra. As a concert pianist she performed alongside conductors such as Ernest Ansermet and George Szell.

Bosmans didn’t follow her mother's Jewish faith. Nevertheless, her ancestry played a significant role in the events of her life. She lived through the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, when tens of thousands of Amsterdam Jews were deported to concentration camps, including her fellow citizen, Anne Frank. This week, Donald Macleod is joined by Bosmans expert Dr Helen Metzelaar and also Dr Laurien Vastenhout from Amsterdam’s Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide.

Today, Donald sees Henriëtte’s mother, Sara, arrested by the Nazi secret police and sent to the transit camp at Westerbork. Henriëtte sets out to rescue her.

And, in Birmingham, Helen Charlston makes an imaginative pairing of songs by John Ireland and Fanny Mendelssohn Henselt.

Established nearly a quarter of a century ago, Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme is acknowledged internationally as the foremost programme 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 and venues, 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, women and diverse 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 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 including pianists Paul Lewis, Pavel Kolesnikov, Benjamin Grosvenor and Beatrice Rana, violinists Alina Ibragimova and Lisa Batiashvili, the Belcea, Jerusalem and Ébène Quartets, singers Alice Coote and Fatma Said and the trumpeter Alison Balsom.

MON 22:00 Sunday Feature (m0011cm1)
A Tree Story

From forest to concert hall, a tree makes an incredible journey to become a beautiful sounding musical instrument. But why does it sound as it does? Is it the quality of the wood? The skill of the instrument builder? What part do the acoustics of performance spaces play?

Radio 3 presenter Martin Handley has played on his Great-Great-Grandfather’s violin since he was seven years old. He’s always admired its beauty and been intrigued by its provenance, which set him to wondering about the alchemy of the relationship between wood and the craftsmen who return it to a living thing.

To find out more, Martin joins violinist Christian Garrick, about whose instrument we know everything, and together they chart a journey backwards from Royal Birmingham Conservatoire’s Bradshaw Hall to visit the forests of Bavaria. While there, we also discover the surprising story of a little Alpine town that was the cradle of lute & violin-making 500 years ago.

Martin talks to the maker of Christian’s violin – John Dilworth – about the process of building instruments, and what is required from the raw materials. He also meets an acoustician, an engineer and a dendrochronologist who help reveal some of the science behind the music.

The final chapter takes us to forester Andreas Pahler, who lovingly sources the trees that will become countless instruments, the world over, and who takes us to the very spot where Christian’s violin was born.


MON 22:45 The Essay (m000nmpx)
Africa in the City

Marseille

Writer and broadcaster Lindsay Johns introduces his new series of essays on five great cities which have been influenced by African migration, as he discusses Marseille.

Looking for inspiration to Ian Fleming's 'Thrilling Cities', Lindsay wants to eschew the loud, brash main avenues and explore instead the quiet back alleys, abandoning tourist sites in favour of lesser known, more local and edgier haunts. But he also wants to ditch the colonial mindset always looking for European influence, and instead examine how these cities have been affected by migration from Africa.

And in Marseille, the first of his five, Lindsay finds it all: a truly Franco-African metropolis, infused with gastronomic, religious, linguistic, musical, sartorial and literary influences from the other side of the Mediterranean.

Producer: Giles Edwards

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (m0014ylj)
Henriëtte Bosmans (1895-1952)

Concert Pianist

Donald Macleod traces Bosmans’s trajectory as a pianist, and her short-lived engaged to a fellow musician.

Henriëtte Bosmans seemed destined for a life in music from the moment of her birth, in 1895. Her father was the principal solo cellist in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra and her mother a piano teacher at the Amsterdam Conservatory. Bosmans developed a flourishing career and won international success with her Concert Piece for Violin and Orchestra. As a concert pianist she performed alongside conductors such as Ernest Ansermet and George Szell.

Bosmans didn’t follow her mother's Jewish faith. Nevertheless, her ancestry played a significant role in the events of her life. She lived through the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, when tens of thousands of Amsterdam Jews were deported to concentration camps, including her fellow citizen, Anne Frank. This week, Donald Macleod is joined by Bosmans expert Dr Helen Metzelaar and also Dr Laurien Vastenhout from Amsterdam’s Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide.

During the 1920s and 30s, Henriëtte Bosmans was making a name for herself as a concert pianist. She was regularly engaged to perform with orchestras and her chamber ensemble, toured the Netherlands. The intense pressure of her performing work led Bosmans to feel that she’d reached a crisis point as a composer and she sought the help of her neighbour, the composer Willem Pijper. From this point her compositions began to move away from the Late-Romantic sound of the 19th century, towards a more forward-looking style. In 1934 Bosmans became engaged to the violinist Francis Koene. However, tragedy struck, and Koene died that same year of a brain tumour. Years later, Bosmans confessed that she “died a little bit then” herself.

Tchaikovsky Competition-winner Alexandre Kantorow has been hailed as ‘Liszt reincarnated’ and a ‘fire-breathing virtuoso’. Still in his twenties, the young pianist makes a much-anticipated Proms debut, joining Vasily Petrenko and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra as soloist in Beethoven’s poetic Piano Concerto No. 4. Music of terror and despair, frenzied horror and – eventually – a flicker of triumph supply a musical portrait of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin in Shostakovich’s impassioned Symphony No. 10, while more abstract orchestral soundscapes come courtesy of anniversary composer Ligeti’s Lontano.

How to Rebuild a City

Dr Lisa Mullen tells the story of the rebuilding of Coventry.

The blitzing of Coventry during the second world war laid waste to the city. In its rebuilding, Coventry became a laboratory for new architectural ideas. It was a city of firsts – first ring road, first pedestrian precinct - and inspired urban development around the world.

The intriguing fact is that this vision was a pre-war idea. It was dreamed up long before the bombs fell, when Coventry was a boomtown: the fastest growing city in the UK, headquarters of its most exciting industry – cars – and was the best-preserved medieval city in the country.

It had a lot going for it. But as sociologists came to Coventry to study its prosperity, its radical council and its even more radical city architect dreamed up an extraordinary plan which would utterly transform the city. Medieval buildings would go. In their place: parkland, fountains, public art, and the clean lines of sophisticated, understated, modernist buildings. A unified plan for a modern age. The Labour council saw it as a statement of socialism – they were building a better life for all.

In telling the story of how it was built, we meet one of the most extraordinary architects of the 20th century. 29-year-old Donald Gibson arrived in 1938. On his living room floor, his energetic team built their model of a dream city but realised this vision would mean bulldozing the city’s heritage. We track Gibson’s battles with the authorities in his attempt to persuade them to reject the past and embrace his new ideas.

In the end, the war provided the opportunity, as the city was largely destroyed in the blitz. But there was still opposition, both within Coventry and in Whitehall. And it took all of Gibson’s considerable ingenuity to cajole, influence, and seize opportunities to transform Coventry into the City of Tomorrow.

The result was unique – architecture and art which was lauded and loved. But, though designed as a utopia, the fall from grace was dramatic - its buildings have been derided in recent decades.

Lisa Mullen tracks Gibson’s journey and asks what happened to that vision? What went wrong in Coventry?

The answers are found in the city centre, where Dr Mullen talks to Professor Louise Campbell, Dr Otto Saumarez-Smith and Dr Sarah Walford from the University of Warwick; Professor Adrian Smith from the University of Southampton, and Philip Hubbard Professor of Urban Studies at Kings College London. Plus Gerry McGovern and local historians Paul Maddocks and Roger Bailey. And Jane Thomas, Gibson’s daughter.

WED 12:00 Composer of the Week (m0014ys6)
Henriëtte Bosmans (1895-1952)

Occupied Amsterdam

Donald Macleod looks into Bosmans’s war years

Henriëtte Bosmans seemed destined for a life in music from the moment of her birth, in 1895. Her father was the principal solo cellist in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra and her mother a piano teacher at the Amsterdam Conservatory. Bosmans developed a flourishing career and won international success with her Concert Piece for Violin and Orchestra. As a concert pianist she performed alongside conductors such as Ernest Ansermet and George Szell.

Bosmans didn’t follow her mother's Jewish faith. Nevertheless, her ancestry played a significant role in the events of her life. She lived through the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, when tens of thousands of Amsterdam Jews were deported to concentration camps, including her fellow citizen, Anne Frank. This week, Donald Macleod is joined by Bosmans expert Dr Helen Metzelaar and also Dr Laurien Vastenhout from Amsterdam’s Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide.

Towards the beginning of World War Two, Henriëtte Bosmans found herself in great demand as a performer. The turbulence in Europe meant that other pianists, such as Myra Hess, were cancelling their planned visits to Holland. Following the German invasion of the Netherlands in May 1940, Bosmans considered leaving for the USA but decided she couldn’t abandon her now elderly mother. By 1942, Bosmans’s music had been banned by the Dutch National Broadcasting Organisation and there was also an injunction which forbade her from performing. With little income and now relying on friends for food, Bosmans took to performing in illegal concerts; on at least one occasion, she was nearly caught and arrested. A further blow came when her mother Sara was arrested and sent to a transit camp awaiting deportation.

Harpist Emmanuel Ceysson and Friends

Award-winning French harpist Emmanuel Ceysson and friends present masterworks for the harp by Ravel and Debussy, alongside lesser-known music by their contemporaries.

The two works by Ravel and Debussy in this programme were commissioned by harp maker rivals Maison Erard and Pleyel et Cie, to show off their latest models of the instrument. Ravel created a concerto in miniature for the harp that's lavish in style while Debussy opted to explore 'gravity' and 'grace' in his two dances. Alongside these, a Sonatine by innovative harpist and composer Marcel Tournier and music by Andre Caplet a friend of Debussy who was inspired by the stories of Edgar Allan Poe.

Ravel: Introduction & Allegro
Tournier: Sonatine Op 30
Debussy: Danse Sacree et Danse Profane
Caplet: Conte Fantastique ‘Le Masque de la Mort Rouge’

Philharmonia Orchestra
Santtu-Matias Rouvali, conductor

International Chopin Piano Competition-winner Seong-Jin Cho is one of the world’s most exciting young pianists, praised for his ‘remarkable technique’ and the elegance of his interpretations. Who better to perform Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 – a heady combination of brilliance and poetry, its slow movement a vision of ‘a beloved landscape on a moonlit spring night’. Could that landscape perhaps be Italian? Italy’s warmth and summer sunshine suffuse both Elgar’s bucolic In the South overture and Strauss’s tone-poem Aus Italien, each inspired by a visit to the country. The Philharmonia Orchestra is led by its Finnish-born Principal Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali.


WED 22:15 Sunday Feature (m00147jr)
A Chinese Odyssey: Artists, Poets and Exiles in Interwar London

Paul French explores a unique moment in British-Chinese solidarity between 1937 and 1945 when a small group of Chinese artists and intellectuals forged a unique bond between Britain and China through their work and presence. Paul French recovers the story.

On the first night of the Blitz, a bomb destroyed the Hampstead home of the best-selling Chinese artist and author, Chiang Yee. That night began the scattering of what had been an incredibly productive, influential and vibrant circle of Chinese émigré poets, journalists, playwrights, translators and artists who had gathered in London NW3.

Chiang Yee, Hsiung Shih-I, Dymia Hsiung and Hsiao Chien had found a new, seemingly temporary home in London as they sough to raise awareness of the struggles for freedom in China as it was torn apart by the Sino-Japanese war in 1937. Both in love with Britain, despite its Empire racism, and in turn popular and well known on the British cultural scene crafting popular travel guides to the British terrain, a best-selling West End play, Lady Precious Stream, and broadcasting frequently to Britain and the Empire about China's fate and freedom as the rest of the world hurtled towards war.

Despite their influence and impact at the time, their historical presence has been almost totally overlooked. Paul French retells this unique odyssey, a moment of war-born internationalism that placed such a creative group of exiles at the heart of empire.

She lived through the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, when tens of thousands of Amsterdam Jews were deported to concentration camps, including her fellow citizen, Anne Frank. This week, Donald Macleod is joined by Bosmans expert Dr Helen Metzelaar and also Dr Laurien Vastenhout from Amsterdam’s Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide.

Once the Second World War had ended, Henriëtte Bosmans and her mother, Sara, emerged exhausted and malnourished but alive. Bosmans soon started to compose again, and found particular inspiration in writing for the voice. In 1946 she witnessed young British composer, Benjamin Britten, perform with Peter Pears and was immediately struck by their artistry. Bosmans began corresponding with Britten and championing his music. She adopted a rather motherly role towards him, sending him presents of chocolate and eggs.

Prom 43: György Kurtág’s Endgame

Live at the BBC Proms: BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Ryan Wigglesworth with a cast of soloists: Frode Olsen, Morgan Moody, Hilary Summers and Leonardo Cortellazzi.

Presented by Tom Service, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

‘Beckett has been waiting for Kurtág all this time,’ wrote The New Yorker after the triumphant La Scala premiere of György Kurtág’s Endgame (Fin de partie) in 2018. Subsequently named one of the greatest operas of the century by The Guardian, Kurtág’s ‘unforgettable’ adaption of Samuel Beckett’s absurdist play has its highly anticipated UK premiere. The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra is led by its Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth.


THU 22:00 Sunday Feature (m0010nx8)
Malcolm Arnold, the Tortured Composer

Sir Malcolm Arnold has given joy and pleasure to millions of people all over the world through his music. His screen credits alone numbered far over one hundred, including iconic films such as The Belles of St. Trinian’s, Whistle Down the Wind, Hobson’s Choice, The Sound Barrier, The Inn of the Sixth Happiness and - earning Arnold an Oscar - The Bridge on the River Kwai. Then there are his frequently performed works for the concert hall, including The Padstow Lifeboat, the Scottish, English and Cornish Dances, the Guitar Concerto, and the list goes on. Yet the nine symphonies of Malcolm Arnold have had a very different reception over the years. Simon Heffer champions Arnold as one of the greatest British symphonic composers, and explores why these works are not better known.

Arnold’s professional career started as a trumpeter for a number of leading London orchestras. It was here that he honed his knowledge and craft of orchestration. Interviewed for this feature are musicians who worked with Arnold later in his career, including composer Joseph Horovitz, cellist Julian Lloyd Webber and conductor Andrew Penny. All can hear different influences in Arnold’s music, but they all agree that Arnold also had his own very distinctive voice. So why have Arnold’s symphonies been largely neglected? One view is that when Arnold was writing, there was a certain snobbery within the music industry that composers should either write film music or works for the concert hall, but not both. Heffer questions whether this could be one reason for the neglect of Arnold’s symphonies. Another possible reason is Arnold’s innate sense of fun, such as taking part in the Hoffnung Festival. Could this side of his character - to entertain - also be a cause for his more serious works not being taken seriously?

As Simon Heffer delves further, another far more personal theme emerged. Could Malcolm Arnold’s own mental health problems have had something to do with how his symphonic works were received? His symphonies span the trajectory of Arnold’s own life through two divorces, alcoholism, to Arnold being hospitalised and ending up in care. Arnold had a reputation for being jovial, the life and soul of the party, but also for being difficult and rude. Heffer discusses this more personal side of Arnold with his eldest child, Katherine Arnold, who also helps us to explore the biographical nature of these symphonic works. With the assistance of psychiatrist Professor Veronica O’Keane, she gives us her opinions on Arnold the man, and how this may have impacted upon his perception by others.

One advocate for the Fifth Symphony is the conductor Sakari Oramo, who in 2021 gave the BBC Proms debut of this work. Oramo feels that this specific symphony is Arnold’s masterpiece, as does Simon Heffer, who throughout this programme reinforces the importance of Arnold as one of Britain’s greatest composers of symphonies.

THU 22:45 The Essay (m000nmxh)
Africa in the City

Fort-de-France

Writer and broadcaster Lindsay Johns continues his tour of great cities influenced by their relationship with Africa in Fort-de-France, the capital of the Caribbean island of Martinique.

On an island where, as he puts it, Gallic efficiency and Cartesian rigour rub shoulders with local Creole flavour, all in the enervating tropical heat, Lindsay examines the question of identity. Fort-de-France, says Lindsay, looks to Paris for her modus vivendi and to Africa for her raison d’être. So was the decision of Martinique’s most famous son - the poet, playwright, polymath, founder of the Negritude literary movement, politician and former Mayor of Fort-de-France, Aimé Césaire - to stave off independence and remain part of France, the right one? On his walk around the city Lindsay encounters French waiters, BMW-driving witch doctors, and a decapitated lady, as he considers this question.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (m0014y4l)
Henriëtte Bosmans (1895-1952)

Muse

Donald Macleod looks at Bosmans’s final years, including her fiery relationship with singer Noëmie Perugia.

Henriëtte Bosmans seemed destined for a life in music from the moment of her birth, in 1895. Her father was the principal solo cellist in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra and her mother a piano teacher at the Amsterdam Conservatory. Bosmans developed a flourishing career and won international success with her Concert Piece for Violin and Orchestra. As a concert pianist she performed alongside conductors such as Ernest Ansermet and George Szell.

Bosmans didn’t follow her mother's Jewish faith. Nevertheless, her ancestry played a significant role in the events of her life. She lived through the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, when tens of thousands of Amsterdam Jews were deported to concentration camps, including her fellow citizen, Anne Frank. This week, Donald Macleod is joined by Bosmans expert Dr Helen Metzelaar and also Dr Laurien Vastenhout from Amsterdam’s Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide.

Henriëtte Bosmans was greatly inspired observing the powerful connection between composer, Benjamin Britten and tenor, Peter Pears, and she sought out her own vocal muse. Her heart was captured by the singing of Noëmie Perugia and the two began to perform together. The relationship was far from harmonious, though, and there were frequent arguments between the two. Perugia refused to sing in Dutch, and often refused to sing songs Bosmans composed in other languages, too. For Bosmans’s part, she would deliberately set texts she knew would irritate Perugia. Their relationship only lasted a few years before Bosmans started to suffer from stomach pains. She died of stomach cancer in 1952.

FRI 22:00 Sunday Feature (m000p6d4)
The Silence of My Pain

Radio 3 presenter Hannah French reveals some of the problems she has encountered as a musician living with one of those often 'hidden' disabilities - chronic pain.

For 15 years, Hannah has lived with constant pain in her leg, stemming from a genetic condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. It’s an ever-present feature of her life, but despite talking about music on the radio, she shies away from using it to help manage the pain. Could this all change? Art has the ability to conjure the agonies (and ecstasies) of pain, but it’s hugely subjective - and how powerful or helpful is music in relating shared experiences? She talks to fellow Radio 3 presenter Fiona Talkington about musical language, and to violinist Nicola Benedetti about the importance of listening to our bodies. Theatre Director Rachel Bagshaw leads Hannah into a world in which she’s channelled pain into a creative space, and neuropathologist turned musician Malcolm Galloway tells her about how being on stage is, for him, the best medicine. Finally, Goldsmiths' Professor Joydeep Bhattacharya helps Hannah to explore the medical science behind the phenomenon of ‘Flow’ – explaining how she once suppressed painful sensations long enough to perform as a flautist.


FRI 22:45 The Essay (m000nmw4)
Africa in the City

Cape Town

Writer and broadcaster Lindsay Johns ends his series of essays on cities influenced by African migration in Cape Town.

Making his way around a city he knows intimately, respects abundantly and loves profusely, Lindsay asks what it means to be Capetonian. From the city's tragic racial history and its legacy, to the wave of migration from elsewhere in Africa, this is a place whose identity is constantly shifting. And as he concludes his series of essays, Lindsay ponders his own ambivalent feelings towards this demographic, political, social, spiritual change.

FRI 23:00 Late Junction (m001lkmz)
Joan La Barbara and Ruth Goller in session

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents the latest Late Junction long-distance collaboration session between American vocal pioneer Joan La Barbara and London-based bassist Ruth Goller.

Joan La Barbara’s career as a performer, composer and sound artist explores the human voice as a near limitless instrument. Over the past 50 years, La Barbara has developed a unique vocabulary of experimental and extended vocal techniques: multiphonics, circular singing, ululation and glottal clicks have all become part of her signature sound, opening up new possibilities for subsequent generations of composers and singers. She has performed and recorded works by composers including John Cage, Morton Feldman and Philip Glass, and is widely regarded as a virtuoso in her field.

Ruth Goller is a London-based bassist, vocalist and composer who has received admiration for her “thunderous bass-guitar hooks”. Goller helped lay the foundation for the UK’s jazz renaissance, recording with artists such as Shabaka Hutchings and Kit Downes, and performing on stage with Acoustic Ladyland, Melt Yourself Down, Let Spin and Vula Viel. Growing up in the border region between Italy and Austria, she has always been fascinated by the differences and similarities in spoken language, with her ear for words influencing her approach to music, or as she puts it: “Music is a language and I always want to learn as much as I can about it”.

Elsewhere in the show we hear music used to accompany religious ceremonies, including a sacred Melkite chant from Lebanon's Sister Marie Keyrouz plus a recording from a Balinese temple of the Gamelan Selonding Ensemble; and there’s a future-looking interpretation of Tuareg guitar music from Nigerien musician Moussa Tchingou sent directly to Jen over WhatsApp.
