SAT 01:00 Ultimate Calm (m001f5sw)
Ólafur Arnalds: Series 1

Calming cinematic soundtracks feat. Isobel Waller-Bridge

Escape with Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds for another hour-long musical journey into calmness.

In this week’s episode, Ólafur flicks through his film collection to share some of his favourite scores and soundtracks that totally transport their audiences, painting pictures through sound. There’ll be the sounds of deep-sea diving, wanders through the wilderness and even the most peaceful-sounding alien invasion from composers like Jóhann Jóhannsson, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Galya Bisengalieva.

Plus the British composer Isobel Waller-Bridge invites us to join her in her safe haven, the place she feels most calm, listening to the birds and the wind through the trees on Hampstead Heath in London.

Undaunted, Katy Hamilton has found her favourite recording...

11.20 am
Record of the Week: Andrew’s top pick.

SAT 11:45 Music Matters (m001s5gt)
Bertrand Chamayou; Michael Barenboim

As his new album Letter(s) to Erik Satie is set to be released, the French pianist Bertrand Chamayou talks to presenter Tom Service about the connections he sees between the visionary composers it features, including John Cage, James Tenney and Erik Satie, and how the project took him to places he’d never been before. He tells Tom how collaborating with the soprano Barbara Hannigan opened the door for this Satie project, about the unpredictability of the recording process, and how he’d like classical music performance to become more like visual art.

Tom travels to Bristol’s The Galleries shopping centre, home of Bristol’s Eye Hospital Assessment centre, to visit a new installation featuring the testimony of 100 voices from across 12 NHS hospitals - including doctors, porters, nurses, consultants, and patients - which have been curated into an hour-long immersive experience. Providing a therapeutic space for contributors to express themselves, and an opportunity for audiences to contemplate the lived experience of hospital communities, Tom learns how the project’s composer, Hannah Conway, and librettist, Hazel Gould, created four arias around common themes they encountered, and hears how they’ve become creatively projected into a bespoke structure that will tour Bristol, London, Preston and Addenbrooke over the coming weeks. With contributions, too, from Manager at NHS Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, Dipa Dave, and Head of Arts at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Natalie Ellis.

Also today, as the West-Eastern Divan Ensemble prepares to perform a concert including Mendelssohn, Beethoven and Carter at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London this weekend, the violinist Michael Barenboim tells Music Matters how, despite the situation in the Middle-East, the collaborative principles behind his father’s and Edward Said’s orchestra – which seek to bring together Arab, Palestinian and Israeli musicians – are more important than ever.

And the composer Jack van Zandt - author of a new book, Alexander Goehr, Composing a Life - speaks to Tom about the ongoing teacher-pupil relationship he’s developed under the tutelage of Alexander - Sandy - Goehr, and how Olivier Messiaen, Pierre Boulez, and among others, Richard Hall, have in turn provided tuition and inspiration across Sandy’s musical life.


SAT 12:30 This Classical Life (m001s5h7)
Jess Gillam with... Cécile McLorin Salvant

Jess Gillam meets jazz singer Cécile McLorin Salvant to swap some of their favourite music.
Cécile is a 3 time Grammy Award-winning jazz singer and her music shows off her passion for storytelling and finding the connections between vaudeville, blues, jazz, baroque and folkloric music. She spoke to Jess ahead of her show at London Jazz Festival 2023 and picked some of her favourite voices from Maria Callas singing Puccini to flamenco star Camarón de la Isla and an air de cour by Gabriel Bataille.

Jess brought along a string quartet by Caroline Shaw, a Hollywood inflected Concerto by Korngold and the most beautiful of songs by Aretha Franklin

SAT 13:00 Inside Music (m001jlbr)
Pianist and composer Bill Laurance with inspiring improvisation and amazing arrangements

Bill Laurance is a pianist, composer and original member of the fusion band Snarky Puppy. His choices in this programme draw on his classical and jazz roots, including a Duke Ellington arrangement that Bill believes is an excellent blend of those two genres.

Bill shares a song whose harmony prevents it from sounding too sweet, a piece by Ravel that elegantly captures the fluidity of water, and a choir who are rhythmically free yet perfectly together.

Plus, he goes back to his university days to revisit his experiences conducting Ernest Moeran’s Sinfonietta…

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

Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro

A philandering count, determined to exercise his droit de seigneur with his wily valet's bride-to-be on her wedding day.... a humiliated countess bent on revenge... and a sex-obsessed cross-dressed, cross-dressing teenager...

Subversive and funny, poignant and thought-provoking, Mozart's comedy is one of the greatest operas of all time, packed full of unforgettable tunes, telling characterisation, and trenchant observation both of society's iniquities and the human condition.

Kate Molleson introduces an acclaimed performance recorded at this year's Salzburg Festival, and she talks to Martin Nedbal from the University of Kansas about Figaro's origins and the ever-changing reactions to the opera in different countries at different times.

Sarah also shares a poignant choral setting of Vera Brittain’s poetry, and a movement from a Vaughan Williams symphony that seems to pause time.

Plus, a sprightly wind quintet from a multi-talented Swiss composer, artist and journalist…

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (m001s5qv)
Mali Morris

The abstract painter Mali Morris is fascinated by colour and light, and has been exploring their possibilities in her work for more than 50 years.

She was born in Wales and studied at the University of Newcastle, where the Pop Art pioneer Richard Hamilton was one of her teachers. He brought her and fellow students news of New York which she says “seemed as far away to me as the moon”.

Mali herself taught at a number of art schools including Chelsea, the Slade School and the Royal College of Art. She was elected a Royal Academician in 2010, and last year, flags made from her work hung above Bond Street, not far from the Academy, in a riot of joyous colour.

She currently has a major exhibition at the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham.

Her musical choices include Bach, Beethoven, Vivaldi and some blues singing and whistling by Professor Longhair.

SUN 17:00 The Listening Service (m0013zy2)
Recorders

For many years, the humble, plastic and mass-produced recorder has been a mainstay of music education. The first instrument put into the hands of thousands of 20th-century primary school children across the world, creating lifelong musical memories, some good, some bad. That’s all now under threat from a small, stringed imposter: the ukulele. A recent survey of children who play a musical instrument found that the proportion playing the recorder has collapsed from 52% in 1997 to just 15% in 2020. Ukelele playing since 2014 is up by 15%.

Recorders appear in paintings as early as the 15th century and have long been associated with angels and amateurs as well as children. Henry VIII was a big fan – ‘exercising himselfe dailie in … plaieing at the recorders’; and on hearing one in 1668 Samuel Pepys said it was ‘so sweet that it ravished me ; and indeed, in a word, did wrap up my soul so that it made me really sick, just as I have formerly been when in love with my wife’. He bought himself one six weeks later. An understated presence in the history of classical music nevertheless, the recorder has been utilised by composers from Henry Purcell and Handel, to Paul Hindemith and Luciano Berio.

So, what next for the recorder, and can it survive all those ukuleles? Tom Service investigates…

SUN 17:30 Words and Music (m00013y6)
Women Writing War

From WWI to Afghanistan, testimony from wives, mothers and women journalists read by Carolyn Pickles and Lara Rossi is set alongside music by Martinů, Messiaen, Max Richter, Clare Connors and Miles Davis.

We begin with Joan Tower’s Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman before our collaboration with the Big Ideas Project, Motherhood Loss and the First World War, brings letters from the mothers of soldiers in the First World War. Their words are heard with commissioned music by Clare Connors. Helen Thomas, the young wife of the poet Edward Thomas remembers their last night together before he returned to the Front, heard with George Butterworth’s The Bank of Green Willow: both Thomas and Butterworth did not return from the war. The great American journalist Martha Gellhorn’s report on the devastation in Madrid is set alongside Samuel Barber’s A Stopwatch and an Ordnance Map, inspired by the death of a soldier in the Spanish Civil War. Much closer in time is the war in Afghanistan. The music of Miles Davis is heard as the American Iraq veteran and poet Chantelle Bateman remembers her post-traumatic stress on returning from the conflict. And the poets Bryony Doran and Isabel Palmer tell of their experiences of being the mothers of young soldiers in Afghanistan. Women Writing War ends with May Wedderburn Cannan’s July 1919 and her final lines, ‘Never for us is folded War away, Dawn or sun setting, Now in our hearts abides always our war’ are heard with Elgar’s Carissima.

Producer: Fiona McLean

The annual episode made in partnership with the Imperial War Museum of Radio 3's Arts & Ideas programme Free Thinking is available now on BBC Sounds. It looks at the gallery's art collection. And on the Free Thinking programme website you can find a series of episodes exploring different aspects of war.

SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature (m001s5r9)
Afterwords - Richard Hoggart

The life and ideas of literary critic and cultural theorist Richard Hoggart, in his own words from the archive and in the words of those knew, loved and were inspired by him.

Best known for his ground-breaking study of working class culture, The Uses of Literacy, published in 1957, Richard Hoggart was a 'scholarship boy' from the back streets of Leeds who became a prime mover in the foundation of cultural studies, a public intellectural and Reith lecturer, Assistant Director-General of UNESCO and a key witness in the Lady Chatterley trial of 1960.

With archive from his many television and radio appearances, Hoggart's prophetic thinking and pertinence today are reflected upon by the author and cultural critic Nathalie Olah, novelist and biographer DJ Taylor, sociologist and writer Dan Evans, the writer Lynsey Hanley and his son, the journalist Paul Hoggart. (Including an extract from an early episode of Granada Television's Coronation Street.)

A Falling Tree production for BBC Radio Three.

In this series, Kirill takes us on a journey which starts in Ukraine and heads eastwards, exploring traditions, influences and connections to reveal the musical heart of this region. This first episode includes music by Sergey Prokofiev, whose pieces are infused with Ukrainian folk songs; Borys Lyatoshynsky, a member of the Ukrainian cultural renaissance in the 20th century; Ivan Karabits (Kirill’s father); living composers Valentyn Silvestrov and Anna Korsun; the Monks of Kyiv Pechersk Monastery; and traditional music from the Ukrainian National Choir.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001s64k)
John and Alice Coltrane

Stepping Up

Kate Molleson and Kevin Le Gendre discuss the turning points in John Coltrane’s early career.

Coltrane is a name you’re likely to have heard, even if you know little to nothing about jazz. More than half a century after his death, saxophonist and composer John Coltrane is hailed as a giant of American cultural history, and one of 20th-century music’s greatest visionaries. But he’s not the only Coltrane. His wife, Alice, was an accomplished keyboardist and harpist who made revolutionary music in her own right, and whose contribution to John’s late output has not always been fully recognised. As soulmates and fellow seekers in sound, John and Alice both transcended cultural and genre boundaries, helping to pioneer avant-garde and spiritual jazz. But following John’s premature death in 1967, Alice began her solo career and would take forward their journey of creative and religious expansion. All this week, Kate Molleson is joined by journalist and broadcaster Kevin Le Gendre to dive into the lives and music of these monumental figures, and explore their contributions to the jazz world and beyond.

Today, Kate and Kevin explore the first stages in John’s career - and the little steps that lead him towards his early triumph, Giant Steps. Along the way, he’s offered a golden opportunity, to play with Miles Davis. But will he make the most of it?

Julia Fischer Quartet

The distinguished violinist Julia Fischer founded a quartet with three other leading string players in 2011. This recital consists of two staples of the repertoire: Mozart’s String Quartet in C Major, K 465, known as the 'Dissonance Quartet' due to its strange and unusually dissonant opening; and the second of Janáček’s two quartets, 'Intimate Letters', referring to a correspondence between the composer and his unattainable beloved Kamila Stösslová.

Live from Wigmore Hall, London
Presented by Hannah French

MON 19:30 Radio 3 in Concert (m001s65q)
Alicia de Larrocha plays Mozart and Granados at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw in 1984

Mozart and Granados from the legendary pianist Alicia de Larrocha in Amsterdam in 1984 and Francisco Guerrero's Mass for the Dead from Barcelona's medieval Cathedral.

Born in Barcelona a hundred years ago this year, Alicia de Larrocha enjoyed a remarkable seventy five year career during which she was adored for her performances of a huge range of music. But it was for her peerless interpretations of the music of Spain above all that she was most widely admired. As one critic put it: "She had a way of idiomatically shaping a musical phrase that cannot be taught...It’s hard to imagine the piano being played better than it is in her Epic recording of Goyescas." Tonight's performance of Granados's Goyescas comes from a concert Alicia de Larrocha gave in 1984 at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and certainly brought the house down. And before it come two works by Mozart that reveal her deeply personal affection for the composer.

And after that, in tonight's double-bill, the Cererols Choir from Catalonia sing Guerrero's Missa pro defunctis (Requiem) along with motets by two of his Spanish Golden Age contemporaries at Barcelona's Gothic Basílica de Sant Just i Sant Pastor. Although he spent most of his life as choirmaster of Seville cathedral, Francisco Guerrero became the best known Spanish composer of the second half of the sixteenth century and his influence stretched as far as Portugal and the New World. His fifty minute Requiem of 1582 promises to be particularly moving when heard in the spacious acoustics of Barcelona's Gothic cathedral.

Presented by Fiona Talkington.

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001s5sn)
John and Alice Coltrane

Trial and Error

Kate Molleson and Kevin Le Gendre follow John Coltrane’s continuing quest for the perfect sound.

Coltrane is a name you’re likely to have heard, even if you know little to nothing about jazz. More than half a century after his death, saxophonist and composer John Coltrane is hailed as a giant of American cultural history, and one of 20th-century music’s greatest visionaries. But he’s not the only Coltrane. His wife, Alice, was an accomplished keyboardist and harpist who made revolutionary music in her own right, and whose contribution to John’s late output has not always been fully recognised. As soulmates and fellow seekers in sound, John and Alice both transcended cultural and genre boundaries, helping to pioneer avant-garde and spiritual jazz. But following John’s premature death in 1967, Alice began her solo career and would take forward their journey of creative and religious expansion. All this week, Kate Molleson is joined by journalist and broadcaster Kevin Le Gendre to dive into the lives and music of these monumental figures, and explore their contributions to the jazz world and beyond.

Today, John finds overnight success with his take on My Favorite Things. But fame and money aren’t enough – they don’t complete his quest for the perfect band, and the perfect sound...

Rodgers/Hart: It’s Easy to Remember (from Ballads)

Rhythm of the Run

Radio-maker and runner Ricardo Burt hits the London streets to explore the rise of DJ run crews across the capital. In the South East, in Peckham, he meets up with Tempo LDN. Founded by DJ Martha, the collective’s running sessions are sound-tracked by a curated playlist of beats and led from the front by women; and in the north of the city, he joins Run Dem Crew, whose founder DJ Charlie Dark MBE speaks of opening up the sport to new audiences: “What do I need to swap, change, embellish…? My approach to running is through the eyes of a music producer and a remixer.”

Why do we run? And what might it mean to join together to navigate the city in this way? The runners in the crews - Ricardo included - all turn up with their own motivations and meanings. This personal radio essay borrows from the sound world of DJ-ing as scenes from the warm-up routines and the words of Ricardo’s interviewees are cut up and sampled, rhythm and reason become one.

With thanks to Martha and Tempo LDN, Charlie Dark MBE and Run Dem Crew.

Mozart Concertos at Wigmore Hall

Violinist Alina Ibragimova and fortepianist Kristian Bezuidenhout, musicians internationally renowned for bringing an invigorating dynamism to historically informed performance, join forces with the Basel Chamber Orchestra for two Mozart concertos.

Written when he was 21 years old the Piano Concerto No. 9 in E flat K. 271 is the earliest of Mozart's keyboard concertos to show the innovation and musical depths of expression of his later concertos. From a couple of years earlier, the Violin Concerto No. 5 in A K. 219 likewise shows originality, playfulness and innovation, as when the solo violin's very first entry seems suddenly suspended in time, or when 'Turkish' music appears out of nowhere in the midst of a graceful minuet. One of Haydn's most dramatic symphonies and a world premiere from Basel-based Jannik Giger complete the programme.

Recorded on Saturday at Wigmore Hall and introduced by Ian Skelly.

Haydn: Symphony No. 52 in C minor

An Turas / The Journey

Five celebrated writers from around Scotland sit at their nearest window and share, in their own language or dialect, what they can see and how it makes them feel about their homeland.

This immersive audio collage takes us on a tour of modern Scotland's plurality of languages, dialects and cultures.

Niall Campbell of Hebridean South Uist lets his eyes scan the waters of his island, and his mind wander beneath the waves. He considers, in English, the Norse influence in the naming of his surroundings.

At a window in Glasgow's southside, Rahat Zahid describes, in Urdu, the myriad people and architecture that make up the multicultural community she is so grateful for.

It’s raining where Len Pennie is, in Fife. As the water trickles down her window, she considers, in Scots, the view outside and the relationship she forged with it while studying.

Peter MacKay, in his native Gaelic, looks out over an Edinburgh cityscape, and asks what changes prominent historical figures brought about, and how they’ve left their mark on the capital today.

In the Doric dialect of north east Scotland, Mae Diansangu shares a snapshot of life from her window overlooking Aberdeen, Scotland's 'granite city'.

THU 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001s60j)
John and Alice Coltrane

A New Journey

Kate Molleson and Kevin Le Gendre chart Alice Coltrane’s creative response to her grief.

Coltrane is a name that you’re likely to have heard, even if you know little to nothing about jazz. More than half a century after his death, saxophonist and composer John Coltrane is hailed as a giant of American cultural history, and one of 20th-century music’s greatest visionaries. But he’s not the only Coltrane. His wife, Alice, was an accomplished keyboardist and harpist who made revolutionary music in her own right, and whose contribution to John’s late output has not always been fully recognised. As soulmates and fellow seekers in sound, John and Alice both transcended cultural and genre boundaries, helping to pioneer avant-garde and spiritual jazz. But following John’s premature death in 1967, Alice began her solo career and would take forward their journey of creative and religious expansion. All this week, Kate Molleson is joined by journalist and broadcaster Kevin Le Gendre to dive into the lives and music of these monumental figures, and explore their contributions to the jazz world and beyond.

Today, Alice’s world is turned upside down when John dies at the age of 40. Kate and Kevin explore how she channelled her grief into a new musical chapter, and at the same time, found her spiritual awakening.

Strauss and Mahler

Impassioned orchestral music and soul-searching voices from City Halls in Glasgow, the home of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
Thoughts of death haunt all of Mahler’s compositions but, inspired by a volume of ancient Chinese poetry, his symphonic song-cycle Das Lied von der Erde sets a meditation of earthly beauty and existential angst amid some of the most imaginative and emotionally powerful music ever written.

And, before it, a piece written just a few years later as Europe cracked under the violent upheavals of the First World War. Richard Strauss’ twenty-minute distillation of his symbolist opera Die Frau ohne Schatten, which nevertheless bristles with exotic inventions and big-boned romanticism.

Matthew Sweet is joined by guests including the authors Una McCormack and Naomi Alderman. Naomi's latest novel The Future also imagines the creation of a new civilization.

THU 22:45 The Essay (m0015l5r)
Ways of Being

Kate Davis on Thomas Hardy

The poet Kate Davis explores the way Thomas Hardy's poem 'Afterwards' has influenced her way of being.

In this series, artists, writers and thinkers tell us about the ways they have been shaped by their ‘ways of being’, their individual bodies – what freedoms they allow, and their sensitivities or limits. They also explore how their work has been shaped and informed by the body, its freedoms and limits. And as many creative people have discovered - limits can lead to originality, and freedoms can offer ‘more of the same’.

Kate is the first of our essayists, who each let us into their particular 'way of being' via their relationship with a cultural touchstone (whether it’s a poem, a singer, a television series, or a story from the Bible). Each tells us about something that has enriched their own creativity, and brought them closer appreciating their own way of being. Kate contracted polio as a child and it has informed her relationship with the ground and with poetry.

Kate Davis
Kate's first poetry collection is 'The Girl Who Forgets How to Walk' - she has always lived in the Furness peninsula of south Cumbria.

Kate Molleson and Kevin Le Gendre look at Alice Coltrane’s musical and spiritual homecoming.

Coltrane is a name that you’re likely to have heard, even if you know very little about jazz. More than half a century after his death, saxophonist and composer John Coltrane is hailed as a giant of American cultural history, and one of 20th-century music’s greatest visionaries. But he’s not the only Coltrane. His wife, Alice, was an accomplished keyboardist and harpist who made revolutionary music in her own right, and whose contribution to John’s late output has not always been fully recognised.

All this week, Kate Molleson is joined by journalist and broadcaster Kevin Le Gendre to dive into the lives and music of these monumental figures, and explore their contributions to the jazz world and beyond.

Today, divine instruction reveals Alice’s new life purpose. Kate and Kevin discuss her retreat from the music profession, and the life she created for herself at Sai Anantam Ashram in California. In the privacy of her community, she made cassette recordings of original devotional music, which were almost lost to time. But now, a new generation of listeners are discovering the rich spectrum of her work.

FRI 19:30 Radio 3 in Concert (m001s94k)
Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring

Ryan Wigglesworth conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra in a concert ending with one of Igor Stravinsky’s most celebrated pieces. The Rite of Spring surely deserves that overused epithet of 'iconic' and over a century after its infamous Paris premiere, it still thrills audiences with the visceral power of its explosive rhythms and spectacular orchestral sonorities.

To begin, it’s back to the future with the elemental sound world of wind and percussion in Ștefan Niculescu’s 1975 Ison II.

In between, work by one of the most refreshing and boldest composers working in Britain today, and a Grand Old Man of New Music. Recorder virtuoso Erik Bosgraaf is the soloist Anna Meredith’s Origami Songs, a collection of miniatures which, like Japanese paper-folding, evokes the real world with sophisticated simplicity. Arvo Pärt is now famous for his particular brand of minimalism. But 60 years ago in music like his Perpetuum mobile, the 28-year-old composer was finding his voice via the serialist camp of the avant-garde.

Recorded last month at the Barbican Hall, London, and introduced by Martin Handley.

FRI 22:45 The Essay (m0015lhb)
Ways of Being

Tom Shakespeare on J.R.R. Tolkien

Tom Shakespeare explores the influence of J.R.R.Tolkien's characters on his way of being.

In this series, artists, writers and thinkers tell us about the ways they have been shaped by their ‘ways of being’, their individual bodies – what freedoms they allow, and their sensitivities or limits. They also explore how their work has been shaped and informed by the body, its freedoms and limits. As many creative people have discovered - limits can lead to originality, and freedoms can offer ‘more of the same’.

Tom is the fifth essayist to let us into their particular 'way of being' and into their relationship with a cultural touchstone. In this essay Tom considers the character of J.R.R. Tolkien's hobbits, and his experience of reading about them as a child with restricted growth - a child who adored books

The playlist includes an iteration of John Cage's famous chance operations, the sound of wind-strummed Aeolian harps and the algorithmic computer music of UK artist Mark Fell.
