 Revellers enjoy the explosion
of dance music BBC Radio 2's Dance Music Season continues with Explosion – 1988-1993, the second part of The Definitive History Of UK Dance Music.
Presenter Zoe Ball examines the impact of the first seminal clubs – Shoom, Future, The Trip and Land Of Oz – and looks at the media furore surrounding this new scene.
In Manchester, The Hacienda was becoming the cultural epicentre for this revolution, and the programme hears from the major players, constructing a picture of how that region's musical identity informed the development of the scene.
Primal Scream's Screamadelica and albums by Björk, The Stone Roses and The Happy Mondays began wearing their dance music influences on their sleeves, and this music was fast becoming the pre-eminent form of youth culture.
The programme looks at the subtle but important regional differences in sound – piano house, for example, was much bigger in the north than in the south, and there was a "Yorkshire sound" emerging, based around Leeds and Sheffield. But despite these divergences, the same spirit was to be found in the clubs of Glasgow, Stoke, Cardiff, London or Bristol. This was a revolution of the mind as well as a milestone in the history of UK youth culture.

Music Feature – Debussy's
Summer Of 1912
Saturday 28 June
12.15-1.00pm BBC RADIO 3
|
|
At the end of the hot summer of 1912, Chouchou, Debussy's seven-year-old daughter, complained that she hadn't been taken to the seaside. This was a deprivation for her father as well, but that summer Debussy was working flat out.
His most demanding task was completing a commission from Diaghilev, the ballet Jeux, but he was also working on his second book of preludes, the orchestration of Gigues, and the opera The Fall Of The House Of Usher, and enduring a pained correspondence with dancer Maud Allan, who wanted him to extend the score of the ballet Khamma. "Thus I wrote it, thus it will remain."
Talking to presenter and musician Lowri Blake about those industrious months are music writer and pianist Roy Howat, author Robert Orledge, and pianists Peter Hill and Alasdair Beatson, with a postscript from the conductor who has championed Jeux, Pierre Boulez.
Debussy first encountered the Rite Of Spring in June 1912 when Stravinsky turned up clutching a draft of the score for piano duet. Debussy played the secondo part, and wrote to Stravinsky that the experience "haunts me like a beautiful nightmare." Ironically, Debussy's Jeux, now considered his final orchestral masterpiece, was totally eclipsed by the scandalous première of Stravinsky's Rite in May 1913.
Pianist Peter Hill discusses the challenges still faced by pianists attempting the piano duet version, while Roy Howat, with his detective hat on, finds a musical quote from The Rite in Debussy's prelude Les Tierces Alternees.
The music in the programme will include excerpts from Jeux, the piano duet version of The Rite Of Spring, preludes, and the orchestration by Charles Koechlin of Khamma, which Robert Orledge considers a masterwork, and which Debussy never heard.

Lucy Duran presents an all-Brazilian edition of World Routes and is joined by Brazilian singer and guitarist Vinicius Cantuaria.
Vinicius will be performing four tracks, as well as talking to Lucy. Cantuaria's music is grounded in the bossa nova and samba of his homeland (he was born in Manaus, Amazonas and grew up in Rio) but since the mid-Nineties he has lived in New York, something which he says lets him "be more Brazilian", and which has given him access to the jazz, electronic and rock influences that colour his music and make it unique.
Lucy is also joined by world music journalists Sue Steward and Robin Denselow to discuss recent Brazilian CD releases.

 Rolando Villazón takes the title
role with Marina Poplavskaya
as Elisabeth in Verdi's Don Carlo Verdi's Don Carlo is one of those operas that demands the very best that an opera house can provide. The settings range from a forest to a square in front of a cathedral where a public burning of heretics takes place. There is an important role for the chorus and the orchestral sound is full of colour. Among a large cast, there are six very special roles.
Carlo himself is a far-from-conventional role for tenor and the Royal Opera House cast no less a singer than star Mexican Rolando Villazón. The part of Carlo's great friend Rodrigo is sung by leading British baritone Simon Keenlyside. Then there are the basses. It is unusual for an opera to contain two leading roles for bass voice but both King Philip II and the all-powerful Grand Inquisitor demand big dark voices. Ferrucio Furlanetto and Eric Halfvarson are among the leading interpreters of their roles in the world at present. The principal female roles of Elisabeth of Valois and Princess Eboli are taken by rising star Marina Poplavskaya (a graduate of the Royal Opera House's Young Artists Scheme) and Italian mezzo-soprano Sonia Ganassi, who has already thrilled Covent Garden audiences in her native repertoire.
Great productions also need a top director and conductor. In a handshake across the Thames the National Theatre's Nicholas Hytner (who has directed the Schiller play from which Verdi took his inspiration) collaborates with the Royal Opera's Music Director Antonio Pappano in one of the most celebrated productions of the season.

What's
So Great About... Bob Dylan? Ep 1/3

 Comedian Lenny Henry In the first of a new three-part
series Lenny Henry asks What's So Great About... Bob Dylan?
For many Bob Dylan is the icon of the Sixties, the voice and poet of rebellion and the heir to Woody Guthrie. But Lenny just does not "get" Dylan and sets out to speak to Dylan fans in a bid to understand exactly why he is so revered.
Lenny speaks to Poet Laureate Andrew Motion who describes Dylan, much to Lenny's evident amazement, as the greatest living artist in any medium. Others arguing the case for Dylan include Al Kooper, Dylan's organist; Jools Holland; Bryan Ferry; singer, songwriter and producer Chris Difford; writer Paul Morley; and singer Adele.
Other matters coming under Lenny's scrutiny are method acting and life coaches.

Edinburgh cop John Rebus returns in a new two-part dramatisation of Black And Blue.
As Rebus investigates the violent death of a North Sea oil worker in Edinburgh he uncovers possible motives ranging from gangland infighting over drugs to eco protests against oil exploration. But as Rebus's inquiries take him from Edinburgh to Glasgow and then on to Aberdeen he finds his investigation overlapping with a major hunt for a serial killer who has struck in all three Scottish cities.
The serial killer appears to copy the murder pattern of Bible John – who killed three women in Glasgow in the late Sixties. Bible John was never caught, and his notoriety fascinated and terrified much of Scotland at the time. The real Bible John, now apparently living quietly as a businessman, takes an interest in his unwanted imitator – and decides to track him down.
Black And Blue is dramatised by Chris Dolan and features Ron Donachie as John Rebus. Other members of the cast include Iain Robertson, Simon Tait, Gayanne Potter, John Kazek, Juliet Cadzow, Irene Allan, Natalie Bennett, Mark McDonnell, Simon Donaldson, Laurie Ventry and Stevie Hannan.

Every day, for six months, BBC Radio 4 recreates 1968 in sound – drawing on the BBC and other vivid news archive and the music of the time. These daily programmes, presented by Sir John Tusa, retrace the year's major political, cultural and social events as they happened. But they also evoke the everyday stories that made the headlines or raised a smile.
In this week in 1968 the main stories include red rain failing over much of Britain; more strikes in Wales and at the Ford car factory; Lester Piggott winning the Derby; and missing round-the-world yachtsman Alec Rose returning to radio contact.
This series is part of Radio 4's 1968 – Myth Or Reality? season, marking the 40th anniversary of a remarkable year which saw extraordinary upheavals worldwide.
Please note: A weekly omnibus edition of Day-By-Day is broadcast on Sunday evenings.

For many the radio documentary-feature is the Rolls-Royce of the medium and this week's Archive Hour features producers and broadcasters who share their views on the evolution of the documentary-feature.
The documentary-feature is a hybrid form – part journalistic, part dramatic – taking a real-life story and treating it with the tools of fiction to present a truth that reaches beyond the appearance of things. For some it is closer to music or poetry than to news reporting.
Contributors include radio producer Chris Brookes from Newfoundland; Berit Hedemann; Paris-based Kaye Mortley; Robyn Ravlich; and Flemish broadcaster Edwin Brys. From the UK, Archive Hour hears from Simon Elmes, the Creative Director of the BBC's own Docs & Features Department; Mark Berman, who won many national and international radio prizes last year; Sarah Taylor, whose programmes have received numerous awards; and Piers Plowright, considered to be the godfather of the British feature.
