Discovering Music – The Marriage Of Figaro
Sunday 13 July
5.00-6.30pm BBC RADIO 3
|
|
|
|
|
The Marriage Of Figaro is arguably one of the greatest operas ever written and one of the key ingredients to its success is the way in which Mozart depicts the multi-faceted nature of his various characters and shapes the structure of the drama.
Stephen Johnson is joined by an international cast of young singers from the Royal Academy Opera, fresh from the triumph of their recent production of the opera at London's Royal Academy of Music, and members of BBC National Orchestra of Wales, under Polish conductor Ewa Strusinska.
Discovering Music takes an illustrated look at the second act of Mozart's opera: an act which culminates in what is considered by many to be one of the most perfectly formed of all operatic finales.

The British Version Ep 3/3
Sunday 13 July
9.30-10.15pm BBC RADIO 3

Tristram Hunt examines the legacy of the father of economics, Adam Smith, exploring his theories of the free market and examining how they have shaped modern economic thought, to conclude the series exploring the origins of British intellectual traditions.
Smith's famous work, The Wealth Of Nations, developed theories of the free market. Hunt travels to the economist's hometown of Kirkaldy where he is joined by Gordon Brown's favourite Smith scholar, Iain McLean, to examine his life and work and find out how it fitted in to Scottish Enlightenment thinking.
Hunt then goes to Vienna to see how Smith's ideas were adopted and adapted by the Austrian School of Economics, principally by one of the most influential economic and political thinkers of the 20th century: Friedrich Hayek. Hayek's work, The Road To Serfdom, argued that collectivism and the dismantling of the free market entailed the demise of personal freedom.
Hayek went on to influence the radical economic thinking of the Chicago School, headed by Milton Friedman. Both Hayek and Friedman's neo-liberal models for free-market capitalism were embraced by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.
How much does the spirit of Adam Smith still guide the economics of today? Naomi Klein and Anthony Giddens are among the contributors piecing together Smith's legacy.

This week, Kirsty Young's guest is English soprano Dame Felicity Lott, also known as "Flott".
Born in Cheltenham, Dame Felicity began learning the piano at the age of five and had her first singing lesson at the age of 12. Initially, she decided against a professional singing career but she continued her singing lessons at the Conservatoire during a stay in France. By 1969, music had won her over and she returned to London to take up singing studies at the Royal Academy of Music.
She made her debut at the English National Opera as Pamina in Mozart's The Magic Flute in 1975. The following year, she began a long association with Glyndebourne. She has appeared at all the great opera houses of the world and she has worked with nearly all major orchestras.
Kirsty Young invites Dame Felicity to choose eight records to take to Radio 4's mythical desert island.

 Anna Maxwell Martin plays
Isabel in Henry James's Portrait
Of A Lady Anna Maxwell Martin stars as the young and beautiful Isabel Archer in this radio dramatisation of Henry James's classic novel. Isabel thinks she is in control of her fate but little does she know that there are others, behind the scenes, pulling the strings.
When her uncle leaves Isabel a considerable sum of money, she believes that she is truly free to be independent and discover herself and decides to turn down two eligible suitors in order to travel.
