Dermot O'Leary has two chart-topping female vocalists in session this week, Estelle and Katy Perry.
Originally from West London, Estelle Swaray moved to New York to work on her second album, Shine, the first album to be released on John Legend's own record label. A number of different collaborations on the album include American Boy, featuring Kanye West, which went to the top of the UK chart in March this year.
Katy Perry is an LA-based singer-songwriter, who releases her debut album in the UK this month. Called One For The Boys, the album is filled with candid pop-rock tales of neurotic ex-boyfriends and crazy road trips with friends. Her latest single, I Kissed A Girl, topped the UK charts this summer.

BBC RADIO 2's GUITAR SEASON
Jimi Hendrix – Made In London
Saturday 27 September
7.00-8.00pm BBC RADIO 2
|
|
|
|
|
BBC Radio 2's Guitar Season continues with another chance to hear Johnnie Walker's profile of the legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix.
When Jimi was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1992, the testimonial praised the range and vocabulary of his musicianship and added that "many would claim him to be the greatest guitarist ever to pick up the instrument".
Johnnie looks back to the young musician's arrival in "swinging" London. Although born in Seattle, Hendrix was always most at home in his adopted city of London. Shy and retiring, 23-year-old James Marshall Hendrix arrived at Heathrow in September 1966 an absolute unknown – and returned to the USA the following June as a homecoming hero.
BBC Radio 2's Guitar Season looks at some outstanding contributions that artists have made to keeping the guitar at the forefront of music-making across the genres and features documentaries on artists ranging from Howlin' Wolf to Led Zeppelin.

Lucy Duran reviews new world-music releases with Senegalese DJ Dudu Sarr and UK music critic Nigel Williamson. The trio are joined in the studio by The Lani Singers, a duo who fled imprisonment from the Indonesian authorities in West Papua, and whose songs reflect the ancient rituals of the Lani people.
Benny and Maria Wenda are members of the Lani ethnic group, many of whom still follow traditional ways of life that are said to have changed little for hundreds of years. As leader of the Koteka Tribal Assembly, Benny became involved in the separatist movement in West Papua. Although the region has been internationally recognised as a province of Indonesia since the Sixties, the separatist movement claim that traditional Papuan culture is being supressed. Benny escaped imprisonment by the Indonesian authorities five years ago and he and Maria now live in exile in the UK. Their songs reflect traditional Lani values, and the struggle to assert the culture of West Papua.

Jazz Library – Betty Carter

Christine Tobin, Vocalist of The Year in this summer's BBC Jazz Awards, has become a regular contributor to Jazz Library. Her insightful comments have helped give listeners an insider's view of the work of great singers including Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith and Abbey Lincoln.
In this week's programme, she joins Alyn Shipton to talk about the work of Betty Carter, a singer who may well have had more influence than any other on jazz musicians of Christine's generation. One of the most original singers in jazz, Betty Carter's sense of time and elastic approach to pitch and harmony gave every song she performed an indelible personal touch.
As well as possessing a unique vocal sound, Carter's extraordinary abilities as a talent-spotter launched the careers of dozens of young players, including Cyrus Chestnut, Benny Green, Peter Martin and Marc Cary.
Christine joins Alyn to pick the best examples of her recorded work, including the remarkable albums The Audience with Betty Carter, and Feed The Fire, the latter being originally recorded by BBC Radio 3 during a London concert.

EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2008
Opera On 3 – King Roger
Saturday 27 September
6.00-8.15pm BBC RADIO 3
|
|
|
|
|
Szymanowski's King Roger is one of the great operatic masterpieces of the 20th century, a musical melting pot of exoticism and exquisite orchestral colours. This rare staged performance given by the Mariinsky Opera, conducted by Valery Gergiev, was recorded at this year's Edinburgh International Festival. It stars two of Poland's operatic stars, the baritone Andrzej Dobber in the title role and the soprano Elzbieta Szmytka as Roxana.
Set in 12th-century Sicily, Szymanowski's opera has elements of the Greek legend of the god Dionysus. It tells of the resistance of King Roger to a mysterious shepherd who wins over the King's court through his teachings, but later reveals himself as the god Dionysus.
A deeply philosophical work, Szymanowski's music has a sweeping romanticism and exotic lyricism which dramatises the tensions in the composer's own life between aesthetic excess and a rigorous work ethic. The broadcast includes an interview with Valery Gergiev.

Archive Hour – Julian
Baggini's Sound Philosophy
Saturday
27 September
8.00-9.00pm BBC RADIO 4 |
 |
Julian Baggini is a philosopher who thinks about sound. In this personal journey through the sound archives he explores sounds and recordings which have made an impact on his own life.
Julian thinks about the meaning of sound in a way most people do not. This edition of the Archive Hour begins by considering the sound of fleeting modernity – past and present – by listening to a flight of arrows and an internet dial-up connection.
Julian also reflects on passing sounds, on Proustian sounds, on his collection of home-made cassette compilation tapes, on hearing repeats of Hancock's Half Hour, on telephone ring tones and on the decay of sound and its survival in memory.
