Private Passions – Nick Clegg
Sunday 12 October
12.00-1.00pm BBC RADIO 3
|

|
|
|
Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats and MP for Sheffield Hallam, shares his Private Passions with Michael Berkeley this afternoon. Born in 1967, Clegg is the third of four children of a half-Russian father and a Dutch mother and is fluent in Dutch, French, German and Spanish.
After beginning his career as a journalist and development aid and trade expert for the European Commission, Nick was elected as an MEP in 1999. Just six years later, he was elected MP for Sheffield Hallam in 2005 and succeeded Menzies Campbell as party leader in December 2007.
Nick admits that being an MP and party leader is such a full-time job that it doesn't leave very much time for leisure activities, but he loves listening to music when he can. His Spanish wife plays the piano, and three of his choices of music are played by pianists he greatly admires – a Schubert Impromptu in E flat minor played by Alfred Brendel; a Chopin waltz played by Claudio Arrau; and the slow movement of Chopin's Second Piano Concerto, played by Vladimir Ashkenazy.
His other choices are Mozart's Laudate Dominum, K339, Schubert's terrifying song Erlkonig, sung by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau with Gerald Moore; and Richard Strauss's radiant Beim Schlafengehen, one of the Four Last Songs, sung by Elizabeth Schwarzkopf.

Opera superstar Bryn Terfel, fresh from his appearance at the Last Night Of The Proms, tells BBC Radio 3 that he is waiting for the call for London 2012. Bryn, who performed at the closing ceremony of this year's Ryder Cup golf tournament, is anxious to play his part when the Olympics reach London in four years' time.
"Hopefully I can be a part of it," he tells presenter Chi-chi Nwanoku. "It'll be very interesting to see who's associated with the musical side of the Olympics because, as you saw, the opening and closing ceremonies in Beijing had a substantial amount of music. I think we've got to start drawing on papers now, what styles of music we'll use, so I'm waiting on the other end of the phone."

Roy McMillan's new adaptation of this iconic Jacobean play stars Sophie Okonedo in the title role and focuses on the personal tragedies of a powerful family ripped apart by lust and betrayal, and is this week's Drama On 3 offering.

With new music specially written by Arthur Ka Wai Jenkins, this adaptation of The Duchess Of Malfi has an all-star cast with Sophie Okonedo in the title role and Bertie Carvel as the malcontent Bosola, Jonathan Slinger as the Duke Ferdinand and Rory Kinnear as Antonio.
The cast also includes Oliver Senton, Oliver Le Sueur, Becky Hindley, Rachel Bavidge, Michael Griffiths, Paul Panting, Nicholas Gadd and Francis Middleditch.

Sunday Feature – Elegy

Poet Michael Symmons Roberts embarks on a personal exploration of the elegy and talks to critics and fellow poets about its continuing importance, in this week's Sunday Feature.
There have been many obituaries for poetry as a public art form yet there's one kind of poetry that refuses to die – poems about the dead. From the home-made elegies which appear every day in the "deaths" columns of newspapers to the popularity of WH Auden's Funeral Blues after it was featured in the film Four Weddings And A Funeral, people often instinctively turn to poetry to make sense of grief and loss.
Contributors include poets Douglas Dunn, Michael Longley and Gillian Clarke, who talk about their own elegies, and Andrew Motion discusses the challenges of writing elegies at times of public mourning. Michael himself writes a series of elegies to the elegists of the past and asks whether, in the way it captures lost moments and people, all poetry is, in fact, elegy.

Jazz Line-Up features alto-saxophonist Bobby Watson in concert at this year's Glasgow International Jazz Festival, introduced by Claire Martin.
Put simply, Bobby Watson is a jazz legend. After completing his tenure as a Jazz Messenger (1977-1981), the gifted Watson became a much sought-after musician, working alongside the likes of Max Roach and Louis Hayes, saxophonists George Coleman and Branford Marsalis, celebrated multi-instrumentalist Sam Rivers and trumpeter Wynton Marsalis.
With bassist Curtis Lundy and drummer Victor Lewis, Watson launched the first edition of Horizon, an acoustic quintet based in many ways after the Jazz Messengers, but one with its own distinct twist. In addition to his work as leader of Horizon, Watson also led a group known as the High Court of Swing – a tribute to the music of Johnny Hodges. In total, Watson has some 26 recordings as a leader.
This recording, exclusively for Jazz Line-Up, was made in June this year at the 2008 Glasgow International Jazz Festival.

In 2005, Bhaskar was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the New Year Honours List, and married his collaborator, Meera Syal, who played his grandmother in The Kumars At No.42 and was also his co-star in Anita And Me.
His first book, India With Sanjeev Bhaskar, based on a BBC documentary series, became a Sunday Times bestseller in 2007. This year he made his musical theatre debut as King Arthur in Spamalot, at London's Palace Theatre.

Lennon's Private Passion – Cape Wrath

As a child, John Lennon was taken to the very far north-west of Scotland for his summer holidays. Sarfraz Manzoor retraces the journey and meets John Lennon's cousin, Stan Parkes, who shares the memories of long happy summers in the spectacular landscape of Sutherland.
The young Lennon was introduced to all things Scottish by Stan's father, a Highlander who owned a croft in Durness. Soon, the family were making their way north of the border for their summer holidays. Lennon became so attached to this part of the world that it is said that his song, In My Life, was written to commemorate the people of Durness.
In this fascinating programme, Sarfraz meets the people of Durness who remember playing on the beach with the young boy from Liverpool. He visits the croft where Lennon stayed and hears of a private visit in 1969 when the famous musician returned to the scene of his happy childhood summer holidays with Yoko Ono. This journey, however, went horribly wrong when Lennon overturned his car in a ditch.
