Composer Of The Week – Copland Ep 1/5
Monday 20 to Friday 24 October
12.00noon-1.00pm BBC RADIO 3 |
|
|
|
|
Donald Macleod looks at the life and music of Aaron Copland through the prism of five hugely important relationships.
Today, Donald explores the composer's long and fruitful friendship with his composition teacher, the formidable Nadia Boulanger, known to her students as "Mademoiselle". Copland tells us: "She was able to extract, from a composer of two-page songs and three-page piano pieces, a full-sized ballet, lasting 35 minutes." That ballet, Grohg, inspired by silent horror film Nosferatu, forms the first half of the programme.
Madamoiselle was also able to extract from her capacious address book names that could help to advance her students' careers. In Copland's case, one such name was Serge Koussevitsky, the Russian-born conductor and general one-man musical dynamo. He launched Copland on one of the most successful composing careers of the 20th century.
Today's programme closes with Copland's Symphony For Orchestra And Organ.

The Essay – From Pens To Ploughshares
Monday 20 October
11.00-11.15pm BBC RADIO 3 |
|
|
|
|
In 1874, John Ruskin, Slade Professor at Oxford University, called for volunteer undergraduates to drain and surface a muddy road in the village of Ferry Hinskey. Although the episode was much ridiculed, it drew many disciples into Ruskin's orbit, including the young Oscar Wilde.
From Pens To Ploughshares focuses on a handful of key arts and crafts people who took up Ruskin's creed with great practical conviction. These included: the architect C.R. Ashbee; the political thinker and sandal-maker Edward Carpenter; the writer Godfrey Blount; and the potter Michael Cardew, who took himself off to the African Gold Coast.
In today's Essay, author and biographer Fiona MacCarthy discusses a key belief that fired up the arts and crafts movement – that hand-making had a higher moral worth than machine production. Fiona focuses on one of the most ambitious of the simple-lifers, C.R. Ashbee, who, in 1902, persuaded members of his East End of London Guild of Handicraft to resettle with their families in Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds.
Fiona MacCarthy has written biographies of Eric Gill, William Morris, Byron and C.R. Ashbee. She is currently writing a biography of Edward Burne-Jones.

Jez Nelson presents a gig by pianist John Escreet, recorded at Birmingham's CBSO Centre in early October. Playing original music, Escreet's group features New York alto saxophonist David Binney, who, last year, won both the critics' and readers' polls in Downbeat. Escreet has become one of the most sought-after players on the contemporary New York scene because of his lyrical yet modern approach to jazz.
Escreet was born in Doncaster and studied music in the UK, but moved to New York in 2006 to undertake a Masters course at the Manhattan School of Music. Whilst there, he was taught by Kenny Barron and Jason Moran. Since then, he has led several of his own groups, as well as performing with some of New York's best musicians, including Will Vinson, Marcus Gilmore and Wayne Krantz.

Searching
For Schindler – A Memoir Ep 1/5
Monday 20 October
9.45-10.00am BBC RADIO 4 |
|
|
|
 |
This is a personal account by Australian novelist Thomas Keneally of his discovery of the Schindler story, which became the Booker Prize-winning novel, Schindler's Ark, and the Oscar-laden film, Schindler's List.
A chance encounter with a Polish shop keeper in Los Angeles leads Keneally to the extraordinary story of Oskar Schindler, an Aryan who saved hundreds of Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland.
Thomas Keneally met Leopold "Poldek" Pfefferberg, the owner of a Beverly Hills luggage shop, in 1981. Poldek, a Polish Jew and a Holocaust survivor, had a tale he wanted the world to know. Charming, charismatic and persistent, he convinced Keneally to research and write the incredible story.
Searching For Schindler is the engrossing chronicle of Keneally's pursuit of one of history's most fascinating and paradoxical heroes. Travelling throughout the United States, Germany, Israel, Poland, and Austria, Keneally and Poldek interviewed people who had known Schindler and uncovered their indelible memories of the Holocaust.
Keneally's powerful narrative rose quickly to the top of bestseller lists. Steven Spielberg's film adaptation went on to fulfil Poldek's dream of winning "an Oscar for Oskar".

 Michael Palin plays the
courageous Miles Kington How Shall I tell the Dog? is Miles Kington's final book, in which he faces the cancer that eventually kills him with astonishing courage and sparkling wit.
Miles Kington was a much-loved humorist, musician and broadcaster. Hilarious and moving, the book consists of a series of letters from Miles to his literary agent – ostensibly proposing a stream of increasingly absurd ideas for books he might write about his illness. In reality, they were simply a brilliant vehicle for his characteristic humour.
The cast includes Michael Palin as Miles, alongside Anna Massey and Nicholas Murchie.

Frontiers Ep 1/6
Monday 20 October
9.00-9.30pm BBC RADIO 4 |
|
|
|
|
Imagine a colourless, flavourless drink that you can tailor to your own tastes. With the zap of a specially designed microwave, you can decide the colour and flavour you'd like that drink to be, and even which nutrients you'd like it to contain. It sounds like the stuff of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, but this drink is reputedly already in development within the food industry.
In the first programme in a new series of Frontiers, Sue Broom explores the magical world of "nano-foods", talking to food scientists who are making use of the quirky physical laws of extremely small food particles. Forty years on from Roald Dahl's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, researchers are using nano-technology to alter the properties of food, changing how it tastes and feels, and even improving it's nutritional content. Despite having a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars, "nano-foods" intended for UK shelves remain a closely guarded secret within the food industry.
The public outcry over GM foods is a stark reminder of how much people care about what they eat. Sue Broom asks whether nano-particles are safe to eat and investigates what impact they may have on the environment.
