Private Passions – Marcia Schofield
Sunday 26 October
12.00-1.00pm BBC RADIO 3
|
|
|
|
|
Michael Berkeley's guest today is Marcia Schofield, an American-born "wild child" who played keyboards with British indie rock group The Fall for five years in the late Eighties. She then switched careers to study medicine, graduating from Cambridge University in 1997, and now works at the West Suffolk Hospital in Ipswich, specialising in pain management, and lectures on the Cambridge Graduate Course in Medicine.
Marcia's musical tastes are decidedly eclectic, and her choices for Private Passions begin with an excerpt from Arvo Part's Tabula rasa, which she first heard while on honeymoon in India. Two of her other choices are in a similar vein – John Tavener's The Protecting Veil and John Adams's post-9/11 piece On The Transmigration Of Souls. She finds Tavener's music interesting from a medical point of view – he has Marfan's Syndrome, which she thinks might account for the overt melancholy of much of his music, while the Adams piece is healing, a deliberately unspectacular reaction to an extreme event.
Her other choices include an excerpt from Scriabin's Prometheus, inspired by the concept of synaesthesia, which has always interested her; Glenn Gould's innovative use of the recording studio as an instrument in The Idea Of North; and an excerpt from Bartok's opera, Duke Bluebeard's Castle, which she finds fascinating for its study of the emotional gulf between men and women.

Drama
On 3 – Caligari
Sunday 26 October
8.00-9.20pm BBC RADIO 3
|
|
|
|
|
Full of the darkness and fear that prevailed in post-First World War Germany, The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari is a film about the madness of society, the inner workings of the human mind and the paranoia of a country in the aftermath of a war. Today's Drama On 3 was inspired by the film and uses its narrative as a springboard for original writing and music.
Francis and his friend, Allan, visit a fair in Hebden Bridge, where they encounter Dr Caligari, a showman whose attraction is his fortune-telling somnambulist, Cesare, a damaged wraith-like figure. That night, Jane, the girl that Francis and Allan both love, is abducted by Caligari. During the captivity, Caligari becomes more and more fascinated by Jane and realises he is falling in love with her. He vows to keep her captive but alive, believing that she will start to love him and want to stay with him voluntarily.
Amanda Dalton is a poet and playwright. She has written extensively for BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4 and also writes original drama for theatre. The play has original music by Olly Fox, whose recent credits include Therese Raquin (National Theatre) and A Number (Sheffield Crucible). Olly has previously collaborated with Amanda on Secret Heart (Royal Exchange) and Desire Lines (BBC Radio 4).
