Discovering Music

Fairy Tales

The literature of music contains some vivid examples of story telling in music. Charles is joined by an audience of school students for a workshop, recorded last year in the Ulster Hall Belfast, in which he tells the musical stories behind some familiar and less well known fairy tales, including items from Carl Nielsen's incidental music for Aladdin, Ravel's ballet Mother Goose and Humperdinck's opera Hansel and Gretel. The music is performed by the Ulster Orchestra and the Choir of Methodist College

15:00

World Routes

The Hidden Music of Venezuela

Blues To Be There

Part 3

In this concluding part, Alyn Shipton looks at the later years of the Newport Jazz Festival, which celebrates its fiftieth birthday this month. Highlights include Frank Sinatra flying in by helicopter in 1965, and an all-star line up of trumpeters paying tribute to Louis Armstrong in 1970. Meanwhile, more trouble with crowds forces the festival to move to New York during the 1970s before a prodigal return to Newport.

With contributions from George Wein, Jimmy Owens, Dan Morgenstern and Billy Taylor.

Opera On 3

Peter Grimes

Complete performance

The Royal Opera House presents Willy Decker's dark and compelling production of Peter Grimes, hot off the stage from La Monnaie in Brussels. Ben Heppner plays the ambiguous anti-hero, despised by the Borough after the suspicious death of his boy apprentice, and desperate for its acceptance. A stellar cast is conducted by Antonio Pappano in Britten's rich musical depiction of the intrigue and prejudices within a small English fishing town, dominated by the ever-present sea.

Presented by Martin Handley.
