Prom 9 part 1

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Olivier Messiaen's divine contemplations, inspired by the red sandstone spires of Bryce Canyon in Utah, launch this season's survey of the French composer's work.

Presented by Sarah Walker.

Twenty Minutes

God Save the Rain Queen

Christopher Hope sets his story in the South African Highveld, where the Rain Queen, Her Majesty Bamadodi VI, holds sway as the authorised rainmaker. Her power though is chipped away by the modern attitudes sweeping the country, attitudes which bring an ambiguous promise of progress and the deadly threat of disease. The bond of friendship she forges with a white South African middle-class mother protects them both for a time.

Written and read by Christopher Hope.

Jazz on 3

Michael Brecker's Quindectet

On tonight's Jazz on 3, Jez Nelson presents a concert by US saxophone star Michael Brecker, recorded just a few weeks ago at the Barbican Hall in London.

Brecker is widely revered as the most technically-advanced jazz saxophonist today, and when he visits our shores it always generates considerable excitement amongst fans of the music.

His latest project, the Quindectet, is an unusual 15-piece ensemble, which includes strings, accordion, and clarinets as well as more conventional jazz instruments. This intriguing line up provides Brecker with a rich palette of colours with which to develop his arrangements. The programme, therefore, should be an opportunity to check out his talents as a composer as well as his jaw-dropping skills with the saxophone.
