Composer of the Week

Alan Hovhaness (1911 - 2000)

Part One

1/5. Alan Hovhaness set a unique course for himself through the waters of 20th century music, and although he changed tack several times, it was always in response to some shift in his inner sense of direction. He was never diverted by the powerful currents that swept through the musical world of the last century.

Donald Macleod begins his survey of the work of this remarkable composer.

Opera On 3

Wozzeck

Complete performance

From 7.30pm:

The opening night of a new Welsh National Opera production in its new home, the Wales Millennium Centre. Stephanie Hughes meets the General Director of WNO, Anthony Freud, at the centre in Cardiff Bay to discuss the significance of the company's move there. Then, before curtain goes up on this historic performance, director Richard Jones, conductor Vladimir Jurowski, and soloists talk about why Berg's modernist classic of 20th century opera, Wozzeck, remains so radical. First performed in 1925, but banned as degenerate by the Nazis in 1933, it became the first atonal opera to find a niche in the repertoire after World War Two.

From 7.45pm we present Acts 1-3 of the opera with no interval.

Wozzeck, an uncomprehending and neurotic private soldier, is forced to submit to the humiliating demands of his superiors in order to earn enough money to feed his mistress, Marie, and their illegitimate child. Brutalized and subject to hallucinations, he is driven over the edge when he learns Marie has been unfaithful to him.

Captain ...... Peter Hoare
Marie ...... Gun-Brit Barkmin
Drum-Major ...... Peter Svensson
Doctor ...... Clive Bayley
Andres ...... Matthew Beale

Night Waves

28 February 2005

Philip Dodd with the first of a series of talks running throughout the week relating the stories behind some of the most prized artefacts in the British Museum's Africa collection. From the iron throwing knives of the Ingessana people of Sudan, to the ivory salt cellars of Benin City State, five objects that, in different ways, unlock the surprising histories of the countries they come from, and, in addition, cast light on European misunderstanding of African culture.

22:15
