The Early Music Show

William Lawes, an Unmathematical Genius

Composer to the court of Charles I, Lawes died young in the turmoil of the Civil War. His music is both exquisitely beautiful and unerringly experimental for its time. Criticised in his own age for failing to adhere to the mathematical rules of music, Lawes still managed to find favour with the King, who referred to him as the 'father of musik'. Andrew Manze explores the life and work of this neglected composer.

The Joy of Sax

Programme One

Courtney Pine explores the history of an instrument created for the symphony orchestra, but which found its authentic voice in jazz.

Opera On 3

Massenet's Manon

Part One

Manon

Renée Fleming sings Massenet's irresistible heroine, in a production conducted by Jesús López-Cobos. Presented from New York by Margaret Juntwait.

Manon arrives in Amiens on her way to life in a convent. There she meets des Grieux, and abruptly decides that a life of love with him would suit her better. But with des Grieux's father opposing the marriage, and Manon's taste for rich men and glittering society, things are unlikely to be straightforward.

Des Grieux ...... Massimo Giordano (tenor)
Lescaut ...... Jean-Luc Chaignaud (baritone)
Count des Grieux ...... Hao Jiang Tian (bass)
Poussette ...... Monica Yunus (soprano)

Do My Ears Deceive Me

Do My Ears Deceive Me? Professor Diana Deutsch joins Chris Maslanka to explore the world of aural illusions.

Like optical illusions, aural illusions can be great fun. But more than that, they can tell us all sorts of things about how the human brain works, and how we
appreciate music. Psychology professor Diana Deutsch, a world expert in the field, joins Chris Maslanka to play a few tricks with your ears - and reveal their secrets.
