BBC Radio 3 - Performance on 3, Ulster Hall Re-opening Concert

The Ulster Orchestra celebrates the re-opening of the newly-restored Ulster Halls.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny. The Ulster Orchestra celebrates the re-opening of the newly-restored Ulster Halls, with music by Beethoven, Stravinsky and a new work by Brian Irvine.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

A concert with the Ulster Orchestra celebrating the re-opening of their new home, the newly-restored Ulster Hall. Known locally as 'the Grande Dame of Bedford Street', the venue has been restored to its Victorian grandeur following two years of renovations.

The programme opens with Beethoven's Consecration of the House Overture, originally composed for the opening of the Josephstadter Theatre in Vienna in 1822. Belfast pianist Michael McHale is the soloist in Rachmaninov's showpiece, Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini, while Stanford's Songs of Fleet pays a passing tribute to Belfast's long association with the sea and the shipbuilding industry.

A new work by Brian Irivne, Big Daddy Motorhead, celebrates the past by marking some of the Ulster Hall's celebrated performers, before the closing piece - Stravinsky's Firebird Suite 1919

Racine

BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Racine

Philip Dodd attempts to bridge the Anglo-French cultural gap over playwright Jean Racine.

Philip Dodd asks why Jean Racine's plays, in spite of sharing much with Shakespeare, have not been as popular in Britain as those of his French compatriot Moliere.

As a new production of Racine's Andromaque opens in Britain, and with another production of his best-known work beginning later in 2009, Philip Dodd asks why his plays, in spite of sharing much with Shakespeare, have not been as popular here as those of his French compatriot Moliere.

Philip Dodd examines the comparative unpopularity in this country of French playwright Jean Racine as one of his plays opens in Britain. Producer Gavin Heard

Helen Macdonald talks about rearing and training a female goshawk.

Poet, writer and falconer Helen Macdonald talks about rearing and training a female goshawk.

Our essay series follows the writer and falconer Helen Macdonald through a year of keeping a female goshawk. As well as being a diary of training a large and powerful bird of bird - keeping a hawk called Mabel in a house in Cambridge, walking through the streets with her on her fist, and flying her after rabbits - the series of talks is also a meditation on the place hawks and falcons have had in the human imagination for millennia, and particularly on another falconer, another goshawk keeper and writer - the novelist T.H. White best known for his series of Arthurian books - The Once and Future King. White wrote an extraordinary account of his goshawk experiences in the 1950s and Helen Macdonald's talks are a conversation with this near-mad book. 

The language of falconry is rich and poetic. A mews was a cage or a building where captive hawks and falcons were kept. And Helen Macdonald's talks reflect on a wealth of themes - on home and flying from it, on killing things and English fascism, on what can be tamed and what cannot.

Producer : Tim Dee (R).
