Looking West

BBC Radio 3 - Composer of the Week, Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971), Looking West

Donald Macleod looks at the years prior to Stravinsky's leaving Europe for America.

Donald Macleod looks at the years building up to Stravinsky's leaving Europe for America, when he was already writing works for American patrons. Workd include Praeludium.

From 1939 until his death in New York in 1971 Stravinsky made America his home. This week Donald Macleod explores this final chapter of the composer's life, looking at the impact his American experiences had on Stravinsky and his works. In the first programme, 'Looking West', Donald looks at Stravinsky's final years in Europe, when he was already composing works for American patrons, and leading a complicated private life, with his family ensconced in a grand chateau in South-Eastern France, and his mistress Vera in a Paris apartment. The tragic loss of his daughter, wife Katya and mother Anna within a few months in 1938 led him to feel that he no longer had ties to Paris, and he set sail for America in the autumn of 1939.

Night Waves: Translating Foreign Poetry

Translating Foreign Poetry

BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Translating Foreign Poetry

Philip Dodd and Ian McMillan on the difficulties and joys of translating foreign poetry.

Philip Dodd explores the complexities of translating poetry with Radio 3's Ian McMillan, who loves collecting poems in foreign languages.

As part of BBC Poetry Season, Philip Dodd presents poems newly translated into English by Radio 3's Ian McMillan.

Whenever the poet finds himself overseas, Ian always makes the effort to seek out the local poetry, the way others seek out seaside rock, local carpets or car stickers. He buys a choice volume by the writer that most takes his fancy - and brings it back for his home bookshelves. His aim is to one day compose his own English-language version of the best of these foreign poets  - and spread the word within these shores. 

Night Waves gives him a first chance for his mission. Ian creates two new poems from literal translations into English. He can't reveal his choices, but Ian's message is clear - alongside the BBC's celebration of historical British giants like Donne and Milton and our impressive raft of contemporary poets working in the UK, let's also celebrate the rich variety of poetry that is available in translation.

Ian Macmillan discusses the difficulties and joys of translating foreign poetry, and creates two new poems from literal translations of foreign works into English - to be broadcast on Monday and Wednesday of this week. Producer Fiona McLean

Biologist Matthew Cobb considers the quest for spontaneously-generated life.

In a series in which scientists revisit mould-breaking experiments in history, biologist Matthew Cobb considers the quest for spontaneously-generated life.

Strange Encounters - scientists revisit mould-breaking experiments in history. Today, biologist Matthew Cobb on the quest for spontaneously generated life. In the sweltering heat of a 17th century Tuscan villa, surrounded by jars of putrefying meat, Francesco Redi doubts the idea, handed down from Aristotle, and accepted unquestioningly by his contemporaries, that insects and reptiles emerge without parents from dead flesh. The painstaking experiments not only established the notion of testing theories by exhaustive experimentation, but also laid the foundations of modern ideas of continuous heredity in all life. 

Producer: Roland Pease.
