BBC Radio 3 - Composer of the Week, Carl Nielsen (1865-1931), Episode 4

Donald Macleod presents works from when Nielsen's career and personal life were in crisis.

Donald Macleod introduces works from the turbulent years when Nielsen's career and personal life were in crisis. With Afsted!; Wind Quintet (4th mvt); Springtime in Funen.

Donald Macleod explores the life and work of Carl Nielsen, Denmark's best-known composer.

In 1914, after his resignation as conductor at the Royal Theatre, Nielsen's conducting career wasn't going so well. Things began to look up when he was offered work in Sweden and appointed conductor of Copenhagen's Philharmonic Orchestra. His personal life was in crisis, too -  his wife had asked for a legal separation, a situation which would last for the next eight years.  

Donald introduces works from those turbulent years, including his Piano Suite, regarded as the most important music Nielsen wrote for the instrument, part of the Wind Quintet written for five friends and his most popular choral work - the folk oratorio Springtime in Funen.

BBC Radio 3's complete cycle of Handel operas continues with Giustino - the story of a peasant's rise of the rank of emperor. Full of spectacle, the opera was composed for the 1736-37 Covent Garden season and based on an episode in Byzantine history. It begins with the coronation of Anastasio by Empress Arianna being interrupted by news of the advance of the rebel Vitaliano, who is demanding Arianna's hand. The peasant Giustino is told by the goddess Fortuna to join the war against the rebel. Immediately he saves the life of Anastasio's sister Leocasta who is being chased by a bear - and later he rescues Arianna herself from a sea-monster.

Presented by Jonathan Swain, who is joined in the studio by Michael Chance, who sings the title role.

Philip Dodd and guests debate which is the greater human achievement - sport or the arts.

In an audience discussion recorded at 2009's Free Thinking festival, Philip Dodd and guests debate which is the greater human achievement - sport or the arts.

In a discussion recorded in front of an audience at BBC Radio 3's Free Thinking ideas festival at the Sage, Gateshead, Philip Dodd and guests debate which is the greater human achievement - sport or the arts.

Global sport is a triumphant blend of high drama, athletic grace and operatic personalities. But is it really the noblest of endeavours or an overhyped money market? And can the arts be dismissed as elitist when season tickets cost a fortune and our great galleries are free?

As the 2012 Olympics approaches, a panel from both worlds tackle the issues. It features Simon Pryde, presenter of BBC Newcastle's Total Sport; Ed Smith, former test cricketer and author of What Sport Teaches You About Life; Bill Feaver, art critic and author of The Pitmen Painters; Edith Hall, historian of ancient Greece and Martin Kelner, author and sports writer.

Robert Macfarlane on Eric Ravilious, who was fascinated by aerial landscapes.

The Downs have often prompted dreams of flight. Robert Macfarlane Robert re-imagines the life of artist Eric Ravilious, who was fascinated by the 'pure design' of the South Downs.

The Downs have often prompted dreams of flight. 'I shall lift great heron-like wings and fly...to other points of view', wrote WH Hudson in 1900. Reaching The Cuckmere Valley and The Seven Sisters, Robert Macfarlane re-imagines the life of the artist Eric Ravilious (1903-42), who was fascinated by the 'pure design' of the South Downs: their paths, ridges and light. Ravilious's passion for aerial landscapes eventually led him northwards, to Norway and Iceland. He disappeared off the coast of Iceland in September 1942 while on a rescue flight. Producer Tim Dee.

Robert Macfarlane walks along the South Downs, discovering its chalk paths and its ghosts.
