Le Fantaisiste

BBC Radio 3 - Composer of the Week, Erik Satie (1866-1925), Le Fantaisiste

Donald Macleod explores Satie's famously eccentric character.

Donald Macleod explores Satie's famously eccentric character, as expressed in works such as Desiccated Embryo and the six 'monkey dances' from Medusa's Snare.

In 1905, Satie renounced his bohemian lifestyle and decided, rather improbably...to go back to school, at the tender age of 39. After two years of hard graft, he graduated with flying colours - and with typical perversity, set about composing some of the most surreal piano works ever written...

In today's episode, Donald Macleod explores his famously eccentric character, as expressed in works like Desiccated Embryos and the six 'monkey dances' from his Dadaist opera Medusa's Snare. He ends with Satie's most famous stage work - the irreverent ballet Parade.

Penny Gore presents music by Verdi, Mussorgsky, Shostakovich, Chopin and Brahms.

Presented by Penny Gore. Verdi: Overture: Nabucco. Mussorgsky: Songs and Dances of Death. Shostakovich: Symphony No 12. Chopin: Barcarolle in F sharp minor. Brahms: Double Concerto.

1989: Twentieth Anniversary

Presented by Penny Gore.

Series of performances marking the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, featuring German orchestras from both sides of the wall and revolutionary music.

The Dresden Staatskapelle is one of the oldest orchestras in the world, founded in 1548, and it has seen plenty of drama in its time, none more so than when it emerged from the former East Germany in 1989. Leading young conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin conducts the orchestra in Brahms's Double Concerto with violinist Julian Rachlin and cellist Mischa Maisky.

Elsewhere, Lenin is the link in Shostakovich's Symphony No 12 (The Year 1917), commemorating the Russian Revolution, and Mussorgsky's Songs and Dance of Death. Mussorgsky was inspired by his friend, the socialist revolutionary Nikolay Chernyshevsky, whose novel What Is to Be Done? had a marked influence on a young Lenin on the road to revolution in Russia.

BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Stephen Poliakoff/The White Ribbon/Michael Goldfarb

Matthew Sweet talks to film-maker Stephen Poliakoff and reviews Michael Haneke's latest.

Matthew Sweet talks to film-maker Stephen Poliakoff and reviews The White Ribbon, the new film by one of Europe's leading directors, Michael Haneke.

Matthew Sweet talks to film-maker Stephen Poliakoff, whose latest work, Glorious 39, is a thriller set on the cusp of the Second World War and examines how close the British Establishment came to finding an accomodation with Hitler. A film with Poliakoff's trademark visual richness, Glorious 39 also contains his perennial interest in the strangeness of families and the dazzling lure of the British aristocracy. Most of all it forces us to look hard at a point in British history when Churchill's defiance, the Battle of Britain and the subsequent national story of hardship, spirit and victory was far from inevitable. Indeed, the majority of British political opinion was set towards finding peace at all costs. Poliakoff also discusses the limitations of British TV, arguing about the film-maker's responsibility to history and upbraiding the British for their continuing complacency over the horrors and the legacy of the Second World War.

There also a review of The White Ribbon, the new film by one of Europe's leading directors, Michael Haneke. Haneke has established a reputation as a director who explores the violent and brutal events that lie just beneath the surface of everyday life. The film, shot in black-and-white, promises to continue this vein, tracing life in a buttoned-up village in Protestant Northern Germany in the years before the First World War. It won the Palme D' Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.

Plus the last of writer Michael Goldfarb's essays on the impact of the events of 1989.
