Henry Lowther 70th Birthday Concert
Sun 4 Sep 2011

BBC Radio 3
Julian Joseph celebrates the 70th birthday of trumpeter Henry Lowther.
Jazz Line-Up celebrates the 70th birthday of one of the UK's most cherished jazz musicians, trumpeter Henry Lowther.
In this unique event, Henry has assembled exclusively for Jazz Line-Up two of his ensembles who allow him to perform his wide repertoire of styles namely his "Great Wee Band" and "Still Waters".
In "Still Waters", the music is more free and allows expression with very little form whereas the "Great Wee Band" - incidentally a name coined by the guitarist Jim Mullen - is more straight ahead and plays around with standards but once again has room for Henry to develop the themes.
The programme was recorded before an invited audience at the BBC's Maida Vale studios and is introduced by Julian Joseph.

"Still Waters"
Henry Lowther (Trumpet), Pete Hurt (Sax), Ian Thomas (Drums), Peter Saberton (Piano), Dave Green (Bass)

"The Great Wee Band"
Henry Lowther (Trumpet), Stu Butterfield (Drums), Jim Mullen (Guitar), Dave Green (Bass).

BBC Radio 3
Michael Berkeley's guest is potter and writer Edmund de Waal.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00s1kz0
Michael Berkeley's guest today is the potter and writer Edmund de Waal, internationally renowned for his beautiful porcelain vessels which are to be seen in museums and galleries all over the world, from London to Los Angeles, Korea and Frankfurt.

The son of a dean of Canterbury Cathedral, he was educated at the King's School, Canterbury, where he was taught pottery by Geoffrey Whiting, a disciple of Bernard Leach. After leaving Cambridge, where he read English at Trinity Hall, he set up a pottery on the Welsh border, making inexpensive domestic pottery in Leach's Anglo-Oriental style, but later on began to interpret the Oriental tradition in a different way. Most of his work now consists of cylindrical pots with pale celadon glazes, and he specializes in installations involving groups of pots, such as 'Signs and Wonders' at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, part of their new Ceramic Galleries, and 'From Zero' seen last year at the Alan Cristea Gallery in London.

De Waal is also a writer. His books include 'Twentieth Century Ceramics'; a monograph on Bernard Leach, and a prize-winning memoir, 'The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance', published in June 2010.

Edmund de Waal has been passionate about music since childhood. Several of his choices - sacred music by Orlando Gibbons, J.S. Bach and Gesualdo - recall his formative years spent near a great cathedral. There's also music he works to, including Adams's 'Shaker Loops', Eno's 'This' and Moby's 'Porcelain', as well as Brendel playing a Mozart sonata and the Prologue and Pastoral from Britten's Serenade for tenor, horn and strings.

Speed
Sun 4 Sep 2011
22:15
BBC Radio 3
Texts and music on the theme of speed with readings by Maxine Peake and Andrew Scott.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01460ph
A hymn to speed: agitation and restlessness; frenzied, dynamic performances; and the feverish adrenaline of high-speed travel. 'We declare,' wrote Marinetti in his Manifesto of Futurism, 'that the splendour of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.'

With music by John Adams, Charles-Valentin Alkan and Bach; and words by Pablo Neruda, Wordsworth and Emily Dickinson, read by Maxine Peake and Andrew Scott.

Producer's Note
The beauty of eternal, omnipresent speed: a seductive anthem for writers and musicians from Bach's fast-flowing Prelude in C Minor to the drug-fuelled road-trip across America of Jack Kerouac's On the Road.

With the railway and the motorcar came an obsession with high speed travel. Michael Nyman's MGV opens this edition of Words and Music taking us on a journey through an imagined and musical landscape – rhythmic, undulating and abstract. The piece was commissioned by the Festival de Lille to open the TVG North European line in 1993. Almost 100 years earlier, Marinetti similarly sang of 'great-breasted locomotives, puffing on the rails like enormous steel horses.' And before his Manifesto of Futurism, composers such as Charles-Valentin Alkan created musical representations of the frenzy of rail travel. Le Chemin de fer ('the railway') is perhaps the most popular of his etudes for piano, played at an exhausting tempo.

A performer’s dexterity in expressing works of great dynamism can be heard in Hilary Hahn's agile interpretation of the finale of Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto. Commissioned by the father of Iso Briselli who was a contemporary of Barber's, the piece exploits the virtuosic character of the violin and vacillates between urgency and determination. The forward momentum of John Adams' Short Ride in a Fast Machine, while similar in its urgency, is boldly joyous.

Foreshadowing the advent of mechanical invention, poets and composers have invoked Nature for artistic expression. Strangely melancholy and yet resilient, Emily Dickinson's There Came a Wind Like a Bugle bars the windows and doors against a quivering and ominous wind - a wind that seeks to shake the foundations of the earth. The poem ends with what is almost astonishment that much can 'yet abide the world!' This expression occurs in Pablo Neruda's Sonnet IX: buffeted by galloping water and incessant sand, together the author and his love are united to withstand the assault of the world’s wild speed. We end with William Cowper's Retirement, a poem which offers calm retreat and silent shade far away from the tumult of the world. In contrast to the Futurist's adulation of feverish sleeplessness, Cowper articulates the need for silence, rest and peace.
