Stan Kenton Celebration
Sun 11 Dec 2011

BBC Radio 3
Julian Joseph presents the BBC Big Band under Jiggs Whigham in an all-Stan Kenton concert.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01806p7
Julian Joseph presents an all Stan Kenton special programme for what would have been the bandleader's and composer's 100th Birthday. The augmented BBC Big Band conducted by Jiggs Whigham are in concert at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester to play Kenton's band classics, arranged by his star band members of Bill Russo, Johnny Richards and Bill Holman.
As Whigham explains on the programme, Kenton was an encouraging bandleader and never stopped giving his players the opportunity to write and arrange for the band.
This programme includes Kenton evergreens such as Bill Russo's "Frank Speaking" and Johnny Richards arrangements of "Speak Low " and "Stella by Starlight", a feature for Bass Trombone, a rarity in itself.
The second half the concert is a complete performance of "West Side Story" - another Johnny Richards epic when the band are augmented by French Horns and Tuba.
As Julian Joseph points out, all this just a few days before what would have been Kenton's 100th Birthday.
BBC Big Band are:- Craig Wild, Danny Marsden, Brian Rankine, Martin Shaw, Andy Greenwood (Trumpets), Gordon Campbell, Andy Wood, Mark Nightingale, Pete North, Robbie Harvey (Trombones), Sammy Mayne, Dave O'Higgins, Steve Main, Jay Craig, Claire McInerney, (Saxophones), Robin Aspland (Piano), Ian Laws (Guitar), Sam Burgess (Bass), Tom Gordon (Drums), Anthony Kerr (Vibes and Percussion), Adrian Miotti (Tuba), Jim Rattigan, Pip Eastop, Jonathan Bareham, Richard Ashton (Horns), Prof. Jiggs Whigham (Conductor).

Kirsty Young's castaway is the journalist and former editor Eve Pollard.
She was groomed for success by Rupert Murdoch, but made an editor by Robert Maxwell. Her career has spanned glossy magazines and tabloid journalism, breakfast television, biographies and novels. When she first worked on Fleet Street, she says, women were such a rarity that the male reporters didn't know what to make of her. "Any woman who has a high flying job, they don't know who to compare you to - you're not their mum, you're not their sister, you're not their wife - so they make you a sort of monster-nanny figure."

Kirsty Young's castaway this week is Janet Street-Porter. Born, she says, with 'frilly teeth, big glasses and beige hair' she also came with a healthy measure of ambition, brains and creativity and she used those talents to pioneer a new style of television.
In this personal interview, she describes how, as she gets older, she can't bear to look in a mirror and see traces of her mother; how her shyness can make it difficult for her to walk into a room full of strangers and that what she likes best is to be walking in the hills, in the rain and sleet, mulling over ideas for her next project. She may be a pensioner with a good body of work behind her, but, she says, her mind is on the career that lies ahead.

Michael Berkeley's guest is actor Dan Stevens.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01806nb
Michael Berkeley 's guest is actor Dan Stevens, one of the rising young stars of stage and screen. He plays Matthew Crawley in the ITV hit series 'Downton Abbey', which returns shortly with a Christmas Special. Before Downton, Dan played the lead role of Nick Guest in the BBC's adaptation of Alan Hollinghurst's Booker Prize-winning novel 'The Line of Beauty', and appeared as Edward Ferrars in Andrew Davies' BBC adaptation of 'Sense and Sensibility'. He has also appeared in other TV dramas, including 'Turn of the Screw', 'Dracula' and 'Maxwell'. He has a leading role in a forthcoming US movie 'Vamps', alongside Sigourney Weaver, Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter. On stage he has appeared in several Peter Hall productions, including 'Hay Fever', 'Much Ado about Nothing' and 'As You Like It'; starred as Septimus Hodge in Tom Stoppard's 'Arcadia', and appeared in Samuel West's production of 'The Romans in Britain'. He is also a highly acclaimed narrator of audiobooks, and is often heard on BBC Radio 4.
Dan Stevens is a fan of early music, and his choices include Byrd's Mass for 4 voices, sung by the Oxford Camerata and Allegri's Miserere. He has chosen extracts from two famous requiem masses, by Mozart and Faure, that he sang in the choir at Tonbridge School, while the slow movement of Bach's Double Violin Concerto, played by Daniel Hope, was a piece played at his wedding. Film music has had a particular influence on him, and he has chosen the Sanctus of the Missa Luba, from the soundtrack of 'If', and Philip Glass's Koyaanisqatsi, which he first heard while studying at Cambridge University. A piece by his university composer friend John Boden and Chet Baker's jazz classic 'I'm Old Fashioned' complete his list.

Tendrilled Avenues
Sun 11 Dec 2011
18:30
BBC Radio 3
A sequence of texts and music about our complex relationship with alcohol.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01806nq
"Tendrilled Avenues": poetry and prose from Pliny to Proulx celebrating and cautioning, lamenting and laughing, about humanity's complex relationship with alcohol, read by Sally Dexter and Jon Strickland.
Pliny the Elder gives a sober judgement of wine's effects. Dickens and Lowry describe in poetic detail, the interior of two drinking establishments; Colette's heroine Claudine becomes light-headed on sparkling wine and new love. Shakespeare's Falstaff is unequivocal in his praise for "good sherris sack", while Martin Amis's John Self discovers the embarrassment of over-indulgence at a dinner party. Whalers on shore-leave caper wildly in Moby Dick; Proulx's fishing community party takes a violent turn. And DH Lawrence meditates on humanity's ancient and mysterious relationship with the "tendrilled avenues of wine and the otherworld".
With drinking songs from Verdi, Warlock and Tom Waits, and orchestral interludes ranging from reflective to euphoric, by Ravel, Copland and Milhaud.
Producer note
Poetry and prose from Pliny to Proulx, celebrating and cautioning, lamenting and laughing, about humanity’s relationship with alcohol; with complementary songs, dances and musical atmospheres.
After the rousing chorus “in the tavern” from Orff’s Carmina Burana (sung in medieval Latin), the Roman writer Pliny the Elder gives a quasi-scientific judgement on wine’s effects, observing that Alexander the Great should have exercised more moderation, and done less slaying.
The imperious March of the Lions by Saint-Saens introduces Ernest Hemingway’s description of breakfast on safari, when he likes to drink an early beer - unless he is hunting lion.
Dickens and Lowry describe in loving and poetic detail, the interior of two drinking establishments – a cosy Thames-side inn where the beer-pulls make low bows to the customers, and a sepulchral Mexican cantina with an intriguing array of barrels; both establishments ruled by powerful women who are in no mood to indulge their male customers. (Dickens’ villainous Riderhood can have but one pint, while Lowry’s unfortunate Consul is left calling plaintively for service.)
Meanwhile, Thomas Arne’s Bacchus raises a glass of wine in song to his beloved, Ariadne, and moving into a more reflective mood, Chinese poet Li Tai Po drinks to the moonlight; the scene is further painted by Debussy’s piano piece “Pagodes”.
Shakespeare’s Falstaff is unequivocal in his praise for “good sherris sack”, as an inspiration and tonic in both love and war; William Walton’s glittering score for Henry V matches the martial vigour of the old soldier. A less edifying effect is felt by Huntingdon’s drinking friend in Anne Brontë’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
Colette’s heroine Claudine becomes light-headed on sparkling Asti in a Parisian cafe, and thinks the room is in “Japanese perspective” - but then she realises that it is her lover who has really intoxicated her.
Ravel’s heady orchestral fantasy La Valse whirls us away to another city and another time – Berlin, the 1930s, New Year’s Eve, and Christopher Isherwood’s narrator is also experiencing some fizz-fuelled euphoria as he watches the dancing merrymakers.
Moving further into the night, Sinatra’s classic recording of One For My Baby is a poetic tale of a lovelorn man, the last drinker at the bar confiding in the bar-tender (“set ’em up, Joe – I got a little story I think you should know…”) – which leads us to Martin Amis’s John Self, who discovers the embarrassment of over-indulgence at a dinner party in New York, when he arrives at his friend’s apartment to find dinner over – and he has forgotten what went on there earlier...
Another American bar-fly, Tom Waits is in a mood to blame anyone and anything but himself for his inebriation, in his song The Piano Has Been Drinking – but Peter Warlock’s Captain Stratton’s Fancy is a carefree, rollicking sailor’s drinking song.
This ushers in two fishing community scenes: a crew of whalers just arrived on shore-leave from a freezing ocean voyage caper wildly at the Spouter Inn, in Moby Dick; while Proulx’s farewell party in a Newfoundland port takes a violent turn.
And finally, as Milhaud’s sinuous score La Creation du Monde evokes a primeval atmosphere, D. H. Lawrence meditates on humanity’s ancient and mysterious relationship with the “tendrilled avenues of wine and the otherworld”.
