Michael Garrick

BBC Radio 3
Archive interview in which pianist and composer Michael Garrick reviews his work in jazz.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sbvh6
PIanist Michael Garrick died in November 2011. In this archive interview, he joins Alyn Shipton to look back over a fifty year span of some of the finest big band and small group records in British jazz.

Whether inspired by Hobbits, Thomas Hardy or J M Barrie, Garrick's musical settings were some of the most imaginative and colourful in jazz. His music took inspiration from a huge variety of sources, ranging from Indian and Burmese music and literature to English folksongs and novels. A brilliant pianist, Garrick was also known for his pioneering work with Don Rendell and Ian Carr, for his poetry and jazz sessions, and for continuing to lead groups large and small against all commercial odds for over half a century.

Kirsty Young explores the choices of the foreign correspondent in the last of a series featuring some of the UK's foremost journalists.

Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the journalist Robert Fisk. He is one of our most distinguished foreign correspondents and has spent his life covering conflicts around the world - the past 30 years immersed in the life and politics of the Middle East. He formed his ambition at a young age - he saw Hitchcock's film Foreign Correspondent when he was just 12 years old and was determined to join their ranks. War, too, was a strong influence - his father had fought on the Western Front and was haunted by his experiences. He insisted that young Robert should learn about the war and his first foreign holiday was a tour of the Somme.

He has become used to living in a war zone - he has escaped a kidnap attempt, survived an attack by Afghan refugees and risked his life to secure interviews of which other journalists dream. Perhaps his greatest scoop was securing a series of face-to-face interviews with Osama Bin Laden.

Words and music on the theme of power, with readings by Sheila Hancock and Tom Hollander.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00n6tl5
A sequence of poetry, prose and music on the theme of power, with readings by Sheila Hancock and Tom Hollander.

With poems from Percy Shelley, Ted Hughes, Rudyard Kipling and Margaret Atwood, as well as music by Prokofiev, Ligeti and Handel.

Please note this programme contains strong language.

Producer Note
How real is power? When is it imagined and when is it true? Who or what has power over us, our actions, our minds, bodies and spirit?

From the might of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana and speeches from at times once extraordinarily powerful Prime Ministers, via the cataclysmic Jonchaies by Xenakis and Black Sabbath’s The Illusion of Power to Durufle’s setting of Gregorian Chant, Tantum Ergo, venerating the power of the Blessed Sacrament, the first five minutes of this sequence of Words and Music presents authority, control, influence and power in many of its forms.

MacDougall’s Gathering is a piobaireachd arranged for viola and bronze age horns, and usually played on bagpipes to gather one of the oldest truly Celtic Clans. An incredibly powerful summoning of clan members from across the highlands around Oban.

The energy of Mosolov’s Iron Foundry is followed by Kit Wright’s Ode to Didcot Power Station. Wright says that if he was going to have an ode, “why not go the whole hog and pull out all the stops with ‘thee’s and ‘thou’s and fairly antiquated language.”

Sibelius stood in his living room looking out over Lake Tuusula watching swans circle his house and which then ‘disappeared into the solar haze like a gleaming silver ribbon’. He transformed their flight and movement into the finale of his fifth symphony. The musicologist Donald Francis Tovey compared the ‘swan theme’ to the Norse god Thor swinging his hammer.

Jennifer Rush’s power ballad, The Power of Love was originally on the playlist for this sequence, however, it just wouldn’t fit, so on the back of the celebration of the power of love in Out of the Shadows we have Percy Grainger’s The Power of Love. Not quite the same, but it certainly does the job.

Moving slowly and brutally from love through the physical violation of Margaret Atwood’s poem to Philip Larkin’s Toads - a study of the power work has over us, and our need to find employment, rather than our desire.

Shostakovich appears twice in the programme. The composer of some of the most despairing music written, he was a man who knew the influence authority and the state could have on a person. The sequence exploring war and nuclear apocalypse is introduced by his 8th Quartet. It is dedicated "to the victims of fascism and war" – some say this is a reference to the victims of totalitarianism, while others suggest the dedication was imposed by the authorities. It has also been reported that Shostakovich thought of the work as his epitaph and that he planned to commit suicide around this time. The programme draws to a close with his last symphony. The final movement is equally as dark as the quartet. Shostakovich was fascinated by time and clocks – his flat in Moscow is still home to many of his clocks. The ticking of the percussion brings the symphony’s ghostly coda to a close. Could the thing that has the greatest power over us be time?
