Michael Berkeley's guest is South African-born actress Janet Suzman.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rl2j3
Michael Berkeley's guest is the South African-born actress Dame Janet Suzman, who has lived in London since 1959. She began her distinguished stage career with the RSC, where she has played many of the Shakespearean heroines, including Portia, Ophelia, Kate, Beatrice, Celia, Rosalind, and a much-acclaimed Cleopatra. She has also appeared on stage in plays by Ibsen, Chekhov, Marlowe, Racine and Brecht, as well as in contemporary drama by Pinter, Harwood and others, and in TV dramas such as Dennis Potter's 'The Singing Detective'. In 1971 she appeared as the Empress Alexandra in the film 'Nicholas and Alexandra', and was nominated for an Academy Award, a BAFTA and the Golden Globe. Other major film appearances have included 'A Day in the Death of Joe Egg', opposite Alan Bates, Frieda Lawrence in 'Priest of Love', and Peter Greenaway's 'The Draughtsman's Contract'. She is a great lover of the Baroque period, reflected in her music choices for Private Passions.

Words and Music

Tears, Idle Tears
Sun 31 Mar 2013
18:30
BBC Radio 3
Texts and music on the theme of tears, with readings by Samantha Bond and Samuel Barnett.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rp5b7
This words and music is about tears and weeping.
Music is, famously, the art form most likely to make people cry. Tolstoy is said to have wept at Tchaikovsky's String Quartet Number 1 and Mozart himself, on his death bed, broke off writing his Requiem at the Lacrimosa to weep. That is, at least according to one source.
Tales of great weeping are the stuff of legend. Sorrowful Niobe is so drained by her lamentations and grieving that she is transformed into a great, dry mountain and Lamia, here in Keat's version, is made monstrous by grief. Like Medea in the Greek and La Llorona, the child-eating weeping woman of Mexico, the figure of the woman so bereft she becomes terrible and terrifying is common to many stories and cultures.
For Elizabeth Barrett Browning grief is passionless: only those with hope can weep. The melancholic protagonist in Schubert's Winterreise finds his tears are frozen despite the burning passion in his heart and Mary Barnard's cool princesses adorn themselves with reasonable tears like bright ice jewels.
Lovers' tears lace the centuries: Desdemona remembers and sings a sad song of Willow, F Scott Fitzgerald's partygoer sails her sobs on a sea of champagne, the Anglo Saxon voice wails for her Wulf, and Julie London conjures a salt river of loss.
The tears of children and about children can seem puzzling. Gerard Manley Hopkins and Walt Whitman imagine the crying children of their poems to be somehow unsure of the source of their tears. Whitman offers reassurance in the nightly rebirth of the planets and stars whilst Hopkins gives a glimpse of the child's future and her understanding that to be human is to weep.
Producer: Natalie Steed.
