Geoffrey Smith's Jazz
Geoffrey Smith's Jazz does exactly what it says on the tin: a weekly programme in which Geoffrey Smith shares his love of jazz, through an exploration of its great writers, singers and players, as told from his own individual perspective.
Each programme take us through his personally-selected playlist of tracks. It's loosely-themed; maybe a great artist, a jazz style or something more off-the-wall. But that serves as just the start of a fascinating journey to the heart of the music Geoffrey is so passionate about.

Private Passions
Guests from all walks of life discuss their musical loves and hates.

Stephen Poliakoff

Stephen Poliakoff made his mark as a playwright very early; he began writing plays as a schoolboy and got first review in The Times when he was only seventeen. At the age of twenty-four he became writer in residence at the National Theatre and he's also written for the RSC. But it's as a television scriptwriter and director that Poliakoff is now best-known, with series such as "Shooting the Past", "Dancing on the Edge" and recently, "Close to the Enemy". Some of our very greatest actors - Maggie Smith, Lindsey Duncan, Timothy Spall - have queued up to work with him time and again. There have been nineteen television dramas and films to date, broadcast over the last forty years, and though they all have different settings, there's a strong atmosphere in common. Filmed in strange dream-like locations - old train carriages, empty country houses, abandoned ballrooms - they explore how the past haunts the present. And in particular, family secrets.

Poliakoff claims that every family has at least three good stories in it; and his certainly has more than its fair share. In Private Passions he tells Michael Berkeley about how his father witnessed the Russian Revolution as a boy, and reflects on the influence of Russian culture on his childhood. He talks too about the importance of trying to observe life with the fresh curiosity of a child, and how his films capture a child's-eye view.

Music choices include Mozart's Concerto for Flute and Harp; Bach's Cantata "O Jesu Christ, mein Lebens Licht"; Haydn's Symphony No 49 and Michael Tippett's Concerto for Double String Orchestra.

Mindfulness and 'I': the sense of self
Sun 24 Sep 2017
17:30
BBC Radio 3
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b095q2xc
Poetry, prose and music reflecting on the meaning of our existence. This edition takes you through an imagined mindfulness session, opening up a path of self-awareness. The programme flows as a carefully driven stream of consciousness, but also aims to place the listener in a pre-meditative state. it's a personal journey into your inner-self so the texts mostly an explore the first person, mirroring ordinary human interaction, through feelings like love and anguish, whilst also revealing deeply felt responses to our everyday contact with the outer world, with nature and our environment.
Prose and verse, read by Aiysha Hart and Jonathan Aris, come from writers and thinkers from both East and West, ancient and new, such as Hermann Hesse, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, George Eliot, Octavio Paz, W.B. Yeats, Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Stuart Mill, Jorge Luis Borges, T.S. Eliot, Rabindranath Tagore, Carl Jung, as well as traditional Chinese poets, among them Du Fu and Li Po.

Producer's Note
The notion of “mindfulness”, a simple form of ancient meditation, has taken the West by surprise – it seems to be everywhere these days. You will probably have encountered it in magazines, on training courses and all over the internet. In this programme I’d like to take you on an imaginary mindfulness journey, an audio-session of sorts reflecting on the meaning of our existence… So relax and let the readings and the music ‘be’, as they transform themselves into a carefully driven stream of consciousness, opening up a path of self-awareness, placing you in a pre-meditative state

Prose and verse, read by actors Aiysha Hart and Jonathan Aris, come from writers and thinkers from both East and West, ancient and modern, such as Hermann Hesse, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, George Eliot, Octavio Paz, W.B. Yeats, Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Stuart Mill, Jorge Luis Borges, T.S. Eliot, Rabindranath Tagore, Carl Jung, as well as traditional Chinese poets, among them Du Fu and Li Po.

Most of the texts explore the first person, mirroring ordinary human interaction, through feelings like love and anguish, whilst also revealing deeply felt responses to our everyday contact with the outer world, with nature and our environment.

Our journey starts with an affirmation of the sense of self, the central focus of this exploration. Then, a number of texts underline the need for us to look inside, within ourselves, for answers to attain wholeness. Key to this spiritual exploration is our contact with nature – and nature is a relevant part of our journey, as you’ll hear! This interaction with our environment then leads us to ponder the role of time - time past, time present, time future - in this exploration of our inner-selves. As we conclude that ‘we are time’, our path reaches a moment of self-doubt and anxiety – but it’s just a minor, and even an expected blip in our cruise, as the affirmation of ‘I’, of the sense of self, soon shines again redirecting us onto the right path: our final, exulting end!

Music as always plays an integral part on a journey as complex as this... Sometimes it contributes to enlighten the path, punctuating it, like when we hear Richard Strauss’ ‘An Alpine Symphony’ illustrating John Stuart Mill’s quotation about the importance of ‘solitude in the presence of natural beauty and grandeur’, or again when I use a composition by Ravi Shankar for violin and sitar, a meeting of East and West, emphasising the message of Walt Whitman’s poem describing his journey in search of existential answers. Sometimes the music just adds colour and texture, as with Max Richter’s incredibly touching string-piece ‘On the Nature of Daylight’; there’s also the apparent simplicity of ‘Offering Chant’, featuring the voice of Lama Gyurme, a Buddhist Bhutanese monk, accompanied on the piano by Jean-Philippe Rykiel; also, sometimes music adds hidden messages of sorts, for instance when I use Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, which bookends the programme jumping from its first to its last movement: I regard Beethoven as one of the most self-centred and navel-gazing of all Classical Music composers – a central theme of the programme. Other hidden messages include the use of a transcription for piano of the conclusion of Philip Glassopera ‘Satyagraha’, which is an inner reflection on Mahatma Gandhi, its central character, a profound thinker who used meditation and contemplation throughout his life to attain spiritual enlightenment. Water is the hidden message in Liszt’s ‘Jeux d’eaux a la Villa d’Este’, portraying the sound of fountains in a Roman courtyard, accompanying an ancient Chinese text describing how life, with its streaming, transforms us into ‘a river flowing deeper and stronger’… Stravinsky’s Tango is another rather cheeky nod towards another hidden message, as we hear a poem by the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, a master of symbols, enigmas and riddles – always as big as the meaning of our own existence.
