Little bit of it. Do. It and it. The 6th of the Brandenburg Concertos played there by the orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment directed by Monica at 10 past 10 now very interesting addition of building the lobby by the way just listening to that bark Mark louder was comparing recordings of his 7 keyboard concertos and as he did so he explored what it meant in box day when you called a piece a keyboard concerto there were big debates about how big the orchestra might have been Mark asked whether or not there was such a thing as a soloist in box day and also revealed the power that could be had from certain famous harpsichords of the time it's certainly worth listening to if you missed it building a library on record of your radio 3 go to it via the i Player radio not now the WHO because it's time on essential classics to go time traveling today with Dr Bob Nicholson and if you play football at the weekends or maybe you have to stand there on the touchline watching your offspring doing so well think itself lucky that you didn't live in Victorian times when a pair of shin pads were probably no insurance at all what you needed was a newspaper. Last time I injured myself playing football I limped off in search of painkillers in a bag of frozen peas but if I'd been playing way back in 80 nineties I might have looked for relief in a rather different place the latest copy of Pierce's weekly newspaper. Pearson's was a popular penny paper packed with jokes stories and other entertaining tidbits it targeted sport living Victorians with an ingenious promotional scheme if someone had an accident playing football and they owned the latest copy of the paper and they qualified for an insurance payout sprains cuts and bruises weren't serious enough but fractured arms legs and collar bones but all worth a fiver if a player received a more serious on pitch injury and died within 24 hours and they all rather than next of kin received $100.00 pounds worth tens of thousands in today's money it's strange to imagine a time when talking on the pitch was regarded as a realistic possibility for football really was a roof a game back then as one paper put it in 19082 seasons passed by without witnessing one or 2 deaths in 891 for example 15 players were reportedly killed and dozens more suffered fractures and concussions debates raged about the game's dangers and many Victorians argued that rough play must be suppressed so long as it didn't destroy the crew manliness of the game or undermined the vigor and nerve upon which the progress of the English race is founded the dangers of football even the subject of Victorian jokes in one man pulled from the wreckage of a railway crash is asked how he feels he replies No right old chap you see I'm used to this kind of thing I'm a football player these days we joke more about pampered Premier League stars and theatrical on pitch diving and maybe the modern game has gotten softer since the Victorian era but all things considered it's probably no bad thing. Now as a piece of music with some heritage the theme tune to sports report which has been broadcast every week on the B.B.C. Before we go around the grounds since the program began in 1948 piece of music actually called out of the blue. Presumably then on the head and he waited days trying to travel or was Nicholson and you'll be pleased to know that no one was actually injured in the making of that particular feature truckin said the same for all glorious came this morning though it's the challenge of building the essential classics playlist and where looking back on a life lived by and hosts are. Most certainly the life as far as he's concerned some pretty tall stories from Harry Janish That's the Internet so from MCO dies sweet Yvonne Fishman the Budapest Festival Orchestra playing it there are lots of ideas as to what might work next to its pull a Preston In 100 no junction overlooking the river Conwy What about the overjoyed to gadfly both are present about an adventure and the pace of the beat is suggestive of the drama too says Paula and the baker says Have a listen to can you sense a lot in incidental music his oriental festive March that's rather a good follow on piece and Hazel Smith on the banks of another river Hay on Wye Now there's a place to be how about the Kleins that aria from the Tales of Hoffmann that would work well in it next to Harry and I wish very nice text from somebody who's I don't know have that got a name here I have a student taking her grade 5 associated board violin exam next month and the codeine is the final piece of 3 always followed by scales and arpeggios So how how about a few of those dear text thank you very much for that suggestion one more from Graham applique the skeptical husky as he's known on Twitter presumably in Innuit circles I think a good follow on from the care I would be the waltz from Catch a jury and masquerade suites but maybe that's just nice as GRAHAM Well that's who we want to hear from thank you for adding to the possibilities we'll compare and contrast and we'll weigh up the mix from 1030. Have. A. Cool. Wonderful 2nd movement of the Violin Concerto Number 2 bad for coffee half with a dream team performing at least was the soloist the Chamber Orchestra of Europe was conducted by Yannick. Radio three's live at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden tonight not though for an opera it's a performance by the Royal Opera Chorus an orchestra of that is very operatic Requiem you can hear it at half past 7 this evening so I thought we could hear some more of that in now that was reused for something other than an opera Verdi arranged by says Charles Mackerras in order to create his ballet called The Lady and the fool. With. . The the. The story of a sad clown madly in love with a beautiful woman who against all the odds chooses him over her many glamorous suitors music by that he taken by Charles Mackerras to create a ballet in the 1950 S. Called the lady before and Charles Mackerras conducting the L.P.'s on that recording Well we're spinning a yarn or 2 where an hour ago on the program and I launched our search for your musical possibilities this morning by suggesting the 1st piece on today's play list which was this. Is the music by CO dive from his suite all about Harry young our show spins a few tall tales about his time in the army that's got lots of people making lots of different suggestions this morning Philip Glasgow in Canterbury listening to the pulse of the codeine he says How about the 3rd Man theme with its wonderful zoo the part it's a movie all about Broken Dreams says Philip That's an idea a nice idea Pat Staplehurst in Aberdeen says she 1st heard that music at her very 1st classical concerts then she bought the record and on the B. Side was found the bagpiper by fine bagger that seemed to good for one piece then and it still does well Pat that goes into the mix so I must say we've had the overwhelming number of ideas today for the same piece you all suggest something from a film score Mike Garnett in right in to the north of Oldham is one of those How about something from Perkoff you have slept tenant kishi in Bloomsbury he thinks maybe the drunken passage would hurt rather well David eager on the Lower East Side of England as he puts it justifies it by saying the both a splendid characters and make us believe in fantastical lives lots of suggestions for Bamford in Ross on why Mary and Jane in Edinburgh Susan's engine says that at least he also gets to enjoy fun in a troika before his fictional funeral indeed Susan so we'll have a ride ourselves in that Troika but we're preceded by the fictitious wedding of left and 1st both pieces played by the Los Angeles Film monocoque a strike conducted by Andre Previn.

Doesn't exist music by Perkoff you have written originally for the film of that story the 1st of the pieces I'm choosing from your suggestions as to a companion piece on the essential classics playlist this morning after Co dies Harry Janish Sweet thanks for your terrific response today lots of people suggesting that music soup lacking York in phones and in Huns didn't flip in. And part similar in Helensburgh amongst many others as well the music next already a 3 by an 18 year old really belongs a Janine young and the pinnace into Margolin play her wistful Nocturne.

Death and so we have the spotlight on her most of this yet plenty of music to discover for it now a big question his on the horizon this Saturday on Radio 3. Would you deny love for power. Gongs Giants dwarves and met by for control and Van epic ring cycle so Antonio conducts a star studded cast at the wrong office. In the ring on B.B.C. Radio 3 listen and fall for office in the coming weeks beginning with just fine go on Saturday evening at 7. It's essential classics this Tuesday morning it's he and Scully here with the music canned my guest in the next 5 minutes the poet and writer Ruth Pradelle revealing the next of her big inspirations in life and today it's another poet although one on the face of it who is very different to Ruth as you hear me them both after King heads out in disguise on the hunt for a suitable subject to execute as a birthday treat as the unlikely start to a comic opera with music by chaperone. They have. A play by the Swiss Ramond orchestra and conducted on that recording vine name yet so then as I say to my guest again this week the poets Ruth Pradelle whose cultural inspiration for many a year has been a fellow poet Emily Dickinson a great inspiration to her in fact which rather intrigued me when he met him because Ruth herself is a very keen traveller whereas Emily Dickinson really went anywhere. Well she moves so far and fast in her poetry metaphors are amazing this is the bleeps of of thought and image and maybe that's why I took her with me because I took it with me on my tiger journey so I like to learn poetry and say to myself There's a poem of hers about the leopard up was the closest I could get to a tiger and I was in Sumatra the scariest forest really was and so much of that everything's violent there the vegetation is violent you know and in Laois you could hang on to the violence but here and so much that you had sort of prickly vines that were poisonous if you touch them and they might be a sort of Viper on them anyway. It was quite scary but I said this to myself as I was going down and I realize I thought what those mysterious dashes in Emily's poems are there the moments when you pause for a hot hot so there was a poem I kept saying to myself I was pretty damn scared when we were we were just coming down from the high trails the ridges where the tigers used and it was getting dark and you don't want to hang around it like a forest after dark and we've lost our way so we were swishing through this horrible 2nd tree forest sort of sliding on our bottoms and hoping there weren't any Cobras around civilizations spurns the leopard That's the 1st line of it and then there's a dash and then I would just look for the next hand hold of foot hold was the leopard boat each time there was a dash I try hard to hold a foothold and I went on again and I thought that's what she's doing that's why there's that isn't there because she does as I say travels so fast it's almost like space travel in her thought that she has to make a dash or a little pause before she leaps it is extraordinary because she lived towards the end of her life a very isolated life indeed So where do you suppose all of this came from coming can you imagine writing in such isolation or do you need the inspiration of the world around you I do need I like you know particularly with nature and science and so on but I think for me poetry comes out of life of course it also comes out of reading and you're caught I'm constantly reading like bringing Emily with me but I also like to engage in life and speak to it. When you were in some outer searching for the Tigers was perjury coming to you in that situation was it just terrifying that we did actually at one point I was going over a mountain range in the garden is something fell out of the car maybe to get books or something on this mountain road so we had to wait for hours and hours and they were there with snakes coming across so I got out some Chinese poetry about tigers that had been done on Chinese paintings the Tigers and I started to mess around with it and actually that became a whole sequence in the book I was writing then the Soho Leopard which was very much about tigers and also conservation of the forests and yes I mean did you see tigers because they're pretty loose and I saw something I saw some Let's have an amazing presence yes they do it rather depends where you are if you're on foot they can be quite scary if you're in a jeep in a sort of well run park it's usually all right the 1st one I saw I was on an elephant and all that's usually all right but I can't charge the elephant and you might fall off the elephant so there's always something can go wrong but they are an amazing presence and you feel sort of very strange in their presence. The in. The in. The you. The in.
