FRI 19:00 Performance on 3 (b00wbnzg) Royal Liverpool Philharmomic - Fairytale Music

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Once upon a time...composers Ravel, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky all set enchanting fairy-tale stories to music. Originally a set of piano pieces for children - Ravel's Mother Goose was re-worked as a ballet where we meet everyone from Sleeping Beauty and Tom Thumb through to Beauty and the Beast. Two Russian ballets complete the programme with Prokofiev's witty take on the Cinderella story followed by music from perhaps the most famous ballet of all - Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker where the magic happens around the Christmas Tree on Christmas Eve. The handsome young prince from a far off land - Vassily Petrenko - conducts. Recorded at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on Wednesday.

Ravel - Mother Goose Suite Prokofiev - Cinderella Tchaikovsky - Act II of The Nutcracker

Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra Vassily Petrenko (conductor).

Ian McMillan presents Radio 3's cabaret of the word live from the Radio Theatre. He's joined by the doyenne of traditional music June Tabor. As an interpreter of song and a former librarian June Tabor has always said that the words are as important to her as the music. For The Verb she'll be performing work from her new album. And, Tom McCarthy, the writer and conceptual artist, introduces a new radio poem using techniques which inspired him to write his Man Booker shortlisted novel 'C'. The American poet Charles Olsen was born 100 years ago. Iain Sinclair presents a beginner's guide to this difficult, influential wordsmith.

FRI 23:00 The Essay (b00rd91h) Karachi Postcards

Departure, But First a Feast...

The London based novelist Kamila Shamsie returns to her city of birth every winter, and this time decides to explore it properly:

5. Departure, but first a feast... Producer Duncan Minshull

"Each time I visit Karachi there is a particular strangeness that accompanies me... invisible to x-ray machines... undetected by sniffer dogs. It is the strangeness of returning."

London based novelist Kamila Shamsie returns to Karachi every January to see her family and old friends. But it's not where she lives anymore, so it has a fresh and often surprising quality to it. Over five 'postcards' for The Essay, she explores the city of her birth in this uncertain and often intriguing light.

It's nearly time to return to London. It's late February. And to mark the event a ritual takes place. Off Kamila goes with friends to the Bunns Road, which is renowned for its amazing eateries. A last supper awaits, in all its delicious glory...
