After American soloist Claire Huangci plays Paderewski’s Piano Concerto, there’s Argentinian sunshine courtesy of Piazzolla, performed by multi-award-winning guitarist Miloš Karadaglić. There’s also a stunning performance of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto from Julian Bliss, whose talents extend to instrument design. Other highlights include Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’ symphony performed in full by the London Symphony Orchestra, and British favourites by Holst and Finzi.

Andrew asks where Batman would be without The Joker and, along with The Dark Knight score by Hans Zimmer and James Newton-Howard, he celebrates Alan Rickman's irresistible portrayal of Hans Gruber in Die Hard, with music by Michael Kamen. The showbiz villain Phoenix Buchanan takes to the stage in Paddington 2 scored by Dario Marianelli, and where there's mischief, Gollum is never far away, accompanied by The Lord of the Rings music by Howard Shore. 9pm to 10pm: DAVID MELLOR’S MELODIES David presents a special programme marking the 85th birthday of the conductor Iain Sutherland. Famed for his interpretations of light music, David features some of the Glasgow born maestro’s greatest recordings over his distinguished career, including the overture to the Merry Makers by Eric Coates, and a stirring version of the traditional melody Flower of Scotland. 3 SUNDAY 13TH JUNE 4pm to 7pm: JOHN HUMPHRYS On this day in 1784, Mozart’s student Barbara Ployer was said to have given the first performance of his Piano Concerto No.17 to an audience that included fellow composer Giovanni Paisiello. To mark the anniversary, John features a recording of the opening movement, performed by Angela Hewitt alongside the Orchestra da Camera di Mantova. And with British summertime firmly underway, John includes music that celebrates the countryside at its best, whatever the weather is doing. He includes Ronald Binge’s The Watermill, played by Ruth Scott and the New London Orchestra. 7pm to 9pm: SMOOTH CLASSICS AT SEVEN with CHARLOTTE HAWKINS Charlotte's Young Classical star this week is Segun Akinola, a composer who is fast becoming one to watch in the world of film and television. After initially learning the piano and drums at a young age, Segun turned his attention to composition, graduating from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire with first-class honours. At only 28, he has already scored two feature films, including the Sundance 2019 favourite The Last Tree and he is the current composer for Doctor Who. 9pm to 10pm: CHI-CHI’S CLASSICAL CHAMPIONS (4 / 6) Chi-chi Nwanoku OBE, the renowned double-bass player and Artistic Director of Chineke!, continues her series on Classic FM, celebrating music from a diverse range of composers and musicians. Chi-chi features the composer once described by John Adams, the second president of the USA, as “the most accomplished man in Europe”. Joseph Bologne – known as Chevalier de Saint Georges – was a composer, conductor, violinist and champion fencer! She selects the opening movement of his Violin Concerto No.1. Then, Chi-chi introduces the first African-American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music – George Walke – and plays a work he composed in 1957 as one of the first concertos for the modern trombone. Finally, Chi-chi includes a couple of moving miniatures from a composer born in Chicago in 1913. Margaret Bonds focused on the piano rather than orchestra, as it gave her a better chance of seeing her work performed. Lara Downes plays Tangamerican and Bright Star. 4 MONDAY 14TH JUNE 8pm to 10pm: THE CLASSIC FM CONCERT with JOHN SUCHET: ALBINONI 350 John celebrates Tomaso Albinoni, born 350 years ago on this day in Venice in 1671 to a wealthy paper merchant’s family.

There’s also a sparkling performance of one of his best-known works, his Oboe Concerto in D minor, performed by Albrecht Mayer, and the sinfonia from one of Albinoni’s only two surviving operas. Elsewhere, there’s music by his Italian compatriots, including Verdi, Puccini, and Rossini, and a tribute to the country by Mendelssohn.

  • Broadcasting the Arts: Opera on TV
    Broadcasting the Arts: Opera on TV With onstage guests directors Brian Large and Jonathan Miller & former BBC Head of Music & Arts Humphrey Burton on Wednesday 30 April BFI Southbank’s annual Broadcasting the Arts strand will this year examine Opera on TV; featuring the talents of Maria Callas and Lesley Garrett, and titles such as Don Carlo at Covent Garden (BBC, 1985) and The Mikado (Thames/ENO, 1987), this season will show how television helped to democratise this art form, bringing Opera into homes across the UK and in the process increasing the public’s understanding and appreciation. In the past, television has covered opera in essentially four ways: the live and recorded outside broadcast of a pre-existing operatic production; the adaptation of well-known classical opera for remounting in the TV studio or on location; the very rare commission of operas specifically for television; and the immense contribution from a host of arts documentaries about the world of opera production and the operatic stars that are the motor of the industry. Examples of these different approaches which will be screened in the season range from the David Hockney-designed The Magic Flute (Southern TV/Glyndebourne, 1978) and Luchino Visconti’s stage direction of Don Carlo at Covent Garden (BBC, 1985) to Peter Brook’s critically acclaimed filmed version of The Tragedy of Carmen (Alby Films/CH4, 1983), Jonathan Miller’s The Mikado (Thames/ENO, 1987), starring Lesley Garret and Eric Idle, and ENO’s TV studio remounting of Handel’s Julius Caesar with Dame Janet Baker. Documentaries will round out the experience with a focus on the legendary Maria Callas, featuring rare archive material, and an episode of Monitor with John Schlesinger’s look at an Italian Opera Company (BBC, 1958).

  • Hanukka a MESSAGE from the MILKEN ARCHIVE FOUNDER
    Hanukka A MESSAGE FROM THE MILKEN ARCHIVE FOUNDER Dispersed over the centuries to all corners of the earth, the Jewish people absorbed elements of its host cultures while, miraculously, maintaining its own. As many Jews reconnected in America, escaping persecution and seeking to take part in a visionary democratic society, their experiences found voice in their music. The sacred and secular body of work that has developed over the three centuries since Jews first arrived on these shores provides a powerful means of expressing the multilayered saga of American Jewry. My personal interest in music and deep abiding commitment to synagogue life and the Jewish people united as I developed an increasing appreciation for the quality and tremendous diversity of music written for or inspired by the American Jewish experience. Through discussions with contemporary Jewish composers and performers during the 1980s, I realized that while much of this music had become a vital force in American and world culture, even more music of specifically Jewish content had been created, perhaps performed, and then lost to current and future generations. Believing that there was a unique opportunity to rediscover, preserve, and transmit the collective memory contained within this music, the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music was founded in 1990. This project would unite the Jewish people’s eternal love of music with their commitment to education, a commitment shared by the Milken Family Foundation since our founding in 1982. The passionate collaboration of many distinguished artists, ensembles, and recording producers has created a vast repository of musical resources to educate, entertain, and inspire people of all faiths and cultures.
