Sound Frontiers: Monday - Sarah Walker with John Finnemore
Live from London's Southbank Centre. With My Favourite Contemporary Choral Music; Britten cabaret songs; Artist of the Week: Andrew Manze, featured in Bach: Double Violin Concerto.
9am
My favourite... contemporary choral music. Sarah shares a selection of contemporary choral works that are ear catching, innovative and often very beautiful. Sarah has long had a soft spot for this repertoire and throughout the week she seeks out some of her favourite pieces by composers including Gabriel Jackson, Judith Weir, Eriks E拧envalds and Antony Pitts. You'll be signing up to your local choir in no time.

Sarah's guest is the writer and comedian John Finnemore. John is best known for writing and starring in the multi-award winning Radio 4 sitcom Cabin Pressure, and for his radio sketch show John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme. He has written for other comedy shows including That Mitchell and Webb Look, Dead Ringers, The Now Show and The Unbelievable Truth, and has also appeared as a panelist on shows including Just a Minute and The News Quiz. John will be talking music, comedy and wordplay every day at 10am, and sharing a selection of his favourite classical works, including Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen and Mozart's Bassoon Concerto. And on Friday, as part of Radio 3's 70th anniversary celebrations, John and friends will be performing a specially written musical sketch show live in the Radio 3 pop-up studio at Southbank Centre, London.
10.30am
Music in Time: Modern
Sarah places Music in Time, looking at the blurring of musical boundaries in the 20th century. Benjamin Britten was just one of a number of composers who looked to music from popular idioms as the basis for their works. Sarah shares a few of Britten's witty and exuberant cabaret songs.
11am
Sarah's Artist of the Week is the violinist and conductor Andrew Manze, who has been called "the first modern superstar of the baroque violin". Sarah explores some of Manze's finest recordings of works by composers including Biber and J.S. Bach, featuring the two groups with which he's most closely associated, the Academy of Ancient Music and The English Concert. Beyond the baroque, Sarah will also share some of Manze's work as a conductor, including his recent collaboration with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and his recording of the complete cycle of symphonies by Vaughan Williams.
