Afternoon on 3 R

Presented by Petroc Trelawny. Another chance to hear a Prom first broadcast on Saturday September 4. Simon Rattle and his Berlin orchestra play music from the heart of the Austro-German repertoire. The prelude to Wagner's last opera is followed by Richard Strauss's swansong, composed in the 1940s but full of nostalgia for the first Romantic age. The concert also features music from the avant-garde maelstrom of early 20th-century Vienna, as Schoenberg and his pupils Berg and Webern take their cue from the innovations of Wagner, Strauss and Mahler to split traditional tonality at the seams. Karita Mattila (soprano), Berliner Philharmoniker, conductor Simon Rattle. Wagner: Prelude, Act 1: Parsifal. Strauss: Four Last Songs. Webern: Six Pieces for Orchestra, Op 6.

The Glasgow Boys R

Author and comedian AL Kennedy investigates trail-blazing painters the Glasgow Boys, who achieved international fame in the 19th century. Timed to coincide with the first major exhibition of the group's work in a century - opening at Glasgow's Kelvingrove gallery and later transferring to the Royal Academy - this programme explores Scotland's first modern artists. A portrait of a city as much as the painters themselves, Kennedy journey takes her deep into the history and cultural soul of Glasgow. Among others she talks to the Boys' biographer Roger Bilcliffe to establish how the city's low cultural standing galvanised their defiant attitude, a spirit that later inspired Charles Rennie Mackintosh and countless others (Arts Documentary)
