Thursday - Sarah Walker with David Hepworth

With Sarah Walker. Including Musical challenge; Music in Time: Liszt: Annees de pelerinage; Artist of the Week: Hakan Hardenberger, featured performing Hummel's Trumpet Concerto.

9am
Sarah sets the tone and mood of the day's programme with a range of music to intrigue, surprise and entertain, and as Radio 3 visits Hull for its Uproot festival, Sarah will also be featuring classical repertoire throughout the week reflecting folk music from around the world.

9.30am
Take part in today's musical challenge and identify the place associated with a well-known work.

10am
Sarah's guest this week is the music journalist and broadcaster David Hepworth. David has launched and written for many of the most successful pop-culture magazines of the past 30 years, including Smash Hits, More, Heat, Q and The Word. He was a presenter of 蜜芽传媒2's The Old Grey Whistle Test and co-presented the 蜜芽传媒's coverage of the global charity concert Live Aid. As well as discussing his life's work and reflecting on popular culture, David also shares his passion for classical music choosing a selection of his favourite works. Across the week we'll hear music by composers including Copland, Walton and Philip Glass.

10.30am
Music in Time: Romantic
Today Sarah's exploring the rise of the travelling virtuoso in the 19th century. Composer and pianist Franz Liszt was the archetype, and his series of suites Les Ann茅es de P茅l猫rinage (The Years of Pilgrimage) capture the years he spent criss-crossing Europe.

Double Take
Sarah explores the nature of performance by highlighting the differences between two interpretations of the aria "Celeste Aida" from Verdi's opera Aida.

11am
Artist of the Week: H氓kan Hardenberger
Sarah's Artist of the Week is the Swedish trumpeter H氓kan Hardenberger. During three decades of performing and recording, he's established a reputation for both virtuosity and versatility. His interpretations of classic repertoire such as the concertos of Haydn and Hummel have become benchmarks for the next generation, and Sarah has selected these alongside Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.2 in F major, widely perceived as one of the most challenging pieces in the trumpet repertoire. But, Hardenberger is also committed to championing contemporary works. Sarah's selections include P盲rt's Concerto Piccolo on B-A-C-H and Takemitsu's Paths - both of which were dedicated to, and premiered by him - as well as H K Gruber's 3 MOB Pieces.
