    Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826)
    Donald Macleod explores Carl Maria von Weber’s city lives and those dramas and scandals survived throughout. Weber’s relationship with European cities mirrored his life and work, from the restless wandering of his earlier years, to the way his life changed after the success of his opera Der Freischütz. And in his final months he travelled to London to compose and produce another major opera, Oberon, but would die after giving its first performances.The young Weber had an unerring ability to cause offence. He got involved in multiple love affairs that caused him problems. He was also very good at racking up debts. These traits unfold as we follow Weber’s picaresque journeys around Europe, flitting from city to city: sometimes chasing opportunities, sometimes in disgrace, at other times escorted away under armed guard.Music Featured: Grande polonaise in E-Flat major, Op 21, J. 59 Der Beherrscher der Geister (Ruler of Spirits), J. 122 Clarinet Quintet in B-Flat major, Op 34, J. 182 (1st mvt) Symphony No. 1 in C Major, Op 19, J. 50 (1st and 2nd mvt) Das Hifthorn schallt, ‘Huntsmen's Chorus’ (Silvana, Act 1) Momento capriccioso, Op 12, J.56 Piano Concerto No 1 in C major, Op 11, J. 98 Clarinet Concertino in C minor / E-Flat major, Op 26, J. 109 Abu Hassan, J. 106 (Overture) Piano Concerto No 2 in E-Flat major, Op 32, J. 155 (2nd and 3rd mvt) 9 Variations on a Russian Theme, "Schöne Minka", Op 40, J. 179 Missa sancta No 1, Op 75, J. 224 (Kyrie and Gloria) Aufforderung zum Tanze, Op 65, J. 260 Der Freischütz, J. 277 (Act 3: Finale) Oberon, J. 306 (Overture) O Araby dear (Oberon, J. 306, Act 3) Piano Sonata No 4 in E minor, Op 70, J. 287 (3rd mvt) Presented by Donald Macleod Produced by Iain Chambers For full track listings, including artist and recording details, and to listen to the pieces featured in full (for 30 days after broadcast) head to the series page for Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001cckhAnd you can delve into the A-Z of all the composers we’ve featured on Composer of the Week here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3cjHdZlXwL7W41XGB77X3S0/composers-a-to-z

    Anton Bruckner (1824-1896)
    This week Donald Macleod lifts the lid on the life and music of Anton Bruckner, focusing upon different themes to better understand both the man and the music.Anton Bruckner was one of the great symphonists, and yet recognition for his talents as a composer came late in life. He was an Austrian by birth, and was noted for his improvisatory skills at the organ. In fact, he received invitations to travel abroad to France and England, where he demonstrated his skills at the organ console. Yet, although as a composer he would become recognised as one of the most innovatory figures of the second half of the 19th century, during his lifetime he was not only plagued by doubt especially made manifest through the harsh reactions of the Viennese music critics, but was also often dubbed a buffoon because of his dress, dialect and mannerisms.

    Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
    Donald Macleod explores the work of Franz Schubert, focusing on five distinct phases in the composer’s life. And afterlife.We start in 1815, the year in which Schubert turned 18 and was a reluctant schoolmaster still living under his father’s roof. Although he was in many ways unhappy and constrained by his circumstances, he was still prodigiously prolific. In the years after 1820, we see him spreading his wings as he’d never been able to do before, enjoying a sense of liberation after being shackled to the schoolroom in his father’s house. In 1824 we see a year of ill-health for Schubert, but also a year of fighting back, with attempted cures and triumphant, ambitious music. In Schubert’s final year – inevitably coloured by sadness, but also by great spirit and tenacity - emerged what is for many people Schubert’s crowning achievement: his song-cycle Winterreise. Schubert died at the age of 31, when most people are just getting going in life – in the same decade as Keats and Byron and Shelley – and he's often thought of, with them, as an exemplar of a kind of doomed romanticism. Central to that is a sense of having been thwarted in life – encapsulated, in Schubert’s case, by the fact that so much of his music was unpublished in his lifetime, so much never even heard. However, in the years after his early death, his music found an audience, including the BBC’s regular ‘Schubert Nights’ in the 1920s.Music Featured: Erlkonig Sonatina for violin and piano No 2 in A minor String Quartet No. 12 Variation on a Waltz by Diabelli (Variation 38) Am See Sei mir gegrüßt, o Sonne! (Alfonso und Estrella, Act 1) Fantasie in C major, “Wanderer” Das Wandern (Die Schone Mullerin, No 1) Des Baches Wiegenlied (Die Schone Mullerin, No 20) Piano Sonata in C major for Four-Hands, "Grand Duo" String Quartet No 13 in A minor, Op 29, "Rosamunde" Arpeggione Sonata in A minor (1st - 2nd mvt) Winterreise 2, No 1: Die Post Winterreise 2, No 7: Tauschung Symphony No 9 in C major, “the Great” (4th mvt) Piano Sonata No 21 in B Flat major (1st mvt) Die Nacht Der Tod und das Mädchen Symphony No 10 (orch.

    Dietrich Buxtehude (c1637 – 1707)
    Donald Macleod explores the life and works of legendary organist and composer Dietrich Buxtehude. Buxtehude was a musical star in his own time, whom Johann Sebastian Bach walked almost 300 miles just to meet and learn from. Yet, the facts of Buxtehude’s own story are far from straight forward. Doubts remain over so many details in the composer’s life. We can’t even be sure when or where he was born, leading to three different countries claiming him as their own, and for a musician who perhaps above all was famed for his organ music, it is remarkable that not one single organ piece by him was published in his lifetime. In this Composer of the Week series, Donald Macleod pieces together what we do know about Buxtehude, the pre-eminant European composer before Bach, and finds a multifaceted personality and ground-breaking musician who worked his way across Europe via three different churches dedicated to St Mary, and who – once he settled in Lubeck - acted as a kind of centre of gravity for other musicians of his age.Music Featured: Praeludium in G minor, BuxWV149 Benedicam Dominum, BuxWV 113 Chaconne in E minor, BuxWV 160 Aperite mihi portas justitiae, BuxWV 7 Sonata in B flat major, BuxWV273 Chorale Prelude 'Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott', BuxWV 184 Att du, Jesu, will mig hora, BuxWV 8; Herren var Gud, BuxWV 40 Prelude in A minor, BuxWV 153; War Gott nicht mit uns diese Zeit, BuxWV 222 Klinget fur Freuden, BuxWV 119 Gott, hilf mir, BuxWV 34 Canzona in C major, BuxWV 166 Harpsichord suite in G major, BuxWV 240 Mein Gemut erfreut sich, BuxWV 72 O frohliche Stunden, o herrlicher Tag, BuxWV 120 Klag-Lied of seven strophes, "MuB der Tod denn auch ent- binden’, BuxWV 76 Wacht!
