MARK RAPHAEL (Baritone)
SCHUBERT'S wonderful gift of melody found its most natural expression in his songs, of which he wrote over six hundred. He seemed to lay hold, with almost unfailing insight and clear purpose, of the various types of emotion and thought in the poems he set, and to choose for each the perfectly appropriate musical expression.
The Serenade is one of the loveliest of all such tender greetings. The other Schubert song comes from the cycle entitled The Fair of the Mill, settings of poems by Wilhelm. A miller's apprentice goes off to see the world. Whither ? is the question he puts to a brooklet beside which he takes his way. 'You will find your mill to turn, some day,' is his reflection, and. I'll iind my work waiting for me too.'
Du bist wie eine Blume is from the cycle Myrthen (Myrtles), an offering to Schumann's betrothed. It is just a moment of sweet. musing upon one who is pure and fair, whose beauty arouses sweet sadness in the heart.
Ich grolle nicht (from the cycle
Dichterliebe—The Poet's Love) is the port's lament. The loved one is lost, and his heart is broken, but he will not murmur at the blow.
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed
in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC
programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC
programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement
with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search
function to find
thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available
to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a
historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any
given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the
understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time
- not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and
50s, you can navigate by issue.
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and
is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to
obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in
programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers,
images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio
Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available
externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
