A Discussion betweenMr. BEVERLEY NICHOLS and Mr. COMPTON MACKENZIE
' There is nothing good to be had in the country, or, if there be, they will not let you have it '
Hazlitt on Wordsworth's
' Excursion'
ANYONE who is familiar with Mr. Mackenzie's novels will know how well equipped he is to take up the cudgels on behalf of the countryside in this debate : one need only remind listeners, for instance, of Mr. Grey, in ' 'Guy and Pauline,' who was so fond of his garden, and of the wide knowledge shown of butterflies in 'Sinister Street.' As for Mr. Nichols' ability to defend the merits of the town against Mr. Mackenzie's orslaughts, one has only to recall his first book, ' Twenty-Five,' to realize that he will not be at any loss. Another thing of which one can be sure is that the sparks will fly when two such doughty opponents cross swords. Nor, we suspect, need either of them be taken too seriously ; for, in these days, it is fortunately possible for quite a large percentage of us to enjoy, in this matter, the best 01 both worlds.
: An Orchestral Concert
S.B. from CardiffNATIONAL ORCHESTRA OF WALES
(CERDDORFA GENEDLAETHOL CYMRU)
Conducted by WARWICK BRAITHWAITE COMPOSED among tho woodlands of Weber's home in Holstein, his opera Der Freischiitz has always been regarded as a masterpiece. The story tella of an evil spirit which, in exchange for a man's soul, will give him magic bullets which are bound to hit their mark, irrespective of the aim. 'The Seventh Bullet ' was the name given to the opera on its first performance here in London in July, 1824, two years before Weber died.
The Overture is a fine example of Weber'a romantic music, and the supernatural basis of the tale is vividly suggested in the note of foreboding which makes itself heard as an undercurrent to the main joyous tunes.
About this project
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.
