A twice-weekly survey of current affairsSpeakers in the studio in London and from regional and overseas centres contribute news and views on the issues of today and tomorrow
: THE FRIDAY RECITAL
Alicia de Larrocha (piano)Granados's ' Goyescas,' a set of twelve piano pieces from which the composer later made an opera, were inspired by the paintings and tapestries of the Spanish painter, Goya, 'El amor y la muerte' (Love and Death), the fifth piece in the series, corresponds to the moment in the opera where Rosario holds the dying Fernando in her arms.
Isaac Albeniz, a contemporary of Granados, and a pupil of Liszt, was primarily a composer of piano music, his most important work being Iberia, a collection of pieces which reflected the style of popular music in different parts of Spain, particularly Andalucia. 'Navarra,' his last work for piano, he never lived to finish; it was completed by the French composer Deodat de Severac. Julian Budden

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.
