There is little doubt that during his lifetime MacDowell was over-rated, but now the pendulum of opinion has swung far too much the other way, which is due to the fact that Romanticism is at present out of fashion. Edward MacDowell was born at New York in 1861 and died there in 1908. He studied in France and Germany, and in the latter country spent a few years teaching the pianoforte at Darmstadt Conservatoire and elsewhere, and made quite a success as a composer. On his return to New York he was appointed Professor of Music at Columbia University. MacDowell's range of composition was wide, since he wrote symphonic poems, concertos, orchestral suites, choral works, sonatas, and a great number of smaller pieces and songs. It is as a miniaturist that MacDowell showed himself to be a master: polished workmanship, richness of invention, and genuine poetic sense are the hall-mark of his pianoforte pieces and songs. It is worthy of note that MacDowell was the first American composer and virtuoso to win international recognition of a high order.

(Shipping Forecast at 11.0)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.
