In October 1939, Myra Hess began a series of daily chamber-music concerts at the National Gallery which continued throughout the War. In this five-part series, Robert Philip traces the history of the concerts, and plays recordings of those that took part.Today's progarmme includes Myra Hess playing the first movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata in F minor, Op 57 (Appassionata) and the Scherzo from Brahms's Piano Quintet in F minor, Op 34 with the Griller Quartet. With the voices of Howard Ferguson, Sir Kenneth Clark and Myra Hess herself.

Playtime 2.15 Time to Move 2.35 Listen!: The Forties: The USA in the 1940s
Appalachian Spring and Music for the Movies rubbed shoulders with musicals like Rogers and Hammerstein's South Pacific.The influence of the European avant-garde on a group of musical theorists armed with computers contrasted sharply with the home-grown modernism of Elliott Carter. Sue Knussen talks to Elliott Carter and Milton Babbitt - two of the major players in the musical world of 1940s America - and introduces music from across the entire spectrum.

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.
