: Composer of the Week: Tchaikovsky
As the extraordinary correspondence with Nadezhda von Meek continues, Tchaikovsky realises that their relationship is all the better because they have never met. He is emerging from the nightmare of his marriage, but attempts to secure a quick divorce are thwarted by the martyred attitude of his wife. He still believes in his own work as a composer, but why are his friends so reluctant to acclaim his music? He longs to return to Russia but can hardly face meeting anyone. With excerpts from the opening scenes of SleepingBeauty played by the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, conductor Mark Ermier. Repeated Thursday 2 January 11.30pm

This performance of the opera was given last year in the GrossesFestspielhaus, Salzburg, as part of the Salzburg Festival.

: The Life and Times of the Symphony
Stephen Johnson traces the evolution of the symphony. 4: Mahler and SibeliusMahler and Sibelius seem to represent opposite poles of the symphony. For Mahler, the work represented his most personal feelings - in his third, "the whole of nature finds a voice". Sibelius's symphonies defy any easy categorisation - his seventh is the ultimate in symphonic logic, one tightly constructed and concise movement. Paul Banks and Robert
Layton discuss the differences between the two and the significance of their famous meeting in Helsinki.

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.
