: Private Passions
Veteran Hungarian composer Gyorgy Ligeti is Michael Berkeley's guest. This month he returns to London's SouthBank for the second part of Clocks and Clouds, a three-year retrospective of his work. Persecuted by the Nazis as a young man, Ligeti came to international prominence in the 1960s with works such as Apparitions and Lux Aeterna (memorably used in the soundtrack of Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: a Space Odyssey). His musical private passions provide a fascinating insight into the mind of one of Europe's greatest contemporary composers. Executive producer Wendy Thompson

Janos StarkerIn the course of his long career,
Janos Starker has established himself as one of the world's greatest cellists and finest teachers. In the last of three programmes, Moray Welsh finds out why Starker considers teaching the most important part of his life. Former pupils recount their often frightening experiences, and Starker plays his arrangement of Bottermund's Paganini Variations, Faure's Après un Rêve and Papillon, and two jewels of the repertoire - Haydn's Concerto in D and his latest recording of Bach's Suite No 6 for solo cello.

: Opera on 3
Aleksis KiviA performance of the new opera by Einojuhani Rautavaara based on the life of Finland's first national writer that proved to be the hit of this year's Savonlinna Opera Festival.
Several of Rautavaara's pieces, like Cantus Arcticus and Angel of Light, are achieving cult status, and in this opera he writes continuously grateful vocal lines. It portrays Kivi's decline into alcoholism and schizophrenia in music of consoling tenderness. Sung in Finnish.

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.
