Chris de Souza examines Britten'sVariations on a theme of Frank Bridge,
Op 10, with the help of musical examples played by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales conducted by Andrea Quinn. The composition classes which Britten undertook with Frank Bridge arguably influenced the early growth of his style more than anything else and the Variations stand not just as a unique tribute, but also as a fascinating insight into the musical personality of the developing composer. Producer Michael Surcombe. See also Tuesday 7.30pm

Michael Oliver and director David Pountney discuss Verdi's first Shakespearean opera Macbeth, with illustrations from Claudio Abbado 's recording featuringPiero Cappuccilli and Shirley Verrett as the fatally ambitious couple. David Pountney ascribes Macbeth's downfall to an over-vivid imagination and his precipitous reaction to the witches' prophecy of future glory. The character of Lady Macbeth also comes under scrutiny, as her passion for action spurs her husband first to regicide and then to further bloodshed,

By Thomas Mann , dramatised by Olwen Wymark. In 1907, Hans Castorp , a young engineer, travels to a sanatorium in the Alps to visit his tubercular cousin Joachim. Before Hans can leave he is himself diagnosed with TB and ends up staying for seven years. He loses all sense of time and gives himself up to a community with its own rules and morality. During his stayHans falls in love with a beautiful Russian patient, Clavdia, who does not return his love. She leaves the sanatorium and Hans clings to his illness in orderto wait for her return. It is only the imminent threat of the First World War that at last provokes him to return to the life he left so long ago.

Schubert's Unfinished OratorioA performance of Schubert's incomplete oratorio Lazarus. Subtitled The Feast of the Resurrection, this work is a setting of a text by German theologian August Hermann Niemeyerwhich explores the theology of resurrection through the miracle of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Schubert set about half of the text, breaking off at a point in the second of the three acts where Lazarus is carried away for burial. The music unfolds more symphonically than in a traditional oratorio and includes some of Schubert's most personal, dramatic and adventurous inspirations. Introduced by Paul Guinery and Denis McCaldin. Schubert Lazarus (Acts 1 and 2) Netherlands Radio Chorus and Chamber

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.
