: Composer of the Week: Rachmaninov
5/5. Life in Exile. With Donald Macleod. Although Rachmaninov's life in exile was self-imposed he kept in touch with artistic developments in Russia. He was careful to avoid making any political comments aboutthe regime back home, but in January 1931 he was a joint signatory along with two academics of a letterto The New York Times condemning the Soviet authorities' attitude to education and taking them to task over other social issues. The result was a ban in Russia on the study and performance of Rachmaninov's music that wasn't lifted until 1934. Nonetheless, he remained Russian in spirit and created his own version of his homeland wherever he lived.The Migrant Wind, Op 32 No 5 Joan Rodgers (soprano), Howard Shelley (piano)

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.
