Historian Tristram Hunt explores how Elgar's music articulated the notion of British Empire, its triumph and its decline, a somewhat controversial aspect of the composer's work as many feel his music is somehow tainted by its association with imperialist aims and ideals. This documentary presents contrasting views about Elgar and Empire from historians Jeffrey Richards , John Mackenzie and Bernard Porter , and from pianist David Owen Norris and conductor Mark Elder.

EcstasyA sequence of music and poetry evoking states of rapture. Religious ecstasy is explored through poems by John Donne and George Herbert , and in music by Messiaen and Carver. The Romantic obsession with the mind-altering power of the outdoor world is reflected in works by Wordsworth and Schubert. Musical evocations of ecstatic feelings include works by Scriabin and Thomas Ades , while Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson provide a poetic depiction of the elation felt by lovers.

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.
