conducted by the composer
(first performance in this country)
Goffredo Petrassi , one of Italy's leading composers, is on a visit to this country. and during his stay he will conduct the first performances here of two of his most important works: the Four Sacred Hymns to be heard tonight, and the second Concerto for Orchestra, which will be given at a concert of the London Contemporary Music Centre on May 13 (also to be broadcast in the Third Programme). Two of Petrassi's choral works-Psalm IX and Coro di Morti—have been broadcast in recent years, but this is his first work for solo voices and orchestra to be heard in this country. It was written in 1942; the first two hymns are for tenor, the last two for baritone. D.C.

Extracts from writings on art read by Denis McCarthy
In this talk Herbert Read speaks about art criticism as literature. He suggests that the tradition of art criticism that has prevailed for the last fifty years is no longer applicable to many kinds of contemporary art.

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.
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and
is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to
obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in
programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers,
images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio
Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available
externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
