Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 - 1958)
Vaughan Williams in the 1920s
Widespread misconceptions surround Vaughan Williams and his music. The most commonplace images suggest a tweedy old gent, absorbed by a water-colourist's eye for the gentle beauty of the English landscape. Yet works such as Flos Campi, which are superficially pastoral, are in fact suffused with the ardent longing of the Song of Songs; while Sancta Civitas, Vaughan Williams' only oratorio, was premiered during the General Strike of 1926, and can easily be read as a fervent appeal for a more humane civil society.
Donald Macleod discusses these works, assessing their stature in the outstanding canon of works Vaughan Williams composed in the 1920s.

Handel's Belshazzar
16 June 2005 - complete performance
One of Handel's finest, but least-performed oratorios: Belshazzar is a work on an imposing scale - dramatic, passionate, full of fine choruses and solos, and a piece which Handel himself described as very grand and uncommon. Catherine Bott introduces this performance, recorded a few days ago at London's Cadogan Hall.

Hector Berlioz (1803-1869)
Berlioz the Opera Composer
Donald Macleod and Berlioz authority David Cairns turn their attention to Berlioz's operatic output. Between about 1836 and 1862 Berlioz produced three works. The comic-operas Benvenuto Cellini, an adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing, Béatrice et Benedict, and The Trojans, which was inspired by Berlioz's childhood passion for Virgil.
