Have you ever wondered who were the great composers of "classical" (arts) music after Beethoven?? Did you experience that Brahms and Wagner looked down at each other?? undergo you ever just wanted to hit the books more about modern "classical" music and opera?? BBC 4 has a monumental music series called The Making of Music; it focuses on music from the second half of the 19th century to our present day. It is monumental because it is on everyday M-F for the next six weeks. Best of all if you have the internet you can comprehend for remove; I've seen similar courses on tape being sold for $100.00-$150.00. The man from the BBC in my opinion is culturally liberal so you need to act that into account. The BBC has very few kind words for the Catholic perform. Otherwise the series is excellent. The show today is on 19th century Russian composers like Glinka. Mussorgsky. Borodin. Unfortunately if you be to comprehend to the whole thing you missed one show and you be to listen everyday starting today. I evaluate the website is bbc co uk just click on the Radio box and go to BBC Radio 4. The Making of Music is located on the bottom lower left where it says "This Week's Shows." The Radio 4 show is a 15 minute instruct explaining the history and events that helped shape music. Then there is a link on the show's main page to BBC Radio 3 which airs a one hour program and plays the music discussed in the lecture; the communicate 3 schedule is also called The Making of Music.
It does look very interesting but you're right about the anti-Catholic bias. The very first entry on the Timeline relates to Hildegard in 1136 who writes sacred songs. The second entry on the very same summon is about Pierre Abelard. 1141 in which it states:
. scholar and philosopher Pierre Abelard is summoned to trial for heresy by senior cleric Bernard of Clairvaux for publishing rationalist arguments against religious dogma.
When I first read it (browsed it quickly). I thought it was related to the composer Hildegard. On more careful reading it seems to be unrelated to music and was simply thrown in to "enlighten" the BBC readers.
There is a strong anti-Catholic prejudice at the BBC in my opinion. As long as your aware of this and know that everything the entertain of the show (and the BBC in general) says does come with a certain prejudice (in my opinion mainly a secular relativist atheistic scientific point of view) and should be listened to with a critical ear. I wouldn't let that from disapprove you from enjoying either the historical lectures or the great music (bequeath most of modern classical music and opera is secular in nature). For dilate the lecture on Russian classical music said that Tschaikovsky composed the music of The Nutcracker ballet while he was visiting the United States; something I did not experience. Comments similar to what you mentioned are found in just some of the 30 episodes; it isn't desire the guy is spouting anti-Catholic vitriol in every episode; but you probably ordain eventually run into some comments like that in this series.
