(sung in English: records)
BBC CHORUS AND SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA conducted by COLIN DAVIS
8.40* The Perfect Year
It was only with reluctance that the ageing Haydn undertook an oratorio based on James Thomson 's poem ' The Seasons' but as the work progressed he found his interest captured.

Maker of Signs
Compiled and introduced by Peter Orr with autobiographical recollections recorded by David Jones for the British Council and for Jon Silkin.
David Jones, poet and painter, died a year ago, a few days before his 80th birthday. His two great works 'In Parenthesis' and 'The Anathemata,' with their powerful symbolic content are not easy to grasp; and for most of his life he remained virtually unknown. But in recent years he has been increasingly recognised as a major poet in the Anglo-Celtic tradition.
