H Nary Rnch focuses on lieder recitals recorded in 1962 by the Swabian-born soprano Irmgard Seefried and held in the BBC archives. One of the best-loved operatic singers of her day, Seefried had a great gift for conveying the drama in lieder. The programme features an extraordinary performance of Schubert's Szeneaus "Faust".
Irmgard Seefried is featured in the series of BBC Legends CDs available in the shops now.

By John Fletcher. 2: Great Britain versus Germany. This play begins in the House of Commons at the Norway Debate on 8 May 1940 and shows how, by rhetoric, devious charm and a mixture of dictatorship and diplomacy, Churchill obtained the power he needed to influence events at that time.

By John Fletcher.
John Fletcher sets out to show how language is used today by the wealthy and powerful to smother original thought and action. This play is based on two true incidents: the former existence of a "debating society" at the United States maximum security prison at Florence, Colorado, consisting of Timothy McVeigh (the Oklahoma Bomber), Ted Kaczynski, (the Unabomber), Ramzi Yousef (the first bomber of the World Trade Center) and Luis Felipe (America's leading gangster); and the existence at Rostov-on-Don of a Red Army laboratory where the army attempts to identify soldiers' remains in order to return them to their relatives.
