BBC Two is the second flagship television channel of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. It covers a wide range of subject matter, but tends to broadcast more "highbrow" programmes than the more mainstream and popular BBC One. Like the BBC's other domestic TV and radio channels, it is funded by the television licence, and is therefore free of commercial advertising. It is a comparatively well-funded public-service network, regularly attaining a much higher audience share than most public-service networks worldwide.

Two Loves

Poetry and Music from the Age of Elizabeth I
Compiled and presented by Peggy Ashcroft and Julian Bream
Today is the 80th birthday of one of Britain's most celebrated and best-loved actresses, Peggy Ashcroft.
This evening she joins Julian Bream in the elegant Long Gallery at Penshurst Place in Kent for a programme of Shakespeare's poetry and Dowland's music. Besides such famous poems as Orpheus with his Lute and Come away Death, Peggy Ashcroft includes extracts from Othello, Venus and Adonis, Phoenix and the Turtle and, of course, some of the sonnets.
Julian Bream 's lute solos include John Dowland's haunting Lachrymae, a galliard dedicated to 'the most Sacred Queene Elizabeth', settings of popular ballads and a fiendishly difficult Fancy.

Julian Bream
A Life in the Country
Far removed from his cockney childhood during the blitz in Battersea, Julian Bream now lives in an 18th-century farmhouse, in one of the most beautiful parts of England - the borders of Wiltshire and Dorset. But his home in the country is in no way an escapist retreat - it has become the centre of his working life. Here, he not only supervises the garden and organises cricket matches, but rehearses his Consort, studies new works and makes recordings.
In this film he plays both the lute and the guitar and with friends and colleagues like John Williams , Robert Tear and Hans Werner Henze performs music ranging from Bach to Rodrigo, from Dowland to Django Reinhardt. Commentary spoken by MICHAEL ALDRIDUE

Festa in Montepulciano Hans Werner Henze's
International Workshop
' I wanted to make myself useful to society, as an artist. It's so difficult for a composer to make himself useful! Many people think it's sufficient to write good scores, but I think there must be something more. So in this case I have been doing something outside my own work. I wanted to touch these lovely people by their roots and make them open up, and to make the place an example for civilisation.'
Last summer the composer Hans Werner Henze created an unusual music workshop in the beautiful Tuscan town of Montepulciano. With the help of 200 international artists and the Communist town council, he tried to bring back some of the cultural activities which industrialisation had drained out of the town. A workshop for the local people, not a festival. HENZE guides us through some of the events, and re-creates the unique atmosphere of enthusiasm and chaos whirh reigned in Montepulciano.
With extracts from:
Il Palazzo Zoologico , a children's opera by THOMAS JAHN to a libretto by English children, designed by local schoolchildren, directed by VOLKER SCHLONDORFF
Don Quixote , an opera by PAISI-ELLO, re-scored by Henze to include the local brass band, staged in the town Piazza
