‘The Classical Guitar’ series
I found the dates of these in a listing of all the programmes in this series here (what order they’re sorted in is by no means obvious). I have usually given the titles as they are announced (rather than always in the original language).
The name in brackets after the date is the presenter, and the Segovia numbers given after Sor studies are those assigned to them by the former in his selected edition of 20 (which for a long time were the ones most frequently used).

Pied Piper (1) (40'46"): 20 Jan 1976 [David Munrow]
The unannounced piece at 35'58", played on the organ at Frederiksborg Castle, has finally been identified by a friend of Allan Rasmussen, one of the current organists there; so especial thanks to both of them.
It is by Samuel Scheidt (1587–1654), and the sheet music is here.

Flamenco
Paco Peña
? (31'56"): ? [Paco Peña]
Exactly which programme this may be is not obvious, since Paco recorded several for BBC Radio, and their website gives dates but no contents lists. I would guess it’s an early one, since Paco plays Moruna almost exactly the same as he does on his 1970 recording; and thus the most likely candidates are Guitar Recital on 14th July 1971, and Flamenco Guitar on 27th May 1974.
| Composer | Title | Start |

| Milonga flamenca | 00'01" |
| Alegrías de Cádiz | 05'28" |
| Zambra «Moruna» | 10'33" |
| Sabicas | Farruca «Los Caireles» | 15'36" |
| Colombianas | 20'20" |

The Spirit of Flamenco (55'38"): 16 Jun 2014 [Paco Peña]
‘Paco Peña is one of the world's greatest flamenco guitarists and the first musician to be made a professor of flamenco. In “The Spirit of Flamenco” Paco goes on a personal journey to explore how the religion and music of southern Spain have come together to create one of the most infectious sounds of world music. He’ll delve into the spiritual side of flamenco and explore how faith impacts on this vibrant musical style and how they inspired his great Flamenco Mass which has been performed in his home city of Córdoba at the famous Mezquita-Catedral—the mosque turned church with its distinctive red and white Islamic arches. He’ll feature the gypsy communities in Andalucía that gave birth to flamenco, which for them is as much a way of life as a musical style and he’ll [talk] about “duende”—the soul of flamenco. He’ll discover what it takes to make the best flamenco guitar, try his hand in the workshop and give an impromptu master class on the techniques of flamenco guitar.’ (BBC Online)
