G.B.S. on Music

on BBC Radio 3

'Never in my life have I penned an impartial criticism and I hope I never may ...' Cyril Cusack reads from the London music criticisms of George Bernard Shaw (with records) and peppery comments on that sentimental voluptuary Brahms, Dvorak's musical mortuary decorations, a sackful of opera singers and a dead bird in the crimson Covent Garden pigeon-house; a chat with Bob Schumann , sham religious works called oratorios, and a few seasonal comments on Christmas, that atrocious institution with its round of slaughtering, gorging and drinking.
