A programme of gramophone records presented by Scott Goddard
The effect of music on the German people is puzzling for anyone who tries to connect that nation's musical past with her present political state. Such a person may ask how is it that a people who were brought up on the superb things of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, the exquisite loveliness of Schubert and Brahms, the splendid dramatic music of Wagner, could swallow whole the creed of the Nazis? If we feel that the political vices of today are a flagrant condemnation of what were held to be the artistic virtues of yesterday (which is pretty much what the Nazis say), then for us here there does exist a German Enigma.
