A weekly commentary on American affairs
Raymond Gram Swing
(From America)
Raymond Swing has become known to listeners in this country as an ideal commentator on American affairs. An outstanding American journalist whose views on political developments carry weight with his own countrymen, he has also a thorough knowledge of the British viewpoint.
Although great improvements have since been made in the conditions of transatlantic reception, the quality of a broadcast that has come across the Atlantic and been picked up for re-transmission here cannot be expected always to equal that of a studio show.

(Section E)
Led by Marie Wilson
Conducted by Clarence Raybould
Antonio Brosa (violin)
Robin Milford was born at Epsom in 1903 and studied music at Rugby and at the Royal College of Music. He is now engaged in teaching music at a school. Among his major works there is an oratorio, A Prophet in the Land, which was first performed in 1931 at the Three Choirs Festival and has since been heard in London. His instrumental works include a string quartet, a suite for oboe, and ' The Darkling Thrush ' for solo violin and orchestra. The Violin Concerto to be heard this evening is his latest and one of his most interesting works.
