followed by The Weather
A film about the romantic and tragic history of the country whose invasion thirty years ago this week marked the beginning of the Second World War.
Think, think of us, O Poland of mine, when we shall be already gone! Have we not made of your name a prayer that weeps and a thunder that lightens?
Commentary by Patrick O'Donovan
Spoken by John Westbrook
The programme's title is taken from the motto traditionally displayed on the banners of the Polish Legion; but the national tragedy of the Poles as a people is that they seldom in their history have been free. And whenever they have wrested liberty from one or other of their overlords they've been unable to keep it for long.
Tonight's documentary deals with the worst tragedy in the nation's history; the Poles call it 'the September catastrophe,' and the world knows it as the first act in the Second World War. Courage and cavalry met tanks; the tanks won.

Millions go to movies who would never go to a concert hall... they would even feel afraid of great music... but if they hear it in the cinema they realise this music is very interesting (Stokowski)
In the second of two programmes Leopold Stokowski, the veteran conductor, speaks of the things that have made him one of music's most legendary and controversial figures. He recalls Holly-wood in the 1930s when he worked with Walt Disney on Fantasia and discusses his transcriptions of Bach organ works. He talks about his recording experiences in pre-electrical days, his concern for concert-hall acoustics and his controversial views on orchestral seating. On a more personal level he recalls some of the composers he knew: Schoenberg, Rachmaninov, Richard Strauss, and Elgar.
