In this conversation she talks to LESLIE SMITH about her experiences

New light on Henry Irving and Ellen Terry 's relationship has been shed by a collection of letters sold recently at Sotheby's.
ROGER MANVELL , whose biography of Ellen Terry was published on Monday, read the letters before they left for America.
This was one of the scores commissioned by Serge Koussevitzky for the fiftieth anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1930. Aiming at a work with great contrapuntal development, Stravinsky chose a choral and instrumental ensemble in which the two elements were on an equal footing. A choir implied words and, being a religious person, it was natural that he should think of the Psalms. Eschewing conventional symphonic form, he also decided against a normal orchestra. And so he came to write his Symphony of Psalms for choir, woodwind, brass, drums, harp, two pianos, cellos, and basses-a masterpiece as moving as it is austere. Felix Aprahamian
