Memories of a great pianist and friend uy WILLIAM MANN
(with gramophone records)
Mr Katchen is a pianist of considerable gifts. He has a crisp and assured finger technique and a keen sense of rhythm, and can draw on powerful muscular resources as well as a beautifully poetic lyricism in soft passages.
(William Mann on Katchen's British debut, 27 April 1949)
(Another chance to hear the programme first broadcast on 4 July. A tribute to another great musician -Solomon, 'The Ideal Pianist ': Thurs, 9.5 am)
In 1881 Ronald Ross , a young doctor, entered the Indian Medical Service. Almost immediately he became obsessed with experimentally verifying the theory that mosquitoes spread malaria; at that time the cause of the disease was disputed.
Through the centuries it had caused great suffering and uncounted deaths; indeed, every year a third of the British Army in India sickened or died from malaria.
This is the story of how Ross - despite Army and official indifference and obstruction - determinedly pursued his research and was eventually knighted for his pioneer work in this field.
