Piano Concerto No 22, in I flat major (K 482)
NINA MILKINA (piano)
LONDON MOZART PLAYERS leader ROBERT MASTERS conductor HARRY BLECH

by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (first published 1600) with songs and incidental music by ANTHONY BERNARD
The producer, RAYMOND RAIKES , writes:
It is nearly midsummer-night in 1970, and this may be one of the last chances to hear Shakespeare's fairy-comedy before it is reinterpreted by Kott and Brook. The music by the late Anthony Bernard was written for productions of the play at Stratford-uponAvon in the 1930s and re-orchestrated by the composer in 1943 for the Theatre Royal, Santiago, who had asked the British Council to recommend an English score to replace the over-familiar Mendelssohn music.
A fragment of an Elizabethan melody. ' Heartsease,' is used with variations in the music for Oberon and Titania, and the music for the clowns is an old English folk tune.
