Weber Overture: DerFreischiitz Zemlinsky Lyric Symphony, in seven songs, for soprano, baritone and orchestra

by Jon Silkin
Read by Nigel Anthony, Miriam Margolyes, John Rowe

'There is no language, some say, that could speak of this. And some no language that should speak.'
Finn and Kye await the birth of their first child with joy. But he is born without recognisable intelligence and dies while still a baby. Under unbearable strain their marriage starts to crack. Stein, a Buchenwald survivor tells them how he has seen humanity triumph even there. In describing it, he liberates himself from the past.

Part 1
Handel Concerto Grosso No 28, in F major (a due chori)
Motet: Silete venti
Jill Gomez (soprano)

Sir Lennox Berkeley says: "Two pieces of early 18th century music receive their first Prom performances tonight. Handel's Concerti a due chori are little known to the public and the title is somewhat confusing, the word 'chori' meaning instrumental groups. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra by John Eliot Gardiner and they have recently revived many works by Rameau. Les Fetes d'Hebe was an opera-ballet of the type invented largely by Lully."

ODÖN VON HORVÁTH, the Hungarian-born novelist and playwright. was killed by a falling tree in a thunderstorm on the Champs Elysees in 1938. DAVID PHILIPS describes the curious circumstances surrounding the poet's death; and argues that Horvath's novels and plays have been unjustly neglected in this country.
