The Non-Divine Comedy by ZYGMUNT KRASINSKI
Adapted by STUART GRIFFITHS from M. w. COOK'S translation Music by HANS HEIMLER with Gabriel Woolf , David March and Stephen Murray
This play, which first appeared in 1834. is generally regarded as one of the most important works of the romantic period in Eastern Europe, one of the major classics of Polish dramatic literature.
Zygmunt Krasinski (1812-1859) is one of the great Byronic poets of Poland's heroic 19th century. The play not only dramatises the hero's conflict between high ideals and the sordidness of real life but also, prophetically, confronts him with the revolutionary forces of the mass uprising of the following century embodied in a great rebel leader who foreshadows Lenin and Stalin.

Brahms's longest set of songs is based on a tale of love and chivalry by LUDWIG TIECK: two songs are for the female characters in the story. The work is being broadcast twice this week, with ROBERT TEAR (tenor) and ERNEST LUSH (piano)
Keinen hat es noch gereut; Traun! Bogen und Pfeil; Sind es Schmerzen?: Liebe kam aus fernen Landen; So willst du des Armen?; Wie soil ich die Freude?; War es dir?; Wir miissen uns trennen: Ruhe, Sussliebchen; Verzweiflung; Magelone: Wie schnell verschwindet: Muss es eine Trennung geben?; Sulima: Geliebter, wo zaudert? ; Wie froh und frisch; Treue Liebe dauert lange
Tonight the songs of Magelone and Sulima are sung by SARAH WALKER (mezzo-soprano)
