Part 3 Elgar
Symphony No 2, in E flat major

Compiled and introduced by Douglas Cleverdon
With an Eligiac Improvisation on the Death of Paul Eluard and a passage from Journal 1937-1939 recorded by DAVID Gascoyne: and sequences from Night Thoughts, with ROBERT HARRIS as The Solitary, first broadcast in 1955. The poems read by Frank Duncan
David Gascoyne 's first book of poems appeared in 1932, when he was 16 years old. Before he was 20, he had written an autobiographical novel, another volume of poems, mainly surrealist, and A Short Sur vey of Surrealism. But since then, apart from translations, he has published only two books of poems and finally, in 1956, a major work for radio, Night Thoughts. These three volumes reveal his development through anguished sensibilHy and spiritual suffering into a visionary poetic achievement of extraordinary power. Producer john theocharis
