Part 1 conducted by JOHN POOLE
Edward Cowie Gesangbuch (first complete performance of the version for 24 voices and 12 instruments) ' Gesangbuch is a musical response to Nature. If it were not possible to write words, paint pictures, give a mime, or simply attempt an evocation in words, then Gesangbuch would be my way of praising the Seasons. The four movements are entitled Herbstlich: Eaves Wood, Winterlied: Martinmere, Habichtswald: Leighton Moss and Stimmungsbild: Hest Bank. Gesangbuch is dedicated to Michael Tip pett. The German and English titles derive from Tippett's admiration for Goethe, and my love of the German poet's researches into the natural world as a part of his own art.' (EDWARD cowie)

Music by George Gershwin Lyrics by IRA GERSHWIN Original dialogue by GUY BOLTON and FRED THOMPSON
Presented as an entertainment for late-evening listening
The music recorded on behalf of the European Broadcasting Union by Belgian Radio in association with National Public Radio of the USA.
Ladu Be Good was written for one of the newer successes of Broadway in 1924 - the brother and sister team of Fred and Adele Astaire. Because of their blood relationship, the plot had to be constructed carefully, and although Fred Astaire. in his autobiography Steps in Time, said that he had forgotten what it was, it provides a sidelight on those times. and above all served to stimulate Gershwin's genius. and AND CHORUS conducted by LEHMAN ENGEL Act 1
