The Princess Edmond de Polignac (1865-1943) was the daughter of the founder of the Singer sewing-machine empire, and devoted her share of the Singer fortune to the promotion of the arts, principally music. She organised regular concerts at her houses in Paris and Venice, and among those whom she encouraged were Ravel, Stravinsky, Manuel de Falla, Poulenc and Kurt Weill. This ten-part series Includes many of the works commissioned by the Princess, and some of the other music associated with her salon. This first programme includes two pieces by Emmanuel Chabrier , and Faurg's first great song-cycle, Cinq Melodies de Venise, sung by GÉRARD SOUZAY.

The Liberty to Know ' The domain of the anarchic and the arbitrary appears to be extending in society generally. To acquiesce in its extension in broadcasting would probably have the effect of accelerating its extension in society.' In his IBA lecture Freedom and Censorship, DR CONOR CRUISE O'BRIEN, Editor-in-Chief of The Observer, called for greater support for the principle of public responsibility in broadcasting. Michael Charlton chairs a discussion between Dr O'Brien, Geoffrey Robertson , barrister and writer, and Richard Francis , Director of News and Current Affairs in the BBC. about the relationship between broadcasters and governments.
