Tlj(' Eye o/ the Beholder Composers' visions of each other form the basis of Jeremy Siepmann 's selection of records this week, with Bach recreating Vivaldi, Busoni following suit with Bach himself, and Stravinsky recomposing Gesualdo. Satie is heard through the ears of Debussy,
Dowland through those of Thomas Horley , and Bizet through the power of suggestion. Benjamin Britten demonstrates the Midas touch with an Irish folk song, Tielman Susato puts his faith in posterity, and Chopin pays a peculiar sort of homage to Mozart.

Today's programme pays tribute to a man whose talents as a musicologist, teacher and performer combined to make him perhaps the strongest single influence in the emergence of today's early-music scene: Thurston Dart. who died on 6 March
1971. Dart himself can be heard both as broadcaster and performer; and his lasting influence on a younger generation of performers is evident in ANDREW PARROTT S introduction to his new s of Bach's BrandenburgConcertos. He takes as his starting point Thurston Dart 's characteristically iconoclastic theories of the early 60s.
