by PAUL THOMPSON after ALFRED DE MUSSET with music composed and conducted by Stephen Oliver with Florence 1536 suffers every aspect of political oppression.
The soldier enforces peace, the cardinal seeks political solutions, merchants grumble, trying to make ends meet, while the banker feels a period of repressive government will facilitate recovery. Even the artist is compromised by his commissions from a ruler in love with his assassin. Only murder makes ends meet....

The poetry of CYPRIAN NORWID (1821-83) by JERZY PETERKIEWICZ who also translated the poems in collaboration with BURNS SINGER and CHRISTINE BROOKE-ROSE
Cyprian Norwid died 100 years ago at a home for destitute
Polish exiles in Paris. Ignored, misunderstood or ridiculed during his lifetime, he was rediscovered at the beginning of this century and is now recognised as one of the most original minds in Polish literature.
Bitter bread is Polishness. How eager they all are to die for liberty, as if the cemetery alone could be called free.
Readers GABRIEL WOOLF and BARBARA LEIGH-HUNT Polish reader
