In 1934, H G Wells asked Arthur Bliss to compose the music for a film,
Things to Come, to be produced by Alexander Korda and based on Wells's novel. The movie became a milestone in the history of the cinema, and Bliss's score was celebrated as a superb example of its type. But several mysteries remain: why did Bliss write and record the music before the film was shot? Why was not all of his music used in the film, and why were Bliss's own recordings declined? What happened to the original score, and why were only four of Bliss's eight 78s ever issued?
Jonathan Dobson has tracked down the unissued Bliss recordings, including four 78s presumed lost, with the help of Lady Bliss,
Giles Easterbrook , Christopher Frayling , Lionel Salter and Margaretta Scott. Producer Daniel Snowman

A welcome return to the Proms and London's Royal
Albert Hall for one of Norway's premier orchestras, renowned throughout the world. A sparkling Rossini overture and a selection of lyrical songs by Grieg set the scene for a great symphonic journey.
