Those Musical Years with Cynthia Glover Charles Young and the LONDON THEATRE ORCHESTRA conducted by ALEXANDER FARIS 1927 and 1946 1927 - when Lindbergh made the first solo Atlantic flight, is paired with 1946 - when the BBC launched the Third Programme. Two ' firsts ' in 1927 were the BBC's first-ever racing commentary (they chose the Grand National) and the first automatic telephone exchange in London at Holborn. In 1946 Heathrow Airport was opened, and in October the Nuremberg war crimes tribunal came to an end when 11 Nazi leaders were sentenced to death. The musicals of those years included The Desert Song, Showboat. Annie Get Your Gun and The Song of Norway. Two years chosen at random and they produced, among many other hits, Lady Be Good, My Heart Stood Still, It's a Grand Night for Singing. Written by IAN WALLACE Producer BARRY KNIGHT
