PETER MUELLER.
But is British success just around the corner? Twenty-one-year-old MARTIN BELL from Harrogate is now a consistent points scorer, and his medal prospects at next year's World Championships and the Calgary Winter Olympics suddenly look worthy of discussion.

The third of six programmes recorded at the Royal Festival Hall, London marking the appointment of Andre Previn as Music Director of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Brahms Double Concerto with Salvatore Accardo (violin) Anne Martindale Williams (cello)
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra leader BARRY GRIFFITHS conducted by Andre Previn
In his introductory essay, Previn says: 'The best concertos are often symphonic by nature, and this composition combines characteristics of concerto, chamber-music and symphony, displaying all the assurance of a mastercraftsman. The range of the violin plus the added sonority of the cello gives Brahms a particularly warm palette of tone-colours. This concerto was the last orchestral piece that Brahms wrote, yet it's expansive and rhapsodic as well as being gloriously integrated.'

Ten films about contemporary architecture 9: Texas: Instant Cities
'Texas is a marvellous place to build, it's the last
American state, a great country, a separate country. They have the money and the desire to decorate their state and they're doing a bang-up job of it.' (PHILIP JOHNSON ) Texas is America's 'super state', the land for the super rich, a boom country for architects and developers. Available cheap land, no zoning laws, unlimited wealth and an expansionist attitude make Texas a unique place of architectural experiment - a great Lego kit where all the problems and permutations of modern architecture can be played out. In the pop-up cities of Dallas and Houston - built for big business - new concepts and new values are turning upside down the traditional perceptions of town and city planning. Huge corporations vie with each other for the best names in architecture - such as Philip Johnson and I. M. Pei who, in this programme, discuss their work, as well as the young Arquitectonica team from
Miami and William Canaday. In these cities, new values and new dimensions are being forged daily. They have very little to do with the perception people have of older cities. This is the 21st century in the making - a prospect which is intriguing, daring and deeply disturbing. Narrator ANDREW SACHS Film editor PAT O'GRADY
