Basil Cameron, one of the most brilliant of British conductors, has had a distinguished career. He studied the violin at the Berlin High School of Music under Joachim and Max Bruch and later finished his studies under Leopold Auer. He played in the Queen's Hall Orchestra, conducted a Wagner Centenary Festival, and in 1914 co-operated with Sir Thomas Beecham in a Richard Strauss Festival. After serving in the last war he became conductor of the Municipal Orchestra at Hastings and also of the Harrogate Municipal Orchestra.
In 1930 he went to America and directed the San Francisco Orchestra, later taking over the post of chief conductor of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. In America he made a reputation as a fine conductor of the classics as well as the moderns, making a speciality of music by British and American composers.

A (s)light entertainment for the afternoon
Trio in D, Op. 70, No. 1 played by The Kutcher Trio
Samuel Kutcher (violin);
George Roth (cello) ; Harry Isaacs (piano)
Published in 1809, the same year as the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies, Beethoven's Piano Trio in D major, Op. 70, No. I, used to be called the ' Ghost Trio ' because of its eerie slow movement. Sketches for this movement are to be found in one of Beethoven's sketch books immediately after a rough sketch of a witches' chorus intended for an uncompleted opera based on Shakespeare's Macbeth. The libretto, however, was abandoned by Collin, the author of the play Coriolanus, ' because it bade fair to be too gloomy '.
Conductor, G. W. Hespe

Standing on a dangerous corner
Michael Standing keeps an eye on road-users at a big traffic centre
' somewhere in London '
This broadcast is not meant to entertain, though it is meant to show in an entertaining way how all of us, whether motorists, cyclists, or pedestrians, perhaps unconsciously, but continually, do the wrong and dangerous thing.
Visualise a busy traffic centre, with traffic converging from all sides. There are policemen to guide you, or traffic lights to let you by or hold you up. It should be fool-proof, but because of human nature it is not.
Listeners will hear directions given from a police car to various users of the road who make mistakes. And Michael Standing will be heard interrogating some of those who have made them.
