Clearing away the thick forests of New Zealand to make room for cultivation has been one of the big jobs over the last eight hundred years. Anyone in New Zealand who earns his Jiving with an axe is known as a 'bush wacker '. Today's talk is given by a Maori official who has lived and worked with the bush wackers up and down the forest belts of the Dominion. He has a thrilling story to tell of man against the jungle.
Conducted by Guy Warrack
Boccherini, who is known almost entirely today by his famous Minuet, was Haydn's great comtemporary and rival. Like Haydn, he wrote an enormous number of symphonies and string quartets, and he may well be considered one of the great founders of modern orchestral music.
