Overture: The Village Trial......Grétry The Italian symphony. ...Mendelssohn
.Mendelssohn complained that the ' Italian ' Symphony, completed in 1831, cost .him some of the bitterest moments in his life, and in consequence it was not published until after his death, in 1847. Despite this fact, it is one of his finest works.
We may ' safely conclude ', says
Sir Donald Tovey , ' that Mendelssohn's own dissatisfaction with the " Italian " Symphony is rather an objection to the laws of human growth than the recognition of defects that self-criticism and revision can remedy. Certainlv in the first three movements every bar and every note is in the right place, except for one tiny oversight in the slow movement which only a mistaken piety would leave uncorrected. As to the finale, no defect is discoverable ; but we can imagine that Mendelssohn could have wished to broaden its design towards the end '. Despite the excellence of this last movement, Mendelssohn had intended to revise it.'

Liszt's ' Two episodes from Lenau's Faust ' are considered by the admirers of the composer's music to be two of his finest orchestral works. The ' Mephisto Waltz ' is well known to listeners, but ' The Procession in the Night' is unfortunately rarely heard. It describes Faust wandering through the summer night. He meets some pilgrims who are singing a chant. He is deeply moved, and after they have gone he remains lost in thought.
Presented astride his hobby-horse in the Wars of the Bowling-Green from ' The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy , Gentleman', by Laurence Steme
Arranged and. produced for broadcasting by Francis Dillon
There is no more delightful character in English fiction than Uncle Toby, tough old soldier, wounded in the wars, whose blunt phrases and shrewd comments ever served to puncture the interminable arguments of his more scholarly neighbours to let in a relieving draught of common sense and good humour. His simple soul was most happily itself when, assisted by the faithful Corporal Trim, he lived again in the privacy of his own estate those old campaigns in which he had helped to make history. This was his ' hobby-horse ', and it affords the most appropriate setting for a first meeting with him.'
