Frederick Thurston (clarinet)
A particularly interesting item in this evening's programme is the rarely heard clarinet concerto of Stamitz. The soloist, Frederick Thurston , is one of the finest exponents of his instrument.
He first studied the clarinet under his father, and then won an open scholarship to the Royal College of Music and studied under that great clarinettist, Charles Draper. On leaving the Royal College of Music, Thurston joined the Covent Garden Orchestra and what was then known as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Since the early days of the BBC at Marconi House, Thurston has played principal clarinet, and although still a young man when the BBC Symphony Orchestra was formed he was chosen for the post of principal clarinet.

In a RADIO TIMES note on the last ' Everybody's Scrapbook ', broadcast on October 10, mention was made of an episode in the life of Sir Edward Elgar , in which it was hoped that the composer's daughter, Mrs. Elgar Blake , would take part. This announcement was somewhat premature. The Elgar episode will be included in tonight's programme, and forms an appropriate trailer for a symphony concert next Sunday, when Elgar's 'Enigma ' Variations will be broadcast.

Leader, J. Mouland Begbie

Stanford's ' Irish' Symphony is practically unknown to the present generation. It should be more popular because it is full of good tunes.
The chief tune in the slow movement is rather like the one that opens the slow movement of Brahms's Fourth Symphony, but although the two symphonies were composed about the same time, it is not a case of plagiarism. Stanford actually based his tune on an old Irish folk song, ' The Lament of the Sons of Usnach '.
The last movement is based on two Irish tunes, ' Remember the glories of Bryan the Brave ' and ' Let Erin remember the days of old
