From a Northern theatre
In Act 2 we find Butterfly and her child alone Pinkerton having been called home on duty. Three years have passed by since he sailed, but she still trusts him implicitly and with her son, Little Trouble', awaits his return.
In the meantime Pinkerton has married an American girl. He receives an order from the United States Navy to return to Japan, and with him he takes his wife, Kate. He writes to Sharpless, asking him to break the news to Butterfly.
Sharpless gives the letter to Butterfly, but she is so overjoyed that she does not trouble to open it but bids her maid, Suzuki, gather flowers to decorate the villa for her loved one's welcome home. She stays up all the night, but falls asleep in the morning from sheer fatigue.
Trio in B, Op. 8, for violin, cello, and piano
(Revised in 1891) played by Eda Kersey (violin)
James Whitehead (cello)
Kathleen Long (piano)
This broadcast of Brahms's Trio No. 1 in B is the first of a series of broadcasts which covers the whole of Brahms's trios, from the present one to the Trio in A minor for piano, clarinet, and cello.
An interesting event in the series is a broadcast of the Piano Trio in A major, which was composed about the same time as the B major and was lost until 1924, when it was first performed at the Rhenish Chamber Music Festival.
The Trio you will hear this evening was originally published in 1854 and is therefore his first really ambitious work. But in 1891 he published a revised version that, except for the Scherzo, was virtually a new work. New thematic material was added to the principal themes of the three other movements and each movement reconstructed.

It was association with two other famous broadcasting organists, Reginald Dixon and Reginald New, that led Joseph Seal to take up the cinema organ in 1933 when he was only twenty years of age. He had had plenty of organ-playing experience before that though, for he was learning at the age of thirteen, and in a few months was appointed organist to St. Cuthbert's Church, Darwen, Lancashire. After playing for twelve months at the Regal Cinema, Altrincham, he went to the Lonsdale Cinema, Carlisle, and then on to the Ritz, Belfast, from which he has given over a hundred broadcasts.
