played by Sidney Lipton and his Band
S.dney Lipton was to have been a straight violinist, but an accident to his hand changed all his plans, and preparations to finish his studies under Albert Sammons had to go by the board. Forced to the land of lighter music, he formed a dance band and played at the Palace Hotel, Kensington, where Ambrose heard him and engaged him as leader of some of his subsidiary bands. This led to his appointment at Grosvenor House ten years ago.

BBC Northern Orchestra leader, Laurance Turner in a programme of his own works
Suite: Springtime Saxo-rhapsody
(Solo saxophone, Arthur Stuteley )
Fantasy: The three bears
The fashion of dismissing light music as something not worthy of the attention of serious musicians and music-lovers is a phase of the modern musical world that has no precedent in history. People are apt to forget that the great masters up to the nineteenth century — Mozart, for instance--did not disdain to write music in a light and even frivolous vein.
Eric Coates may well be called a master of modern light music. He combines first-rate craftsmanship and fluent invention with an appeal that is widely and immediately attractive.

(Section B)
Leader, Paul Beard
Conductor, Sir Adrian Boult
Myra Hess (piano) ORCHESTRA
Although display provides a very small part of the make-up of this concerto, it is extremely difficult to perform. Like the D minor Piano Concerto, it is more a symphony for orchestra and piano obbligato than a concerto in the accepted sense of the term. It is certainly one of Brahms's most beautiful works.
The slow movement particularly, which is for the most part a deeply expressive dialogue between solo piano and solo cello, is of outstanding beauty. The finale gives the lie to those who contend that Brahms was unable to be light, airy, and gay.
