Thelma Reiss (cello)
BBC Symphony Orchestra
Leader, Paul Beard

Solo cello, Thelma Reiss Ballet music: The Perfect Fool Holst
By technique and personality -and a certain intensive beauty in her playing, Thelma Reiss has won her way into the front rank of our younger cellists. Our own critics have acclaimed her ; France, Holland, Norway, and Spain have all recognised her outstanding gifts. She was something of a child prodigy, for at the age of seven she was able to play the Goltermann Concerto in A minor, and in her early teens won an open scholarship to the R.C.M.

Symphony No. 2 played by BBC Scottish Orchestra
Leader, J. Mouland Begbie Guest conductor,
Warwick Braithwaite
According to Schumann's biographer, Wasielewsky, Schumann said he sketched his Second Symphony at a time when he was going through great physical suffering. Thus the music portrays the struggle between the mental and the physical: the first movement is full of this contest and is therefore freakish and restless in character.
An important departure from classical custom is the use of certain themes of the first movement later in the work and the introduction of a recurring motive which is heard at the beginning on the horns, trumpets, and trombones.
