Mantovani, who is English in spite of his Italian name, has been broadcasting for many years now. At eighteen years of age he was leader of the Salon Orchestra at the Metropole Hotel, London, and he broadcast from there for six years.
He left the Metropole to form his own band at the Monseigneur Restaurant, Piccadilly, and it was thus that his Tipica Orchestra came into being. He gave it this name because he claims that whatever the nationality of the music played, it always sounds typical of the country of its origin.

It is good news for listeners in the Forces who are engaged on parades and so forth on Wednesday afternoons that this stimulating programme is now being broadcast on Sunday afternoons. Just as many programmes in the Home Service are successfully recorded and repeated at other times of day in the Forces programmes, this repeat of Sunday's ' Any Questions ' is now being broadcast as an experiment to see if it reaches a wider audience.

(Section A)
Leader, Paul Beard
Conducted by Malcolm Sargent
Glazunov's Symphony No. 6, in C minor, which was written in 1896, is probably the most popular in Britain of the composer's eight symphonies. Edwin Evans has summed it up as follows: ' It differs from the others in that its two middle sections, charming as they are, seem too slight, too fragile, to be enclosed in so massive a frame as that formed by the two outside movements.
' The place of the Andante is taken by the short set of'not very elaborate variations, that of the Scherzo by an Intermezzo which is almost ingenuous. The opening Allegro is a fine edifice of symphonic architecture, and the Finale is a highly ingenious feat of rhythmical development.'
