Boyd Neel String Orchestra

Arthur Bliss's ' Music for Strings ' is one of his most admirable works, and in achievement bears comparison with Elgar's ' Introduction and Allegro '. It received its first performance at the Salzburg Festival in 1935 by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Adrian Boult.
The music consists of three movements that should follow each other without a break, and the writing shows a fine sense of colour and contrast in the handling of string tone.
by Henrik Ibsen
Adapted for broadcasting by Norman Ginsbury
Characters
Scene: A small spa in Norway
Produced by Barbara Burnham
Very few of Ibsen's plays can be said to date as long as human nature remains fundamentally unchanged. This is particularly so in the case of An Enemy of the People, which is as significant today as it was when it was written in 1882. To some extent this play is autobiographical in that Dr. Stockmann, who hoped to serve his fellow townsmen by telling the truth and was in consequence denounced as an enemy of the people, may be roughly identified with Ibsen himself, who had aroused such virulent hostility with his previous play Ghosts.
